Facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a procedure to improve the signs of aging of the face by tightening the underlying muscles and tissues, removing or repositioning excess fat, and re-draping the skin. Your face will have a more youthful and rested appearance with smoother and firmer skin. A facelift may address problems of the face from the eyes to the jaw line; a necklift address excess skin and fullness of the neck; a forehead lift forehead wrinkling and heavy, low brows. These lifting procedures can make you look younger and fresher, and may enhance your self-confidence.
About Your Atlanta Face Lift
Surgery is usually performed as an outpatient and may include an overnight stay depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient’s medical condition. The length of the operation will vary depending on the complexity of the surgery. The incisions usually begin above the hairline at the temples and extend within the natural contours in front of and behind the ears. If a necklift is part of your Atlanta plastic surgery procedure, a small incision may also be made under the chin. Through these incisions the deeper tissues are addressed, the skin is re-draped and the excess skin is removed. The incisions are closed with fine sutures. A small, thin tube may be temporarily placed under the skin behind your ear to drain any blood that might collect. Your head may be bandaged loosely to minimize bruising and swelling.
