subject: Turn Back The Hands Of Time With A Face Lift [print this page] Aging is inevitable, but if signs of aging in your face bother you, facelift surgery, or rhytidectomy, may be right for you. Facelift surgery is intended to improve your facial appearance and make you look good for your age. Facelifts are designed to reduce the slack in tissues of the face, tightening muscle, fat and skin for a more youthful, rested appearance. Facelift surgery is a safe, effective and fast procedure, performed daily around the country. A consultation with your plastic surgeon can help you decide whether facelift surgery is a viable option for you.
What to Expect During Your Consultation
The success and safety of your facelift depends on your complete candidness during your consultation with your board certified ENT. You will be asked a number of questions about your health, desires and lifestyle to make sure facelift surgery is ideal for you. During your consultation, be prepared to discuss:
*Why you want the surgery, your expectations and desired outcome
*Medical conditions, drug allergies and medical treatments
*Use of current medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco and drugs
*Previous surgeries
Your surgeon may also evaluate your general health status and any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors, as well as:
*Discuss available options for facelift and facial rejuvenation
*Examine and measure your face
*Take photographs for your medical record
*Discuss your options and recommend a course of treatment
*Discuss likely outcomes of a facelift and any risks or potential complications
*Discuss the type of anesthesia that will be used
What is a QuickLift Mini Face Lift?
With advancements in technology, it is now possibly to turn back the hands of time with minimal interruption to your busy life. QuickLift Mini Face Lift is:
*A minor outpatient procedure
*Provides same-day results
*Offers minimal downtime
The QuickLift is a revolutionary face-lift procedure that tightens the skin in the lower portion of the face and neck in a minimally invasive way. It delivers results similar to a traditional lower facelift with a lower likelihood of complications and a quicker recovery.
Recovery
Often referred to as a "weekend facelift," this procedure allows many to have it completed on a Friday, only to return back to work on Monday or Tuesday. Although this is true for some patients depending on their occupations, the downtime associated with a facelift varies from patient to patient. Some people may experience temporary bruising, which can be camouflaged with makeup after three days. To minimize swelling, patients are encouraged to sleep with their head elevated for the first week and to apply cold compresses the first 48 hours.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle to help extend the results of your rejuvenated, more youthful appearance. Talk to your ENT in Montgomery today for further consultation to see if facelift surgery is for you.
