Premature
aging can be hard to avoid, leaving many people with
the appearance of tired, washed-out facial features.
However, face lift surgery can help exhilarate your face,
making it look closer to the way you feel. The correction
of already-aged faces isn't the only reason to pursue
a face lift. San Francisco patients often pursue the
surgery, or a milder version of it, as a preventative
measure.
The procedure involves the placement
of an incision along the inside of the hairline, and
inconspicuously wrapping around the ear. Any excess
fat is removed, the remaining tissue and fat is
manipulated, face muscles are tightened, and remaining
skin is lifted to create a healthier, younger, more
rested facial contour. A face lift is a fantastic weapon
against droopy skin in the face and neck.
A face lift can certainly be performed
alone, but many San Francisco face lift patients enjoy
the complementary effects of combining it with facial
implants or a brow or forehead lift.
Risks:
When pursuing any surgical procedure, patients should
be aware of the risk of infection, bleeding, or reaction
to anesthesia. When it comes to face lift, specifically,
potential risks can include asymmetry, obvious scarring,
awkwardness in hairline, or nerve injury.
Recovery:
Face lift sutures are usually removed about 2 weeks
after surgery. Swelling can take several weeks to
go down. The final result usually takes about 4-6
weeks to develop, after which some minor changes
may continue.
