Face Lift
Best Face Lift Plastic Surgeon Near Me in Greater Milwaukee
A face lift is a rejuvenating, age-defying procedure that removes excess skin from the cheeks, jawline and neck. Over time, the cheek skin naturally falls at a downward angle toward the mouth, accentuating “smile lines.”
If this continues, jowls may form as pouches of loose skin at the jawline on either side of the chin. At the same time, sagging neck skin is beginning to develop.
Dr. Kramer, the top plastic surgeon in Milwaukee, has years of experience performing extremely natural-looking and beautifully complimenting face lifts for Pewaukee, Sussex, Brookfield and other cities throughout the Milwaukee and Waukesha areas in Wauwatosa.
Face Lift Facts
A face lift is for looseness in both the cheek and neck and also restores a smooth jawline. The face usually ages faster than the neck, but a face lift will correct the neck bands along with lifting the cheek and sagging face skin.
Neck bands are weak sagging muscles and look like ridges of loose skin. Whether it’s a skin, muscle problem or both, Dr. Kramer easily corrects it in the face lift procedure in the Brookfield area.
If there are fat pads present or jowls, they can easily be treated by liposuction. Dr. Kramer is Wisconsin’s face and liposuction specialist and is an expert at smoothing and blending jowl definition. She will often will treat this at the same time as a face lift, the skin is then tightened, creating a significantly smoother jawline.

Candidates for a Face Lift
There is no age limit to having a face lift. The need for a face lift is determined by your physical exam with Dr. Kramer. If there is loose skin in the cheek and neck region, then you could definitely improve your appearance with a face lift.
If you are a smoker, you can have a face lift but must temporarily stop smoking 2 weeks before and 3 to 4 weeks after surgery. The reason is nicotine constricts or “clamps down” blood vessels and restricts blood flow needed for healing. After this healing phase you can resume smoking.
Face Lift Recovery
The “hideout” time for a face lift is between 10 and 14 days. After healing no one will know you had a face lift procedure.
You will go home a few hours after having a face lift. Dr. Kramer’s patients from Chicago or other distant cities usually spend the night in a hotel. They are then checked in the morning before heading home. There is minimal discomfort, and it is easily managed with pain medication.
