How does the Facelift Procedure go?

A facelift (technically known as a rhytidectomy) will help reduce some of the most visible signs of aging. Tightening underlying muscles and redraping the skin helps reduce the appearance of the deep creases between the nose and mouth, and tightens the lax skin of the jawline and neck. In addition, excess fat in the neck is removed.

What are the different kinds of facelifts?

• Traditional facelift: A traditional facelift surgery involves incisions around your ears, hairline, and below your chin. The surgeon also removes excess fat in your neck and jowls as needed. This surgery is generally recommended for people who want optimal improvement of moderate to significant facial aging.
• SMAS facelift (SMAS rhytidectomy): A SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system, the muscular layer of your face) facelift targets the lower two-thirds of your face. In this surgical procedure, a surgeon tightens your muscle and trims excess skin and/or fat in your cheeks and lower face.
• Deep plane facelift: The surgeon lifts the SMAS (the muscular layer of your face), fat, and skin as a single unit. The deep plane lifts generally address multiple areas of your face at the same time.
• Mid-facelift: A mid-facelift surgery treats the cheek area of your face. A surgeon repositions the fat in your cheek and tightens the skin in your cheek area.
• Mini-facelift: Mini-facelift surgeries focus on lifting your lower face and neck area. It’s a quicker and less invasive surgery than other facelift surgeries. Surgeons usually recommend mini-facelifts to people who are younger and only have early signs of facial sagging.
• Cutaneous (skin) facelift: Cutaneous facelifts involve your skin only and usually focus on your neck and lower face.

What are the Facelift risks and complications?.

Complications that can occur include hematoma (a collection of blood under the skin that must be removed by the surgeon), 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.
