What is Facelift Surgery?
Facelift surgery, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at reducing visible signs of aging in the face and neck areas. By removing excess skin, tightening underlying tissues, and repositioning skin on the face and neck, a facelift can help patients look younger and fresher. This procedure is effective for eliminating deep creases around the mouth and nose, and for tightening loose skin around the jawline, commonly known as jowls.
Recovery After Facelift Surgery, Post-Surgical Care:
After your facelift surgery, special dressings or bandages may be applied to your incisions, and you might have drainage tubes placed under the skin to collect any excess blood or fluid. These measures help minimize swelling and bruising.
You will receive detailed instructions on:
- How to care for your surgical site and drains
- Medications to apply or take orally to aid in healing
- Specific concerns to watch for at the surgical site
- When to follow up with your plastic surgeon
- Results of Facelift Surgery
Immediate Results and Long-Term Outcomes:
The improvements from a facelift can give you a more rested and youthful appearance. Although initial swelling and bruising may mask the results temporarily, these effects usually subside over a few months. The final look can be long-lasting, especially when complemented by a healthy lifestyle and proper skin care, including lifelong sun protection. However, results vary, and there is no guarantee. In some cases, additional procedures might be needed to achieve optimal outcomes.
Essential Questions to Ask Your Plastic Surgeon
During your recovery period, it’s important to discuss:
- Where will I be taken after my surgery is complete?
- What medication will I be prescribed after surgery?
- Will I have dressings/bandages after surgery?
- When will they be removed?
- Are stitches removed? When?
- When can I wear makeup again?
- When can I resume normal activity and exercise?
- When do I return for follow-up care?
- When can I see my stylist for hair color and cut?
Sun exposure, weight loss, and genetics can also cause the skin to prematurely hang. The appearance of old age may lead others to perceive you as worn out or unhappy, and it can make you look tired and feel depressed every time you see yourself in a mirror. This is not who you really are! A face lift can subtly restore your youthful appearance and make you feel more confident and attractive.
