Want to learn more about facelifts?
Cosmetic surgery is about restoring the best version of yourself. Facelift surgery, or rhytidectomy, is designed to reverse the signs of aging, such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of facial volume in the mid-to-lower area of the face and neck. It is one of several techniques Avenue Aesthetic has available to restore a more youthful facial appearance that meets your needs.
Dr. Venditto also offers other highly customizable cosmetic procedures to address appearance concerns in the upper face.

Are you curious how it happens?
How Is a Facelift Performed?
A thorough consultation with Dr. Venditto will give you a clear understanding of what to expect during and after your surgery. After reviewing your medical history, listening to your concerns, and answering your questions, she will evaluate your face and neck’s structure and skin quality.
Facelift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure, and while customized, the following basic steps are typically performed:
- Dr. Venditto makes careful incisions strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.
- She lifts the skin to access and manipulates facial muscles and tissues to reshape and raise them to a higher, more youthful position.
- Dr. Venditto stretches and smooths the skin to reduce or eliminate lines and wrinkles.
- She then removes excess skin and re-drapes it over your new facial contours.
- The incisions are meticulously closed with sutures using techniques that minimize scarring.
What Is Recovery From a Facelift Like?
Following surgery, you can expect some swelling and bruising, which will gradually subside over the following weeks. Special postoperative care instructions are provided to optimize healing and reduce complication risks and include directions for:
- Showering
- Caring for wounds and changing dressings
- Avoiding strenuous activity
- Resting, eating a nutritious diet, and staying hydrated
- When to return for your follow-up appointment
Want to see past results?
While improvements are visible almost immediately, the results of your facelift become more apparent as swelling and bruising continue to diminish.
The final result should be a more rejuvenated, refreshed, and younger-looking face and neck.
