23:19 Outro
He starts with some quick questions about how I was feeling after a week, such as my diet, activities, and pain. He gave me some pointers on how long I needed to wait before certain movements and exercise.
Jumping into the surgery, he covers the changes made during the neck and face lift. He was so thorough that he fixed some slight asymmetries. He explained how that’s solved. Dr. Marten explains the stage of healing I was at, with 8 days, the face is a little bottom heavy. He proceeded to show me a chart of how much fat they took , and explained how they take out slightly more than needed to extract high density fat with stem cells, which are better for rejuvenation, the extra fat stays out and is like a complimentary free mini liposuction. He even told me the exact amount that he put in each location, which was really eye opening. He went on to explain how with aging the fat migrates from under the skin to be under the muscles, and how they extract the deep fat and leave the outer fat to preserve the youthful look. Anesthesia was the next topic covered, where Dr. Timothy Marten explained general anesthesia, vs local anesthesia, and what kind of anesthesia was used for me and how it is done without needing hospital style anesthesia. He even explained some precautions that are made to keep the patient’s body warm and comfortable for quick and easy recovery without nausea. The end he teaches how to ease into exercise as I recover, and then looks at the scar which is tucked in the ear, which is longer to do, but also heals in a way less visible to people. Hair transplanting was also for after a lift, the hair line can be pulled back, and so the hairline may need to be fixed, typically 6-9 months afterward. Dr. Timothy Marten did not feel that I would need it, he fixed the hairline while doing the surgery to make it less needed. He explained the drains that were in the sides of my head, and how it helps suck things down, aren’t painful, and it removes fluid that can reduce swelling and bruising which speeds up the recovery process. He finishes off the conversation by explaining botox and fillers that can be used post surgery.
Some questions That you may want answered are, How much does a facelift cost?, how long does it take to recover from a facelift?, what age should you get a facelift, is a facelift worth it? And so much more. I will make sure to answer as many as I can.
