Facelift (Rhytidectomy)
What is Facelift (Rhytidectomy)?:
A facelift is an extremely popular surgical technique which offers a way to smooth facial lines and rejuvenate the appearance of the face. Both women and men can benefit from facelift surgery. Wrinkles affect both equally and the procedure is popular with men as well as women for rejuvenating the appearance of the face. Today’s facelifts usually extends below the skin to reposition underlying facial muscles, tighten saggy skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and reduce excess skin.
Who is a Good Candidate for Facelift (Rhytidectomy)?:
A good candidate is a person at least on their 30’s and in overall good health. As with all medical procedures, a consultation with a local surgeon will help you find out if you are a good facelift candidate.
How is a Facelift Performed?
Facelift surgery is an outpatient procedure and recovery time is modest. The procedure is performed by separating the facial skin from the tissues beneath. From here, the facelift surgeon is able to remove excess skin and re-drape the facial skin in a way that gives the face a more youthful look. After the skin is repositioned, the facelift doctor sutures the incisions near the front and back of the ear, leaving inconspicuous scars. Oftentimes, extra skin is removed from the neck as well. Some patients add other surgeries such as eyelid lifts or brow lifts to a facelift to address multiple aging locations on the face.
Facelift Recovery & Downtime:
Recovery from a facelift is not long, but will require a short absence from everyday life. Done as an outpatient procedure, a facelift requires a number of weeks to heal. Immediately after surgery, a patient will be bruised and swollen, and this takes one to two weeks to recede. In general there will be some swelling after a facelift procedure and some mild pain. The patient will be asked to wear special bandages that will protect the places where the facelift incisions where made. Also, about one week after the surgery the patients should return to their surgeon for a follow up consultation. Usually in this consultation they surgeon evaluates the evolution of the patient and may take out the stitches.
The patient may return to more normal activity within three weeks of their facelift procedure, but must wait about six weeks before returning to active physical activity where there’s a chance of contact. The final look appears by week four, but may take several months to a year to fully set. Recovery time for a facelift varies based on the health of the patient and adherence to the post-surgery regimen prescribed by the doctor.
