comprehensive consultation with dr. holland
During a comprehensive consultation for a facelift, patients receive personalized attention and care from Dr. Holland and our team. The consultation begins with a thorough discussion of the patient's aesthetic concerns and goals related to facial aging. Dr. Holland evaluates the patient's facial anatomy, assessing issues such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and loss of volume. Dr. Holland explains the details of the facelift procedure, including the surgical techniques, anesthesia options, and expected outcomes. She discusses potential risks and benefits, as well as alternative treatment options such as non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures. Patients have the opportunity to ask questions and express any concerns they may have about the surgery or the recovery process.
*Please Note: Your first planning appointment is of utmost importance and you will ultimately achieve a much better outcome for your skin long-term with a proper skin analysis. For our providers to perform this analysis your skin needs to be clean of dirt, oils and makeup. Additionally, safety is Dr. Holland’s priority and removing makeup prior to in-office treatments aids us in providing you with safer, more efficient care. For your convenience, we have a face washing station available if you are unable to arrive with a clean face.
what to expect
Throughout the entire process of a facelift, patients receive personalized care tailored to their needs. Minimal facial procedures can be completed in our office under local anesthesia, providing convenience and comfort. However, more extensive procedures like a full facelift are performed at an accredited ambulatory center to ensure safety and optimal outcomes. Facelifts may be done as standalone procedures or combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures for comprehensive results. After the procedure, patients may experience temporary swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Dr. Holland provides detailed post-operative instructions to facilitate optimal healing. Over time, gradual improvements in facial contours and skin tightness occur. Regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Holland are scheduled to monitor progress and address any concerns. Dr. Holland is available 24/7 in case any issues arise, providing reassurance and guidance throughout the recovery process.
Please follow this list of medications and supplements to avoid prior to having your procedure.

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is used to improve the visible signs of aging in the face and neck. Sagging in the midface can create deep creases that make you appear tired and sad, especially around the lower eyelid and the area between the nose and mouth (nasolabial fold). Fat that has fallen or is displaced and loss of muscle tone in the lower face may create jowls, and loose skn and excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw can make even a person of normal weight appear to have a double chin. A facelift can correct all of these and restore a more youthful, rested appearance with uplifted contours and improved facial tone.
