Dr Colgrove took 10 years off my appearance with a seamless facelift. His attention to detail was very impressive. I had a previous botched surgery from 2009 with another surgeon, who caused a hematoma. Dr Colgrove corrected the problem and very little scars visible. I completely healed within 3 weeks and I was so impressed with my results. His staff is amazing and days after surgery he called to check up on. Definitely 5 stars experience

J.R.

Dr. Colgrove and staff are AMAZING! They make you feel at ease and a top priority from day 1. I was nervous about getting work done on my face because it's out there, nothing to hide under. I had several consultations from other surgeons and all " pushed me" to do more extensive work than I felt comfortable with. Dr. Colgrove simply said, do what you feel comfortable with, you can always do more later if you so choose. His prices are very affordable. He did an outstanding job and made me look very natural, but very much more youthful. NO STRETCHED, PULLED LOOK! Yay for me! If you are looking for a fantastic plastic surgeon, then Dr. Colgrove is the one to go see! I'll never go to anyone else! I'm from Chattanooga Tennessee, and he's well worth the drive! #1 in my book. I couldn't be happier! Thank you, Dr. Colgrove!

Your facelift experience

Consultation

Your facelift journey begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Colgrove. During this meeting, Dr. Colgrove will listen to your concerns, evaluate your facial structure, and discuss your aesthetic goals. He will explain the procedure in detail, answer any questions you may have, and create a personalized surgical plan tailored to achieve the results you desire.

Surgery

On the day of your facelift, you will be in the skilled hands of Dr. Colgrove, who will perform the surgery in our AAAASF-accredited outpatient surgery center. The procedure typically involves making discreet incisions around the hairline and ears, tightening the underlying muscles, removing unwanted fat, adding volume if necessary, and removing excess skin. The surface of the skin can also be treated in the same operative session. Dr. Colgrove’s precise techniques ensure minimal scarring.

Recovery

After your facelift, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which are common side effects and should subside within a few weeks. Dr. Colgrove will provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Most patients can return to their normal activities within 2-3 weeks, but it may take a few months for swelling to fully resolve.

Results

The results of your facelift will gradually become apparent as the swelling subsides. You’ll notice a more youthful, refreshed appearance that looks natural and enhances your facial features. The full impact of your facelift will be evident within 3-6 months, providing you with long-lasting rejuvenation that can boost your confidence and overall sense of well-being.

Facelift FAQs

How long does a facelift last?

The results of a facelift can last anywhere from 7 to 10 years, depending on factors like your skin type, age, lifestyle, and the surgical techniques used. While the aging process continues, most patients enjoy long-lasting rejuvenation and may choose to undergo minor touch-ups or additional procedures in the future to maintain their results.

Is a facelift only for older patients?

Facelifts are most commonly associated with individuals in their 40s to 60s, but they can be beneficial for younger patients as well. Early signs of aging, such as sagging skin or deep wrinkles, can be effectively addressed with a mini facelift. The decision to undergo a facelift is based on individual needs and goals rather than age alone.

Will there be visible scars after a facelift?

Dr. Colgrove uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring. Incisions are strategically placed in natural creases and behind the ears, making them difficult to detect once healed. With proper care, scars typically fade over time and become less noticeable.
