facelift

A facelift surgically improves visible signs of aging in the face and neck. The loss of youthful contours can happen for a variety of reasons such as the natural aging process, weight loss, gravity, sun damage, smoking, and heredity and stress.

What a facelift can't do:
A facelift is a restorative surgery, it will not change your fundamental appearance and does not stop the aging process. A facelift can only be performed surgically. Minimally invasive techniques do exist, but they can never achieve the same results. These type of techniques may prolong the need for a facelift, but they do not replace the results.

What is the recovery timeline for a facelift?
Following your facelift you will have a bandage placed around your face to minimize swelling and bruising. Small drains may be necessary to draw off excess fluids. 

You will be provided specific instructions on how to care for your surgical site, if you have any questions my office is available to answer!

Most patients can expect small scars near their ears and/or in their hairline that become less visible over time. Most of my patients feel comfortable in public within 10-14 days post-op and will feel "back to normal" within 2-3 months. 

As swelling and bruising subside, the visible results will begin to appear. Our goal, as your surgeon in St. George, is a more youthful and rested appearance as well as increased confidence.

"As a physician myself, the decision to undergo a facelift was a big one however who my surgeon was going to be was very important to me. After doing my research, I found Dr. Shashikant.

Dr. Shashikant did a wonderful job, even my kids say I look ten years younger! I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Dr. Shashikant for this procedure."

Got a much needed mommy makeover. Dr. Peterson worked with me to reach a goal weight so the surgery would be safe and get the results I wanted. I’m am all healed and feeling great! Dr. Peterson called me himself after surgery to see how I was feeling and make sure I was comfortable. That was the most touching moment. WOW!

Dr. Peterson was recommended by a friend and I would recommend him to everyone!

"Dr. Shashikant did my breast augmentation in November 2024. This is a surgery I’ve wanted for YEARS, especially after losing 70 pounds. My surgery was awesome, my recovery was minimal, and my confidence has grown exponentially.

10/10 would recommend working with Dr. Shashikant as your cosmetic surgeon!"
