| Facelift
Improvement of the jowls, cheeks, and neck can be obtained
with a facelift. Incisions are made in front and behind the ear
and in the temporal hairline. An additional incision beneath the
chin may be required if necessary to further improve the neck. A
two layer facelift is most commonly formed because facial aging
is seldom as result of skin laxity alone. Elevation and
redirection of the internal facial fat layer (SMAS) allows for
upward redistribution of facial fat to obtain a more youthful
appearance. Recovery from facelift surgery involves a two week
period of swelling and bruising that subsides gradually over
that period of time. After stitches are removed at the end of
the first week postoperatively, many patients may begin to wear
makeup which conceals the bruising. |
