What is a Facelift Surgery?

A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a surgery procedure performed to correct the anatomical changes that exist in the face and neck particularly associated with senescence. This improves the overall looks of an individual by correcting the droopy skin and wrinkling cheek, jowls, mouth-nose creases, or low hanging skin in the casing area. The major function of facelifting is lifting and sagging instead of wrinkles or color and textural changes of the skin due to sunlight.

Symptoms and Clinical Assessments Indicated for Facelift The lack of skin firmness and an increasing number of wrinkles around the face are quite suggestive of the need to undergo facelifts. Some of the causes of this include:

Heredity
Custom
Pull of gravity
Improper diet
Exposure to the elements

Types of Facelift Surgery

Before going in for a facelift, a patient needs to know that there are several facelift types, surgical or non-surgical. Depending on an individual’s need for facial rejuvenation, one or other of the options below could grant the truly wanted youthful appearance.

Traditional face lifting surgery: An incision (cut) will be done at the hairline from the temple, round and behind the ear, and back into the hairline. The skin will be lifted away from underlying tissues. The muscles will be tightened, and extra fat will be removed. Then the excess skin shall be cut and stitched or stapled into position.
Mini Lift This is a mini facelift that is part of facelift surgery. Most surgeries use it as the initial point before assessing how far to cut into the patient. It's frequently used together with other facelift operations, like brow lift, for optimum results. It covers treatment only for the bottommost part of the face. The incisions are done from top to bottom along your ear's natural curves, which keeps them completely hidden.
Neck lift As with all face-lift procedures, neck lift surgery is designed such that it improves aging signs on the introduced profile of neck and jawlines. You have a regular neck lift type of incision available for most common neck lift options or a minimal neck lift incision, depending on the extent of improvement you desire. The incision typically starts at the hairline in the area just above the sideburn, descends down and around the ear, then finishes on the back of the scalp.

Some factors to consider before going in for facelift surgery

Before making the choice to undergo a facelift, there are certain significant considerations that you ought to keep in mind:

Such a surgery procedure may not lift drooping eyebrows, deepsen forehead lines, reshape either the upper or lower eyelids, and reduce lip folds.
Results are expected to last for between five and twelve years.
The surgery will not stop the normal aging process from continuing.
Complications are more likely among smokers. So ideally quit smoking about three weeks to reduce the chance of having complications as well as better health.

Facelift – what to expect during surgery

Facelift surgery is usually performed under the influence of general anaesthetia. The length of the operation usually depends on the type and extent of the surgery but could take anywhere from two to four hours.

Anaesthesia

Medications are administered to you for your comfort during the surgical procedure. The choices at this stage include intravenous sedation and general anaesthesia. Your doctor will recommend the best possible choice for you. A variety of other procedures can further enhance the result of a facelift. They include:

Facial implants or fat transfer to improve the contour
Resurfacing techniques to enhance the tone and texture of facial skin
Reduction of wrinkle by injection of fat or fillers

Incision

The surgery begins with an incision starting in the hairline near the temple, tracing a path in front of the ear, around the earlobe, behind the ear, and ending again in the posterior hairline. A small incision is made under the chin if a neck lift is also performed alongside. For men, the incision is made so as to accommodate natural beard lines. In a majority of cases, the incisions are placed where they will fall into a natural skin crease for camouflage.

Procedure

A skin flap is lifted over the tissues that will be elevated in surgery. A second tissue layer, deep into the skin, is then sutured. Tensioning of this layer gives way for tightening facial jowls and improving jawline contour. This tissue layer is subsequently suspended from the upper face and sutured roughly horizontally, allowing for tightening of the lower face and adjoining jawline. If neck tightening is also needed, an incision is made under the chin. The platysma muscle is exposed. The platysma muscle allows for rejuvenation of the neck, and also causes “neck bands.” The platysma is secured behind the ear to the mastoid bone for a more horizontal pull, using sutures that ultimately are absorbed. Excess skin leftover from these procedures is eventually discarded.
