Rhytidectomy: Operative and Post Operative

Face lift surgery is done under local or general anesthesia, depending upon the complexity of the procedure. Incisions are normally made in front of the ear, extending to the hairline so that they can remain inconspicuous. After that, loose skin is elevated from the underlying tissues in the cheek and neck area. The underlying muscles and deeper structures are pulled up and tightened with sutures. At times when there is excessive laxity of the underlying structures, if need be they can be excised. The skin is pulled up and loose lax skin is excised giving a tightened and a much better contour to the face. Facial plastic surgery results are very rewarding both to the surgeon and the patient.

A newer technique called MACS (minimal access cranial suspension) involves a limited incision and a shorter post-operative recovery. Mini face lift is done in cases where there are less tissue laxity and the tone of the skin and underlying muscles are better. After this procedure, the face and head are bandaged with firm cotton dressing to avoid swelling and provided support for about 2-3 days. Most of the stitches are removed after about 6 to 7 days.
