Facial Cosmetic Procedures

facial cosmetic procedures « home

Facial cosmetic surgery is designed to rejuvenate the face by lifting facial structures and removing excess skin or fat. Dr. Wilke performs facelifts, brow lifts (forehead lifts), and blepharoplasties (eyelid lifts) to obtain a natural, youthful, and refreshed appearance for his patients. He is well known for his attention to detail, and takes great care to obtain beautiful results while avoiding an unnatural or “operated-on” appearance.

Anesthesia

These procedures are typically performed as an outpatient in the on-site, fully accredited Edina Surgery Center. A light general anesthesia is often used for the larger procedures, in which case the patient sleeps through the entire procedure. For lesser procedures, local anesthesia with sedation is often used.

Recovery

Bruising and swelling is normal, and typically lasts for 1-2 weeks, although more prolonged bruising and swelling can occur. Pain is usually mild. Most people are essentially back to normal activities within 2-3 weeks.
