Considering a Face Lift?

The facelift is a surgical procedure designed to improve the signs of ageing. The procedure tightens the muscles beneath the skin and the sagging skin itself, while removing fat and improving the appearance of the face overall.

If you feel your skin is starting to sag around the jowls and the lower face in general, or if you think you look tired when they are not, then a facelift may be an option. If the sagging is on the forehead or eyebrows, then a brow lift may be a better option.

The procedure takes 2-4 hours and the majority of patients stay overnight in the hospital or surgical facility. Patients will experience initial puffiness and some bruising and swelling which may take several weeks to subside. Most patients are able to resume normal activities within two weeks and begin exercise within 3-4 weeks.

There are many different types of facelifts that can be performed. Some examples are:

* The standard or conventional facelift: This is designed to lift sagging skin and its deeper structures. The incision lines are hidden in the hairline.

* S-Lift: The incision is directly in front of the ears and the layers are moved and pulled laterally. This lift is for the lower third of the face. The jaw line, jowls and neck can be smoothed this way. This is a minimal incision lift and suits patients who have minimal sagging of the skin.

* Lower Facelift: This is the same procedure as a facelift but to the lower face and addresses the jowls and refines the jawline.

* Brow Lift: This is usually done endoscopically via a few small incisions in the hairline. Sometimes an anchoring device, which is absorbed by the body, is used to hold/lift the tissue up. This procedure takes the heaviness and ’hooding’ away over the eyes.
