The purpose of the facelift is to remove the loose hanging skin that has developed over the cheeks, along the jaw line and in the neck. Frequently the deeper structure under the skin as muscles and fascias are also slackened. Even the structure of the bone needs sometimes to be remodeled by implant or fat grafting (your own fat) to achieve a better result. The new structure of the face is frequently giving a dramatic improvement to the profile which is really a positive, psychological feeling.
It is commonly believed that the facelift itself is the same as surgery of the whole face. In reality it is often the case that several other independent operations are needed to achieve a total rejuvenation of the whole face.
A facelift can be performed already when the signs of aging start to appear, or long after they are well-established. The level of improvement of the surgery is directly related to how serious changes the face has gone through over time. If the skin of the face is very loose, one can expect a dramatic result from the surgery. If the slackness of the skin is more moderate, the final result will also be less noticeable.
The best candidate for facelift is usually a woman between 40 an 55 years of age, with a slender figure, with high cheekbones and relatively well defined jaw line,
. It is also an advantage if skin does not have too many wrinkles, because then the skin texture itself is not damaged and doesn’t need other improvement procedures such as laser or peelings.
However, the patient according to this description is very rare. The more normal case is that the surgeon at the consultation makes a very thorough analyze of the face, and can at the time of surgery correct the discovered defects, and thereby will bring forward a fully rejuvenated face from all aspects. A facelift together with the correction of the other areas of the face, such as eyelids and forehead, is called a total facial rejuvenation, and many surgeons believe this to be one of the most grateful and successful surgeries within the field of aesthetic plastic surgery.
A forehead/brow lift is often done together with a facelift to achieve a more uniform look of the face.

A facelift, also referred to as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgery that aims to restore a more youthful facial appearance. It can reduce sagging or folds of skin on the cheeks, jawline, and other areas in the face that changes shape due to aging.
As we age, our skin loses their elasticity and become looser. Fat deposits also decrease in some areas and increase in others. This leads to sagging and wrinkles. With a facelift, these problems can be addressed by lifting and tightening the sagging facial tissue. The procedure may involve removing excess skin that’s causing “jowls”, smoothing out wrinkles or folds, and tightening facial tissue. It can also have a rejuvenating effect on the areas below the eyes and the deep lines from the corners of the mouth to the sides of the nose.
It is important to bear in mind that a facelift is not a treatment for creases around the nose, superficial wrinkles, and irregularities in skin color. It also cannot stop the aging process or change your fundamental appearance.
Although there are newer and less invasive facial rejuvenation procedure, a surgical facelift is still one of the most popular today. This is because the procedure offers the most dramatic results.
While recovering, it is beneficial to prop your head up and refrain from any heavy-duty tasks. Healthy eating habits and effective stress control can remarkably assist in your recuperation journey. A complete healing span could last for a few months, during which the puffiness slowly eases off and the cut marks become less noticeable. Diligently adhering to the post-surgery guidelines from your doctor and consistently showing up for all scheduled check-ups can contribute to a swift, seamless recovery.
Expect to experience bruising, swelling, and some discomfort for the first 3 to 5 days. You may be able to return to work and some light activities within 7 to 14 days, but avoid any vigorous activities for about 5 to 6 weeks. It may take 2 to 3 months until your face feels normal in terms of texture and sensibility.
Approximately 80% to 90% of people who had a facelift is reported to achieve a positive result after their procedure. However, although great results are expected after a facelift, there can be no guarantee. In some cases, you may need more than one surgery to achieve your desired result. To make sure your surgery is successful; you need to ensure your surgeon is skilled and experienced. You also have to follow your surgeon’s instructions, from the preparation to the aftercare.
Note that the results of a facelift are not permanent because no cosmetic procedure can stop aging. Your facial skin may begin to droop again as you age. The average facelift lasts between 7 and 10 years before you have aged enough to need additional work.
