Facelift in Birmingham, AL

A facelift is a common procedure performed to help an individual regain their youthful appearance. This procedure concentrates on distinct areas of the face to reduce drooping facial tissue and wrinkles for a rejuvenated, taut appearance. At Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery, we perform facelifts for a wide variety of concerns, targeting the areas around the eyes, the mid-face and cheeks, and the bottom area of the face (including the mouth, jowls, and neck), depending on our patients' needs. To learn how we create a customized facelift plan for each patient, contact our office in Birmingham, AL.

We offer a variety of facelift options at Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery to accommodate a range of aesthetic concerns. Depending on the current skin condition and desired results, we will choose the best technique. Possible methods include: 

Traditional facelift: An incision will be made at the hairline of the temples and continue around the ear, ending around the lower scalp. Fat will be redistributed around the face, jowls, and neck, and the skin will be lifted and redraped. Any excess skin will be trimmed away. Another incision may be made, and the process may be duplicated around the neck.

Limited incision facelift: A shorter incision is used with this approach, extending from the temple to around the ear. Sometimes considered a "mini-facelift," this technique is typically reserved for individuals who have less sagging skin.

Endoscopic subperiosteal facelift: This is an endoscopic procedure that is less invasive and rejuvenates the mid-face, checks, and below the eyes. Small incisions are placed around the mouth and temple.

The facelift is a popular treatment option because it offers a customizable solution for several facial concerns, leaving patients looking younger and more refreshed. Some benefits of facelift surgery at Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery include:

  • Refining the facial profile
  • Refilling lost volume in the mid-face and beneath the eyes
  • Scarring is minimal and often discreet
  • Combating various signs of aging
  • Diminishing the visibility of furrows and wrinkles near the eyes and mouth
  • Efficiently improving moderate to severe furrows and folds
  • Tightening loose, hanging skin
  • Reducing loose jowls and double chins
  • Results are long-lasting

I have had several different procedures performed by Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery from face and neck peels, Mohs surgery with skin graft, to facials, massages, hair, manicures, pedicures, skin care line and have been very pleased with everything they do. The staff is very professional and personable. So glad they were recommended to me. See you soon, Traci!

I am 67 years old and finally saved up the money to have a chin/jaw lift. Dr. Hedden performed the surgery and did a very natural looking job on my face. I have had many compliments on my "youthful" face from people who did not know that I had the surgery. My experiences with the clinic have been very positive. All the nurses and personnel have been very professional. Dr. Hedden even gave me several chemical peels as complimentary procedures to give me some "pampering for myself" as he called it! Honey is wonderful with her clients and these helped improve the collagen in my skin. I would highly recommend Hedden Plastic Surgical Center for being a new, beautiful building with a caring atmosphere.

I have been overweight all my life. I was 49 years old, weighed 289 lbs, and extremely depressed. My feet, legs, hips and especially my back hurt. I wore a size 22/24 and my feet swelled so that I could only wear one pair of dress shoes comfortably and without embarassment. I considered gastric bypass surgery for a couple of years and had just witnessed one of my best friends go through it with great success. I made the decision to have the bypass surgery, lost 150 lbs and felt great. I was wearing a size 6-8 and looked pretty good in clothes. I was very happy but the weight loss left my 50 year old body with a lot of excess skin. My breasts, which had previously been a 42 DDD, had become what my fiancé termed as "36 LONGS." I had nothing left but empty skin sacks. My abdomen also hung with loose skin. My legs were extremely horrible with a lot of loose skin and my arms had "bat-wings." I made an appointment with Dr. Hedden to talk about having four procedures. He gave me the prices for tummy tuck, breast lift, leg lift and arm lift. My legs were what bothered me most and I called to schedule that procedure first. I'd had large breasts all my life and having just the breast lift would have left me with a full B/loose C cup. After talking with Dr. Hedden, I decided to go up one cup size. That is a decision I do not regret. I had the tummy tuck and breast lift with augmentation done in his office. The staff was wonderful and very professional. I was given a prescription for pain killers and muscle relaxers. My first night was spent in a hotel room so that I could be close to Dr. Hedden's office in case of an emergency. My fiancé stayed with me, helped me to the restroom and cared for me. I had mild discomfort but it was nothing like what had been described by other people who "knew someone who had had the surgery and couldn't move for 6 weeks." I did just what the doctor ordered and had very little discomfort even having both procedures at once. The staff at Dr. Hedden's office marveled at my recovery time. I am now a happy 36D with a very flat tummy. I love my new body and have been able to shop at Victoria's Secret for more than just the lotions! I will be going back for the other two procedures (legs and arms). Maybe after that I will have a facelift … after all I am 51 years old now! I would highly and happily recommend Dr. William J. Hedden and his staff to anyone who is considering cosmetic surgery.
