Facelift Surgery in India

A facelift can be of different types, including non-surgical and surgical. The surgical facelift is of the following two types, depending on which region is targeted. These are:

• Traditional facelift- In this surgery, the incision starts from the hairline, goes around and behind the ear, and back to the hairline. The skin all around the face is lifted and tightened.
• Mini lift- This type of facelift focuses only on lifting and tightening the skin of the lower face. The incision is made along the ear’s natural curves, from top to bottom.
• Neck lift- In this facelift, the incision starts in the hairline at the sideburn area, goes down and around the ear, and ends in the hair’s backside. It is done to get rid of the neck bands and improve the jawline.

A facelift surgeon in India can help determine which facelift is best for the candidate.

Facelift surgery is executed under the effect of local or general anesthesia, provided 35-45 minutes before commencing the operation. The duration of the surgery typically is anywhere between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the type and extent of the surgery.

Here is a general overview of the procedure:

• The surgeon makes a hidden incision, depending on which surgical technique is chosen to perform. Typically, the incision begins in the hairline near the temple, delineating the area in front of the ear, around the earlobe, at the ear’s backside, and ending in the posterior hairline.
• Through the incision, a skin flap is carefully lifted and the underlying tissue layer is roughly sutured horizontally.
• The extra skin is excised, loose muscles are tightened, extra fat is discarded, and the remaining skin is re-draped over the modified face.
• The incisions are closed using sutures. The incisions in the hairlines may be closed with staples.
• Lastly, the surgeon applies a sterile dressing to avoid infection and swelling at the incision sites as well as reduce the chances of fluid build-up in the surgical wound.

To ensure optimal results and smooth recovery, follow these aftercare instructions provided by the surgeon:

• Avoid high-impact activities, swimming, heavy weight lifting, steam rooms, saunas, hot baths/showers, or anything that heat the face or put pressure on it
• Take adequate rest, eat healthily, and drink adequate water
• Take prescribed pain-relieving medication and antibiotics
• Use cold compresses/ice packs to alleviate post-surgical swelling
• Take proper care of the incision wound
• Sleep on the back with your head elevated
• Avoid using any skin products, unless allowed
• Keep your face covered when stepping outdoors.
