Why do you have to choose facelift surgery?

As we age, our skin loses elasticity, as well as facial tissues, lose volume. It causes "jowls" on the lower face, deep wrinkles, and loose skin on the neck. While this is a normal part of aging, patients bothered by these signs of aging may find that a facelift is a good solution. If any of the following apply to you, you should think about getting a facelift:

●      Because of sagging skin, you are self-conscious about the appearance of your face and neck.

●      You wear turtlenecks and scarves not because you want to but to conceal your aging neck.

●      When you look in the mirror, you notice that your face makes you appear much older than you are.

●      You believe that your appearance of aging is affecting your career or personal relationships.

Patients frequently experience an increase in self-confidence by following a facelift because their appearance better reflects their healthy and energetic vibe.

Types of facelift surgery?

Facelift surgery is tailored to the needs of the patient, and a cosmetic surgeon will tailor his or her techniques accordingly.

Mini-facelift

This is a surgical facelift technique that employs small, inconspicuous incisions beneath the hairline to allow your surgeon to expertly tighten and smooth your skin while also removing excess tissue. A mini facelift is usually effective in reducing or eliminating the appearance of jowls. Jowls typically develop around the lower half of your cheeks and mouth as a result of decreased collagen production as you age.

 Cheek lift

A cheek lift, like a mid-face lift, is intended to enhance the appearance of the cheekbones while also removing or reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the mid-face area. A chin plastic surgery in Chicago can help you achieve the voluminous, uplifted appearance you desire while also removing under-eye puffiness and contouring nasal folds to make them less prominent.

Standard facelifts

It is also known as cutaneous facelifts and addresses issues in the neck and lower face. During the procedure, incisions are made around the ear and within the hairline to allow doctors to separate the skin from the underlying muscle. The surgeon removes excess skin and stretches the remaining skin to the incision point before closing with sutures. Because of the skin's ability to stretch over time, this technique is considered less durable than other facelift techniques that use muscle tightening.

Mid-facelift

The mid-facelift focuses on the midsection of the face, specifically the cheeks. However, unlike a cheek implant, implants are not added to the cheeks to plump them up. Your facial plastic surgeon will instead either remove excess tissue or use existing tissue to lift the cheeks, eliminate sagging, and remove fine lines and wrinkles. For patients who do not have jowls or marionette lines, the mid-facelift is highly recommended. It can, however, be performed in conjunction with procedures that remove jowls and marionette lines.

S-lift:

The S-Lift procedure is occasionally used to treat the lower third of the face (neck and jowls). To separate the skin from the underlying tissue, an s-shaped incision is used in this procedure. The skin is lifted so that the surgeon can tighten the muscles and tissue. Finally, sutures are used to close the incision. The S-Lift, like the mini-lift, is less invasive and requires less recovery time than the traditional technique.

Procedures may also be included in the Facelift

Patients frequently use the term "facelift" to refer to any type of cosmetic surgery on the face. As a result, many people believe that a facelift involves the entire face, including the chin, cheeks, brow, and eyes. You may also want to think about other cosmetic procedures to improve the overall results of a facelift, such as

●      Neck lift surgery

●      Eyelid plastic surgery in Chicago

●      Browlift surgery

A facelift, when performed by a skilled, board-certified cosmetic surgeon, is intended to produce results that not only look natural now but will also age naturally with you. While nothing can stop the natural aging process, you should always look years younger after a facelift than you would have without the surgery.

There are, however, some things you can do to keep your results looking their best. It is critical to maintaining a healthy, stable weight because significant weight fluctuations can cause the skin to stretch out again. You should also maintain a consistent, high-quality skin care regimen to keep your skin healthy and free of premature aging.
