Toronto Facelift
A facelift truly takes years off your face. Facelift surgery tightens the skin over the cheeks and neck, and redefines the jawline. It results in the elimination of facial wrinkles, the repositioning of sagging skin and facial fat, and tightening of the skin. A facelift is often combined with a browlift and eyelid surgery for total facial rejuvenation.Dr. Jugenburg performs a minimally invasive facelift technique which he combines with neck liposuction and fat grafting to add volume to the face if necessary. The technique Dr. Jugenburg uses has the lowest risk of injury, least amount of surgical swelling and bruising, while effectively erasing years off your face. In less than 5 days you can be up and about as if you never had surgery.
All our facelift patients stay at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel overnight and are seen the following morning before being released to go home. We offer the Royal York Hotel to our facelift patients to allow for better and safer recovery, and making the following day's check more convenient. Having our staff visit you in your hotel room the following day is not only more convenient for you, but is also less straining on your system as compared to you having to drive back to the clinic for your check up.

Recovery After Facelift Surgery
After surgery you will have a tight bandage around your face. It is designed to apply pressure to the face to minimize the risk of bleeding, the most common complication after this surgery. You will be asked to avoid any activities that raise your blood pressure. Swelling and bruising will be most noticeable after the first day and will slowly subside after that. You should avoid any strenuous physical activity for two weeks. If you work in an office setting, you should be able to return to work after a few days.Who can benefit from a Facelift?
