What Common Procedures and Surgeries Are Included in a Facelift?

If you are considering a facelift, you may be curious about the most common procedures and surgeries associated with it. The response is that there are numerous options, and your facelift surgeon will discuss the optimal method for achieving your objectives. By removing superfluous facial tissue, a conventional facelift reshapes the lower half of the face. Additionally, it can eliminate deep creases around the mouth and nostrils as well as sagging skin under the jawline and neck.

A mini-facelift is a less invasive method for treating facial skin laxity and enhancing the jowls and neck. This procedure is ideal for patients who wish to address early indications of ageing without undergoing a complete facelift and can provide results that last up to a decade with a quick recovery time.

Smaller incisions are made along the hairline and above each ear to provide greater access to the underlying muscles and tissues. This blepharoplasty technique reduces the risk of hyperpigmentation.

Before your procedure, it is essential to discuss your aesthetic objectives with Dr. Turner, as he will personalize your treatment plan. In this manner, your aesthetic requirements and desires will undoubtedly be met.

Faces affected by jowls, sagging cheekbones, and nasolabial creases are excellent candidates for Mid-Facelift surgery. This procedure is less invasive and brief than a full facelift, and it can be combined with other facial rejuvenation operations for even greater results.

For a more youthful appearance, the midface lift tightens the underlying musculature and fat deposits. Additionally, it can aid in the reduction of nasolabial folds and marionette lines around the nostrils and cheekbones.

Several surgical techniques can be utilized to conduct a midface lift. Our plastic surgeons at LIMARP perform endoscopic mid-facelifts, which entail microscopic incisions behind the hairline and within the upper lip.

The cheekbones and eyelids are rejuvenated during an endoscopic midface lift by removing superfluous skin and tightening the muscle and fat pads. Endoscopic facelifts have a lower risk of scarring and are more efficacious than traditional facelifts.

A complete facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, addresses sagging skin in the areas of the cheekbones, jowls, neck, and jawline. This surgery tightens the tissue beneath the epidermis and removes excess skin.

Beginning the procedure, the surgeon will make an incision along the hairline, extending into the ear and around the bottom of the ear to the hairline on the back of the neck. Excess skin is removed from these areas, and sutures are used to tighten the underlying facial tissues.

The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) and platysma tissue layer are elevated and affixed to the mastoid bone with absorbable sutures in the cheek and behind the ear. Then, superfluous tissue from the upper and lower cheeks is removed. The outcomes are silky, young, and aesthetically appealing.

An S-Lift, also known as a mini-facelift, can correct modest to moderate jowls and neck laxity. It is an alternative to the more extensive and time-consuming traditional blepharoplasty.

This procedure employs the tumescent technique, which contains an anaesthetic to reduce pain and inflammation. Typically, patients can return to work a few days after their procedure.

Make an appointment with Dr Koch to determine if you are a suitable candidate for an S-lift. During the consultation, he will examine your epidermis and facial bone structure to determine your elasticity and volume requirements.

He will discuss your unique objectives and the appropriate surgical approach. He may suggest additional procedures to complement the S-Lift, such as fat transfer to augment natural facial volume or skin rejuvenation treatments for softer, firmer skin.
