"Face
Lift" |
|
|
As people age, the effects of
gravity, stress, and exposure to the sun become apparent in
the features of their face. A facelift can help make a person
appear younger by removing excess fat, tightening facial
muscles, and re-draping facial and neck skin. |
|
|
|
Reasons To
Consider |
- Your face and neck have
begun to sag.
- You have excess skin
around your jaw and cheek area.
|
During a face lift, incisions
are made above the hairline near the temples and continue
around the ear to the back of the scalp. The surgeon then
removes excess fat, and tightens the muscles and sagging
tissue. Excess skin is then trimmed, and the incisions are
closed with stitches.
RECOVERING FROM THIS SURGERY
After a facelift, the pain and discomfort are usually
minimal and easily taken care of with medication. Bandages can
be removed after a few days, and stitches will be removed
after about five days. You should be up and about in a few
days following the surgery, but don't plan any strenuous
activities. Your face may distorted from the swelling and
bruising, but this should all subside a few weeks down the
road. |
