Type and Techniques of facelift Surgery
There are many techniques of facelift surgery as well as the type of incisions and technique of tissue mobilization used in the facelift surgery.
A. SKIN INCISIONS
- Standard Facelift Incision
Incision located just behind the hairline, starting near the temples, and around the front of the ear, from below the ear and goes behind the ear and back into the hairline. It is hidden in the natural folds. When aging changes occurs at the neck, the associated neck shaping is planned.
2. Facelift With Short Incision
Incisions are located along the hairline above each ear and/or in the natural creases surrounding the ear. This kind of facelift surgery is performed when a patient is young and his/her skin quality is good.
3. Lower Facelift Incision
Lower Facelift surgery is performed by making the incision starts from below the ear and goes behind the ear and back into the hairline. Many times a patient has aging changes that occur in the neck area only.
B. TISSUE REPOSITIONING
- Subcutaneous Facelift
When there is a lot of extra skin and only extra skin and fat are elevated extensively just above the deep tissue, the extra skin is excised. This is quite easier to perform, but the result is compromised.
2. Standard Facelift Surgery
- It addresses moderate to advanced aging around the mid-face and neck.
- Further, the surgeon repositions the deeper tissue beneath the skin and removes excess skin to smooth creases, eliminate jawline and bsagging skin under the chin.
- Tissue repositioning is done by either placating or excising SMAS (Muscle & Facia). It restores a naturally youthful contour to the face and neck.
3. Short Scar Facelift
It is performed for young patients having a good-quality of skin and for those who don’t wish to have an incision behind the ear. The SMAS is either placated or excised. The neck is tucked either by liposuction or below chin incision is made, which depends on the need for the facelift surgery.
4. Macs Lift
A small incision is made and the LOP placation of the muscle facia is performed. There are 2 variations of MACS LIFT as follows:
- Simple Macs Lift: It improves the lower face & neck.
- Extended Macs lift: It is performed along with a lower face and neck, which also improves cheek and lower eyelids.
5. Endoscopic Facelift
Avoid visible scar when the patient is relatively young. It is specially performed for the patients who are seeking for mid-face correction. The deep plan stands deep to periosteum face tissue lift is done.
6. Lower Facelift Surgery
- Lower facelift surgery is performed by making the incision starts from below the ear and goes behind the ear and back into the hairline.
- It tightens the lower two-thirds of the face and any jowls that may have appeared at the jaw from sagging skin.
7. Ancillary Procedures
The variety of other procedures, which can further enhance the outcome of the facelift surgery, which include: –
- Facial implants or fat transfer to improve the contour
- Resurfacing techniques to improve the tone & texture of the facial skin
- Injection of fat fillers for wrinkle reduction
Assessing the problematic area:
On the day of the surgery, the discussion will be done again.
Your physical fitness is also evaluated and preoperative formalities are done.
Marking:
The Cosmetic surgeon will mark the face to use as guidelines in the procedure.
Anesthesia:
Medications are administered for the patient’s comfort during the surgical procedure. The choices include intravenous sedation or general anesthesia.
Infiltration:
The surgeon will inject a highly diluted fluid into the marked area to reduce blood loss.
Incision:
Generally, an incision is made that can be hidden in the natural contour of your ear, then extending around the earlobe and back into the hairline. Once they heal, they are hardly visible.
Through these discreet incisions, your surgeon will free the skin from the underlying tissue.
Tissue Reposition:
Deep tissue is manipulated and re-positioned into a natural, youthful location. This is pulled differently in each individual depending upon their facial characteristics and aging changes.
Here the aim is to achieve the best of results in the least traumatic way with minimum blood loss.
- Suture: The incisions will be closed with sutures that may dissolve or may need to be removed after a few days. Once healed, the incision lines from a facelift are well concealed within the hairline and in the natural contours of the face and ear.
After Surgery:
The incision areas are covered with gauze. You will be provided with pressure garments and post-surgical care instructions once you’ve awakened fully from the anesthesia. The Doctor and the surgical staff will be there to assist you.
Results & Testimonials:
The visible improvements in your face appear once after swelling and bruising subside. You will look younger and fuller. The result is permanent, but aging is an ongoing process.
