Facelift

• Rhytidechtomy or cervico facial lift is very
  effective when it comes to minimizing signs of
  aging on the face and neck.
• Signs of aging include less prominent cheekbones,
   hollow cheeks, jowls, sagging of
  contours of face and neck, deep wrinkles and folds
  , collapsed eyebrows and slack skin on the neck. 
• The incision for a cervico-facial lift is made
  at the root of the hair till around the ear till
  the base at the hairline. So it doesn't show, and
  normal social activity can be resumed
  immediately.
• During a lift excess fat around the face and
  neck are removed by using liposuction.
• A limited procedure would have shorter incisions
  in the temple like around the eyebrows.
• While you are deciding to have a facelift
  surgery abroad, you should ensure that you have
  done a complete research about it and have a
  thorough understanding of the expected outcome

Who is a good candidate for facelift surgery?

• Aging causes a lot of saggy skin in the
  midface. The loose skin and deep creases majorly
  change the persons features as it causes the
  face to look tired and older than it is.
• A facelift is performed primarily on clients
  older than forty to achieve a younger look.
• There are many different forms of activities to
  reduce wrinkles and tighten the skin. It is
  performed either as a full facelift surgery,
  which involves the area below the eyes and neck
  or as a mini face lift, comprising the mid-face
  area while omitting the neck

How should you prepare yourself for facelift
surgery?

• Take some time off work to get the required rest
  post-operation.
• During the recovery period, you will also need
  support and help from family and friends as you
  will not be able to do physically demanding jobs,
  attend social events, etc.
• In case you have young children you might also
  need to arrange child care. Make sure that you
  dont have any acute sickness, such as a viral
  illness or cold, for at least three weeks before
  your scheduled temporal lift surgery please
  inform us in case it does occur.
• Bring your usual medicines and pills, if
  possible in the original packaging. Smokers are
  encouraged to stop or at least considerably
  reduce smoking two weeks before the operation,
  and make sure you bring nicotine patches with
  you.
• It is required to wear elastic garments after
  the procedure which you can buy from the clinic
  or bring your own.
• Ideally, women should not have their period
  during the operation but in case they do, they
  should inform their doctor.

How a facelift is performed?

• The facelift surgery is not so stressful.
  The underlying tissue structure is tightened,
  face and neck skin is redraped, and excess skin
  is removed.
• The incisions are made near the temples,
  extended around the earlobes and back to the
  hairline this allows the scars to be hidden by
  hair and in inbred lines.
• The fullest facelift involves the redraping of
  skin behind tragus. During suturing dissolvable
  or non-dissolvable stitches are made dissolvable
  stitches are absorbed by the body naturally
  resulting in fainter scars, non-dissolvable
  stitches need to be extracted after about two or
  three weeks. A mini facelift is suitable for a
  small decrease of jowls.
• For three weeks following the surgery an elastic
  garment will need to be worn.

How does the facelift surgery work?

• Facelift surgery takes approximately two
  hours and is done under the combination of local
  anesthetic and intravenous sedation
  (analgosedation). The client can also request a
  general anesthetic.

What is the care to be taken after Surgery
The patient needs to stay at the clinic
for two nights as there is regular checking of
the patients state and administration of
medicine. Rest is critical and head movements
have to be minimized for a week till the bandages
are removed. Any movement of the mouth such as
speaking and laughing should be limited in the
immediate post-operative period. Sudden movements
and bending forwards should also be avoided as
they may cause high blood pressure in the head,
this can result in a vessel rupturing and
bleeding. It is advised to only eat pureed or
liquid food in the first few days after the
operation so that you can eat without moving your
mouth too much. Swelling usually disappears
within two or three weeks after the facelift
surgery and the scars fade within three to six
months.

What might be the possible complications of
facelift surgery?

• There will be a lot of discomfort in the
  first few days, but it gets better with each
  passing day. The skin may feel dry and rough for
  several months, and the swelling can distort the
  face leaving it looking and feeling strange.
  Non-observance of the post-operative instructions
  can result in post-operative bleeding, bruising,
  swelling, numbness, tightness and tenderness of
  the skin for two weeks or longer. It can also
  result in an imperfect effect. Men need to shave
  behind their ears, where the beard-growing skin
  is repositioned.
• How to get back to normal
• Following uneventful recovery, it is usually
  possible to return to work and resume usual
  activities (excluding exercise) within two weeks
  of the operation.
• Result of a facelift surgery
• The result is remarkably noticeable and lasts
  around ten years. Before and after pictures here
  in the gallery.
• Extra
• You can also combine an eyelid surgery or
  forehead operation with your facelift to achieve
  your ideal look. Jowls liposuction can also
  enhance the result of a facelift if there are
  major fat deposits in the area.
