A facelift can improve the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck. A facelift can be done together with other procedures such as brow and forehead lifts, eyelid surgery, facial liposuction, chin augmentation and nose surgery. |

Surgical procedure |
|
| |
|
Procedure Incisions usually begin above the hairline at the temples, follow the natural line in front of the ear, and curve behind the earlobe into the crease behind the ear, and into or along the lower scalp so as the results make scars nearly invisible. The exact placement of incisions and the sequence of events depends on your facial structure.
In general, the surgeon separates the skin from the fat and muscle below. Fat may be trimmed or suctioned from around the neck and chin to improve the contour. The surgeon then tightens the underlying muscle and membrane, pulls the skin back, and removes the excess. Stitches secure the layers of tissue and close the incisions. In full face lift the neck and face will be tightened altogether. |

Results |
|
| |
|
After surgery there isn't usually significant discomfort; if there is, it can be lessened with the prescribed pain medication by your surgeon. (Severe or persistent pain or a sudden swelling of your face should be reported to your surgeon immediately.) Some numbness of the skin is quite normal; it will disappear in a few weeks or months.
However, normal healing is a gradual process, with final results not fully realized for at least three weeks. |

Possible Risks and Complications |
|
| |
|
Complications that can occur include hematoma (a collection of blood under the skin), injury to the nerves that control facial muscles (usually temporary), infection, and reactions to the anesthesia. Poor healing of the skin is most likely to affect smokers. Most of the incision is concealed and not noticeable. It is most likely to be heavy behind the ear where there is greater tension. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
Side Effects |
|
| |
|
The severity and duration of such side effects may vary, especially if another cosmetic procedure was performed at the same time. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
After Care |
|
| |
|
Following surgery, a small thin tube may be temporarily placed under the skin behind your ear to drain any blood that might collect there. The surgeon may also wrap your head loosely in bandages to minimize bruising and swelling. All will be removed the next day and hair shampoo to soften the hair. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Recovery Time |
|
| |
|
The recovery takes one to two weeks. Most people are back to work within a week or two. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |

|

|
|
| |

Post Operative Care |
|
| |
|
You will be asked to keep your head slightly elevated for a few days. If a drain has been inserted, it will removed in a day or two following the operation. Dressing commonly are removed in a few days. A patient who was admitted to a hospital will be releasedin two to four days.
Swelling and skin discoloration are common and usually will subside within a week or two. Many patients report a sense of tightness or numbness of the face and neck after surgery. The intensity of these conditions and how long they will last caries with the individual.
Using cosmetic is permitted after the sutures have been removed. Exposure to the sun should be limited for a few months following surgery and accompanied by a sun screen with a high protection factor.
- It is important to follow a careful plan on return to strenuous activity, in order to avoid tension
on the wound (which could lead to worse scarring).
- If you've had a drainage tube inserted, it will be removed one or two days after surgery.
Bandages, when used, are usually removed after one to five days. Don't be surprised at the
pale, bruised, and puffy face you see. Just keep in mind that in a few weeks you'll be looking
normal.
- Most of your stitches will be removed after about five days. Your scalp may take longer to
heal, and the stitches or metal clips in your hairline could be left in a few days longer.
- Your doctor may tell you to keep your head elevated and as still as possible for a couple of
days after surgery, to keep the swelling down.
- Avoid strenuous activity, including sex and heavy housework, for at least two weeks (walking
and mild stretching are fine); avoid alcohol, steam baths, and saunas for several months.
Above all, get plenty of rest and allow your body to spend its energy on healing.
- Able to fly back home after seven days. |
