Intro To Facelift.

Are you ready to turn back the clock and get a more youthful-looking face? A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that can give your face a more youthful appearance by removing extra facial skin and reshaping the lower part of your face. In 2016, more than 107,250 women and 13,700 men underwent facelift surgery in the United States. So, it is an extremely popular surgery, and both men and women can have it. Facelift surgery divides into different types, such as full facelift, mid-facelift, and mini facelift. Your cosmetic surgeon will choose the technique or type that suits your needs.

Steps of Facelift

In most cases, facelift surgery is performed in an outpatient facility. Your surgeon may need anywhere from 2 to 5 hours to complete the surgery, and you can usually return home the same day. Facelifts have evolved substantially in recent decades as plastic surgeons continue to gain a better understanding of the features of the face. In short, the steps of facelifts usually involve the following:

1. Anesthesia

  • To reduce swelling and bruising, the doctor will put a bandage around your face and tell you how to care for your incision site.
  • Your surgeon may write a prescription for painkillers to relieve your pain.
  • You may need two weeks before returning to your usual activities.
  • Wait 4 weeks before engaging in more rigorous activities, such as exercise.
