Facelift Surgery in India

Posted by IndiCure Health Tours on February 20th, 2020

Facelift is a popular cosmetic surgery procedure that turns the clock back on your face by reversing the effects of age, genetics, gravity, sun damage etc. Medically known as rhytidectomy, facelift rejuvenates the face by improving the signs of aging such as:

• Mid-face sagging
• Lower eyelid creases
• Creases extending along the nose to the corner of the mouth
• Excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw

Facelift surgery when combined with an eyelid surgery along with a brow lift or forehead lift, rejuvenates the upper third of the face. When combined with other procedures such as rhinoplasty or chin and cheek augmentation, a facelift gives altogether new and fresh look.

Facelift Procedure

Performed under general anaesthesia, a facelift can be performed by different techniques such as a traditional facelift, MACS face lift or a limited incision face lift.

Traditional Facelift – It begins at the temples, takes route around the ear and ends in the lower scalp. There is redistribution of fat from the face, neck and jowls. The deeper layers of face and muscles are also uplifted. The excess skin is trimmed away and redraped over the uplifted contours. Another incision under the chin can also be made to improve an aging neck. The incisions are then closed by sutures.

Limited Incision – It is an alternative to traditional facelift which uses shorter incisions at the temples, continues around the earlobes or under the upper lip.

Neck Lift – In this technique, the incision begins in front of the ear lobe, goes behind the ear ending in lower scalp. A neck lift corrects sagging jowls, fat accumulation under chin and loose neck skin.

With increasing awareness about cosmetic surgery and reduced risks associated with surgery owing to better drugs and surgical techniques, lot of men and women wish to undergo facelift surgery. However, exorbitant cost of facelift in countries like US, UK, Australia forces people to look for facelift abroad. Getting facelift abroad is not only affordable, you undergo the surgery in privacy with no one knowing that you underwent the knife.

You also get to recuperate at one of the peaceful resorts in India enjoying your Ayurveda massage away from the eyes of your friends and relatives. You go back fresh and rejuvenated without announcing the world that you underwent a facelift.
