Facelift To Reverse The Impact Of Ageing

Parts Consider For Facelift

A facelift can halt the aging process and make you look younger by almost 10 years. The visible signs of aging can be reversed to make the facial skin taught and glowing again. Easily perceptible changes that happen with the passage of time are loose and sagging skin around the neck, drooping eyelids, hollowed out cheeks, deep wrinkles and “laugh lines” around the corners of the mouth. All these are mainly due to the skin losing its elasticity. Once a face lift in Westlake Village is done, the effects will last for about 10 years. But then again, it depends on the age of the patient. A person having a facelift at, say at 60 years of age will be back faster for a repeat surgery than one who had it done when in the early fifties.

A basic face lift in Westlake Village will start with an incision made below the hairline and round the ears. The skin of the face will be peeled away and facial fat that has slipped down will be pulled up along with muscles and tissues. Extra skin will be cut and the remaining pulled back and sutured. This will naturally tighten and eliminate sagging skin on the face, giving it a glow of freshness. The surgery is carried out under general anesthesia and takes four to five hours to be completed depending on the complexities.

Since it is a full scale invasive surgical procedure, there will be a certain period of downtime due to swelling and bruising of the skin. It can last up to 3 weeks. However, depending on the recovery of the patient, it may be possible to resume work after about 2 weeks rest. It is best to go back to exercising and workouts slowly and steadily without rushing into it. Prolonged exposure to sun should be avoided for about 6 months. All these restrictions will be felt to be worth it when the full effects of a face lift in Westlake Village is seen in the mirror after about a couple of months.
