Facelift Surgery for a Smart Young Look

Facelift is a cosmetic procedure which offers several benefits to people who choose to undergo this rejuvenating procedure. With facelift surgery, you can definitely get a youthful look. As people grow older, the skin begins sagging and wrinkles begin to appear. Rhytidectomy, as face lift is otherwise known as, can address aesthetic concerns of the face effectively.

Facelift Can Treat the Following Conditions

• Wrinkles of the skin and fine lines
• Creases between the eyes
• Fallen eyebrow
• Lower eyelid laxity
• Low muscle tone in the lower face and consequent jowls
• Development of a trough below the lower eyelid
• Double chin
• Loss of sharp neck contour

What the Procedure Involves

In facelift surgery, the plastic surgeon raises the facial skin and the underlying facial musculature and facial support to a more pleasing and anatomic position. Any excess skin is removed. The incisions remain concealed around the ear. The types of face lift are:

• Skin only lift: the skin along with the fatty layer is lifted off the muscle.
• Composite lift: here the skin and the deeper tissues are raised together.
• Dual plane lift: the skin is raised in a separate plane as the deep facial tissues.
• Mid-facial and sub-periosteal lifts: ideal for patients with visible facial aging in the cheek area, these focus on the deeper facial tissues.
• Mini facelift or short scar facelift: a very beneficial procedure that helps achieve the objectives of any face lift procedure. 
  

Look Young and Fresh with Face Lift Surgery

When provided by a knowledgeable and experienced plastic surgeon, rhytidectomy offers the best results. The skin is made tighter and firmer, helping to restore a natural, youthful appearance. Acclaimed as a safe surgery, facelift is not associated with severe complications. You may experience slight bleeding, bruising, scarring and swelling that is natural with any kind of surgery, which will resolve soon. With excess skin carefully trimmed and the facial muscles tightened, the face assumes its earlier youthful look devoid of the signs of aging. The cheeks and eyelids are made smoother, jowls are removed, and wrinkles in the neck region are removed. The excellent aesthetic results help improve your confidence and self esteem.

To enjoy the full benefits of facelift, you should approach only an experienced, board certified surgeon. During the initial consultation, the surgeon would explain the procedural details to you so that you can take an informed decision. The surgeon would recommend the type of face lift that will be most beneficial to you and provide customized treatment to help achieve your cosmetic goals.
