Face Lifting

Anesthesia

During the surgical procedure, you will receive medication for comfort. Both general anesthesia and intravenous sedation are options. The option that is ideal for you will be advised by your doctor.

The results of a facelift can be further improved by a number of additional procedures. They consist of:

Using fat transfer or facial implants to improve contour
Utilizing resurfacing methods to enhance the texture and tone of face skin
Using fillers or fat injections to reduce wrinkles

The Incision

Your facelift options include a regular facelift, a restricted incision facelift, or a neck lift, depending on how much change you'd like to see.

An incision for a classic facelift frequently starts in the hairline near the temples, travels around the ear, and terminates in the lower scalp. In addition to repositioning underlying tissue and sculpting or redistributing fat from the face, jowls, and neck, it is also frequently necessary to lift the muscles and deeper layers of the skin on the face. Excess skin is removed and redraped over the raised features.

To further rejuvenate an aged neck, it could be required to make a second incision under the chin. The incisions are closed using sutures or skin adhesives.

Customary Facelift

A less invasive facelift technique makes shorter incisions at the temples and wraps them around the ear. Since the benefits are less restorative than those of a full facelift, "mini-lifts" are typically only performed on individuals who have less skin relaxation.

Small Incision

A necklift treats sagging jowls, loose neck skin, and submental fat buildup. The neck lift incision frequently starts in the hair behind the ear and wraps around to the back before ending in the posterior hair.

Closing the Incisions

Sutures used to close the wounds may disintegrate or need to be removed after a few days. To close the incisions, some surgeons employ skin glues. After healing, the facelift's incision lines blend in seamlessly with the hairline and the ear's natural contours.
