Considering Facial Rejuvenation?
Facelift Beverly Hills surgery is commonly performed to correct sagging along the jaw-line (known as jowls) and neck region (commonly referred to as the turkey-neck) says facial implants Beverly Hills surgeon. Progressive drooping of our facial skin and muscles causes these deformities. Traditionally a facelift would involve tightening only the skin component of the face and neck. The biggest drawbacks of skin only facelifts are somewhat unnatural appearing results with a “pulled back look”, poor scars, and shortly lived results. More advanced facelift techniques involve repositioning the deeper layer of tissue, known as the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System), which tightens the muscular layer beneath the skin says Nose surgery Beverly Hills expert. The benefits of a SMAS facelift are longer lasting results, a more natural appearance, and minimal scarring. Additionally, when a SMAS layer is used in a facelift, it can be repositioned separately from the skin, allowing us to perform a bidirectional facelift. This serves to correct different deformities, and provides optimal results. Due to the complexity of a SMAS facelift, many surgeons are not comfortable performing this type of procedure, and nor do they have the appropriate training to do so.According to facial implant surgeon Beverly Hills, facelifts are often performed in conjunction with eyelid and eyebrow surgery as part of a complete facial rejuvenation procedure. At the initial consultation, factors will be reviewed including:
- Patient medical history
- Patient goals
- Patient age
- Degree of laxity along the jaw and neck
- Degree of skin excess
- Depth of nasolabial folds from the nose to the corners of the mouth
- Presence of platysmal (muscle) bands in the neck
- Review applicable alternatives such as injectibles or laser treatments
Facelift surgery, like any medical surgery, may result in a complication. While the risk of complications is very low, it is important to report any possible complications and seek treatment. Some complications may be: infection, excessive bleeding, poor scarring, hair loss, elevated hairline, temporary or permanent numbness in select areas, eye irritation, the requirement of revision surgery. Most complications can be medically managed when treated in a timely fashion.
When you see a cosmetic surgeon for an initial consultation, you will have the opportunity to view before and after photographs of facelift patients to compare the type of results you might expect to see.
