Know More about Facelift Surgery in London

Posted by Mr. Sultan Hassan on December 15th, 2015

Rhytidectomy is a surgical procedure that reduces the physical signs of ageing. It is more commonly known as 'facelift surgery,' and it aims to improve the overall appearance of your jaw and face. This surgical procedure may help reverse the effects of stress, too much sun exposure, and stress. A facelift must always be performed by an fully accredited, skilled, and experienced plastic (cosmetic) surgeon to ensure the best results and safety. In this surgery, the surgeon will lift and tighten the underlying muscles, called the SMAS, to achieve aesthetically pleasing contours and to enhance the facial structure. A surgeon will remove excess pockets of skin and fat that contribute to a tired and aged appearance and often augment deflated areas of the face with fat transfer.

Ageing is a natural process all humans go through, but it can be exacerbated by environmental factors, bad habits like smoking and weight loss. The result is a face that sags, a neckline that loosens, deeper creases, and obvious wrinkles. An experienced cosmetic surgeon in London can help improve your appearance through facelift surgery.

You are a good candidate for facelift surgery if you have realistic expectations, and you are able and willing to follow the surgeon's pre- and post-operative advice and instructions. Before surgery, the surgeon must conduct a one-on-one consultation to determine whether you are a good candidate for the procedure or not. A surgeon will assess your skin's elasticity, bone structure, and your overall mental and physical health before deciding to proceed with the facelift surgery. Your surgeon will discuss the range of both surgical and non-surgical options to achieve your realistic goals for facial rejuvenation.

To qualify, your skin must have retained some of its innate flexibility and suppleness. This way, the surgeon can effectively tighten the skin to minimise the appearance of wrinkles. Elasticity is crucial to ensure proper healing and optimal results; the skin must be capable of conforming to the improved and new contours of the face. Moreover, you must have a well-defined bone structure, which will support the new contours. And of course, you need to have a good overall physical health to facilitate good healing and recovery. So often skin care will be discussed as well as ways to improve or enhance bony contours that have been affected by ageing.

Facelift surgery in London may be administered to remove excess skin from your neck or face, tighten the skin, and minimise wrinkles. In this case, the surgeon will trim the sagging skin. A facelift may be performed on men, too, especially if they want to reduce the signs of ageing and achieve a rejuvenated and younger look. The procedure is similar in both men and women, and as long as you choose a reputable and skilled cosmetic surgeon, you can achieve outstanding results.
