Types of Face-Lift surgery
The face-lift surgery is utilized by using three different methods. It is usually done under general anesthesia. Regarding your medical condition, your surgeon will decide which option will have the desired results.
Three types of Face Lift surgery are as follows:
Traditional Face Lift
In this type of surgery, the incisions are made on the hairline behind the ears. After that, the skin is separated from the tissue below it. The surgeon relocates excessive fat and tightens the facial muscles. The skin is then pulled and positioned to its place while the excess skin in removed. To prevent the risk of infection, the face is bandaged after the surgery
Mini Face Lift
This method is similar to traditional Face-Lift. The only difference is the length of the incisions. The removal of excess fat and face-lifting is done by these small incisions.
Keyhole Surgery
In this method, your surgeon will open very small incisions. After that, while monitoring the surgery progress live on a monitor, your surgeon will examine which muscles are to be tightened.
These types of surgeries are the most common ones that are done with brow-lifting or face-lifting. Even if the healing time is shorter and markings left after surgery are smaller; it is not recommended for everyone. To get the best results, in most cases, combining face-lift surgery with a neck lift surgery is recommended.
