Facelift Surgery – Get a More Youthful Appearance

According to a study published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, patients who underwent facelift surgery were rated an average of 12 years younger after the procedure. As you age, wrinkles, folds, smile lines, and loss of muscle tone appear on your face. The skin loses its elasticity and becomes loose, and fat deposits accumulate in some areas of the face and diminish in other areas such as the cheeks. Performed with advanced technologies, a facelift in New York is the best way to slow down these signs of aging and achieve a more youthful appearance.

A facelift or rhytidectomy slows down the aging process and creates a more youthful facial appearance. The procedure can reduce sagging and folds in the cheeks, imbalances in the distribution of facial fat, a lax jaw line, excess fat and sagging skin on the neck and all other changes that occur in the face as part of aging.

Profits:

• The procedure reduces all those changes that occur in your face due to aging, leaving your skin firmer, smoother and fresher.

• Redistributes facial fat and firms the skin.

• Reduces folds, smile lines, wrinkles and sagging skin.

• Eliminate deep wrinkles under the lower eyelid.

• Excess fat is removed and the underlying muscles tighten.

• Eliminate double chins that hide the jaw line.

• General improvement in your appearance

Basic procedure:

• Anesthesia: depending on the technique used, you will be administered general anesthesia or local anesthesia.

• Options: Depending on your needs, your options include a traditional face lift, a limited incision face lift, a face lift plus a neck lift.

• Incisions: The incisions made will depend on the techniques used and your preferences.

• Incision closure: The incision may be closed with a stitch that can be dissolved or removed after a few days. Some surgeons use skin glues to seal the incisions. After healing, the incision lines are well hidden within the natural contours of the face and ear.

• Results -Your results can be seen only after the swelling and bruising subsidy. Recovery normally takes 2 weeks and vigorous activity requires 4 weeks.

Facelift in New York with advanced minimally invasive techniques

At leading New York practices, skilled plastic surgeons perform facelifts using advanced minimally invasive liposuction modalities that do not require large incisions unlike conventional rhytidectomy. The procedure is performed using the following FDA-approved modalities:

• BodyTitle (radio-assisted)

• SmartLipo Triplex (laser assisted)

• VASERlipo (ultrasound assisted)

The right age for a facelift

It is difficult to pin down the right age to undergo a facelift because people of the same age can have different lifestyles with factors such as smoking, diet, sun exposure, etc. that influence the aging of the skin. However, if you are 40 years old and you think a facelift will help you, don’t expect too much. As you age, you can still achieve optimal results if you are in good health and physically fit.

Good Candidates for Facelift Surgery

A facelift procedure for men will highlight the natural male characteristics of the patient, while a facelift procedure for women will aim to provide an attractive appearance. If you are the right candidate, you can achieve optimal results with the procedure. Good candidates are:

• People with concerns about sagging, smile lines, wrinkles, etc. due to aging

• Healthy people who do not have medical conditions that heal strangely.

• No smokers

• People with a positive outlook and realistic expectations.

Recovery

After the procedure, a bandage will be placed around your face to minimize swelling and bruising. If there is excess blood or fluid, small tubes can be placed to remove it. You will be given instructions for caring for the surgical site and drains, what medications to apply or take by mouth, and when to follow up with your plastic surgeon.
