Are you a good candidate for Face-Lift surgery?

The best candidate for a facelift is a woman or man whose face and neck have begun to sag, but whose skin still has some elasticity and whose bone structure is strong and well defined. You are a good candidate for facelift if you have one or combination of  these following conditions

  • Deep wrinkles and smile lines
  • Loose skin on neck and jaw
  • Signs of aging in the lower & middle third of the face
  • Heavy jowls
  • Sagging cheeks

The Procedure

The extent of the procedure depends on what changes are desired and what your surgeon deems appropriate. When removal of pouches around the eyes is desirable, eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty) may be done in conjunction with the facelift surgery. All forms of rhytidectomies are popular with both men and women who feel their face looks older than they feel. General anesthesia is usually required. The surgeon will make incisions inside the hairline at the temple, in front of the ear, then around the earlobe and behind the ear, ending at the scalp area. Excess skin is removed and sagging muscles and connective tissues are tightened and fixed in a desired direction. In some cases, fatty deposits are removed from beneath the chin and neck. Incisions are closed with small sutures. The procedure may take up to 2-3 hours depending on whether any other procedures are performed at the same time.

Your Recovery

Immediately after the Facelift surgery, bandages are gently placed about the head and face for 24 hours. Stitches around the ears will be removed in a few days. The scalp sutures will be removed in 7-10 days. To minimize scarring, the doctor may remove the sutures in stages. Scarring fades quickly. Swelling and discoloration decrease within two to three weeks. Feeling of tightness in your face will be present for several weeks, which will soften gradually. In the Facelift, patients can expect some swelling of the face and eyelids and some discoloration is common with any type of facial surgery. This is most notable on the second and third days and diminishes in approximately one week. However, this also depends on your type of skin, age and healing ability. We recommend you to avoid sun exposure for few weeks after surgery.

Expected Results

The degree of improvement can be determined by such factors as age, heredity, bone structure and various individual characteristics of the skin and personal habits such as alcohol intake, nutrition and smoking. All these factors (to some extent) will determine how long a facelift will last. Thousand of Facelifts are performed successfully each year and it can make you look 5 to 10 years younger than your age. Dramatic as the end results are, this is not a simple procedure. It requires a week to 10 days of recovery. Life-long sun protection will help to maintain your rejuvenated appearance by minimizing photo-aging or sun damage. In addition, a healthy lifestyle will also help extend the results of your rejuvenated, more youthful appearance
