Presentation Transcript

  1. Facelift

  2. What Is A Facelift? • Rhytidectomy, more commonly known as a facelift, is an elective cosmetic procedure that aims to produce a more youthful facial appearance. • A facelift is achieved by tightening the skin and underlying muscles and tissues of the face, effectively addressing wrinkles, folds, jowls, droops and sags. • A facelift can make patients appear 10-15 years younger!

  3. What Does A Facelift Address? • Facelift addresses aesthetic concerns in the middle of the face and neck, including: • Drooping and sagging skin on the face and neck • Creases underneath the nose, along the sides of the mouth, and underneath the lower eyelids • Fleshy, dropping jowls on the lower cheeks • Fatty deposits, displaced fat and loose skin beneath the jaw, resulting in a double chin • Drooping and/or wrinkling around the eyes can be treated with an eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty.

  4. Facelift Effectiveness • Skin quality (texture, pigmentation, elasticity) plays a role in determining facelift effectiveness. • The condition of the skin is an important factor in achieving the best facelift results. Generally, the sooner you start with your first facelift, the better the long-term results. • An ideal facelift candidate is in good health and has realistic expectations of the results he or she will be able to achieve from a facelift procedure.

  5. The Facelift Process • There are various face lift techniques performed by cosmetic surgeons that may or may not be suitable for your specific facial aging pattern. • The MACS facelift procedure is often chosen because it provides excellent results with well-hidden scars. • Consult with your surgeon to understand the full process.

  6. The MACS Facelift • MACS stands for Minimal Access Cranial Suspension and is a very popular technique. • In a MACS facelift, incisions are made in front of the ear, rather than behind, as in the SMAS lift. • Skin is lifted from the underlying tissues, fat and muscles of the face, so they can be tightened. • The skin is then re-draped gently over the tissues, producing a smoother and younger “finish.”

  7. Facelift Recovery • Your facelift recovery will depend on the exact techniques utilized and procedure performed. • There may be some bruising, swelling and general discomfort for the first several days. • Many patients are back to work and their usual social lives in only one week! • Be sure to ask your facelift surgeon what to expect for your recovery process and be prepared to take the appropriate time off to fully heal and recovery following your procedure.

  8. Facelift Results • While every facelift patient is different, here are some samples of before and after results from others who have undergone a facelift procedure:

  9. Choosing Your Facelift Surgeon • Selecting your facelift surgeon is arguably the most important part of having a facelift. Here are some tips to help you with choosing your doctor: • Read reviews and testimonials online. Be sure to look for quantity in addition to quality – 5 stars from one person doesn’t mean as much as 5 stars from 20 people! • Look at before and after photos from previous surgeries. • Look for membership and accreditations from medical boards and societies. • Set up a consultation to ask all of your questions, and evaluate the surgeon based on his/her answers.

  10. If you’re considering having a facelift, be sure to read up and learn as much as you can about the procedure so that you can have the best experience and enjoy a great result! Here’s to your new, younger looking you!
