Face LiftWrinkles, sagging skin, laxity in the jowls and neck begin to appear after years of exposure to the elements, facial expressions and the natural aging process.A facelift is a surgical procedure to repair sagging, drooping, and wrinkled skin of the face and neck. It is performed to improve visible signs of aging, poor diet, or heredity; Face lift can restore a younger look. It is performed by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping facial and neck skin. A facelift can be done alone or with nose reshaping, a forehead lift, or eyelid surgery.  The ProcedureA facelift procedure may be performed in your doctor's office or in an outpatient surgical facility. Premedication is generally recommended to relax the patient. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia with the patient asleep, but can be performed using a local anesthesia. Your surgeon will operate on one side of the face at a time. The incision is placed in the natural crease of the facial skin and begins inside the hairline, in the temple area above and forward of the ear. It continues inside the ear, or in front of the ear around the earlobe and behind the ear. The skin is lifted outward and the surgeon tightens and repositions the underlying muscles and tissues. Excess skin and fat may be removed. The incision is then closed with fine sutures and/or metal clips. If metal clips are used, shaving hair from the incision site may be avoided. A facelift can take between two to four hours depending on the extent of the procedure. A good candidate for a facelift: • has sagging skin in the face and neck • has skin that still has some elasticity • is in good health • is a non-smoker • maintains a stable weight (at least 6 months) • has a strong bone structure • has realistic expectations A Facelift Targets The Lower 2/3rds of the FaceIf you have been considering a facelift to reverse the signs of aging, you should understand what a facelift can and can't do. Although the incisions made for a facelift are hidden back in your hairline, it does nothing to correct the visible signs of aging in the upper face. A facelift provides an overall lift to the lower third of your face by tightening loose skin in the jowls, neck, and jaw line.. A facelift alone will not remove forehead wrinkles, crow's feet or bags under your eyes. These areas can, however, be treated at the same time as your facelift. A facelift can: 1. Turn back the clock 7 to 10 years 2. smooth the appearance of wrinkles 3. reduce the amount of loose skin or excess fatty tissue especially along the jaw line 4. tighten the muscles beneath the skin of the face and neck 5. remove jowls and sagging skin. A facelift cannot: • Change the texture of the skin or get rid of age spots, acne scars and fine lines. • Reduce bags, wrinkles, and excess skin underneath or above the eyes. • Address issues in the upper 1/3 rd of your face including your eyes and forehead. • Stop the aging process To get an idea of the results you might have, place your fingers on the center of your cheeks and press the skin up and back. Skin folds can be tightened and reduced, but not eliminated. If you softly pinch the skin in front of your ear, you'll see how much skin can be excised during the procedure. How Long Will The Results Last?Some relaxation of facial tissues will occur during the first few weeks. After that, the aging process continues. Your lifestyle choices, bone structure, skin type, sun exposure and heredity all play a role in determining how many years can be removed and for how long. In general younger patients enjoy longer-lasting results. If you are in your forties, the effects may last up to 10 years. If you are in your sixties, your results may last 5 to 7 years. Recovery after facelift surgeryPain Level: Moderate discomfort. 1-3 days of pain medication. Swelling and bruising:2 weeks or more Numbness: lasts several weeks Bandages: Changed in 1-2 days (drains and sutures removed first 2-5 days) Work: Return after 1-3 weeks Exercise: Wait 2-3 weeks Sun protection: Six months with SPF 15 or higher Final result: Seen 1-4 months following most facelifts To prevent complications it is important to: • Keep your head elevated as much as possible to reduce swelling • Apply ice packs to minimize swelling • Do not take aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications • Do not smoke or be exposed to secondary smoke during recovery • Avoid exposure to direct sunlight • Use a sunblock (minimum 15 SPF) to protect your skin Facelift surgery (Before & After)
