Face Lift. Dr. Vasif Mammadov. Central Hospital

With age, cells renew more slowly and the skin becomes thicker. Collagen and elastin fibers become thin and coarse, leading to tissue sagging. The skin ages and loses its appearance, so lifting is necessary to address this issue.

A facelift, is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the face and neck, eliminating signs of aging such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and folds. The procedure may include the removal of excess skin, tightening of muscles, and redistribution of fat tissue to achieve a more youthful and fresh appearance.

The facelift procedure, also known as rhytidectomy, involves several stages and can vary depending on the individual needs of the patient.

Preparation for the procedure

• Consultation: The patient undergoes a consultation with the surgeon to discuss expectations, medical history, and potential risks
• Preoperative tests: Various tests and analyses may be required to assess the patient's overall health
• Preoperative instructions: The patient may be given recommendations for preparation, such as quitting smoking, avoiding certain medications, etc

Procedure

• Anesthesia: The operation is usually performed under general anesthesia, but in some cases, local anesthesia with sedation may be used
• Incisions: The surgeon makes incisions, typically starting in the hairline at the temples, continuing down in front of the ear, and ending behind the ear in the hairline
• Tissue lifting: The surgeon lifts and redistributes muscles and fat tissue, removing excess skin
• Closing incisions: The incisions are closed with sutures or staples

Recovery from surgery

• Postoperative care: The patient may stay in the clinic for observation. Swelling and bruising are possible but will subside over time
• Recommendations: The patient is given recommendations for suture care, medication use, and avoiding physical activity
• Follow-up visits: Regular visits to the surgeon for monitoring the healing process
