Fundamentals of Cosmetic Surgery: What You Should Know About Facelifts Surgery
By Nathalie Fiset

If you are considering having a facelift, you have to know what you're getting yourself into. A cosmetic facelift surgery is no joke. It must be taken seriously. A facelift, scientifically known as rhyidectomy, is an operation which lifts the facial skin and its issues with the muscles underneath in order to make the face smoother and tighter.

As we grow older, the muscles on our faces slag off and the skin becomes looser and less elastic. Folds and lines become visible. A facelift reduces the wrinkles and saggy skin. Plus, it gives off a youthful and more vibrant appearance. The procedure is either a full facelift or done on the whole face. Sometimes it is just conducted within a specific area like the lower face, neck or brow.

Face lifts last for seven to ten years. Best results are with people who are able to maintain their ideal and stable body weight. This is because their skin can adjust well with elasticity and their bones have nice structure. For the older people, those who spend much time under the sun, the effects of face lift last a shorter time.

If you are not keen on the idea of having a face lift, there are other alternatives. These are:
- Resurfacing techniques that reduce wrinkles.

- Tissue augmentation that plumps out the wrinkles

- Anti-wrinkle injections or botox

- Creams, beauty treatments and gels with an advertisement claiming that these tighten the user's skin.

However, if facelifts is the way to go, here are the important points you have to know about the facelifts surgery procedure.

Before the facelift, the surgeon discusses how you can prepare for the operation. You will have to give up smoking. Smoking heightens the risk of infection. It also slows down healing of wounds. It also increases the blood clots in the legs. You will also be asked to stop taking medicines like anti-inflammatory prescriptions and aspirins two weeks prior the operation. If you do not stop, this can heighten the risk of bleeding.

Before you go through the operation, talk to your surgeon about it. Make sure that they ask you to sign a consent form. When you do, this means that you comprehend the benefits, risks and alternatives to the whole operation. It also means that you gave them the go signal for the surgery. The surgeon will then examine your face by taking a photograph before the surgery. This will be compared to the after-results. If you are to be given anesthesia, you will be asked to not eat or drink six hours beforehand. But there are some anesthetists who lets you sip water once in a while two hours before the procedure.

The operation lasts for about three to four hours. After the procedure, the patient is required to stay in the hospital for a night or two. There are various facelift techniques. Let your surgeon explain each choice that is appropriate for you.

First and foremost, in the typical facelift, when the anesthesia kicks in, the surgeon cuts around the headline and past the ears. The cuts are also made under the chin, that is if you prefer to lift up your sagging jaw. Skin is then carefully separated from the muscles located underneath the face. The excess fat is removed and the muscles are tightened. This lifts up and pulls back the skin. Excess skin is trimmed off. Afterwards, it is stitched back to where the cut was originally made.

Your face is wrapped tightly in bandages at the end of the entire procedure. The bandages may run beneath your chin, around the ears or even on op off your head. These are usually taken off after a day or two. Stitches are removed when five to ten days have gone by. You can ask for painkillers when anesthesia wears off. Before you are discharged, your surgeon or your nurse will advise you on how to care for your face. This includes bathing and hygiene.

You can apply a cold compress like an ice bag or bag of frozen food wrapped in a towel to lessen the bruising and swelling. Never apply the ice directly to the skin because this will result to ice burn.

Here are the points to remember when you are recovering from a cosmetic surgery.
- You must keep your head elevated for two days in order to reduce the swelling

- Do not bend or strain yourself too much

- As much as you love these places, do not go to massage parlors or saunas for two weeks at least

- Do not stay under the sun for too long for the next couple of weeks.

Do not rush yourself when deciding whether you'll get a cosmetic operation or not. Discuss it with your doctor who can recommend credible surgeons. Most importantly, do the procedure because you yourself want to, not because you feel like you have to please people. The need and want for cosmetic facelift surgery must start from within and not from surrounding influences.
