Over the years, and through other changes, the structure of the skin alters. This leads to sagging of the lower cheeks, slackening of muscles and tissues, wrinkles in the face and deep grooves. A facelift is performed to restore these sagging areas to a lively, radiant state.
If necessary, procedures such as a brow lift, eyelid surgery and a neck lift can be carried out at the same time. This surgery can give the face a pleasing harmony. There are several types of facelift surgery. The skin incisions are the same, but the anatomical layers that are worked on differ. What exactly is needed for a correction and which technique is chosen depends on the needs of the face and neck and on the wishes of the individual.
If a neck lift correction is also required, it can be carried out at the same time without an additional skin incision. In this way, sagging, fat deposits under the chin and wrinkles in the neck can also be corrected.
The problems of the face and neck are different for every patient, so correctly diagnosing the problems is at least as important as the surgery itself. In some cases, the sagging in the face and neck area can be removed with liposuction alone. Sometimes tissue injections (protein) are enough to make the face look younger and more lively. With facelift procedures (facial rejuvenation surgery), the person takes on an appearance of about 10 years younger.
Is there a scar on the face after a facelift?
The skin incisions for facelift surgery are made in the scalp, behind the ear and along the line where the cheek meets the ear, so the scars are not visible.
