Face and Neck Lift Explained

The facelift is always performed in the operating room, under general or local anaesthesia with sedation.

The incisions are made in not visible areas and along wrinkles and natural folds of the face: an incision is usually made anteriorly and behind the ears and is extended to the area of the scalp that is located behind the ears (mastoid region). If it is needed to also treat the anterior and median area of the neck, a small incision is made under the chin. The skin is then detached from the underlying muscular tissues, which are then pulled.

Finally, the extra skin is removed and the wounds are closed with aesthetic sutures.

What to Expect from Face And Neck Lift

At the end of the procedure, if necessary, drainage tubes will be positioned to remove small bleeds, and a moderately compressive bandage will be used to limit swelling: draining and bandaging will be removed the day after surgery. The patient will have to wear a special dressing for a week after surgery. The stitches will be removed after 5-7 days.

Post-operative pain is usually moderate and however, easily controlled with painkillers.

Patients can return to normal life after approximately 2 weeks, refraining from sports activities for 5/6 weeks. The scars will be red for a few months and they can be easily hidden with makeup.
