Face Lift – Phoenix Myths and Common Misunderstandings.

There are plenty of rumors, myths, and fallacies that people have regarding a face lift. Phoenix is certainly no exception. To clear up some of these common misperceptions, we’ve provided below a comprehensive summary of the general terms, definitions, and steps involved in a Quicklift™ surgery.

Face Lift Surgery (Rhytidectomy)

Face Lift Surgery

The facelift operation can dramatically reverse the effects that aging have on particular areas of the face and neck region. The facelift operation is a very common cosmetic surgery procedure today, and is designed to tighten and reposition the sagging tissues of the cheeks, jaw line, jowls, and neck. The facelift operation is often combined with other procedures to rejuvenate or change the appearance of the eyes, forehead, chin, cheekbones, etc., creating a rested, more youthful appearance.

The operation is performed by making incisions within the hairline above and behind the ear, and in the natural creases area just in front of the ear. By placing the incisions in these locations, healing occurs with virtually undetectable scars. The loose and wrinkled skin and deeper muscles of the face and neck are then re-draped and tightened. Excess skin is removed, and if required excess fat can be suctioned at the same time (often from the neck area). The result is a younger looking patient with smoother, tighter skin on the face and neck.

Complications following a facelift procedure are rare but possible as with any operation. The potential problems include bleeding, infection, scarring, changes in the hairline, and rarely nerve injury. Ask your plastic surgeon if you are a candidate for the facelift operation, and see what changes are possible with this versatile and remarkable operation. As with all plastic surgery options, it is important to schedule your surgery close to home, especially for a face lift.
