3. Facelift Rhytidechtomy or cervico facial lift is very effective when it comes to minimizing signs of aging on the face and neck. Signs of aging include less prominent cheekbones, hollow cheeks, jowls, sagging of contours of face and neck, deep wrinkles and folds, collapsed eyebrows and slack skin on the neck.  The incision for a cervico-facial lift is made at the root of the hair till around the ear till the base at the hairline. So it doesn't show, and normal social activity can be resumed immediately. During a lift excess fat around the face and neck are removed by using liposuction. A limited procedure would have shorter incisions in the temple like around the eyebrows. While you are deciding to have a facelift surgery abroad, you should ensure that you have done a complete research about it and have a thorough understanding of the expected outcome

4. Who is a good candidate for facelift surgery? Aging causes a lot of saggy skin in the midface. The loose skin and deep creases majorly change the person’s features as it causes the face to look tired and older than it is. A facelift is performed primarily on clients older than forty to achieve a younger look. There are many different forms of activities to reduce wrinkles and tighten the skin. It is performed either as a full facelift surgery, which involves the area below the eyes and neck; or as a mini face lift, comprising the mid-face area while omitting the neck

5. How should you prepare yourself for facelift surgery? Take some time off work to get the required rest post-operation. During the recovery period, you will also need support and help from family and friends as you will not be able to do physically demanding jobs, attend social events, etc. In case you have young children you might also need to arrange child care. Make sure that you don’t have any acute sickness, such as a viral illness or cold, for at least three weeks before your scheduled temporal lift surgery; please inform us in case it does occur. Bring your usual medicines and pills, if possible in the original packaging. Smokers are encouraged to stop or at least considerably reduce smoking two weeks before the operation, and make sure you bring nicotine patches with you. It is required to wear elastic garments after the procedure which you can buy from the clinic or bring your own. Ideally, women should not have their period during the operation but in case they do, they should inform their doctor.

6. How a facelift is performed? The facelift surgery is not so stressful. The underlying tissue structure is tightened, face and neck skin is redraped, and excess skin is removed. The incisions are made near the temples, extended around the earlobes and back to the hairline; this allows the scars to be hidden by hair and in inbred lines. The fullest facelift involves the redraping of skin behind tragus. During suturing dissolvable or non-dissolvable stitches are made; dissolvable stitches are absorbed by the body naturally resulting in fainter scars, non-dissolvable stitches need to be extracted after about two or three weeks. A mini facelift is suitable for a small decrease of jowls. For three weeks following the surgery an elastic garment will need to be worn.

7. How does the facelift surgery work? Facelift surgery takes approximately two hours and is done under the combination of local anesthetic and intravenous sedation (analgosedation). The client can also request a general anesthetic. • What is the care to be taken after Surgery • The patient needs to stay at the clinic for two nights as there is regular checking of the patient’s state and administration of medicine. Rest is critical and head movements have to be minimized for a week till the bandages are removed. Any movement of the mouth such as speaking and laughing should be limited in the immediate post-operative period. Sudden movements and bending forwards should also be avoided as they may cause high blood pressure in the head, this can result in a vessel rupturing and bleeding. It is advised to only eat pureed or liquid food in the first few days after the operation so that you can eat without moving your mouth too much. Swelling usually disappears within two or three weeks after the facelift surgery and the scars fade within three to six months.

8. What might be the possible complications of facelift surgery? There will be a lot of discomfort in the first few days, but it gets better with each passing day. The skin may feel dry and rough for several months, and the swelling can distort the face leaving it looking and feeling strange. Non-observance of the post-operative instructions can result in post-operative bleeding, bruising, swelling, numbness, tightness and tenderness of the skin for two weeks or longer. It can also result in an imperfect effect. Men need to shave behind their ears, where the beard-growing skin is repositioned. • How to get back to normal Following uneventful recovery, it is usually possible to return to work and resume usual activities (excluding exercise) within two weeks of the operation. • Result of a facelift surgery The result is remarkably noticeable and lasts around ten years.
