Then you have come to the right place! The facelift procedure is one of the most common surgeries Dr. Schoemann performs at Schoemann Plastic Surgery.
More than that, as a board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, he has a complete understanding of the anatomy and complex intricacies of the facelift procedure. Depending on your overall aesthetic goals, Dr. Schoemann offers several different surgical approaches that prioritize your safety, comfort, and needs. Which one will work best for you will depend on the condition of your skin, the amount of laxity present, your lifestyle, and your age. Dr. Schoemann will work with you to recommend the best approach to create a natural-looking appearance that is both beautiful and appealing.
The facelift procedure is used to correct signs of aging on the face, such as loose, sagging skin and deep lines and wrinkles. By using a gentle but artistic approach, Dr. Schoemann can provide Carlsbad area patients with a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Patients can choose to focus on the areas around the eyes, the cheeks and mid-face, the bottom section of the face near the jowls, mouth, and neck, or the entire face for an all-around improved appearance. Because the facelift procedure is so customizable, Dr. Schoemann can include other surgical procedures in conjunction with a facelift, such as a brow lift and eyelid surgery to improve the appearance of aging eyes or laser procedures like IPL to improve the texture of the skin.
Dr. Schoemann has always believed in hard work and dedication. This is precisely why he worked to obtain a highly exceptional education, including advanced training that made it possible for him to excel in plastic and reconstructive surgeries of the body, face, and hands.
Prior to moving into plastic surgery for adults from the Carlsbad area, Dr. Schoemann spent significant time performing craniofacial surgery on small children. This allowed him to master the most meticulous of cosmetic surgeries and has given him the skill to work with the intricacies of facial structures.
Dr. Schoemann is certified by both the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery. In addition, he holds memberships with the Southeastern Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
The facelift procedure comes with many life-changing benefits, as it can rejuvenate your appearance and take years off your face by improving visible signs of aging and helping you move through each year of your life looking more youthful and beautiful.
Some of the key benefits of a facelift include:
Good candidates for a facelift include adults from Carlsbad who are in good physical and mental health, those who refrain from tobacco use, and those who have realistic expectations for their final results.
Additionally, if you are discouraged by the signs of aging on your face, whether it be the deep lines and wrinkles you see around your mouth or the deflated appearance you see in your mid-face, you might be an ideal candidate for a facelift with Dr. Schoemann.
A facelift with Dr. Schoemann is perfect for men and women who are experiencing significant facial signs of aging. You can achieve a rejuvenated, more youthful appearance if you want to:
Facelift surgery can help patients look up to 10 years younger!
With his skill and precision, Dr. Schoemann will avoid over-tightening the skin, so you can rest assured that your face will not look stretched or windblown.
No matter where you are experiencing sagging skin, a facelift can address this aging characteristic and make you look more refreshed.
Aging skin tends to lose volume as well as elasticity. If you have sunken cheeks, a facelift can be used to redistribute fat to those areas for added volume. Fillers or fat grafting can be done in conjunction to a facelift for added volume.
During a facelift, Dr. Schoemann will carefully tighten your skin and remove excess skin to reduce the appearance of or eliminate the deep lines and wrinkles on the lower two-thirds of your face.
It is important to understand that a traditional facelift will not correct every aspect of your aging face. Instead, the main focus of a facelift is typically the lower two-thirds of the face. Because most patients from Carlsbad want to achieve total facial rejuvenation, Dr. Schoemann will often recommend combining a brow lift, eyelid surgery, or even rhinoplasty with a facelift to address all areas of the face.
Additionally, a facelift will not make you look like your 20-year old self. Instead, this procedure is designed to make you look up to 10 years younger, while still achieving a natural appearance. When you meet with Dr. Schoemann for your initial consultation, be sure to fully explain what your overall goals are for your desired results.
A facelift is used to address facial signs of aging to help patients from Carlsbad look as young as they feel. So, while you technically only need to be 18 to have a facelift, this specific procedure should only be considered when you have experienced significant signs of aging on your face later in life.
As a thoroughly trained and experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. Schoemann knows that one surgical approach will not address the problems of each individual patient.
That is why he offers several types of facelifts—some that focus on the upper portion of the face, and some that focus on the middle and lower portions of the face. Additionally, some patients wish to include a brow lift, eyelid surgery, fillers, or BOTOX® to achieve a more rejuvenated appearance.
A full facelift is the most popular type of facelift surgery and is considered the gold standard. This approach incorporates an incision near the hairline that extends down to the temple region and reaches down to the base of the ears. Even though this incision is long, it is essential in order to gain access to the muscles beneath the skin. To provide correction, Dr. Schoemann will carefully pull and securely tighten the underlying facial tissues and muscles to achieve a lifted appearance and decrease the appearance of wrinkles and sagging. This facelift approach is used for Carlsbad patients who are experiencing advanced signs of aging. It is very common for men and women to combine other facial plastic surgery procedures into a full facelift to achieve the desired results.
The mid-facelift is also commonly referred to as a cheek lift, as it is used to address the droopy features around the cheekbones and upper jaw area. Men and women who want to see an improvement to the lower two-thirds of the face often choose a mid-facelift, which also includes the jowls.
The lower facelift approach addresses the neck area, chin, and jowls. While this surgical approach offers the most improvement, Dr. Schoemann offers non-surgical options such as Kybella or laser skin tightening to provide chin reduction and attain a younger-looking neck.
The mini facelift procedure is used when minor improvements are needed. To perform this surgery, Dr. Schoemann creates a tiny incision around the ears and gently elevates the skin. This, in turn, provides improvement to the mouth area and jawline and provides patients with subtle, natural-looking improvements.
At Shoemann Plastic Surgery, Dr. Schoemann spends intentional time with each patient on an individual basis to identify their specific needs and understand their desired facelift results.
