Facelift in Nashville, TN

The face changes with age. Thanks to sun exposure, gravity, genetics, and the passing of time, fine lines become wrinkles and eventually deeper folds. The jawline softens into jowls, and the skin beneath the chin begins to sag. However, getting a facelift in Nashville with Dr. Moran can address this and give you the youthful face you once had.

What You Need to Know About Facelifts

A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the face. It involves tightening and repositioning the facial skin and underlying tissues to reduce sagging, wrinkles, and signs of aging. By restoring a more youthful contour to the face, a facelift can help individuals achieve a refreshed and revitalized appearance.

Is a Facelift the Right Choice for You?

Facelift surgery is best performed on adult men and women who feel that their outward facial aging no longer reflects their personal view of themselves. Typically, cosmetic facial surgery affords greater self-confidence and self-esteem. To be considered a candidate for a facelift in Nashville with Dr. Moran, you should:

Be a non-smoker and in good general health
Have a positive outlook and specific but realistic goals for the improvement of your appearance
Possess some skin elasticity so your soft tissues can drape successfully over your new facial contours

It’s important to note that, as a restorative surgery, facelift procedures cannot change your fundamental appearance or completely stop the aging process. You will continue to age naturally, but aging will progress from the more youthful version of yourself that the facelift has restored.

Why Choose Dr. Mary Lynn Moran for your Facelift?

Choosing to have Nashville facelift surgery with Dr. Moran is a personal decision that hinges on your goals. If you elect to have the surgery, be sure you’re doing it for yourself – not to fulfill someone else’s desires or to fit into an “ideal” image.

"I have been a patient of Dr. Moran’s for many years. I was referred by a friend who was happy with the results of her facelift.

"I have never felt pressured to have treatments that I was not interested in… Recently a high school friend said I looked the best I ever have, and in all honesty, I thinks she’s right."

Where is rhytidectomy surgery performed?

rhytidectomy surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis or with an overnight stay for observation at a fully accredited outpatient surgery center in the Nashville and Franklin, TN area.

At what age should I consider a facelift?

There isn’t a single “perfect” age for a facelift, it depends on your skin quality, facial structure, and the signs of aging you want to address. Many patients start considering facelifts in their late 40s to 60s when sagging, jowls, or loss of jawline definition become noticeable.

What kind of anesthesia is used?

Although many patients are put to sleep using general anesthesia, a facelift does not always require this option. It depends on the amount of facial tissue to be treated and the anticipated length of the surgery. We can provide an individualized answer to this question during your private consultation.

What can I expect during the facelift recovery period?

The majority of our Franklin, TN patients recover well enough to return to work and most normal activities, including moderate exercise, in about two weeks.

What are the alternatives to a facelift?

Double Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon and facelift expert, Dr. Moran, will assess your signs of aging and create a customized treatment plan to help you look and feel your best. In some cases, this will require only a facelift. In others, you may need an additional procedure to achieve your aesthetic goals, such as:

Mini facelift: This procedure can rejuvenate a small portion of the face, along the chin and neck.
Eyelid Surgery: This approach is specifically designed to address drooping tissue above the eyes.
Brow lift: If the skin above your brows is showing the telltale signs of aging, this surgery can tighten and lift the area.
Neck lift: If you have excessive loose skin below the jawline, a neck lift may be necessary to restore your youthful contours.

Other Facial Rejuvenation Options

If you are considering facial rejuvenation but are not sure if a full facelift procedure is right for your needs, consider these alternative, less invasive options:

Mini Facelift: A less extensive version of the traditional facelift, the mini facelift targets early signs of aging by lifting and tightening specific facial areas, often requiring a shorter recovery time.
Liquid Facelift: These procedures may include BOTOX injections and dermal fillers to plump and re-contour your face. In addition, Dr. Moran often combines other non-surgical techniques with her facelift procedures to enhance the surgical results.
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): Designed to refresh the appearance of the eyes, eyelid surgery can address sagging skin, puffiness, or under-eye bags for a more rested, alert look.
Neck Lift: This procedure focuses on tightening loose skin, reducing excess fat, and improving definition beneath the chin and along the jawline, creating a smoother, more youthful neck contour.
