Whether you like it or not, your face is one of the first parts of your body that shows signs of aging. As you age, you skin becomes thicker and the pores become wider. Your cheeks, chin, eyelids and the skin under your eyes begin to sag. Wrinkles, age lines and folds appear on your cheeks and forehead. Your cheeks become hollow and your jaw line loses definition. A healthy lifestyle can delay the aging process, but if you are already beginning to look old, then a facelift surgery can give you a new lease of life.
Facelift, also called rhytedectomy, is a cosmetic surgery that is designed to give people back their youthful appearance. It targets your mid face, lower face and jaw line. Depending upon their invasiveness, there are several types of facelift, including superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) life and deep plane. Facelift is often a major surgery requiring anesthesia. Full recovery and resumption of normal life after take several weeks. Regardless of the type of facelift, it generally involves the following:
Administer anesthetic: Before the surgery, the surgeon administers either a general anesthetic or a local anesthetic to numb your skin. The former makes you unconscious for the duration of the surgery while latter keeps you awake.
Create incisions: The surgeon makes incisions along your hairline and around your ears. The incision may extend into your scalp.
Rearrange the skin: The doctor then carefully lifts the skin from your face, rearranges the tissue to make it smooth, tightens the facial oval and removes any excess skin that may be there. He may also remove excess fat with a technique called liposuction.
Suture (stitch up) the skin: The doctor then places the skin back on your face, sutures the incision and applies bandage over it.
