Points To Consider Before Having A FaceLift

A face lift, or rhytidectomy, is a plastic surgery procedure to tighten muscles, remove fat, and changes the way skin hangs on your face.
After a successful face lift, a man or woman gains a more youthful look.
With age, skin loses its elasticity, especially on the face.
Sagging or loose skin on the neck or around the jaw is very noticeable and unflattering.
While other cosmetic surgeries can smooth out wrinkles, only a face lift tightens facial skin to remove jowls, double chins, and other loose areas.
Rhytidectomy has become hugely popular with both sexes over the age of 40.
While a face lift will improve your appearance, it is important to have realistic expectations.
It's just as important to understand what's involved during the procedure as well as the anticipated recovery time, level of pain, and how you will look afterwords.
The best candidates for face lifts are people who are psychologically stable, in good health, and have good bone structure.
Before the operation, the surgeon will require details about your medical history and, in this regard, it is important to be honest.
For instance, if you have hypertension or a blood-clotting problem, this must be taken into account.
The surgeon will also want to know what medications you use, both prescription and over-the-counter.
Other factors that could influence the outcome include smoking, the use of recreational drugs, allergies, a history of acne, or skin that is prone to scarring.
During the preparatory phase, the cosmetic surgeon will also take 'before' photographs so that comparisons can be made after the procedure.
Choosing the right person to perform this plastic surgery is very important.
Find someone who specializes in face lifts and research his or her qualifications and experience.
Ask about their educational background and if they belong to a certified board.
The more questions you ask, the more confident you will feel about your decision to undergo rhytidectomy.
I found that, after calling a few plastic surgery clinics in my town, that there were several qualified surgeons to choose from, and you will probably have no problem finding several.
I also found a few face lift clinics that specialize in the procedure I am looking to have, so there are probably specialists for your procedure in your area.
