What Is a Face Lift?
A face lift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a face plastic surgery procedure which treats loose skin of the face and neck, restoring a smoother, more youthful appearance. During the procedure, the underlying tissues and muscles are tightened and excess fat is removed.
What are some of the benefits of a face lift?
A face lift can make a person appear younger and fresher by minimizing the visible signs of aging. As with many other cosmetic procedures, patients often benefit from increased self confidence as well.
Who is a good candidate for a face lift?
Ideal candidates for facelift surgery include men and women who have a strong, well-defined bone structure and good elasticity of the skin, though the facial skin has begun to sag. As with any surgical procedure, patients should also be realistic in their expectations and fully aware of the risks and benefits of the surgery.
Will there be scarring? If so where will the scars be located?
Some scarring is unavoidable, but is usually hidden in the hairline, behind the ears or under the jaw line. The surgery is individual to your needs and your Möcelle Edan plastic surgeon can discuss with you the techniques that he uses. Endoscopic procedures involve tiny scars hidden in inconspicuous areas.
How long does a Face Lift last?
It is hard to say, but normally a Face Lift can last about 5 - 10 years. Of course, every case is individual and you will look younger regardless. This procedure can not stop you from aging but can lessen the appearance of your general sagginess and/or lines. Patients have shown up to a 7-12 year waiting period before choosing to undergo additional rejuvenation procedures.
