A facelift, also called a rhytidectomy, smooths loose skin on the face and neck, tightens underlying tissues and removes excess fat.<\/p>

There are many ways to perform a facelift. The results can be subtle or dramatic. This may depend on your appearance before surgery and on your desired outcome.\u00a0Your surgeon<\/a>\u00a0will discuss which of these options are most suitable for you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Is facelift right for me?<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Always talk to your surgeon before deciding whether a facelift is right for you.<\/p>

It is important to know that a facelift alone is unlikely to correct conditions such as loose skin around the eyebrows and eyelids, or lines and wrinkles around the mouth. Other procedures may also be required, such as\u00a0eyelid surgery<\/a>\u00a0or skin resurfacing.<\/p>

The exact nature of the procedure and estimated recovery times will all be explained simply and clearly during your consultation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

All surgery comes with some\u00a0degree of risk<\/a>. For example, bleeding and infection are possible. Fortunately, significant complications from facelifts are usually infrequent. Don\u2019t worry, your surgeon will fully explain potential complications during the\u00a0consultation<\/a>\u00a0process and commit to supporting you during your recovery period.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Your time in surgery may vary according to your individual needs and the specifics of the procedures being performed. Your surgeon will fully explain these details to you during your consultation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the most important reasons for choosing a\u00a0reputable surgeon<\/a>\u00a0is knowing they will be by your side throughout the recovery process, ready to reassure and support you at every stage. Ask your surgeon what the recovery process will involve for you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
