Facelifts are a proven and comprehensive approach to fight wrinkles, sagging skin and other signs of aging. These surgeries can vary from those that are minimally invasive to more complex procedures. Typically, facelifts are designed to remove extra unwanted skin, tighten muscle and tissue and revitalize skin on your face and neck. Facelifts can help with:

  • Facial sagging
  • Jowls
  • Facial sagging
  • Jowls

For generations, men and women have undergone facelifts to look younger, feel better and improve their confidence and self-esteem. Improved medical techniques over the years means patients who undergo facelifts will look younger, but won’t acquire the frozen or unnatural look that past procedures produced.

IS IT TIME FOR A FACELIFT?

At PryorHealth Plastic Surgery, our team will meet with you to review your medical history as well as your aesthetic goals. Often, facelifts are the answer you’ve been looking for. But some patients may come to realize they would benefit more from another procedure. At PryorHealth, we’ll help you select the procedure that best fits your needs and goals.

You may be ready for a facelift at PryorHealth Plastic Surgery if:

  • Your face does not accurately reflect the young-at-heart spirit you carry inside.
  • Your face is showing signs of aging, but you still have skin elasticity.
  • Your aging appearance is hurting your personal life or career.
  • You want to look as good on the outside as you feel on the inside.

Some Benefits of Facelifts Include

  • Improving several facial areas in one surgery.
  • Results: Facelifts can last a decade or longer and shave 10 to 15 years off your appearance.
  • Creating a younger look for trouble spots that show your age, including your jawline and neck.

TYPICAL ISSUES FACELIFTS CAN RESOLVE

  • Double chins.
  • Saggy or creased neck skin.
  • Severe creases that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth. These are known as nasolabial folds.
  • Sagging and a decrease in the muscle tone of the lower face, leaving a jowly look.
  • Facial fat that falls or sags.
  • Sagging skin in the middle of the face, or along the jawline.
  • Lines that run the corner of the mouth to the chin. These are often called marionette lines.

We find that our best Rockford facelift candidates are in good overall health and have a good attitude about cosmetic surgery and what it can, and can’t, achieve. Remember, facelifts are not a cure-all for aging. But they can drastically improve your appearance and help your self-esteem blossom. After surgery, you can expect the skin on your neck and face to be firmer, smoother and fresh looking. Recovery time from facelift surgery varies from patient to patient depending on their condition coming in and the type of surgery they have.

Our team will review your procedure with you from preparation all the way through to recovery. And feel free to contact us at any time with questions and concerns. If you want your face to appear years younger and show the world the youthful spirit that lives inside you, contact us today. At Pryor Plastic Surgery we strive to deliver the best facelifts Rockford has to offer, so let us help you start your journey to a more youthful and vital look!

THE BENEFITS

Increased confidence

A slim and youthful appearance

Minimal post-surgical scarring

Natural results

The Procedure

The neck lift is done under general anesthesia and will last between two and three hours. To begin, one of our expert Rockford neck lift plastic surgeons will create small incisions behind the ears and beneath the chin.

Through those discreet openings, they will remove excess fat, tighten lax muscles, and remove a small portion of the platysma muscle. In some cases, they will also perform an ultra-precise liposuction procedure to remove unwanted fat and contour the area. Once the underlying structures have been reshaped, the surgeon will drape your skin over your new contours, trim away any excess tissue, and carefully close the incisions with sutures.

The Results

After a neck lift Rockford patients' new, streamlined neck will emerge gradually. In general, you can expect your optimal results to become apparent within six months. Thanks to our careful placement of the incisions, you should have very few post-surgical scars.

The results of a neck lift are very long-lasting. Although every patient is unique, most of our clients enjoy their new contours for up to ten years.

The Recovery

Most of our patients need to take between one and two weeks off from work following their neck lift. The first few days will be spent almost entirely in bed. During the initial recovery period, we recommend having a friend or family member stay with you to help out around the house.

Here are a few things to keep in mind as you heal:

  • Wear loose-fitting clothes to avoid irritating the neck area
  • Avoid strenuous activity, exercise and heavy lifting for a few weeks
  • Take your pain medication as prescribed to keep discomfort at bay
  • Bruising and swelling will dissipate within a couple of weeks

At PryorHealth Plastic Surgery in Rockford, IL, our goal is to create the beautiful nose nature should have given you. We will shorten, widen, lengthen, straighten and sculpt your nose until it fits in with the rest of your features and looks at home on your face.

A rhinoplasty procedure with our skilled surgeons can refine a large, crooked, bumpy or misshapen nasal structure – sculpting a brand new nose you can’t wait to show off.

