Face lift procedures are very popular not just with celebrities but with politicians, business people and men and women, who want to rejuvenate their appearance and look fresher and younger.As time goes by, our faces start to lose elasticity. This can result in excess folds of skin on the face, resulting in saggy skin which can give a ‘tired' looking appearance.
Face lift is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the visible signs of aging in the face.
We are all affected by ageing - that irreversible relentless process of tissue degeneration which results in the loss of elasticity and stretching of the skin, its supporting suspensors ligaments and the underlying soft tissues.
Many people choose to have a face lift procedure as the results are rejuvenating, giving a long-lasting firm, fresh and youthful looking appearance.
How long the effect lasts depends on the individual but most patients report that following a face lift, they look ten years younger.
A Facelift can be combined with a Neck Lift or Brow Lift.
Facelifts can lift your whole face (a full facelift) or just your brow area, lower face, or neck. We can turn the clock back so you will always get the benefit of having had the surgery, you will just continue to age at your normal rate
Traditional facelift
In a traditional facelift, your surgeon will make a surgical cut in your hairline, down past the front of your ears and then up into the hairline again behind the ears. Very rarely, cuts may also be made under your chin if you want to lift a sagging jaw line.
Your skin is carefully separated from the underlying tissues. The surgeon will then removes or reposition the excess fat, tighten the muscles and surrounding tissues in your face. He or she will finally lift your skin, pull it back and trim off any excess.
Your skin is then stitched back to the line where the cut was initially made. Afterwards, your face is wrapped in bandages. Depending on the exact procedure, these may run under your chin, around your ears and/or over your head. They are usually taken off after a day before you leave the hospital.
