FACE LIFT
Your friends and family
members can tell their own opinion about this action, the plastician can
give you medical advice, but the only one who can decide about this
matter is YOU. This kind of surgery
is being practiced ever since 1970; a large number of men and women have
taken advantage of the benefits of this kind of surgery. This kind of intervention
is addressed to both women and men who are not pleased with the aspect
of their neck and face. When we age, our skin loses its elasticity, and
lets itself under the action of gravity. These modifications
appear diversified with different persons; they are influenced either
by body weight fluctuations, sun exposure, daily stress, or by a most
important agent / factor, which is heredity. The aging process manifests
itself with the lids. In order to have a
pleasant, aesthetically speaking, aspect / look, special stress should
be laid on the chin aspect, the eyelids, the forehead, and the cheekbones.
Your plastic surgeon will present you with the necessary changes as far
as these structures are concerned. A person can solicit
this intervention, whenever he or she thinks is ready, and can fully enjoy
the benefits this surgery can offer. It is usually practiced between the
age of 40 - 60, but also at the age of 80. The persons that look better
after this surgical intervention, used to look better before the intervention.
The facial lifting makes your skin younger, it does not beautifies you.
The purpose of the facial lifting is to make you look young again; if
you look better after this lifting, you looked better before; it does
not beautify, it makes the skin younger. If you are not pleased with your look, this kind of surgery gives you the possibility to have a new look, much younger.
The purpose of this
operation is to stretch the face and neck skin. The following procedure
is undertaken: small incisions are made; they extend from the hairy area
of the head through the front of the ear, then it eschews the lobe, and
passes in the inferior part of the ear, then it is continued in the hairy
area of the head. The muscles and the cellular tissue strengthen, the
skin stretches and isets in such a way as to give a younger " look",
and the fatt excess is being removed. If under chin liposuction is needed,
this can be done through an incision at the inferior pole of the chin.
After the incision 2 small drainage tubes can be placed at the back of
the ear, in order to avoid the formation of haematoms. The intervention is
to be made under general anesthesia, because it is the most secure
and it ensures a greater comfort to the surgical team. The risks of the
anesthesia are lower / minimal by general anesthesia , but at the same
time they can not be totally eliminated. You ought to present
your plastic surgeon your medical history in order to establish the surgical
guidance, the surgical complexity, the patient's anatomy, and the type
of the anesthesia. The operation lasts
about 2 - 3 hours. The most facial lifting operations take about 1-2 days post operator stationary, in order to remain under medical and surgical surveillance.
A few possible complications

injury of the facial muscles. Follow the plastic surgeon' s procedures
in order to avoid complications. The number and the importance of the complications depend on the extensity of the technique. POST SURGICAL EFFECTS Post surgical effects
