3:42 AM - Facelift - The relation between a Facelift and Necklift
When considering a plastic surgery procedure, you have to understand what each one entails to ensure you make the right choice. There are differences and your age and other factors determine which procedures will be of the most benefit to you. You do not want to undergo a more invasive procedure if a less-invasive option is available. Consulting a Facelift Expert can explain your options and recommend a course of action that best fits your needs. Having a surgical procedure is a big decision and can be very expensive, so it is best to fully understand your options before jumping in.
Your
neck is sagging and your jaw line in drooping. What do you do?
Necklift
Surgery is an option. This surgical procedure works by
lifting the neck and revealing the jaw line. The recovery time
is approximately one to two weeks, but this varies with the
patient. Usually by the third week the patient can return to
normal activities. About five days after surgery, the
bandaging is removed and there will be noticeable swelling and
bruising. This procedure is generally for those in the age of
37 to 47 when the first signs of aging in the neck are
noticeable.
Once
the skin on your face begins to descend as well you may need to
opt for a different procedure. A
Facelift
improves the visible signs of aging around the face and targets
things such as excess fat, sagging, creases and muscle loss.
This surgery is usually recommend for people in their
mid-forties and older because after the mid-forties when facial
tissue begin to droop as we lose muscle in our face. If you are
a non-smoker and healthy with realistic expectations of results
then this procedure may be right for you. Some older patients
may also opt to have both a facelift and
Necklift
simultaneously.
Talking
with a plastic surgeon and exploring your options will help you
find out which procedure if best for you depending on your age
and health. Plastic surgery will not stop the aging process and
the results do not last a lifetime. These are points to
consider when making your decision. Cost is another issue and
should be addressed at the time of a consultation with your
surgeon. Know what to expect going in and keep in mind that
results vary and have realistic expectations for how you will
look after surgery. Holding on to unrealistic expectations is
not healthy or safe.
