Face Lift

Cosmetic Face lift surgery, also known as Rhytidectomy is becoming very popular for both women and men to improve the appearance of the facial skin. A Face Lift can help you look younger, tightening the skin and underlying muscle, and removing excess fat.

The face lift procedure can be performed on its own or in conjunction with other treatments such as eyelid surgery(Blepharoplasty), or a neck lift.

It should be understood that a face lift does not remove all facial wrinkles. If this is your aim then you may be better off looking into wrinkle treatment and chemical peeling rather than getting a face lift.

The main benefit of getting a face lift is the tightening-up of loose skin, which as we get older can result in jowls, the neck looking flabby, and the cheeks looking sunken and less plump than they once did.

Many overseas locations are popular for cheap Face Lift Surgery. In Europe, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary are becoming increasingly popular with medical tourists, while further afield, Thailand, India, Malaysia and the Dominican Republic are some of the choices for saving money on a Face Lift.

Who can benefit from cosmetic face lift surgery?

If you look in the mirror, and your skin seems flabby and loose, or you have jowls around your mouth and neck, you could benefit from a face lift. The face lift isn't a surgical procedure for wrinkle removal, so for these signs of aging, alternative treatments may be considered, instead or as well as, cosmetic face lift surgery. As always, your expectations about the face lift procedure should be realistic.

What is the procedure for face lift surgery?

There are different types of face lift available, and the face lift can concentrate on the lower part of the face or more on the forehead. Some people opt for a full face lift, which involves the entire face. There is also a face lift procedure called the "mini face lift". Depending on the choice of area that the face lift concentrates on, incisions will be made in the natural skin creases around the ears, or beneath the hair-line for a forehead lift. Then, excess skin and fat are removed.

What are the Face Lift surgery options available to me?

As mentioned, a face lift can be performed to varying degrees, and there are various cosmetic face lift procedures used, depending on what you and your cosmetic surgeon decide between you.

Many people choose to combine a face lift with wrinkle treatment, eyelid surgery or neck lift surgery, which can work out more economical. Some clinics also give the option to combine face lift, neck lift and eyelid surgery with a breast lift or breast enhancement, as well, if you are looking to get a more "extreme" makeover.

What risks are involved with face lift surgery?

Face lift surgery is at quite an advanced stage, nowadays, so complications are rare. As always, as with any surgery, there are still risks involved with getting a face lift, so you should discuss these with your cosmetic face lift surgeon. Haemotomas are uncommon, as are infections during the face lift procedure, but you should be aware that they are a possibility. Similarly, a face lift can very occassionally cause damage to the nerve branges under the skin. We suggest reading our article "Risks Of Cosmetic Surgery" for more details.

How long does it take to recover from face lift surgery?

You must expect it to take a minimum of a week and up to three weeks for the swelling to go down after your cosmetic face lift surgery. Stitches will normally be removed about two weeks after your face lift.

How much should I expect to pay for a face lift?

Prices for Face Lifts can vary quite considerably, depending on where your face lift is performed! Getting face lift surgery abroad is often between 40% and 60% cheaper when compared to the price in the UK!
