Facelift Cosmetic Surgery: Is it Right for You?
When people are born their skin is smooth and perfect. This continues until a person reaches middle-age. At this point the skin looses its elasticity resulting in wrinkles, jowls, sagginess around the eyes and creases around the nose and mouth area. Some of this can be reduced if people add oil to their skin through wrinkle cream or makeup, but for the most part the only way to really address these problems is through cosmetic surgery. The specific type of cosmetic surgery that is needed to help the face retain a more youthful appearance is the facelift, (also known as a rhytidectomy).
What happens during typical facelift cosmetic surgery? Typical facelift cosmetic surgery will start with surgeons making incisions around the hairline. They do this to prepare to remove the skin off of the face, though if the neck also needs attention, additional incisions may be made in the lower level of the chin. Once the incisions are done, facelift cosmetic surgery proceeds with actual skin removal. When the skin is away from the face and/or neck, the surgeon stretches it. They also try to strengthen the muscles that they would be attaching the skin too. Additionally, excess fat might be cut away or suctioned out, to help make the contour of the face or neck look better. After this the skin is returned to the face and/or neck, concluding facelift cosmetic surgery.
How can you determine if you're an appropriate candidate for facelift cosmetic surgery? Well, firstly, you need to make sure that your skin has some elasticity. Facelift cosmetic surgery only moderately improves skin; it cannot perform miracles. If your skin is not very elastic, you will not get too many positive results from facelift cosmetic surgery. Fortunately, you'll be able to determine the elasticity of your skin during your initial consultation with your surgeon.
Secondly, you need to be in good health and a non-smoker. Facelift cosmetic surgery, while considered a 'minor' procedure still results in some bleeding. Individuals who are not in good health or are smokers won't be able to handle this level of bleeding as well as those who are healthy non-smokers.
Thirdly, you need to make sure your skin is not susceptible to forms of scarring that won't easily go away. An example are those who develop keloids. This is a condition in which a wound of any severity is overly-healed. The body keeps placing skin cell after skin cell over the area, resulting in a series of unattractive, raised lesions. Cosmetic surgery cannot help these lesions, as it is often one of the causes in the first place. Therefore, if you do have a history of keloids, you will want to avoid facelift cosmetic surgery. Instead, experiment with procedures that do not involve cosmetic surgery, such as botox.
If you find that you are a good candidate for facelift cosmetic surgery, make sure that your budget can handle it. According to the site Face Forum, facelift cosmetic surgery will cost you at least $5,352. Surgeons more experienced in facelift cosmetic surgery may charge more. If your finances can support this cost, you can start looking for plastic surgeons in the Yellow Pages. As you go through the process of collecting names, make sure you check to see if they are certified with the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
