WHAT IS FACELIFT SURGERY?

Who doesn’t want to look young forever? Well, due to advancements in the Medical world, everything is now possible with the guidance of expert cosmetic surgeons.

 

Rhytidectomy, in simple language, is called Facelift surgery, which is a cosmetic surgical operation that can help you look younger. Sagging or loose skin on the cheekbones and jawline, as well as other changes in the contour of your face that occur with age, can be reduced with this surgery. Excess skin is removed, wrinkles are smoothed out, and facial tissue is tightened during a facelift. A brow or eye lift is not included.

 

A neck lift surgery called Platysmaplasty is done as a part of facelift surgery to hide the sagging and loose skin on the neck. Facelift never reduces the blemishes or wrinkles in your skin. There are other cosmetic surgeries available for them. 

COMPONENTS OF FACELIFT SURGERY

Because of normal age-related changes, the visual appearance, shape, and physique of your face change as you get older. Fat deposits decrease in certain regions of your face but rise in others as your skin tends to become less elastic and floppy. The following are age-related changes in your face that can get decreased with a facelift:

  • Hanging down of your cheek (sagging)
  • Extra skin depositing at your lower jawline (jowls)
  • Gathering a fold of skin from the side of your nose towards the corner of the mouth
  • Skin sagging and depositing extra fat in the neck

 

WHO SHOULD UNDERGO FACELIFT?

  • Healthy people who don't smoke and don't have any medical issues that could affect wound healing or recovery post-surgery 
  • Individuals who have practical expectations about the surgery
  • Any individual above 40 years with excess loose skin who wants a sharp, thin & firm faceline.
