What are The Benefits of a Full Facelift?
While there are other options available for patients who want to rejuvenate their facial features, a full facelift offers several benefits such as:
Comprehensive Results: While non-surgical procedures such as dermal fillers or injectables can only address lines or wrinkles, a full facelift can address sagging skin, deep lines, loss of definition, excess fat tissue, and other telltale signs of aging.
Increased Self-Esteem: Although the results of a full facelift are extremely natural-looking, they can help you achieve a dramatic increase in your self-confidence. By looking as young as you feel, you can feel more confident in your social and professional endeavors.
Discreet Scarring: Your plastic surgeon can perform a full facelift through incisions around the hairline, making scarring virtually invisible.
A full facelift is the best way to ensure predictable results and address virtually every age-related concern from your hairline to your neck. For this reason, patients who undergo facelifts are typically very happy with their results, and a study by the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery showed that 98 percent of patients who underwent a facelift felt that the procedure met or exceeded their expectations at their one-year follow-up.
What is the Recovery process of a Full Facelift Surgery?
After the procedure, patients should plan on resting and avoiding activity for about a week. You may experience temporary swelling, bruising, and tenderness, but any discomfort should be manageable with the medications prescribed by your doctor. Keeping your head elevated and limiting activity will aid in healing during the first week.
There will be sutures along the hairline, securely protected by heavy bandaging. Sutures and bandaging are usually removed after about five days.
Full recovery can take several weeks, depending on the extent of your surgery. Patients are usually able to return to their everyday routines in about 10 days. Post-operative appointments will allow your surgeon to monitor your recovery. You may experience some numbness following your surgery. This is normal and should subside in the following weeks.
What should I know the Day of the Procedure?
On the day of your surgery, you will be taken to a private surgical suite where a trained anesthesiologist will administer the ideal anesthesia for your case, ensuring you are comfortable throughout the entire procedure.
Once you are sedated, your surgeon will begin creating incisions.
The incisions run down in front of the ears and curve under the hairline, through these, your plastic surgeon can tighten underlying tissues and trim excess tissue. In some cases, liposuction may be used to remove excess fat tissue. Finally, the incisions are closed in a way that subtly tightens facial skin to restore youthful contours.
What are the Types of Facelift Surgeries?
Anyone who is unsatisfied with the appearance of loose, creased, or sagging facial skin may be a candidate for full facelift surgery. There are three primary kinds of facelift surgery: a full facelift, mid facelift, and mini facelift.
Patients whose primary concern is the appearance of the neck and lower face may be best suited for a mini facelift. If your primary area of concern is the middle of the face, such as the area under the eyes, smile lines, and a downturned mouth, a mid facelift may be a more appropriate treatment.
If you only wish to address wrinkling and other signs of aging in the brow, a brow lift may be your best option.
