Head and Neck

Facelift

Description of the procedure and the resulting effect

This method of rejuvenation offers several ways that the surgeon chooses or combines exactly as it will best benefit your face. In general, a facelift consists in tightening the skin, removing its excess in the face, and in surgical treatment of the superficial musculoskeletal system (SMAS) of the face. Usually the surgeon makes an incision from the temple area around the earlobe behind the outer ear. He/she removes excess skin and finally closes the small wounds with absorbable sutures and applies a sterile dressing along with an elastic sterile bandage.

Do not worry about visible scars. The resulting scar is thin, very inconspicuous, and difficult to notice. In the face area, the wounds generally heal better than on the body, because the face is more perfused.

Convalescence

After the procedure, the patient has a sterile bandage on his/her head. In 1–3 days, the drains are removed as needed and a bandage is no longer necessary. The sutures are removed in 7–10 days. After removing the sutures, it is advisable to lubricate the scar and start a pressure massage in the following week.

Pain during the first days can be eased by common analgesics. The swellings last for about 14 days, during which time it is necessary to stay in rest, not to lean forward and to avoid physical exertion. Usual office work is possible after a few days.
