Facelift Surgery

apollo-logo

Aging of the face is inevitable. With the passage of time, human skin begins to loosen on the face and on the neck. Crow's feet appear at the corners of the eyes. Fine forehead lines become creases and then, gradually, deeper into folds. As the aging population grows, it is obvious why rhytidectomy has become the third most desired facial plastic surgical procedure. A Successful Facelift Surgery can make you look young just like the one you wanted.

What is a Facelift Surgery?

Face lift surgery is a surgical procedure designed to smooth the loose skin on the facial skin, jowls, and neck in both the men and women. A facelift technically known as rhytidectomy can't stop the aging process. But it can do is improving the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck. A facelift can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.

Who goes for a facelift?

Persons with the following features go for a facelift:

1. Persons with deep lines or foldsrunning from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth
2. People with loss of a well-defined jawline
3. Ones with deep wrinkles in the cheeks
4. Persons with loose skin, wrinkles, and excess fat in the neck.

In this procedure, underlying tissues are tightened, excess fat is removed, and the skin is gracefully re-draped for a natural and more youthful appearance.

The surgery in detail:

The surgeon begins the incision in the area of the temple hair, just above and in front of the ear, and then continues around the lobe, circling the ear before returning to the point of origin in the scalp. The skin is raised outward before the surgeon repositions and tightens the underlying muscle and connective tissue. Some fat may be removed, as well as excess skin. For men, the incision is aligned to accommodate the natural beard lines. In all cases, the incision is placed where it will fall in a natural crease of the skin for camouflage.

After trimming the excess skin, the surgeon closes the incisions with fine sutures and/or metal clips, which permit surgery without shaving hair from the incision site. Depending on the extent of the surgery, the process can take from two to four hours. When the procedure is performed with a combination of mild sedatives, local anesthesia, and a mild intravenous anesthesia, the patient will experience little discomfort. Some surgeons prefer to use general anesthesia for facelifts. Following the surgery, the surgeon will apply a dressing to protect the entire area where the incisions have been made.

Alternative treatment to a facelift:

Other treatments may be used either as alternatives, or in combination with a facelift. Some of the options available include those listed below.

  #   Resurfacing techniques
  #   Laser facial resurfacing
  #   Tissue augmentation
  #   Anti-wrinkle injections
  #   Many creams, gels and beauty treatments can be applied

Recovering from a facelift:

Generally the pain after a facelift is mild but once home, further painkillers may be taken if needed, as advised by your hospital. Applying a cold compress, such as ice or a bag of frozen peas can help to reduce the swelling and bruising. You should not apply ice directly to your skin as it can give you an 'ice burn'.

There are some important things to remember while recovering from a facelift:

  #   keep your head elevated for a couple of days to reduce swelling
  #   avoid bending or straining
  #   avoid saunas and massage for at least two weeks
  #   avoid the sun for a few weeks
  #   Vigorous activity should be avoided for four or five weeks.
