3Facelift
- Rhytidechtomy or cervico facial lift is very
effective when it comes to minimizing signs of
aging on the face and neck. - Signs of aging include less prominent cheekbones,
hollow cheeks, jowls, sagging of
contours of face and neck, deep wrinkles and folds
, collapsed eyebrows and slack skin on the neck. - The incision for a cervico-facial lift is made
at the root of the hair till around the ear till
the base at the hairline. So it doesn't show, and
normal social activity can be resumed
immediately. - During a lift excess fat around the face and
neck are removed by using liposuction. - A limited procedure would have shorter incisions
in the temple like around the eyebrows. - While you are deciding to have a facelift
surgery abroad, you should ensure that you have
done a complete research about it and have a
thorough understanding of the expected outcome
4Who is a good candidate for facelift surgery?
- Aging causes a lot of saggy skin in the
midface. The loose skin and deep creases majorly
change the persons features as it causes the
face to look tired and older than it is. - A facelift is performed primarily on clients
older than forty to achieve a younger look. - There are many different forms of activities to
reduce wrinkles and tighten the skin. It is
performed either as a full facelift surgery,
which involves the area below the eyes and neck
or as a mini face lift, comprising the mid-face
area while omitting the neck
5How should you prepare yourself for facelift
surgery?
- Take some time off work to get the required rest
post-operation. - During the recovery period, you will also need
support and help from family and friends as you
will not be able to do physically demanding jobs,
attend social events, etc. - In case you have young children you might also
need to arrange child care. Make sure that you
dont have any acute sickness, such as a viral
illness or cold, for at least three weeks before
your scheduled temporal lift surgery please
inform us in case it does occur. - Bring your usual medicines and pills, if
possible in the original packaging. Smokers are
encouraged to stop or at least considerably
reduce smoking two weeks before the operation,
and make sure you bring nicotine patches with
you. - It is required to wear elastic garments after
the procedure which you can buy from the clinic
or bring your own. - Ideally, women should not have their period
during the operation but in case they do, they
should inform their doctor.
6How a facelift is performed?
- The facelift surgery is not so stressful.
The underlying tissue structure is tightened,
face and neck skin is redraped, and excess skin
is removed. - The incisions are made near the temples,
extended around the earlobes and back to the
hairline this allows the scars to be hidden by
hair and in inbred lines. - The fullest facelift involves the redraping of
skin behind tragus. During suturing dissolvable
or non-dissolvable stitches are made dissolvable
stitches are absorbed by the body naturally
resulting in fainter scars, non-dissolvable
stitches need to be extracted after about two or
three weeks. A mini facelift is suitable for a
small decrease of jowls. - For three weeks following the surgery an elastic
garment will need to be worn.
7How does the facelift surgery work?
- Facelift surgery takes approximately two
hours and is done under the combination of local
anesthetic and intravenous sedation
(analgosedation). The client can also request a
general anesthetic.
What is the care to be taken after Surgery
The patient needs to stay at the clinic
for two nights as there is regular checking of
the patients state and administration of
medicine. Rest is critical and head movements
have to be minimized for a week till the bandages
are removed. Any movement of the mouth such as
speaking and laughing should be limited in the
immediate post-operative period. Sudden movements
and bending forwards should also be avoided as
they may cause high blood pressure in the head,
this can result in a vessel rupturing and
bleeding. It is advised to only eat pureed or
liquid food in the first few days after the
operation so that you can eat without moving your
mouth too much. Swelling usually disappears
within two or three weeks after the facelift
surgery and the scars fade within three to six
months.
8What might be the possible complications of
facelift surgery?
- There will be a lot of discomfort in the
first few days, but it gets better with each
passing day. The skin may feel dry and rough for
several months, and the swelling can distort the
face leaving it looking and feeling strange.
Non-observance of the post-operative instructions
can result in post-operative bleeding, bruising,
swelling, numbness, tightness and tenderness of
the skin for two weeks or longer. It can also
result in an imperfect effect. Men need to shave
behind their ears, where the beard-growing skin
is repositioned. - How to get back to normal
- Following uneventful recovery, it is usually
possible to return to work and resume usual
activities (excluding exercise) within two weeks
of the operation. - Result of a facelift surgery
- The result is remarkably noticeable and lasts
around ten years. Before and after pictures here

- You can also combine an eyelid surgery or
forehead operation with your facelift to achieve
your ideal look. Jowls liposuction can also
enhance the result of a facelift if there are
major fat deposits in the area.
