This gallery shows a face lift before and after photo from a CG Cosmetic patient in Miami who agreed to share it. The photos show the face from the front and side, so you can compare the face and neck before and after surgery. A single example cannot show the range of possible outcomes.
Face lift results appear gradually as swelling and bruising fade, which can take several weeks. Patients usually plan about two weeks away from work and avoid strenuous exercise for at least two weeks. Swelling, bruising, and some discomfort are expected. Results vary with skin, age, and healing. A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon decides candidacy.
