1. Facelift Surgery
This surgery is clinically known as “rhytidectomy”. Under this treatment, physicians aim to reduce facial wrinkles and other signs of ageing with the objective of improving the appearance of face and jaw. This surgery reverses the effects of stress, time and exposure to the elements.
A surgeon will tighten and lift the underlying facial muscles to create an aesthetically pleasing appearance and rejuvenating structure. There are different types of facelifts, such as:
Traditional Complete Facelift: This targets large area and the treatment requires a longer incision. This addresses almost every dramatic signs of ageing and is popular among patients who are usually in their 50’s and 60’s.
Mid Facelift: A mid facelift can tighten and lift the tissues around the cheeks and below the eyes. The doctor will create incisions somewhat similar to those who use a traditional facelift, but they will be deeper. This technique lifts those muscles that are untouched in a traditional facelift.
Mini Facelift: This is also called “weekend fabr>
celift” that includes smaller incisions and requires shorter recovery time. Mini Facelift targets smaller area, usually treating the lower cheeks, jaw, and neck.
Lower Facelift: The lower facelifts target the bottom of the face. This is an excellent way to reduce deep nasolabial folds, eliminate jowls, enhance the jaw and lift corners of the mouth.
Thread Facelift: This treatment is minimally invasive and quick alternative to traditional facelifts. In this procedure, the surgeon creates stitches below the skin to uplift the underlying muscles.
