What Changes Can Facelift Surgery Bring To The Face?

 A facelift or rhytidectomy is a cosmetic surgical operation that helps to give one with a face that is more youthful in appearance by defying the signs of aging.

By eliminating redundant facial skin or tightening the loose facial muscles, it reshapes the aging part of the face. 

The rhytidectomy surgery helps tighten loose and tightens the hanging skin around the jawline. It can also eliminate deep wrinkles around the lips and nose and extra skin and fat beneath the chin and neck.

‘The technique can also tighten underlying tissues and be paired with surgery to improve the appearance of the forehead, cheeks, brows, and eyelids’, shares Facelift Surgeon in Thane Dr. Medha Bhave at Laser Cosmesis Clinic.

Changes that facelift surgery will bring to the face:

The surgery will give you the following:

• Boost of self-confidence
• It helps to reduce the signs of aging throughout the face (neck also if a neck lift is also performed)
• Gives one natural and youthful facial contours
• Gives a less tired appearance
• Gives a smoother-looking facial skin
• Helps one achieve attractive jawline and enhanced neck contour.

Facelift surgery procedure discussed:

1. Facelift surgery is often performed on an outpatient basis. Local anesthetics, sedatives, and general anesthesia may be used.
2. The process might take between 2 and 5 hours, and the patient can usually go home the same day.
3. While performing the facelift procedure, the surgeon will make an incision in front of the ear that continues up into the hairline and behind the ear into the hair-bearing scalp.
4. The surgeon raises the skin away from the deeper face muscles and fat, gently pushes it upward and posteriorly, and eliminates the surplus skin. They have the potential to tighten the deeper tissues of the face.
5. A minor incision or cut beneath the chin may be done to tighten the skin and deeper neck tissue, referred to as a neck lift.
6. Sutures and maybe staples are used to seal the incisions. A drain may be inserted beneath the skin behind the ear to eliminate extra blood and fluids for one or two days. Bandages are used to cover them.

Procedure of facelift

There are two types of Facelift procedures:

Full Facelift

It is sometimes called a classic facelift, with the complete facelift targeting the lower two-thirds of the face and helping vertically realign drooping cheeks and other loose facial tissues.

The procedure eliminates loose skin from the neck and cheeks and aids in the restoration of jawline definition. This procedure involves making an inconspicuous incision around and behind the ears.

Short Scar Facelift

It is also known as a tiny face lift and, more appropriately, a SMAS lift. The procedure is prevalent among young people since it eliminates mild drooping on the lower face and neck. Compared to a complete facelift, the incision is smaller, and the recovery time is shorter.
