Perfect Your Facelift Results With a Chemical Peel

November 26, 2014 by Dr. Schoenfeld

141126Facelift surgery can perform near-miracles when it comes to reversing the signs of aging on the lower face. Lines, wrinkles, loose skin, fat deposits, and more troubles can be diminished. Some patients will see that 10 years has simply vanished from their faces. Considering what a facelift can do, it’s hard to imagine that anything else might be needed to achieve your optimum results. A chemical peel can pick up where your facelift leaves off, working to improve skin tone and brighten your more youthful appearance.

What Is a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are specialized, formulated chemical solutions that will smooth the texture of your skin by removing the damaged layers of dead skin cells on top. This nonsurgical treatment method is simple in execution but very diverse in benefits, providing patients with a refreshed look afterwards. Common skin problems can be addressed by a chemical peel, such as:

  • Acne scars and active acne symptoms.
  • Discoloration, like age or liver spots.
  • Fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Freckles or sun spots.
  • Other sun damage.
  • Rough or dry skin.
  • Flaky or scaly patches of skin.
  • Scars from surgeries or injuries.

Chemical peels can certainly do much to improve the look of your skin, both on the face and hands. Be aware that chemical peels cannot help with deeper facial lines, loose or sagging skin, broken capillaries, overly large pores, or deep facial scars. Many of these issues, however, can be address by the facelift surgery, making these two procedures a perfect pairing.

What Is a Facelift?

While we’re on the subject of facelifts, it may be helpful to understand what this procedure can provide and why a chemical peel can be a good follow-up tool. Facelift surgery is ideal for men and women who want to improve the look of loose facial tissue and other related aging signs. For patients in their 30s and early 40s, a facelift is a good preventative measure to delay aging. Patients in their later 40s, 50s, or older can achieve a more youthful appearance. To be eligible for facelift surgery, you should be in good overall health, not smoke, and have a reasonable expectation for your results. Patients of all skin types and ethnicities can benefit safely from facelift surgery.

The procedure itself will raise the sagging tissues of the jowls, jawline, and neck. Both muscles and skin will be tightened to refresh your appearance. Facelift surgery will only rejuvenate your face, not change your actual features in any way. It also won’t help to brighten your dull skin tone, remove age spots, or erase fine lines from around your eyes, nose, and mouth. A facelift can do many things, but sometimes another surgery or nonsurgical treatment might be needed to give you the best results possible. Now that you’ve got a smoother, firmer jawline and lower face, it makes sense to improve your skin’s tone and texture with a chemical peel.

Nonsurgical Skincare for Your Post-Op Skin

There are many other skin treatments that can improve the youthful glow you’ve now achieved with a facelift surgery. Build onto your fantastic results with a nonsurgical treatment to shrink your pores, slough off dead skin cells, and erase acne damage once and for all. At Renu Med Spa and Plastic Surgery, you’ll find several ways to enhance the appearance of your skin after surgery, in addition to physician grade chemical peels, VI peel, and the Power Peel Facial.

Microdermabrasion is another option that provides powerful exfoliation that will brighten and smooth the skin. Add it to a Basic Microdermabrasion Facial to receive a cleansing, steaming, softening, extraction, and calming mask treatment all in one—the ultimate facelift follow-up. The Hydrating Microdermabrasion Facial is ideal for patients who need even more softening and hydration, as well as a shoulder and face massage plus a hand and foot treatment. Turn your skincare treatment into a full relaxation experience while also boosting the results of your recent surgery.

Before having any treatments performed, check in with your facial plastic surgeon to make sure you are healed enough to do so. Your incisions should be completely healed and your swelling should be nearly gone before you can safely participate in skincare treatments.

  • I met SEVERAL renowned plastic surgeons across multiples states before choosing the right one to perform my surgeries. After the first few minutes with Dr. Schoenfeld, it became very apparent to me that he was the person I'd entrust with my operations. He is the consummate approach, level of expertise, and experience provided me a tremendous amount of comfort, I knew that my expectations would surely be met. As it turns out, I not only made the right choice, but Dr. Schoenfeld was able to surpass my expectations, everything turned as he said it would and even better than I had hoped, Dr.…

  • I went to Dr. Schoendfeld to have a Septoplasty/Rhinoplasty and I couldn't be happier. He called to check up on me multiple times after my surgery to make sure I was doing good and I love the appearance of my new nose. He was able to make it fit my face and make it look as natural as possible while still fixing everything I wanted to be corrected, I am also able to sleep so much better at night since I can breathe out of my nose with ease.

  • Dr Schoenfeld is a fantastic doctor. He is respectful and makes an effort to get to know his patients. He is experienced and quite good at what he does. I had seen him for several years for Botox and fillers and was always happy with the results—very natural and never overdone. I had some jowls and neck rings developing, and these were beyond anything that injectables or good skin care could fix. I knew I could trust Dr. Schoenfeld to fix these problems and to deliver an aesthetically pleasing and natural looking result.

    I am a busy person with a career and many other obligations,…
