The facelift or rhytidectomy is a surgical intervention to repair skin that ages over the years. This is due among others to prolonged exposure to the sun or stress. The areas where this aging is most noticeable is on the face and neck where the furrows and folds cause definition to be lost.
The facelift does not take away years but it helps to improve the appearance and restore light and tone to the skin, giving an effect of vitality and rejuvenation.
For this intervention there are different ways to perform it, so the day we come to speak with the surgeon he will advise us which would be the ideal for our specific case.
Before the operation, a thorough medical examination is essential to rule out any type of contraindication to treatment. The plastic surgeon will give us a step by step for both before and after and will inform us of all the relevant aspects of the intervention so that we are calm.
It is very important that on the first visit you notify the surgeon of your habits such as smoking, regularly ingesting alcohol, some medication, ...
This surgical intervention can be performed both with local anesthesia or sedation and in more delicate patients that the operation is more complex, general anesthesia could be used. Depending on the area you want to work on or the complementary techniques, the surgical process may vary.
It is performed in a single intervention and consists of repositioning the muscle, skin and fat layers to be able to eliminate the passage of time with incisions in the earlobe, around it and in the scalp to make the scar as concealed as possible since in this way it is hidden. If what is going to work is the neck area, this incision is made under the chin.
Not only is it a surgical operation that improves skin level, by working on bone, muscle and fat structures, a more natural and lasting result is achieved.
The postoperative period is not painful and with analgesics possible discomforts are avoided, in just a couple of weeks you will be able to return to your daily routine.
