You’ll come in for a preoperative appointment about 2 weeks before your surgery.

Pre-Care Instructions
Preparing your home for your recovery post-surgery is essential. Keep your head elevated with pillows and cushions. Schedule time off from work as needed.
Drink plenty of water before your surgery. Staying hydrated is crucial for recovery. Maintaining a nutrient-rich diet will also promote healing.
Post-Care Instructions
Arrange transportation on the day of your surgery and the next day for your follow-up visit. Our numbing medication will wear off after 3 days. Contact Dr. Hunsicker if you experience bleeding, nausea, or vomiting.
Avoid putting strain on your body. Do not lift, push, or pull anything that exceeds 10 lbs for 6 weeks. Do not take blood thinners.
Give yourself plenty of time to rest and recover. Keep your incisions dry and clean. Limit sun exposure for at least 6 weeks post-surgery.
Also known as a short-scar facelift, a mini facelift is a rejuvenation procedure that focuses on the jawline. As the scar is limited, so too are the results. However, this can be an excellent option for patients who are happy with their upper face, do not have prominent neck bands, and want a shorter recovery period.
We can perform the following procedures concurrently:
- Neck lift
- Eyelid surgery
- Brow lift
A facelift is an effective procedure that achieves many cosmetic goals, but it cannot benefit everyone. We may recommend an alternative solution for patients with:
- Unrealistic expectations
- Medical conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease)
- Unhealthy lifestyle (smoking)
