Effect / Causes
Procedure
1. PRE OPERATIVE STEP
Initially the pre operative instructions are given by face lift surgeon that not to drink alcohol before the procedure, not to have medications like aspirin or ibuprofen. Also the pros and cons of face lift surgery are told in prior.
2. ACTUAL PROCEDURE
Typical incisions are placed within the hairline, above the temple and continue along or just inside the ear, ending behind the ear .
This allows access to tighten underlying tissue, remove excess fat and reduce sagging skin. A second incision under the chin is sometimes necessary. If skin tone is good and only mid-face aging or excess fat in the neck will be corrected, other techniques with shorter incisions may be used.
Liposuction techniques may assist with removal of fat deposits under the chin.
3. POST ROCEDURE
Swelling and bruising will subside within 2-4 weeks. Final results may be apparent in 1-2 months. Incision lines will continue to refine and fade in 1 year. After the treatment bandage is applied and drainage tubes are also used if required. So in that case little bit of bruising and discomfort can be seen.
