Understanding the Facelift: A Gateway to Timeless Beauty

A facelift, clinically known as rhytidectomy, is a comprehensive surgical procedure designed to improve signs of aging in the face and neck. As a cosmetic restorative surgery, it aims to address various concerns, including relaxed, sagging skin, deep fold lines, facial fat loss, drooping skin on the cheeks and jaw (jowls), and excess skin and fat in the neck.

Tailored Facelift Surgeries to Meet Your Unique Needs

Our skilled plastic surgeons offer a range of facelift surgeries tailored to individual needs:

  1. Traditional Facelift:
    • Involves incisions around the ears, hairline, and below the chin.
    • Addresses moderate to significant facial aging by tightening muscles and supporting structures.
    • Removes excess fat in the neck and jowls.
  2. SMAS Facelift (SMAS Rhytidectomy):
    • Targets the lower two-thirds of the face, focusing on muscle tightening and excess skin/fat trimming in the cheeks and lower face.
  3. Deep Plane Facelift:
    • Lifts the SMAS, fat, and skin as a single unit, addressing multiple areas of the face simultaneously.
  4. Mid-Facelift:
    • Treats the cheek area by repositioning fat and tightening skin.
  5. Mini-Facelift:
    • A quicker and less invasive option for younger individuals with early signs of facial sagging.
  6. Cutaneous (Skin) Facelift:
    • Focuses on the neck and lower face, involving the skin only.

Neck Lift 

A neck lift, also known as a lower rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the neck by removing excess skin and fat, tightening underlying muscles, and enhancing the overall contour.

Procedure Overview:

  1. Anesthesia: The procedure typically begins with the administration of anesthesia. This can be either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the surgeon’s recommendation and patient preference.
  2. Incisions: The surgeon makes incisions under the chin and/or behind the ears. The exact placement and length of the incisions depend on the extent of correction required and the patient’s anatomy.
  3. Liposuction: If there is excess fat, it may be removed using liposuction techniques. This helps to refine the neck contour and reduce fullness.
  4. Muscle Tightening: The underlying platysma muscle is tightened and realigned to create a firmer, smoother neck profile. This step is crucial for addressing neck banding and sagging.
  5. Skin Redraping: Excess skin is trimmed away, and the remaining skin is redraped over the newly shaped neck. This ensures a natural, youthful appearance without overstretching the skin.
  6. Incision Closure: The incisions are meticulously closed with sutures or skin adhesives. The surgeon ensures that the incisions are well-hidden within the natural contours of the ear and hairline to minimize visible scarring.
  7. Recovery and Aftercare: Post-surgery, the neck is bandaged to reduce swelling and support the new contours. Patients are typically advised to keep their head elevated and avoid strenuous activities for several weeks. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing and remove stitches.

Understanding Pubic Lift (Monsplasty): A Pubic Lift is a specialized surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the mons pubis, resulting in a smoother, more toned appearance. This procedure is tailored to individuals who may experience sagging or bulging in the pubic region, often due to factors such as weight fluctuations, aging, or genetic predisposition.

The Procedure: Conducted under general anesthesia, a Pubic Lift typically takes two to four hours, contingent on the extent of the work required. The surgeon carefully performs the following steps:

  1. Incision: An incision is strategically made in the mons pubis area.
  2. Tissue Removal: Excess skin and fat are meticulously removed to achieve the desired contour.
  3. Closure: The incision is closed using sutures or staples for optimal healing.
  4. Compression Garment: A compression garment is applied to aid in the healing process and reduce swelling.

Post-Operative Care: Following the procedure, patients are advised to take several weeks off from work and other activities to facilitate proper healing. The use of a compression garment contributes to reducing swelling and promoting a smoother recovery. The surgeon will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a successful outcome.

Why Consider a Pubic Lift?

  • Excess Skin and Fat: Address sagging or bulging in the mons pubis area.

  • Confidence Boost: Experience renewed confidence and comfort in intimate areas.
