Face Lift (Rhytidoplasty)

Rhytidoplasty or a face lift is a set of cosmetic procedures executed with surgical precision that removes wrinkles, sagging skin, or fatty deposits on the face and neck for a more youthful appearance.

Deflated Face

Facial deflation causes thinning lips, deepening creases around the eyes and mouth and hollowed out cheeks making you look aged and worn out. Correcting a deflated face involves a well-planned combination of procedures including the use of fat injections and/or fillers to make you look youthfully smart.

High SMAS Lift

The high SMAS or high superficial muscular aponeurotic system face lift is a modern surgical technique that suspends the cheek mass securely, leaving the skin and subcutaneous mass attached to the SMAS without placing the skin under greater than normal tension. The advantage of this technique is that it is a powerful tool in addressing ageing and the descent of the mid cheek. Combined with neck rejuvenation and eyelid lift techniques, it consistently provides reproducible, natural long lasting results. This is a very safe technique to give the face a natural fresh appearance. This is the preferred technique done by Dr. Jayakumar.

MACS Lift (Short Scar Face Lift)

A short scar facelift or a MACS lift is an abbreviation for minimal access cranial suspension-lift, which is a mini lift with vertical suspension of the sagging tissue, through a shorter incision.

Do you need Face Lift?

If you are looking much older than you are with a perpetually tired appearance, you probably need a face lift. Smoking, stress and outdoor activities may have led to altering the appearance of your face over time.

Moreover, as we age, deep creases may form between the nose and mouth. The jawline may become slack and sag. Folds and fat deposits may appear around the neck. If you are interested in having a firmer, fresher appearance, a face lift maybe just what you need.

Ideal Candidates

If you are otherwise in good health, without active diseases or serious, pre-existing medical conditions, a face lift can do wonders for you. Typically, face lifts are done on patients between 40 to 60 years old. It can produce excellent results for people from 60 to 80 as well.

Procedure

Face lift surgery is a complex procedure requiring not only specialized surgical techniques but also an eye for aesthetic detail. During the surgical procedure, tissues under the skin are tightened. It is a procedure often customized to individual patient needs.

Usually, an incision is made in the hair near the temple and continued to the front of the ear, around the ear lobe, behind the ear and into the hair. Muscles and sagging tissues are tightened and excess skin removed while the remaining skin is repositioned to create a more youthful appearance. Sutures or metal clips will close the incision on the scalp. The location and extent of your skin laxity determines the type and size of face lift you will receive.

Enhancing the Procedure

A face lift maybe a standalone procedure although it is often done in conjunction with a forehead lift and/or eye lift (blepharoplasty) or nose surgery (rhinoplasty). Fat grafting in selected patients will also be done along with the face lift to enhance results.
