Eliminate Years of Aging with a Facelift
A full, or traditional, facelift is considered the only real option for those who want to significantly turn back the clock on visible signs of aging. A traditional facelift addresses the area from the forehead to the neck, which is where these signs become most apparent.
An cosmetic surgeon will address these specific issues:
Deep creases on the face
Sagging facial skin
Facial fat pockets
Scowling lines
How can a facelift improve my appearance?
Deep creases and sagging skin can be restored by tightening not only skin, but underlying muscle. The tightened muscle restores a youthful firmness to the face, as well as the use of a volume-producing injectable.
Fat pockets or jowly neck and cheeks often benefit from a liposuction technique that restores youthful contours to the jawline.
Scowl lines and ‘glowering’ or lowered eyebrows can be lifted and to get a smooth, pleasant expression restored.
What to know about getting a facelift
A typical facelift performed starts surgically at the temples and continues along the curve of the ear, reaches under and behind the ear and then within the hair at the back of the neck.
The SMAS or submuscular aponeurotic system is utilized. The skin is peeled back and the muscle beneath is tightened, lifting and adding volume to an aging, sagging face.
In the past, surgeons simply tightened facial skin, sometimes resulting in the ‘windswept’ dead-giveaway look of a face lift. Today a facelift involves the latest surgical procedures available, to result in a naturally younger, fresher facial appearance.
Recovery time after a facelift
A full facelift requires at least two weeks of recovery. It is essential to plan this recovery time before scheduling your facelift in New York City. It may take a few months for swelling to disappear and for bruises to fade.
A facelift can produce the smooth, firm, vibrant look of youth, subtracting years from a person’s appearance naturally.