After Surgery

How to handle the recovery

The recovery period associated with a rhinoplasty is approximately seven to ten days. We recommend arranging to have a friend or family member stay with you to help with tasks around the house and minimize your discomfort. As you heal, headaches, swelling, bruising, discomfort and nosebleeds are common. During this time, it’s important to:

  • Get plenty of rest
  • Avoid blowing your nose for 48 hours
  • Apply cold compresses to keep swelling at bay
  • Avoid exercise and strenuous activity for a full two weeks
  • Drink plenty of fluids

We will ask you to return to our Rockford, IL office one week after surgery so that your surgeon can check on your progress. During this visit, they will also remove the splint, stitches and nasal packing. Most of our Rockford rhinoplasty patients are able to return to work and their normal daily routine after this appointment.

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a transformative procedure that you have to see to believe. Please take a moment to view our beautiful before and after gallery to explore the possibilities.

Commonly known as blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery is done to rejuvenate aging eyes – and turn back the hands of time.

THE PROCEDURE

What To Expect During a blepharoplasty

Your Rockford blepharoplasty procedure at PryorHealth is done under general anesthesia, so you will be asleep throughout the entire experience. During surgery, the surgeon will address the upper and/or lower eyelids, depending on where your signs of aging are most prevalent.

Upper

During upper eyelid surgery, the surgeon will remove excess skin and minimize droopy eyelids – restoring a refreshed and well-rested expression.

To perform this surgery, they will create small incisions in the creases of your upper eyelids. Through those openings, they will remove excess skin and lift the remaining tissue to restore a subtly alert look.

Lower

Lower eyelid surgery focuses on removing fatty deposits beneath the eyes, plumping hollow areas, and restoring a smooth and youthful contour.

To perform this surgery, the surgeon will make a small incision hidden within the natural creases beneath your lower lash line. Through that tiny opening, they will remove excess fat and skin, while tightening lax muscles.

Blepharoplasty Results

A Brand New You

With our surgeon's skillful eyelid surgery Rockford patients have received restored, youthful, well-rested looking eyes that positively transform their appearance. And for many of our patients, the results of their blepharoplasty lasts for years.

Though some scarring is inevitable, our skilled surgeon takes great care to place these marks so that they are concealed within the natural creases of your eyes. Thus, they are virtually undetectable once you have healed.

AFTER
EYELID SURGERY

How to handle the recovery

There is a substantial recovery period associated with blepharoplasty. After the procedure, your eyes will be red and swollen, and you may experience excessive tearing, dryness and blurred vision. All of these effects are temporary and will disappear as you heal. Although we will review these details during your pre-operative appointments, here is a quick look at the recovery guidelines for eyelid surgery:

  • For several days, avoid any activities that may strain the eyes, such as reading, using a computer, or watching TV.
  • For one month, avoid any activities that may increase blood flow to the eyes, such as crying, exercising, and heavy lifting.
  • Wear dark sunglasses to protect your eyes.
  • Nap frequently to prevent eye strain.
  • Keep your head elevated.

You will need to return to the office one week after your procedure so that your surgeon can evaluate your progress, assess your scarring, and remove your stitches. After about ten days of recovery from blepharoplasty Rockford patients typically felt well enough to resume their normal daily activities.

When someone has well-defined facial angles, it is often a face that attracts, and is remembered. When you don’t naturally possess these features, however, it can leave your face out of balance and lacking the facial harmony that is universally recognized as attractive.

At PryorHealth, we are proud to offer our patients in Rockford facial implants to create facial balance and the striking features you crave.

WHAT IS A FACIAL IMPLANT?

A facial implant is a device placed under the skin to enhance features, remedying skeletal deficiencies, and creating a more aesthetically-pleasing appearance. Facial implants are made of materials that will not harm the body including silicone, Gortex, and Teflon. In addition to correcting skeletal imbalances, facial implants can be used to combat the signs of aging filling in areas that have hollowed or sunken.

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF FACIAL IMPLANTS?

Facial implants are used to create facial harmony and produce sculpted features. Facial implants may be used to create facial balance in the:

  • Chin
  • Cheek

Children can be the greatest victims, falling prey to bullies who tease about the size of their ears. Fortunately, children with abnormalities of the ear can have surgery as early as the age of five, when the ears reach their full size.

Our surgeons have vast experience in ear surgery and can guide you through the process for correcting ear appearance or abnormalities.

WHAT IS OTOPLASTY?

Otoplasty, also referred to as ear surgery or ear pinning, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to change the shape, size, or position of the ears. Otoplasty may be performed at any time once a child’s ears have reached full maturity, usually at the age of five. At PryorHealth in Rockford Otoplasty is an option if you feel that your ears protrude too far from your head, or if your ears are misshapen due to trauma or a birth defect.

WHY IS OTOPLASTY PERFORMED?

Prominent ears are often the result of a malformation of the cartilage of the ear and are very frequently passed down from parent to child.

In a normal ear, the cartilage of the upper ear folds in a manner that allows it to rest neatly against the side of the head. Prominent ears may be missing this fold, causing the cartilage to protrude at an extreme angle from the head.
