Face Lift
Face Lift or Rhytidectomy
As people age the effects of gravity, exposure to the sun, and the stresses of daily life can be seen in their faces. Deep creases form between the nose and mouth; the jaw line grows slack and jowly; folds and fat deposits appear around the neck. A face lift (technically known as rhytidectomy) can't stop this aging process. A face lift can "set back the clock," improving the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and re-draping the skin of your face and neck. A facelift can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.
Facelift is a procedure where a person's face skin is tightens to give a younger looking appearance. Because of aging and gravity the skin on a person's face can tend to sag and feel droopy. It is in this moment when a facelift surgery becomes a great option to look younger. A facelift in concept is a very easy procedure. A facelift surgeon makes incision on a person's forehead and neck mainly. These incisions are regularly placed in areas where they will not be visible so that the facelift patient has a natural appearance and people cannot tell that the patient had a facelift done.
Because a facelift is a surgery where the patient needs to be put under, it is necessary that after a facelift the patient maintains at least 2-3 days of bed rest. It is also recommended that the patient stays out of the sun for the amount of time suggested by their facelift surgeon. Also it will only be after about 10 days that the patient's facelift stitches will be removed from the patient's forehead, neck or behind the ears.
