Safelift Q & A

What is a Safelift?

A Safelift at Dr. Malouf Dermatology is a minimally invasive facelift that combines laser technology with a mini facelift. It minimizes recovery time and pain while lifting and tightening sagging skin on your face. Dr. Malouf has decades of experience doing safelifts that offer outstanding anti-aging results.

Dermatology include:

• Tighter lifted skin
• Reduced wrinkles and lines
• Improved overall appearance
• Younger-looking, revitalized skin
• Smoother facial contours
• Reduced laugh, smile, and frown lines
• Less skin sagging
• Reduced skin bunching
• Natural appearance
• Boost in self-confidence

Safelifts require only a local anesthetic with a mild sedative. During the procedure, your surgeon tightens connective tissue under the skin, which allows a Safelift to last longer than other mini facelifts.

Is a Safelift right for me?

To determine if a Safelift is right for you, your Dr. Malouf Dermatology provider discusses your medical history, symptoms, and aesthetic goals. They examine your skin before tailoring a highly effective treatment.

A Safelift can be a good choice if you have early signs of facial aging, desire a younger-looking appearance, and want to avoid an extensive recovery.

What happens during a Safelift?

Safelift procedures often last 2-3 hours. Your specialist sometimes combines them with other cosmetic treatments, like a brow lift or a necklift. They make tiny incisions, lift the skin, close the incisions, and take you to a recovery area.

What should I expect after a Safelift?

After a Safelift procedure, some swelling, bruising, and tenderness could persist for 1-2 weeks during the healing process. You might return to work a few days after the procedure but follow your specialist’s instructions. Get plenty of rest, avoid rubbing or tugging on your face, and steer clear of strenuous exercise and heavy lifting until given the OK.

Your provider lets you know when to return to the Dr. Malouf Dermatology office to have your stitches removed. When the swelling subsides, you can enjoy the final results of younger-looking, natural, beautiful skin.
