Q- What aesthetic surgical procedures are performed to improve the aging face?
There are various degrees and stages of facial aging that can be caused by the natural
aging process, heredity, and lifestyle choices. Plastic surgeons have undergone training
to address all areas of facial rejuvenation. A face lift tightens and lifts the redundant skin
in the face and neck. Additional procedures are available to improve the aesthetics of the
forehead, eyes, mouth, chin and neck. Minimally invasive endoscopic techniques are also
available. Fine wrinkles of the face may be best treated by skin resurfacing techniques, like
laser resurfacing, chemical peels or other skin care treatments.
Q- How is a face lift done?
Ans- During a face lift incisions are made in the hair line, temple region extending down
in front of the ear and then around the back of the ear into the hairline. These incisions
vary depending on the technique used by your plastic surgeon. Many plastic surgeons are well
trained in more than one face lift technique. The skin of the face and neck is dissected into
the cheeks and neck allowing it to be mobilized upward producing a tightening and
smoothing result. Many plastic surgeons can now also tighten the muscular layers underneath
the skin as well during a face lift procedure. Years of specialized training are necessary
to safely perform this procedure. The results can be subtle or drastic depending on the condition
of the facial area prior to the surgery and the desired results.
Q- Does a face lift leave scars?
Yes, but as with other scars plastic surgeons have been trained to place them in areas that
are very inconspicuous. Your plastic surgeon will be able to show you exactly where your
scars will be following your surgery. Normally your hair will cover up most of the scars and
makeup can touch up any leftover marks.
