As people age the weakening of facial muscles
and underlying tissues takes place. Often times the aging
process is expedited by the effects of gravity, excessive
sun exposure, and even the daily stresses of life. Some
people may feel that the effects of nature has given them
an older, more “worn” and “tired”
look, which does not accurately portraits their vitality
and health.
A Los Angeles facelift surgery allows people to restore
a more youthful and refreshed appearance. The facelift surgery
itself involves the removal of excess fat and skin, the
tightening of muscles and the subsequent readjustment of
the facial skin. Most people considering a facelift surgery
experience deep lines or folds in the jowl area, loose skin
around the neck, and fat accumulation under the chin (double
chin). Other “problem areas” are drooping eyelids
and the formation of frowns on the forehead, which can be
addressed thru eyelid surgery and a brow lift.
Depending on the type of facelift surgery performed, the
plastic surgeon will usually make a tiny incision in the
hairline and around the natural curves of the face. During
this process the skin and underlying tissues will be tightened,
any excess skin or fat will be removed to improve the facial
contour and the sutures (stitches) will be applied. The
face lift surgery may be performed using local or general
anesthesia depending on the extent of the procedure. The
procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, which means
the patient can return home the same day. The subsequent
bruising or swelling usually subsides within two weeks after
the face lift procedure. Generally speaking, patients usually
report a speedy recovery and experience great satisfaction
from their new and rejuvenated look.
