Keeping your expectations in check will help with how content you are with the procedure. Expecting unrealistic expectations will leave you disappointed with any surgery you choose to undergo.
Another important step in deciding on a plastic surgery procedure in Nashville is choosing the right plastic surgeon for you. A good plastic surgeon will make you feel like an integral part of your cosmetic experience. You will feel free to ask questions and clarify things you wish to understand further. Dr. Hatef has undergone plastic surgical procedures himself, so he brings the perspective of both a doctor and a patient. He has over a decade of experience pursuing the most effective procedures to provide his patients with the highest standard of care.
The first step of a facelift is your consultation. During your consultation, Dr. Hatef will go over what your aesthetic goals are as well as review your medical history. This will help make sure you are pursuing the best course of treatment to achieve your goals. Dr. Hatef will walk you through each step of your chosen procedure and explain what preparation you may want to complete before your surgery date.
When you arrive for surgery, you will be escorted into a comfortable room before you are placed under the effects of anesthesia. This will allow your surgeon to access the targeted regions of your face. Dr. Hatef will make the incisions in the pre-discussed locations. He will then adjust the underlying material, whether that be manipulation or moving the existing fat tissue, tightening the skin, or adjusting the underlying muscle structure.
The incisions and adjustments will depend on the type of facelift you have chosen to pursue. A traditional facelift places the incision at the hairline and adjusts the entire face. A limited incision facelift may be used if you have less skin relaxation to help you achieve some, but not all, of the rejuvenating benefits of a facelift. A neck lift is a facelift focused on the region of your jowls and neck if you only have concerns with the lower region of your face.
Once your surgery is complete, Dr. Hatef will close the incisions, and you will be moved to recovery. You will want to avoid strenuous activity for several weeks and give your body time to heal. You will be given instructions on how to best care for yourself as you recover.
Through is years in plastic surgery, Dr. Hatef has done many facelifts, and he is one of the pioneers of the use of the facial fat compartments for filler and fat injections. He spent 3 years in Dallas at UT Southwestern, spending all day in the operating room helping the masters of facelift surgery, and then at night he would dissect faces and use elaborate techniques to discern more information about facial anatomy.
Those 3 years were well-spent: They led to the uncovering of something completely new, highlighting the importance of the fat compartments, their fascial boundaries, and the contributions of these structures to facial appearance and aging. Dr. Hatef is proud of that work, and to have been in a very special place at a very special time, and to have published a lot of work on those discoveries. Dr. Hatef’s Nashville patients can now benefit from this advanced training and knowledge in facial rejuvenation.
You deserve to feel happy and confident with your appearance. Reach out and schedule a consultation with Dr. Hatef today to learn how you can benefit from a facelift in Nashville. Be proud of the way you look.
