Patients considering facelifts often present to my office a little distressed about the whole subject.  They usually say “I don’t want to look unnatural or operated on; I just want to look as young as I feel.”

Patients typically have a number of reasons for not wanting to “look so old.”  Many patients have worked hard all of their lives and are now ready for retirement and travel and want to be very socially active.  These patients want to feel confident in their appearance and see a more youthful face that can be obtained through a facelift as simply an extension of good grooming.

Still some women voice the common question, “I wonder if I am being vain or selfish to consider a facelift?”  My answer to this question is “If you feel it would help your appearance and make you feel more confident, I am sure you have earned it!”  I feel most women I meet in my private office in Mansfield, Texas have been extremely self sacrificing for their spouses and children all of their lives and they have earned a facelift and much more!

The pleasant surprise is a facelift is not a difficult procedure to have performed.  Post operative discomfort is minimum with recovery and return to normal activity is relatively rapid.  Today’s facelift procedures are designed to deliver a much more natural, refreshed non-operated appearance.  I personally experience a tremendous amount of gratification in simply helping my patient’s just look as young as they feel.  Please visit Dr. Burkett’s website for more information or to schedule a consultation.
