Facelift Surgery – The Fountain of Youth

September 2, 2010 at 1:19 pm , by admin

You don’t have to suffer the sight of wrinkles and deep lines on your face due to aging. The mythical fountain of youth is in fact closer to reality than ever. Facelift surgery will keep you fresh and younger looking regardless of age.

Keeping an attractive and younger looking appearance is desirable especially in a society where appearances and first impressions matter most. Nowadays, career advancement is not just determined by competence and knowledge but also by how others perceive you. This perception is pretty much dependent on how you look and how you come across to others.

Facelift surgery is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgeries to achieve a younger looking face. It is also known as rhytidectomy, which is a surgery performed to reduce facial wrinkles and give the face a more supple, tauter, and younger look.

Face lifts are usually recommended for aging women with clear signs of aging such as wrinkles, crows feet, deep lines, and sagging skin. If you fit the bill, then you may be a good candidate for the procedure. However, if your skin is still supple, another alternative may be more appropriate rather than going through the more invasive approach in facelift surgery.

A facelift may cost from $8000 to $10000, but if you elect to have cosmetic surgery abroad, the cost may be reduced up to 30-50%.

There are different types of facelift procedures. These are: lower face, mid face, Mini Weekend, and Thread face. The type of procedure will be determined by your needs and the placement of problem areas on your face.

Standard face lift is performed by making an incision in the hairline extending to the front ear, around the earlobe, all through out behind the ear up to the hairline. Thereafter, the muscles and sagging tissues are tightened and the skin is then repositioned and pulled tighter towards the face after the excess skin is removed. The incision is then closed either by stitches or attaching metal clips to bind the skin on the scalp.

Facelift surgery is an invasive surgical procedure that needs to be performed only by highly qualified and board certified surgeons. Extra care should be spent when choosing a surgeon to ensure the best results possible.
