A facelift is a cosmetic procedure that tightens the facial skin and the underlying SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), the muscular or fibrous layer beneath the skin. This procedure primarily addresses signs of ageing in the mid and lower face. However, it does not address the forehead, brows, eyelids, or neck. Therefore, it is often performed in combination with one or more of the following procedures: forehead or brow lift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), neck lift, fat injections, chemical peels, or laser treatments.
For larger surgical procedures, an overnight stay may be required for observation.
A facelift improves the signs of ageing in the face and neck, but it is important to understand that it cannot stop the ageing process. Instead, it enhances certain features, such as:
•Deep lines or folds from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth (marionette lines)
•Jowls, or the loss of a well-defined jawline
•Deep wrinkles and sagging in the cheeks
•Loss of volume in the face
•Loose skin, wrinkles, vertical "cords," or excess fatty tissue in the neck
Additionally, it is crucial to recognize that no single procedure can correct all aspects of facial ageing.
