Facelift Plastic Surgery Procedure

 

Facelift surgery or rhytidectomy is a surgical procedure that raises and firms the sagging facial tissues to restore a younger appearance, improves the visible signs of aging on the face and neck, such as:

    • The relaxation of the skin of the face causing flaccidity
    • Deepening of the fold lines between the nose and the corner of the mouth
    • Fat that has fallen or disappeared
    • Chills are created on the cheeks and jaw
    • Loose skin, excess fat that may appear as a double chin or “turkey neck”

By removing excess, sagging skin, smoothing deep folds and lifting and tightening deep facial tissues, a facelift surgery can help a patient not only look younger, but simply “better.”

The loss of youth on the face can be due to a variety of factors, such as thinning of the skin, loss of facial fat, severity, sun damage, smoking, heredity and stress.

The procedure lifts the skin of the neck (neck of turkey) and the middle face (double chin). The incisions are placed behind the ear, inside the ear and in the hairline, therefore, after the healing process; No visible scars can be identified. Many people include blepharoplasty (removing excess skin from the eyes) at the same time to obtain a balanced, renewed and rejuvenated result.

Why do a facelift ?

As we age, the skin, appearance and shape of the face change naturally, the skin loses elasticity and flexibility, the facial tissues lose volume and the fat deposits increase in some areas and decrease in others. This results in double chins , deep wrinkles and loose skin.

Even being a natural part of the aging process, patients who find these signs of aging annoying may find that cosmetic surgery may be a good option.
