Face Lifts: The What, The How, & The Why

  • May 28, 2021

In this day and age, we live much of our life online. So, whenever you treat yourself to a new haircut or buy an expensive dress, all you want to do is show it off to the world.

But do you notice that you need multiple Instagram filters before you get a post-worthy picture? 

Do you look tired in pictures or have saggy skin? 

If you nodded yes to either, then what you need is facial rejuvenation to turn back time and eliminate lines on your face. Luckily, facelifts are the solution to these problems.

What Is A Facelift?

Simply put, a facelift is a procedure often performed for aesthetic or cosmetic reasons and involves surgically altering and pulling back the skin folds on the face, creating stronger contour lines and a more youthful appearance.

A facelift helps you turn back the clock and remove visible signs of aging from your face quickly and effectively.

Whether you are looking to remove excess fat, smooth your skin, or tighten underlying facial muscles, a facelift is the procedure to choose.

However, it would be best to remember the limitations of any cosmetic procedure. The natural aging process can’t be halted completely, but your face will look fresher and younger with a facelift.

Why Do You Need A Facelift?

Of course, you don’t want to run to the surgeon at the first sign of aging. But some signs may indicate that it’s time to schedule a consultation to see if a facelift is right for you.

  1. Your jowls have started to appear on your face
  2. Your well-defined jawline just doesn’t accentuate your face anymore.
  3. If your high cheekbones have lost their definition
  4. If wrinkles appear

If these are things you’ve noticed, then it’s time to book an appointment with a trained professional and discuss having a facelift.

 

What Can You Expect Before, During, And After Your Facelift?

Of course, having surgery on any part of your body is scary, more so if it’s your face. However, if you’re informed from start to finish, the entire process may not be so daunting.

Learning about the procedure will help you feel more comfortable and ready when the time is right.

Below are the basic steps:

1.  Before The facelift

The procedure sometimes requires sedation or the administration of a local anesthetic. Sometimes it’s recommended to get a general anesthetic so you’re asleep throughout the facelift. Your doctor will assess you and determine which sedation technique is best and most safe.

2.  During The facelift

This cosmetic surgery usually includes the tightening of underlying muscles and tissues, as well as the elevation of your skin. Your face will be sculpted and structured as per your preferences and desired outcomes. Next, your facial skin will be re-wrapped over the new contours. Voila! Your skin will be reborn!

Another important thing that you should know is that incisions will be made as per your preferences. You will be able to choose from three main types of incisions, which include a limited incision, a traditional facelift incision, and a neck lift incision.

The time it will take for the doctor to complete the facelift is generally two to four hours. However, it may take longer if you are undergoing multiple cosmetic treatments at the same time.

3.  After Your facelift

Once the cosmetic procedure is completed, you’ll look in the mirror and see a younger, more radiant version of you.

You’ll get a boost of confidence and feel like you’re on cloud 9.

However right after the procedure, there may be some post-operative swelling, numbness, moderate to mild pain, bruising, and drainage from the incisions.

But don’t panic; these are natural after a facelift and will subside in no time at all..

Final Word

We hope you’ve learned a few things about facelifts and are excited about the prospect of looking and feeling younger. So, what are you waiting for? Pick up your phone and make a call to a trusted local surgeon near you!
