The facelift is a delicate procedure that targets and can reshape your facial structure. In most cases, your facelift at New Birkdale will aim to remove excess skin, remove excess fat, tighten loose skin or tighten sagging muscles.
However, an initial consultation will help the doctors understand what you are trying to achieve and the best procedures for you.
Because of the delicate skin around the face, the recovery period can be significant after a facelift.
You will need home rest for approximately one week after the surgery and you should avoid strenuous activity for roughly one month. Most patients can return to work after two to three weeks.
To ensure you are confident about your improved appearance, it is recommended to avoid significant social arrangements for up to eight weeks.
There are many different types of facelift surgery. Choosing the right facelift surgery options can ensure you get the best results from your procedure.
Find out more about the types of facelifts (rhytidectomy) below and see which one could be the right choice for you.
This is the most basic facelift, it involves little more than a skin tuck.
First, the surgeon makes the standard facelift incision.
He then lifts and tightens the skin.
The wounds are then sutured. Occasionally, drains may be used.
The Mini-Lift has little if any effect on grooves running between the nose and mouth (nasolabial grooves). Depending on the amount of skin removed, the results may be more or less striking and consequently last for varying periods of time.
During this procedure, the surgeon lifts the deeper layer of muscle (the superficial musculo-aponeurotic system or SMAS) in addition to the overlying skin.
This allows the structures in the lower face and neck to be sutured to bone higher on the face, hence tightening the sling running around the lower face and chin/neck.
Any excess fat may also be removed.
In this extension to the conventional SMAS procedure, the surgeon lifts the whole of the skin and SMAS layer all the way to the nose, totally elevating it from the cheek structures beneath.
Consequently, the mid-face is improved considerably by this procedure, as are the nasolabial grooves.
This operation generally involves an extended SMAS lift, to which a browlift and possibly lower eyelid surgery are added.
This modern technique is a more extensive procedure.
Sometimes referred to as a Subperiosteal Facelift, the procedure involves a hair-band type incision, which is taken right down through the covering of the bone to allow the deeper layers of the face to be lifted.
Incisions are made within the mouth to release the structures of the cheek.
