Surgical Procedure
Procedure Incisions usually begin above the hairline at the temples, follow the natural line in front of the ear, and curve behind the earlobe into the crease behind the ear, and into or along the lower scalp so as to make scars nearly invisible.
In general, the surgeon separates the skin from the fat and muscle below. Fat may be trimmed or suctioned from around the neck and chin to improve the contour. The surgeon then tightens the underlying muscle and membrane, pulls the skin back, and removes the excess. Stitches secure the layers of tissue and close the incisions.
After deep tissues are tightened, the excess skin is pulled up and back, trimmed and sutured into place.

Duration of Operation
Three hours.
Risks and Complications
Complications that can occur include hematoma (a collection of blood under the skin), injury to the nerves that control facial muscles (usually temporary), infection, and reactions to the anesthesia. Poor healing of the skin is most likely to affect smokers. Most of the incision is concealed and not noticeable. It is most likely to be heavy behind the ear where there is greater tension.
After Care
Following surgery, a small thin tube may be temporarily placed under the skin behind your ear to drain any blood that might collect there. The surgeon may also wrap your head loosely in bandages to minimize bruising and swelling.
Recovery
The recovery takes one to two weeks. Most people are happy with the result and back to work within a week or two.
Result
Facial profile looks more youthful.
Hospital Admission
One night admission to hospital.
Anesthetic
General anesthesia (you are asleep)
Pre Operative Care

FAQ : Criteria
Who is a candidate for a face lift?
One or more of the following conditions may indicate that you are a good candidate for a face lift :
- A deep line, or fold, running from the corner of your nose to the corner of your mouth.
- Jowls, or loss of a well-defined jawline associated with youthfulness.
- Deep wrinkles in the cheeks and sagging of the "highlight" areas of the cheekbones.
- Loose skin, wrinkles, vertical "cords" or excess fatty tissue in the neck.
FAQ : Surgical Procedure
What is a face lift?
As we grow older the skin covering the fatty tissue on our faces begins to loosen and sag in various places. This loosening of skin produces wrinkles and enhances the skin folds of the face, especially around the jaw, chin and neck area. Rhytidectomy, or facelift, is a procedure that tightens the muscles and skin of face producing a younger looking appearance. In many cases a facelift is performed along with other procedures such as brow and forehead lifts, eyelid surgery, facial liposuction, chin augmentation and nose surgery.
Can surgery be done without scars?
The scars from facelift surgery usually fade and are barely perceptible. In some patients, especially younger ones, endoscopic surgery can be used to lift the eyebrows, remove frown lines, elevate the cheek and jowls, and tighten the neck. This endoscopic surgery can be done with tiny scars. However, if there is excessive skin, it must be removed for the best results through standard facelift incisions.
How is a face lift performed?
Because of individual factors, not everyone will achieve the same results from a facelift. Your plastic surgeon will select the surgical technique that he or she feels will obtain the best outcome for you.
Where are the face lift incisions placed?
Although there are many variations to the facelift procedure, generally an incision is hidden in the natural contour of your ear, then extends around the earlobe and back into the hairline. Following surgery, incisions can be easily concealed by your hair or with makeup. There may also be a small incision hidden underneath your chin.
Can I have other plastic surgery procedures of the face done at the same time as a face lift?
Yes, very often patients have their eyes or their brow done at the same time. If the surgery is warranted, the final result is uniform and balanced and there is only one recovery period. Some patients ask that their nose be touched up, because as we age, the tip of the nose can start to sag as well. Other patients find that they have lost volume in their lips as they've gotten older and request a fat transfer to bulk up their lips for a more youthful, pouty appearance.
I have terrible squint lines at the bridge of my nose. Will Face Lift surgery help these in any way?
The against line will be probably taken care of by eyebrow lifting and muscle transecting, the lump could be the scar tissue underneath the cheek skin.
FAQ : Result
What are some of the most common benefits of this surgery?
While this procedure cannot stop the aging process, it can often make a person appear to be a decade younger than their actual age. Facelifts are the fifth most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures in the United States.
How long does a facelift last?
No one can say for sure. The clock is turned back, but keeps on running. Ten years later, you will look better than if you never had surgery. Many patients never have a second lift, while others may desire further surgery seven to 15 years later.
FAQ : Pre Operative
How can I hide things during the time until I return to normal?
Your surgeon will discuss post-operative camouflage techniques with you prior to your surgery, but be assured that while almost everyone has some sort of temporary side effect such as bruising and swelling, there are makeup techniques that both men and women can use almost immediately to disguise them. Generally speaking, makeup techniques can be used soon after surgery to cover discolorations, and to hide incision lines after the stitches have been removed and the incision is completely closed. Camouflage cosmetics include three basic types of products: Concealers to hide incision lines and discolorations; contour shadows to disguise swelling; and color correctors to neutralize color in reddened skin. Color correctors disguise yellowish discolorations or the pinkness that follows chemical peel and dermabrasion. Lavender neutralizes or removes yellow, and green has a similar effect on red. It will take a little patience and practice to master camouflage techniques, but most post-op patients feel its well worth the effort.
How soon post-op can the hair be washed? If not for sometime, do you have any "dry shampoo" available there?
The nurse will wash the hair for you following day after surgery, then you can do normal hair wash.
