face-lift

Facelifts are becoming one of the most popular facial rejuvenation procedures today. Although in the past the over-corrected or «plastic » look was all too common, skilled surgeons today can produce beautiful, natural-looking results.

With meticulous attention to tightening and repositioning muscle and skin as well as sculpting and repositioning facial fat, our plastic surgeon creates a long-lasting, rested, youthful and natural-looking result…

Many patients look as many as 5-10 years younger and, best of all, instead of looking «lifted », today’s patients simply look refreshed, rested and healthy.
Friends usually won’t know about your facelift unless you tell them. They will recognize that you look better but they won’t know why. They’ll ask if you have been on vacation. Did you lose weight? What exercise program are you on?

With today’s new surgical techniques and technology, facelifts now last longer than ever before. These new techniques are also less invasive; which means less swelling and a shorter recuperation time for the patient.

Feminization and the facelift:

The basic idea behind a facelift is to remove excess skin that is loose and sagging, and to tighten the underlying tissue. The excess skin that is removed never returns, so you will always look younger than you would have without surgery. The skin does continue to age, however. When new sagging develops, you may, if you choose, have a minor «tuck-up » procedure to correct it.

In some cases, certain procedures may leave a FFS patient with excess skin, especially in the jaw area. Feminization patients over the age of 50 especially may be recommend a facelift 4 -6 months after FFS to improve the overall rejuvenating effect and enhance the FFS.

Procedure:

Facial Team´s plastic surgeon is Dr. Kaye, also of the prestigious Ocean Clinic of Marbella.

He begins with a very short incision along the hairline, from the temple, down around the ear lobe and to the back of the ear. After separating the skin from muscle and fat underneath, it is then pulled up and back, and the excess removed. Sagging muscles and tissues can also be tightened, and fat deposits can be removed or repositioned to produce a more youthful shape to the face.
