Facelift Overview A facelift is intended to rejuvenate the face, particularly the cheeks, jowels and neck. This procedure can be undertaken in conjunction with eyelid surgery and brow lifts as part of an overall strategy to rejuvenate the face and improve facial harmony. A full facelift operation involves an incision in front of the ear, back up behind the ear and transversely across the hairline. Redundant underlying connective tissue (the ‘SMAS’ layer) is tightened and redundant skin is excised. This is usually performed with a one to two night stay. Mr Banwell also performs the MACS lift (minimal access cranial suspension) which utilizes a shorter scar which is often useful for the younger patient. Frequently Asked Questions • Are there any options? • Are there any adjuvant procedures? • What are the risks? • What happens after the surgery? • Will my face continue to age? • What costs are involved? Please contact Mr Paul Banwell’s office, and his staff can answer any questions you may have and can arrange for a quote and information regarding the procedure to be sent to you. Are there any options? Patients may wish to have a full facelift or, if suitable, a smaller S-lift (MACS) which involves a shorter length incision. Are there any adjuvant procedures? As well as eyelid surgery and forehead lifting (brow lift), botox can be used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the outside of the eyes and between the eyebrows. A neck lift involves an incision under the chin and recontouring of a sagging neck line. The neck muscles (platysma) may need to be tightened and fat removed by direct surgical excision although liposuction may also be needed for this purpose. In addition, 3-D fillers or fat injections can be used to enhance the contour of both lips and other under-filled areas of the face. These procedures all have their own indications and risk profiles that you should speak with Mr Banwell about. |
