FACELIFT IN TIJUANA
A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy or facelift, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to reduce the visible signs of aging in the face and neck. Over time, factors such as sun exposure, gravity, and stress can lead to wrinkles, sagging skin, and loss of facial definition. A facelift addresses these concerns by tightening underlying tissues, repositioning the skin, and removing excess skin.
At Bellezza Surgery Tijuana, this procedure is performed by certified surgeons, using minimally invasive techniques that offer natural results, with faster recovery and less downtime.

Procedure: How is a Facelift Performed?
The procedure begins with a detailed consultation to assess your needs and expectations. During the surgery, the surgeon makes strategic incisions, usually hidden around the ears or within the hairline.
The underlying muscles and tissues are lifted and tightened. Excess skin is removed to create a firm, smooth appearance.
In some cases, it is combined with other procedures such as blepharoplasty or chin liposuction to enhance the results.
The surgery can last between 2 and 5 hours, depending on the complexity of the case.
Recovery After a Facelift
Recovery is a crucial stage to ensure optimal results. Although recovery time can vary between patients, here is a general guide:
First Few Days
It is normal to experience swelling, bruising, and some discomfort in the treated areas. The surgeon will provide pain medication to relieve discomfort.
First Week
Most patients can resume light activities after 7 to 10 days, but should avoid strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure.
Final Results
Full results are usually visible 2 to 3 months after surgery, once the swelling has completely subsided.
Tip: Following your surgeon's recommendations, such as using cold compresses and specific creams, is essential to speed up recovery and minimize complications.
