As people age, the effects of gravity, exposure to the sun, and the stresses of daily life can be seen in their faces. Deep creases form between the nose and mouth; the jawline grows slack and jowly; folds and fat deposits appear around the neck.
If you're considering a facelift, this brochure will give you a basic understanding of the procedure when it can help, how it's performed, and what results you can expect. It can't answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on the individual patient and the surgeon. Please ask your surgeon about anything you don't understand.
The best candidate for a facelift is a man or woman whose face and neck have begun to sag, but whose skin still has some elasticity and whose bone structure is strong and well-defined. Most patients are in their forties to sixties, but facelifts can be done successfully on people in their seventies or eighties as well.
A facelift can make you look younger and fresher, and it may enhance your self- confidence in the process. But it can't give you a totally different look, nor can it restore the health and vitality of your youth. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with your surgeon.
When a facelift is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, complications are infrequent and usually minor. Still, individuals vary greatly in their anatomy, their physical reactions, and their healing abilities, and the outcome is never completely predictable.
Complications that can occur include hematoma (a collection of blood under the skin that must be removed by the surgeon), injury to the nerves that control facial muscles (usually temporary), infection, and reactions to the anesthesia. Poor healing of the skin is most likely to affect smokers.
You can reduce your risks by closely following your surgeon's advice both before and after surgery.
Recognising these signs early can help you seek timely treatment and achieve the best possible outcomes.
Dissatisfaction with facial appearance, body contour, or breast size — requiring consultation with a plastic surgeon for safe, natural-looking correction.
Need for breast reconstruction after mastectomy for cancer — immediate or delayed, using implant-based or autologous (TRAM, DIEP flap) reconstruction.
Excess skin and soft tissue after major weight loss (bariatric or diet-induced) — requiring body contouring procedures (abdominoplasty, thigh lift, arm lift).
Cleft lip/palate, craniofacial abnormality, burns contracture, or traumatic scar — requiring reconstructive plastic surgery.
Septal deviation causing airway obstruction, or ptosis causing visual field defect — functional indications for rhinoplasty or blepharoplasty.
Disfiguring keloid or hypertrophic scar from previous surgery, injury, or acne — requiring scar revision, steroid injection, or laser treatment.
