The facelift begins with strategic incisions around the ears and, in some cases, on the scalp, allowing access to reposition muscles and remove excess skin. With anesthesia, the result is a firmer and rejuvenated face, enhancing the appearance by addressing sagging and wrinkles. The surgery is tailored to each patient's needs, and incisions are closed with sutures or surgical adhesives, depending on the case.
The mini facelift is a smaller and less extensive aesthetic procedure than the standard facelift. It focuses on addressing early signs of aging, such as sagging along the jawline and cheeks, through shorter incisions. This procedure provides noticeable results with a faster recovery, making it a popular choice for those seeking specific aesthetic improvements with less invasion.
Includes: Surgeon's fees, surgical equipment, operating room, and one-night hospital stay. Additionally, post-surgical follow-up appointments necessary until discharge are also covered.
Not included: Post-surgical garments, pre-operative tests, lymphatic drainage massages (facial), and necessary medications.
Ideal candidates for a facelift are those who exhibit noticeable signs of facial aging, such as sagging and wrinkles, and seek significant improvements in their appearance. Typically, they are over 40 years old, although the age may vary based on individual needs. It is important for them to be in good physical health and have realistic expectations about the procedure's results. An evaluation with a certified cosmetic surgeon is crucial to determine the patient's suitability.
The main difference between a mini facelift and a standard facelift lies in the extent and scope of the procedure. While the standard facelift addresses multiple areas of the face, such as the forehead, cheeks, and neck, the mini facelift focuses on specific areas, such as the jawline and cheeks. The standard facelift is more invasive, with longer incisions and a more extended recovery period, recommended for advanced signs of aging. On the other hand, the mini facelift, being less extensive with shorter incisions, is suitable for younger individuals or those with early signs of aging, providing noticeable results with a faster recovery. The choice between the two procedures depends on individual needs and aesthetic goals.
Yes, facelift surgery can leave scars, but they are typically virtually imperceptible. Incisions are commonly made along the hairline, as well as in the areas in front of and behind the ear.
The medications recommended after facelift surgery include pain relievers for pain management and antibiotics to prevent potential infections.
The risks and potential complications associated with facelift include bleeding, risk of infection, inflammation, hematoma formation, development of seroma, and, in smokers, issues related to healing and blood circulation may arise.
