term lift which translated means stretching, encompasses a wide variety of surgical procedures and techniques in cosmetic surgery. Technically known as rhytidectomy. Overall, the intervention is to: take off the skin of its underlying tissue to stretch and strain and put right direction, eliminate sagging, reduce wrinkles prominent and remove excess skin remaining.
The improvement and duration of the effects of this intervention, dependent on experience and skill of the surgeon also influences the quality and consistency of the skin and underlying tissues and bone structure and muscles of the face.
It acts both on the face and the neck.
The best results are obtained in people with early signs of facial aging, but whose skin still has elasticity and bone structure is strong and well defined. The age of most patients (men and women) is between 40 and 60, but the operation can be performed successfully in older people.
Development of the operation.
The facelift can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia and sedation. The operation is usually performed first on one side of the face and then the other (some surgeons work both sides at once). The incisions may vary according to each patient and the characteristics of the intervention. The most common incision is located on the scalp at the temple, continuing downward along a natural line in the prominent part of the ear lobe is in front, then behind the ear. This incision can be modified depending on various factors: the existence of previous scars, the presence of very fine hair, lack of whiskers, etc.. Occasionally may require a small incision under the chin to access the fat in the chin or to act in the neck muscles. The skin is separated from the underlying tissue and excess skin removed.
Sometimes the best result for the operation involves the dissection and replacement of the deeper levels (muscular and fascial areas), requiring more intervention time and more knowledge and skill of the plastic surgeon.
The operation requires 4 to 6 hours depending on the procedure used. The closure of the incisions are made using very fine sutures that are partly hidden inside the hair and partly along the natural lines and creases. Sometimes staples are used in the area of the scalp to close the incisions. It may be necessary to place the first day a padded bandage with cotton and gauze. This bandage left uncovered eyes, nose, mouth and part of cheeks, covering the areas of skin punctures and neck.
Usually discharged to 24/48 hours of surgery and the person leaves home without dressing.
There is a limit to the tension that can be applied to the skin, excessive stress compromises the blood supply to tissues and gives an unnatural appearance and a short-term effect.
Depending on the elasticity of the skin, this is stretched a little in the immediate postoperative period, once restarted the movements and facial gestures. Thus the final result of the operation takes a few weeks to begin to look.
The front Lifting or Rhytidectomy, is the intervention that is performed to correct the signs of aging in the area for the upper third of the face (forehead and eyebrows).
With this intervention drooping eyebrows rise, and cancel or reduce the wrinkles on the forehead and eyebrows. The forehead lift, muscles and skin that cause the problem are removed or treated, achieving a smoother forehead, eyebrows higher and minimizing wrinkles.
Forehead Lift Often combined with a facelift and / or blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) to get a better result.
In most patients, the incision is made in the highest area of the scalp. If you have a broad forehead, posts, or little hair or very thin, could be that the incision is made at the hairline in order to prevent your face look wider still. The bangs can hide most scars.
The skin of the forehead is carefully detached, with the muscle beneath it and the excess tissue removed. The skin is stretched upwards and removing the remaining area.
Broad scar may occur if excessive tension and loss of hair along the edges of the scar. This can be treated by excision of scar tissue or areas with hair loss
