A Simple Guide To Understanding Exactly What's Involved In A Face Lift
By Tim Gorman

One of the most common claims about celebrities as they age is that they've had a face-lift to try and maintain their youthful good looks. The reality is that as we get older, it shows on our face. Over the years our face gets weathered, and is exposed to gravity, the sun, pollution, stress and a whole lot more. That's why plastic surgeons are performing so many face-lifts. It's important to understand exactly what's involved in a face lift, if you're thinking of getting one, so that you can make an informed decision about whether or not a face lift is right for you.

Basically, the surgeon's job is to make you look younger. They use a number of different techniques to achieve this, including trimming away any excess fat that's accumulated around the face, and also tightening the facial muscles. Once this is done, the skin is draped back into place. Often, more than one procedure is conducted at the same time, with rhinoplasty (nose job) and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) being the most popular.

Generally, face lifts work best on someone who is already in reasonably good shape. This is because their facial skin is likely to have more elasticity, which helps to get good results from the procedure. Most face lift patients are between the ages of forty and sixty, but in reality a face lift can be performed regardless of age, and in fact people in their eighties have undergone this type of surgery.

A face-lift is a type of surgery, and like all surgery, there are potential risks. It's possible that hematoma may occur. This is when the blood pools underneath the surface of the skin. It may be necessary to have further surgery to relieve the problem. It's also possible for the facial muscles to become damaged during the surgery. The recovery process can be slow if the surgery doesn't heal well, and it's also possible for infection to occur.

If you're still thinking about having a face-lift, the first step is always to meet with the plastic surgeon and have a full discussion about the pros and cons of the surgery. You should tell the surgeon what you're hoping to achieve from the procedure, so that he or she can help you gain a realistic idea of the likely outcomes. The surgeon will also look at your face shape and evaluate whether or not you’re a good candidate for this type of surgery.

You need to understand, too, that there will be some permanent scarring as a result of your face-lift. The surgeon needs to make incisions in order to manipulate your facial muscles and remove excess fat, and these incisions will be across the length of the face. Most are near the hairline, which means they can be hidden by careful styling of your hair. It will take time, but eventually most of the scares will be hardly noticeable, and natural creases in the face may well hide them. Your face will also be swollen and bruise for a time after surgery, so the results won't be immediately obvious.

Despite the risks and the discomfort of the healing process, most people who undergo a face lift feel that it helps to turn back the clock for a number of years, and many people have another face lift years later in order to duplicate the effect and remain youthful.
