There comes a time in every woman’s life when looking in the mirror and performing daily beauty rituals no longer brings as much joy and satisfaction as before. More and more often, on the occasion of this type of treatment, an irritating thought appears in the head: “another wrinkle”.
It is difficult for each of us to come to terms not only with the passage of time, but also with the traces it leaves on our faces. That is why we are constantly looking for better and better creams and buy new products with modernized innovative formulas, whose producers promise us that thanks to them our face will look ten years younger. Unfortunately, it usually turns out that these are just marketing tricks, and we do not feel the promised effects.
Finally, we come up with the idea to undergo a face lift procedure. Usually, however, we reject it very quickly, because we are simply afraid of it and think that it is not for us. right?
In this article, we will help you to bring the details of the facelift procedure closer, and we will show you how it goes and what effects it gives.
What is a face lift and how is the procedure performed?
During the facelift procedure, the plastic surgeon makes special incisions in the place of the skull that grow hair, or above the hairline, and also in front of the ear, in the temple area. He then connects both of these incisions.
The next, key stage of face lifting is stretching the facial skin and removing its excess. In the final phase, the resulting wound is closed with sutures and staples of the skin.
The use of such a procedure gives spectacular results in the form of removing wrinkles and nasolabial folds, as well as the tension of the skin falling on the cheeks. In addition, face lifting perfectly smoothes the skin of the forehead and temples, and also raises drooping eyebrows.
This treatment can be used by people over 30 years of age. It is a myth to say that a facelift is only for women. More and more men are opting for it as well. This is because it gives phenomenal results and allows you to rejuvenate your face by up to 10 years.
The entire procedure during the face lift can be performed both under general anesthesia, i.e. under anesthesia, as well as local anesthesia.
How to prepare for a face lift procedure?
The face lift procedure involves surgical intervention, therefore, before proceeding with it, everyone who decides to undergo it must undergo specialist examinations, as well as prepare for it properly.
If we decide to undergo a facelift procedure, it is necessary to perform a complete blood count and determine its clotting time. It is also necessary to be vaccinated against hepatitis B. If we want to undergo the procedure under anesthesia, we must also obtain the result of the ionogram and perform an ECG test.
We must also remember that at least two weeks before the planned facelift, do not take any preparations containing acetylsalicylic acid, such as aspirin, as they significantly impede the blood coagulation process.
However, it is worth taking large amounts of vitamin C, as it seals blood vessels and increases blood clotting.
If the procedure we decide on will be performed under general anesthesia, we cannot eat or smoke cigarettes 6 hours before it. Immediately before the procedure, we must thoroughly clean the face of make-up and remove all metal decorations.
How long does it take to recover after a facelift?
In the vast majority of cases, we can return to normal functioning after a period of 3 to 5 days after the procedure. However, we must remember to wear a special mask on the face for two weeks, which will help the wounds heal better and preserve the effects of the face lift.
