According to a study published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, patients who underwent face-lift surgery rated themselves as looking an average of 12 years younger after the procedure. As you age, wrinkles, folds, smile lines, and loss of muscle tone appear on the face. The skin loses its elasticity and becomes loose, and fat deposits build up in some areas of your face and decrease in other areas like the cheeks. Performed using advanced technologies, a face lift in NYC is the best way to slow down these signs of aging and achieve a younger looking you.

A face-lift or rhytidectomy slows down the aging process and creates a more youthful facial appearance. The procedure can reduce sagging and folds on the cheeks, imbalances in the distribution of facial fat, a lax jawline, excess fat and loose skin in the neck, and all other changes that occur in your face as a part of aging.

Benefits:

  • The procedure reduces all those changes that occurs on your face due to aging leaves your skin firmer, tighter and fresher.
  • It redistributes the facial fat and tightens the skin
  • Reduces folds, smile lines, wrinkles and saggy skin
  • Removes deep creases below the lower eyelid
  • Excess fat is removed and tightens the underlying muscles
  • Removes jowls that hide your jawline
  • Overall improvement for your appearance

Basic Procedure:

  • Anesthesia – Depending on the technique used, you will be administered general anesthesia or local anesthesia.
  • Options – Based on your needs, your choices include a traditional face-lift, limited incision face-lift, a facelift plus neck-lift.
  • Incisions – Incisions made will depend on the techniques used and your preferences
  • Closing the incisions – The incision can be closed with a stitch that may dissolve or can be removed after a few days. Some surgeons use skin glues to seal the incisions. After healing the incision lines are well concealed within the natural contours of the face and ear.
  • Results -Your results can be seen only after the swelling and bruising subside. Recovery takes normally 2 weeks and for vigorous activity you have to wait for 4 weeks.

The right age for a Face-Lift

As you get older, you can still achieve optimal results if you are in good health and physically fit.
