The face is one of the first areas to show signs of aging. Time, genetics, and sun damage can all impact the skin and create wrinkles and imperfections. Many women and men who visit from Fayetteville, Jonesboro, Conway, Hot Springs, Pine Bluff, and throughout Arkansas feel self-conscious when they develop loose skin or saggy jowls. These changes leave their faces looking older than they feel. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Eric Wright can correct these problems with facelift surgery in Little Rock.
Dr. Eric Wright and his team are proud to help patients take years off their appearance. By lifting loose tissue and contouring the face, you can instantly look like a younger version of yourself. Dr. Wright’s artistic eye and surgical expertise create satisfying, natural-looking results. You no longer have to feel insecure before weddings or class reunions. Your rejuvenated face will reflect your true self.
Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
Facelift surgery is an aesthetic procedure that reduces the signs of aging along the face and neck. Loose, sagging skin or drooping muscles can change the shape of the face. Facelift surgery corrects this sagging by tightening skin and readjusting underlying facial tissues.
During surgery, Dr. Wright can make improvements such as:
During your private consultation, Dr. Wright will carefully examine your face and determine the best approach to your surgery. It’s common to perform additional procedures to allow for complete facial rejuvenation.
A mini facelift, also called a short scar facelift, is a less-invasive version of the standard facelift. It is performed with limited incisions that run in front of and behind the ears. The mini facelift smooths out the cheeks and tightens the jawline. The best candidates for this technique have mild to moderate laxity of the mid to lower face.
Ideal facelift candidates are healthy women and men who are unhappy with the laxity of facial and neck skin or changes that have occurred with aging. You may be ready for a facelift if you struggle with deep lines and wrinkles that nonsurgical treatments can’t fix. Facelift surgery is a long-lasting solution that creates comprehensive results.
An Arkansas native, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Eric Wright has spent over a decade helping Little Rock women and men look and feel their best with both reconstructive and plastic surgery options.
Meet Dr. Wright
Facelift surgery begins with an incision that extends from the temple to behind the ear. This incision gives Dr. Wright access to the deep facial tissues underneath. He carefully adjusts these delicate tissues and lifts them to a higher position, and then tightens or trims any loose skin. He may also make a second incision under the chin to address aging issues along the jaw and neck.
Once the muscles and tissues are lifted, the skin is redraped, and incisions are closed with sutures. Standard facelift surgery may take 3 to 6 hours, depending on the extent of your procedure and the number of additional areas treated.
Immediately after facelift surgery, you’ll need a family member or loved one to drive you home. To minimize swelling, keep your head elevated during the first 10 days. Most patients return to work after 10 to 14 days and can exercise after 1 month. Your results will continue to develop over the next several months and become increasingly noticeable over time.
If you’re visiting Little Rock to see Dr. Wright, our patient care team will help make your trip easy and enjoyable.
Like any surgery, a facelift will leave a scar. However, the lines are very fine and concealed in the hairline and natural creases of the face. Facelift scars are easily hidden and typically become unnoticeable. Dr. Wright is very careful during surgery and places your incisions in strategic locations.
