Facelift in Dubai

Are you looking to rejuvenate your appearance and reverse your aging signs with advanced cosmetic procedures? Consider Facelift in Dubai!

What is a Facelift?

A facelift, clinically known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical treatment to make your face look younger by targeting moderate to severe skin aging. This procedure smoothes skin folds on the jawline and cheeks and is an excellent solution for heavy sags and jowls. However, it doesn’t treat fine lines and wrinkles but can reduce their appearance.

What are the Benefits of Facelift

A facelift offers numerous benefits for your facial appearance, such as:

  • This cosmetic procedure can tighten the skin on your cheeks and jawline and redefine your neck.
  • It removes those unsightly jowls.
  • If performed correctly, a facelift removes deep creases on the face and neck.
  • To some extent, it offers natural results.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for a Facelift Procedure?

Sagging skin and deep creases dampen your facial beauty and make you look aged, sometimes more than your actual age. This is a significant concern for people who care about their aesthetics. Luckily, they can get help from a facelift, a surgical procedure that restores youthfulness by reducing these aging signs. An ideal candidate for a facelift procedure is the one who:

  • Is in good health condition and controlled weight
  • Wants to look younger by tightening the sagging skin around the mouth, eyes, or jawline
  • Can take proper care of the tightened skin in the future
  • Has realistic expectations of the procedure
  • Can cut off smoking, if not completely avoid it

How to Prepare for Facelift Surgery? 

  • Keep your skin moisturised and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen when going out.
  • Maintain healthy eating habits by having a balanced diet. Also, avoid crash dieting, over-eating, and alcohol consumption, as they can affect overall well-being.
  • Stop smoking, as it can impact your body’s ability to heal
  • Get the prescribed lab tests done before the procedure.
  • Stop taking aspirin and supplements that may cause blood thinning.
  • Take medications as directed by your practitioner.
  • Stop eating or drinking the night before surgery.

What is the Procedure of Facelift Surgery? 

  • Before starting the facelift procedure, the surgeon administers anesthesia. The type of anesthesia depends on the nature of the treatment or the patient’s preferences.
  • The facelift procedure generally involves lifting the skin and tightening the tissues and muscles. It may also include sculpting, removing, or moving fat in the face and neck. 
  • Once the tissues are tightened and repositioned, the surgeon redrapes the skin over the treated region, removes excess skin, and stitches the incisions.

What are the Different Facelift Techniques? 

The pattern of incisions for a facelift depends on the preferred treatment technique. The most common facelift techniques include:

Traditional Facelift

During this surgery, the surgeon makes incisions around the ears, hairline, and under the chin. The skin is then separated from the underlying tissues, after which the muscles and other structures supporting the face and neck are tightened. This procedure also includes removing the extra fat from the face and neck.

Mini-Facelift or MACS Surgery

It is a shorter facelift treatment that involves a limited incision, usually in front of the ears. This incision generally extends to the bottom of the earlobe. The surgeon pulls the skin and tissue at the incision site to create a tightened facial appearance. The excess skin is removed, and the incision is stitched or tape-closed.

Facelift With Neck Lift 

A facelift is often combined with a neck lift, which involves removing excess fat and skin on the neck, particularly around the jawline. The purpose of a neck lift is to address age-related creasing and wrinkling in the neck area to give it a smoother, slimmer profile.

Facelift Post-Op Instructions

Ensure to adhere to the following instructions to avoid complications after a facelift.

  • Apply ice to the face and neck for at least three days after surgery.
  • Do not lift heavy objects or engage in strenuous physical activities for at least a week.
  • Avoid any activity that involves the impact on the face or neck, such as football or other contact sports, for about ten days or until your doctor approves.
  • Sleep with the head in an elevated position.
  • Avoid excessive sun exposure.
  • Contact your practitioner if you feel pain. 
  • Avoid ibuprofen as it can increase bleeding.
  • Be particularly careful about your diet.
  • Keep the incision area clean by washing it with soap and patting the skin dry three times a day. After that, clean the area with a hydrogen peroxide solution using a Q-tip. Mix hydrogen peroxide with an equal amount of warm water to prepare this solution.
