The Surgery
The facelift procedure is performed on a outpatient basis in our private surgical centre or in an outpatient surgical facility. Facelift surgery will take between 2 to 4 hours depending on the extent of the surgery. General anesthesia or twilight anesthesia with sedation is usually given to the patient immediately prior to surgery. Incisions are placed in the natural crease of the facial skin and begins inside the hairline, in the temple area above and forward of the ear.
It continues in the natural folds around the ear and the earlobe and behind the ear. After the skin incision is made, the skin is separated from the deeper tissues with a scalpel or scissors (also called undermining) over the cheeks, chin and neck. At this point, the deeper tissues (SMAS - fascial suspension system of the face) can be tightened with stitches, with or without removing some of the excess deeper tissues.
The skin is then pulled upwards and backwards and the amount of excess skin and fat to be removed is determined by feel. The excess skin is then removed and the skin incisions are closed with intradermal sutures . Facelifts work best in women with thin skin and good bone structure. They are best for eliminating loose skin folds in the neck and wrinkles in the cheeks. The areas not well corrected by a facelift include the nasolabial folds and marionette lines. A facelift leaves long scars. However, the portion of the scars in front of the ear are usually inconspicuous. The scar behind the ear is hidden from casual view. Hair loss in the portions of the incision within the hair-bearing scalp can occasionally occur.
Recovering from a facelift is a gradual process. Bandages are removed 1 or 2 days after surgery after which you can wash your hair. Pain is usually minimal and can be controlled with oral medication. Bruising and swelling may persist for 7 to 14 days. Sutures are removed after 7 to 10 days, depending on the patient. In two weeks you will feel more comfortable and make up may be applied. Exposure to direct sun should be avoided for several weeks.
