Face Lifting

Facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that is used to improve the appearance of the face. It is often performed on people who are experiencing sagging skin, wrinkles, and a loss of volume in the face, and want to improve their overall appearance.

During a facelift, the surgeon will make incisions in the scalp and around the ears to access the underlying muscles and tissue. The muscles and tissue will then be repositioned to create a more youthful and defined facial contour. The incisions will then be closed with sutures or skin adhesives.

Facelift can be an effective treatment for those who are experiencing sagging skin, wrinkles, and a loss of volume in the face, and want to improve their overall appearance. However, it is important to note that the procedure is not suitable for everyone and it is important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to determine if a facelift is right for you. The surgeon will consider factors such as your skin type, medical history, and overall health before recommending the procedure. Facelift can help improve self-esteem and boost confidence in both children and adults.

How long does the facelifting operation take?

The length of a facelift surgery will depend on the specific techniques and techniques used by the surgeon, as well as the extent of treatment needed. In general, facelift surgery takes about 3-6 hours to complete.

During the procedure, the surgeon will make incisions in the scalp and around the ears to access the underlying muscles and tissue. The muscles and tissue will then be repositioned to create a more youthful and defined facial contour. The incisions will then be closed with sutures or skin adhesives.

After the surgery, the patient will typically need to rest for a few days to allow the incisions to heal. There may be some swelling, bruising, and discomfort following the surgery, but these symptoms should resolve within a few weeks. Most patients are able to return to work and other normal activities within a week or two after the surgery, although strenuous activities should be avoided for a few weeks to allow the face to heal properly. It is important to follow the surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully to ensure the best possible recovery and results.
