| Face Lift |
|
It is a type of cosmetic surgery procedure which is used to give a more youthful appearance and improve the overall appearance of the face and jaw area which gives pleasant looks. It is basically used to reshape or contour the lower two-thirds of the face. It's the most striking way to remove or reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging caused by age. A face-lift won't stop the aging process, but it can help you achieve a firmer, fresher looking face. It usually involves the removal of excess facial skin, with or without the tightening of underlying tissues. The harmful effects of time, stress, and the elements can be reversed by facelift. It can be done either alone or in conjunction with Forehead lift or Eyelid surgery. |

| Technology |
| A face-lift is designed to reduce wrinkles and sagging skin on the face, under the chin and along the jaw line. The reason for making this incision is to hide it in the hair and make it as inconspicuous as possible. During the procedure, a surgeon will make incisions around your ears and hairline to help reduce the appearance of scars. The skin is then lifted up, facial and neck muscles are tightened, and excess skin is removed to give you a defined profile. After the incision is made, the skin is being separated from the deeper tissues with a scissors over the cheeks and neck. Then deeper tissues can be tightened with sutures, with or without removing some of the excess deeper tissues. The excess skin is then removed, and the skin incisions are closed with sutures and staples. |
