FACE LIFT
FACE LIFT
Face lift, also known as rhytidectomy, is an aesthetic surgical
procedure performed to address sagging, wrinkles, and signs of aging in the
facial area. This operation typically aims to eliminate sagging in the face,
jawline, neck, and around the eyes. During the procedure, the facial skin is
lifted, underlying tissues are tightened, and if necessary, fat tissue is
repositioned.
Who is Suitable for
Face Lift Surgery:
Those with noticeable facial sagging,
Individuals experiencing deep wrinkles
around the mouth,
Those wanting to correct sagging in facial
and neck skin,
Individuals experiencing fat accumulation
or skin laxity under the chin,
Those seeking overall rejuvenation in the
facial and neck areas.
How Face Lift Surgery is Performed:
●
Examination and Planning:
○
Initially, a
cosmetic surgeon examines you, evaluates your medical history, and creates a
surgical plan by discussing your expectations.
●
Anesthesia:
○
The operation is
typically performed under general anesthesia, so the patient is asleep and
feels no pain during the surgery.
●
Incisions:
○
The surgeon makes
incisions usually along the hairline and behind the ears, designed to be as
inconspicuous and natural-looking as possible.
●
Tissue Lifting and Tightening:
○
The facial skin is
lifted, and underlying tissues are tightened. If necessary, fat tissue is
repositioned.
●
Closure of Incisions:
○
Surgical incisions
are meticulously closed. With modern surgical techniques, scars are often
hidden along the hairline or within natural skin folds.
Advantages of Face Lift Surgery:
●
Youthful Appearance:
○
Face lift surgery
provides a rejuvenated appearance by lifting sagging skin and tightening
tissues.
●
Long-Lasting Results:
○
Face lift results
are generally long-lasting and can remain effective for many years for many
individuals.
●
Natural Appearance:
○
With modern
surgical techniques, face lift results offer a natural and balanced look.
Recovery Process
and Considerations:
The recovery process can vary from patient to patient, but generally, a
return to social activities is possible within a few weeks. Swelling and
bruising are normal during the postoperative period but will diminish over
time.
It is crucial to adhere to postoperative care instructions and attend regular
check-ups as recommended by the doctor.
