As we age, the natural effects of time can alter our facial features, making us feel less confident and vibrant. Dr. Wess Cohen, a board-certified plastic surgeon, offers a strategic facelift in Southbury to lift and tighten the face, creating smoother, firmer contours for a refreshed, rejuvenated aesthetic. We help you overcome facial sagging and volume loss and reclaim youthful contours.
Turn Back the Clock on Facial Aging
Facelift is a surgical procedure designed to address visible signs of aging on the face and neck. As we age, our skin loses elasticity, and our facial tissues lose volume, leading to sagging, wrinkles, and jowls. The facelift procedure involves tightening the underlying muscles, removing excess skin, and redistributing fat to create a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance. Dr. Cohen uses the latest facelift techniques to provide natural-looking results that help patients feel confident and refreshed.
Facelift Corrects:
- Sagging skin in the midface and jowls
- Deep creases and wrinkles on the face and neck
- Loss of volume in the cheeks and under the eyes
- Loose skin and excess fat under the chin and jawline (double chin)
- Marionette lines, or the lines that extend from the corners of the mouth to the jawline
- Nasolabial folds, or the deep lines that run from the corners of the nose to the mouth

What Happens During Facelift Surgery?
During your initial consultation with Dr. Cohen, you will discuss your goals for the facelift procedure, your medical history, and any concerns you may have. Dr. Cohen will thoroughly evaluate your facial anatomy to determine the appropriate surgical approach to meet your goals. On the day of the procedure, you will be given anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the surgery.
Dr. Cohen will create incisions in discrete locations, typically around the ears and hairline, to access the underlying muscles and tissues of the face. Through these incisions, he will tighten the facial muscles, redistribute fat, and remove any excess skin. The incisions will be closed with sutures, following which you will be monitored in the recovery room for a few hours. Most facelift procedures take two to four hours.

Facelift Aftercare Guidelines:
- Rest as much as possible in the first few days after surgery
- Keep your head elevated to minimize swelling
- Use cold compresses on your face to help reduce swelling and discomfort
- Take pain medication as prescribed by Dr. Cohen to manage any discomfort
- Avoid strenuous activities and exercise for at least four weeks after surgery
- Avoid smoking or being around smoke, as it can slow down the healing process
- Avoid alcohol consumption for at least two weeks after surgery
- Keep your incisions clean and dry, and follow Dr. Cohen’s wound care instructions
- Attend all follow-up appointments with Dr. Cohen to monitor your progress
- Be patient and allow yourself time to heal fully before returning to your normal routine
When Will I See the Final Results?
While you will see some results immediately after the procedure, it can take several weeks or months for the final results to become fully apparent. Swelling and bruising may take some time to subside, and the healing process can vary depending on the individual. Most patients see the final results after a few months once the side effects subside completely.
