Gravity never rests. Over time, skin loosens and soft tissue slips downward. With our office located nearby, getting a facelift in New Braunfels is one of the most effective ways to smooth your cheeks and redefine your jawline—so your reflection matches your energy. Many patients start by exploring general facial rejuvenation options and then discover that our approach combines artistic vision, engineering precision, and authentic care.
During your consultation, our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Suresh Koneru, reviews high-resolution images, listens closely to your goals, and designs subtle refinements that honor your natural features. You leave with a clear understanding of the timeline, investment, and expected results of your facial plastic surgery—without any pressure or generic promises.
As bone volume diminishes along the jaw, thinning collagen and weakened ligaments allow fat pads to descend and folds to deepen. A New Braunfels facelift repositions the SMAS layer—the supportive fascia beneath the skin—so tension distributes beneath the surface rather than pulling across it. By tightening foundational tissue, we achieve results that often last a decade or more, with early sun protection and balanced nutrition helping to refine and sustain your outcome.
Dr. Koneru performs every New Braunfels facelift using his signature Fast Recovery After Plastic Surgery (FRAPS) pathway. This approach aims for shorter downtime, minimal medication, and a quicker return to daily life. Rather than relying on drains, heavy narcotics, or extended bed rest, we apply a series of small, science-backed steps that keep your body comfortable and mobile. We combine gentle anesthesia, long-acting local numbing, and proven anti-nausea medication with precise SMAS lifting techniques to reduce bruising and swelling. Most patients shower the morning after their facelift, managing discomfort with over-the-counter pain relievers, and resume virtual meetings within days. Because we schedule only one facelift per surgical day, you receive focused, unhurried care. Our nurse line remains open 24 hours to answer any questions that arise during recovery.
Two weeks before your SMAS facial rejuvenation New Braunfels procedure, pause any blood-thinning supplements and review your medications with our anesthesiology team. On surgery day, we administer monitored sedation and apply a soft wrap that stays in place for 48 hours. Most bruising fades by day 10, and many patients return to desk work within a week. However, avoid heavy lifting and contact sports for at least six weeks.
Expect your final contours to emerge around the three-month mark. The results of your facelift typically last seven to 10 years, sometimes longer—depending on factors such as stable weight, skin quality, genetics, lifestyle habits, and the scope of the procedure.
Choosing a face and neck lift in New Braunfels is a personal decision, and understanding your candidacy helps set realistic expectations. You might recognize the right time when skin laxity limits your clothing choices or friends comment that you look tired—even after a full night’s sleep. Dr. Koneru evaluates your medical history, lifestyle, and skin quality to determine whether surgery or a nonsurgical option best aligns with your goals.
You are likely an excellent candidate if you:
We often pair lifting procedures with targeted skin care or fat transfer to create balanced, harmonious outcomes. Thoughtful planning now leads to smoother recovery later—and that peace of mind is invaluable. After surgery, we provide dedicated follow-ups and personalized instructions to guide your healing and support you at every step.
