Everybody knows that the process of aging is first visible in the face. At certain point in time face wrinkles and creases appear as well as loose skin and excess fatty deposits under the chin. This causes the face to loose its youthful appearance.

Those bothered with such aging signs can perform a face lift. After a face lift patients usually feel younger and their self esteem and self confidence increase significantly.

A face lift is a surgical procedure performed to improve aging signs such as wrinkles and fat that has fallen or is displaced. A face lift removes the excess fat of the face and neck and stretches weakened muscles.

A face lift is ideal for patients that have a lax face skin, wrinkles, excess fat on the neck, creases between the nose and mouth and a jaw line that is not well defined.

Face Lifts are usually performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation and the procedure lasts between 3 to 4 hours.

A traditional face lift incision begins in the hairline at the temples, continues around the ear and ends in the lower scalp. After performing the incision the next step in the face lift surgery is to detach the skin and muscles from face tissue. Fat is sculpted and redistributed between the face and neck. In some cases excess skin is removed and in some cases it is reorganized and tightened with the muscles. Finally skin is placed in position and stitched to close incisions.

After a facelift procedure patients may experience swelling of eyelids and other parts of the face that were operated. This discomfort is usually controlled with medications against swelling and pain. Stitches are removed a week after the surgery and patients can return to work and daily activities after 3 weeks.

Physical activities that require effort are not recommended during the first 2 weeks after the surgery. Sauna and sun exposure are also forbidden during the first 3 weeks.

After a face lift a patient will feel and look younger. In some cases the natural facelift results are permanent such as improving the skin’s limpness; but there are some wrinkles (especially superficial ones) that can not be improved with this procedure. A good care of your skin avoiding sun exposure will prolong surgery results.
