Facelift

A facelift is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of aging in the face and neck, such as:

•   Loose skin and excess fat of the neck that can appear as a double chin,

•   Fat that has fallen or disappeared,

•   Relaxation of the skin of the face causing sagging,

•   Jowls developing in the cheeks and jaw,

The loss of youthful contours in the face can be due to variety of factors, including thinning of the skin, loss of facial fat, gravity, sun damage, smoking, as well as heredity and stress.

You may be a good candidate for facelift if you:

•   Are physically healthy,

•   Are a nonsmoker,

•   Have a positive outlook and realistic expectations,

In your consultation you need to discuss with your doctor these topics:

•   The reason that you want to have your operation

•   Your expectations and the desired outcome

•   If you have any medical conditions, any drug allergies and previous medical treatments

•   If you are using any medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco or drugs.

Your plastic surgeon will also:

•   Evaluate your health status,

•   Examine your face area,

•   Take your photographs,

•   Speak with you about the options and give recommendation,

•   Discuss likely outcomes of facelift and any risks or potential complications,

The operation consists in three phases. The beginning phase is the anesthesia, your operation will be performed in general anesthesia. The second phase is incision. Traditional facelift incision often begins in the hairline at the temples, continues around the ear and ends in the lower scalp. Fat may be sculpted or redistributed from the face, jowls and neck and underlying tissue is repositioned, commonly the deeper layers of the face and the muscles are also lifted. Skin is redraped over the uplifted contours and excess skin is trimmed away.

An alternative to a traditional facelift uses shorter incisions at the temples, continuing around the ear. "Mini-lifts" are usually reserved for patients with less skin relaxation, as the results are less rejuvenating than a full facelift.

Last phase is closing incisions. The incisions will be closed with sutures that may dissolve or may need to be removed after a few days. Once healed, the incision lines from a facelift are well concealed within the hairline and in the natural contours of the face and ear.

During your gynecomastia surgery recovery period, dressings or bandages will be applied to your incisions and an elastic bandage or support garment may be used to minimalize swelling and support your new chest contour as it heals after surgery.

A small, thin tube may be temporarily placed under the skin to drain any excess blood or fluid that may collect.​
