Face-lift

Face-lift surgery is a cosmetic procedure that involves removing sagging skin and tightening muscle tissue of the face and neck to counter signs of aging.

The purpose of face-lift surgery is to improve the appearance of the face by repositioning the skin and tightening some of the underlying muscle and tissue. The procedure is designed to treat sagging and looseness in skin and muscle tissue that becomes more visible with the aging process. Face-lift surgery will not eliminate all facial wrinkles. For example, wrinkles around the mouth and eyes may stay after face-lift surgery and additional procedures including blepharoplasty , chemical peel, botox injections, or dermabrasion may be necessary to achieve desired results.

A face lift takes about two hours and may be performed as an outpatient procedure.

After surgery, the head and face will be loosely bandaged to help reduce swelling and bruising. A drainage tube may be inserted behind the patient’s ear to prevent blood and fluid from collecting under the skin. Pain medication is usually used to make the patient feel as comfortable as possible following surgery.

Time of the treatment:
From 5 to 8 days
