Before a facelift, a fair question to put to any practice is this: where do my follow-up visits happen, and who examines me at them? It matters because a facelift declares its result in stages: bandages off in the first days, stitches out around the end of the first week, the face looking normal by week four to six, and the deeper tissues settling into month six, with numbness of the face and ears that can linger for months. Along that arc, a hematoma, a numb or weak patch along a facial nerve, or one side staying fuller than the other are findings to be examined in person, and the surgeon who knows what was released and repositioned is best placed to tell ordinary healing from something that is not. Troell Cosmetic Surgery & Facial Plastic Clinic is a cosmetic and facial plastic surgery practice in Las Vegas, on South Fort Apache Road, with one surgeon. Dr. Robert J. Troell has practiced here for more than 20 years, has held a Nevada medical license since 2001, and sees his own facelift patients at every follow-up visit in the office where the surgery took place. Our guide to the facelift, with the week-by-week recovery, is on our website — tap Learn More to start there.
