Modern Facelift Surgery for Men and Women

Facelift or rhytidectomy (from the Greek Rhytis – wrinkle, ectomia – delete) is a facelift by means of plastic surgery. This procedure is leading for the correction of age-related charges associated with the lowering and sagging cheeks, eyebrows, infraorbital area, forehead or the formation of excess skin in the chin area. Surgical intervention consists in the redistribution of face and neck with the removal of its excess. With a deep facelift is also removed excess fat and muscle to be pulled up.For the operation, usually resorted to when the patient is not enough effect on the use of injections or fillers or desirable longer-lasting (at rhytidectomy he saved up to 10 years). Most often, the operation after doing 45, but she successfully carried out and after 70, and even after 80 years.

However, some experts believe that for such operations is important not the patient’s age and condition of his face, and the operation carried out at the age of 30 – 35 years, leads to very good and long-lasting aesthetic results.  Incision in this case, makes the hair across the scalp, or just under the hairline above the forehead and down to the temples. The incision is usually started in the hair above the ear, lower down the front of the ear, are around the ear and behind the lift up the hair so as to hide the scar. Then the skin is separated, pull, cut off the excess and hem. Separately make lifting the forehead and eyebrows. Selecting the way to lift depends on the age structure of the face and other features of the patient. The most modern is an endoscopic facelift. The use of endoscopic equipment makes the operation much less traumatic, since it suffices to cut only 3 – 4 cm long. Accordingly, the quicker rehabilitation, and hide the scar a lot easier. The endoscopic facelift is shown at a younger age and in the event that there is no need to tighten the skin on the neck.

In men, surgery is particularly so as the skin on the face thickness, is not plastic, as in women, in addition, may shift the line of growth of beard. Contraindications for such operations are: diabetes, bleeding disorder, any somatic disease (diseases of internal organs), severe form.The operation is performed under local anesthesia using large doses of tranquilizers or under mild general anesthesia. After the operation, possible swelling and minor bruising, but after 3 weeks, patients feel quite comfortable and do not need in a home mode. The final result is evident in six months.Slight pain in the first postoperative day, feeling the tension of lung tissue and reduction of skin sensitivity cheek and neck – this is normal. The main cast is removed after a day or two after surgery. During this time you wash your hair and take a shower. Easy supporting bandage can be used for about a week.

Sutures are removed sequentially, to minimize scarring. Finally, sutures are removed in 10-12 days after surgery. At the same time, you can restore a normal social activity. Healing takes place in stages. Within 3-4 weeks is not recommended to tan and dye your hair, massage the face and deal with heavy sports. A person comes back to normal in 10-12 weeks. 3-6 months post-surgery scars are lighter and become almost unnoticeable.

Result of the operation lasts for many years, but this process has several stages and in the first few weeks after the surgery to happen a little relaxation of facial soft tissues. Naturally, the operation does not stop the aging process; it removes only the visible effects of age-related changes. Your lifestyle, skin type, the state of bone structures, the negative impact of solar radiation and other environmental factors, smoking and heredity – all this determines the effect of the operation and its duration.The general rule is that in younger patients the effect of the operation lasts longer. If you are between 40 and 50 years old, you can count on saving effect of up to 10 years. If you are over 60 years, the result usually lasts from 5 to 7 years. On the other hand, there is nothing improbable in the fact that after rhytidectomy 50-year-old woman looks like a 30-year-old.
