Not Happy With Your Appearance? A Facelift May Help - AmO: Life Beauty Without Limits...

A facelift is a facial surgical procedure that can make you look younger. Sagging or folds of skin on the cheeks and jawline, as well as other changes in the shape of the face that arise with age, maybe reduced with this procedure.

A face-lift involves pulling back a flap of skin on either side of the face and surgically altering the tissues under the skin to restore the contour of the face to a more youthful appearance. Excess skin is removed until the flap is sutured shut.

To remove excess fat and saggy skin on the body, a neck lift (platysmoplasty) is often performed as part of a facelift. A face-lift will not reduce fine creases or wrinkles in your skin, nor will it reverse sun damage. Other cosmetic processes may improve the skin's appearance.

A mini facelift is a latest form of a full facelift. A plastic surgeon uses tiny incisions along your hairline to help raise the lower half of your face and fix sagging skin in the "mini facelift" type. The goal of a mini facelift is to correct sagging skin. A mini facelift is a simpler way to improve your appearance.

Procedure for facelift

Facelifts depend on what you want to achieve. Generally, an incision in the hairline near the temples is made. The incision begins in front of the ear, continues down in front of the earlobe, covering it, and then returns to the lower scalp behind the ears.

Excess fat and skin on the face may be eliminated from this procedure also the underlying muscle and connective tissue is tightened and redistributed. A "micro" facelift can be performed if there is just minor skin sagging. This necessitates smaller incisions.Excess skin and fat can be eliminated from the neck if a neck lift is also performed. The skin of the neck will be drawn up and back and tightened. This is commonly accomplished by making an incision just under the chin.

After surgery, you'll likely have a surgical drainage tube and bandages wrapped around your face.

Expectations after face-lift:

Your practitioner will most likely recommend pain killers after the procedure. You may or may not experience pain, irritation, inflammation, or bruising. All of this is perfectly natural.Your practitioner will tell you when to take off any bandages or drains, as well as when to schedule a follow-up visit.You'll note a change in your appearance until the swelling subsides. It normally takes several months for your skin to "feel" natural.

Give yourself about two weeks to get back to your usual level of everyday activity. Wait four weeks before engaging in more strenuous physical activity, such as exercise. However, since everybody is unique, ask your doctor when you should begin to continue your normal activities.

Moisturize your skin regularly, protect it from the sun, and maintain a balanced routine to make your facelift last longer.A facelift's outcomes aren't guaranteed. You might not get the outcomes you want from just one surgery. A corresponding surgery may be needed in some cases.

Benefits

Addresses multiple signs of aging

By removing excess skin, strengthening underlying tissue and muscle, and redraping the residual skin for a smoother and tighter look to the face and neck, advanced facelift techniques seek to restore numerous signs of aging sustained over the years. If you're concerned about any of the following common signs of aging, a facelift will address them all in one procedure.

Tightens up sagging skin

A facelift is a therapeutic and facial procedure that tightens and smooths loose skin on the face and neck by “undermining” the skin from the underlying muscles and tissues. Skin is redraped over the face and excess skin is reduced after the muscles and tissue under the skin have been repositioned and tightened, effectively smoothing away wrinkles and softening the skin.

Invisible surgical scars

Facelift incisions are intended to be almost invisible, so there would be no noticeable scarring or signs that you had an aesthetic operation. Specific areas and the size of the incisions can vary depending on the areas you want to treat and the results you want, most incisions are made behind the ear or along the hairline for easy concealment after the procedure, so only you can know the key to younger skin.
