Face Lift Surgery In India
A facelift, technically known as a rhytidectomy is a type of cosmetic surgery procedure used to give a more youthful appearance. It usually involves the removal of excess facial skin, with or without thetightening of underlying tissues, and the redraping of the skin on the patient’s face and neck. Facelifts were the sixth most popular aesthetic surgery performed after liposuction, breast augmentation, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery),abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), breast reduction, and rhinoplasty.
Face Lift, or a Rhytidectomy,is designed to restore a more youthful appearance by removing major wrinkles and sagging skin. It involves tightening of the facial and neck muscles as well as the removal of any excess skin.
The skin begins to wrinkle and sag as a result of age, sun exposure and genetics. Children and young adults have smooth, round faces due to evenly distributed fatty tissues in facial contours. Over time, the skin sags and folds over the chin, jawline and neck. Not only does a facelift improve facial appearance but also has a dramatic effect on the neck, enhancing its contour and profile.

Recovering from a facelift
Generally the pain after a facelift is mild but once home, further painkillers may be taken if needed, as advised by your hospital.
