What is a facelift or rhytidectomy?
A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to create a more youthful appearance by improving major signs of aging in the lower two-thirds of the face and jawline.
Who are the ideal candidates for a facelift?
How does Dr. McRae tailor the facelift procedure for each patient?
What differentiates a mini facelift from a facelift?
A mini facelift involves shorter scars and less downtime, suitable for patients with moderate signs of aging, while a facelift offers comprehensive improvements for typical facial aging symptoms.
What are the expected improvements from a facelift procedure?
Patients can expect to see improvement in sagging skin, elimination of loose jowls, more defined jawline, softened wrinkles, and a reduction of folds, particularly from the nose to the mouth.
What is the significance of the SMAS techniques in facelift surgery?
SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) techniques are critical as they involve repositioning the layers beneath the skin, including the superficial fat pads, which are vital for facial aesthetics and expression. SMAS layer modifications require careful attention to identify and protect facial nerves.
How are facelift incisions placed?
Incisions are discreetly made in natural skin creases, in front of and behind the ear, and sometimes under the chin to minimize visible scarring.
What types of anesthesia are used during facelift surgery?
The procedure can be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, determined by patient preference and the expected duration of the surgery.
What is the duration of a facelift surgery?
Typically, facelift surgery lasts between 2.5 to 4 hours. Dr. McRae aims to keep surgical times under 5 hours to reduce potential complications and aid in more rapid recovery.
Can other procedures be combined with a facelift?
Yes, additional procedures such as eyelid lifts can be performed simultaneously, provided the total surgery time does not exceed the 5-hour limit for safety.
What protocols are in place to enhance recovery after surgery?
Dr. McRae employs an Enhanced Recovery after Surgery Protocol, which includes a multi-pronged approach for medication, hygiene, and patient care to minimize risks and promote smooth, fast recovery.
What is the typical recovery timeline after a facelift?
Initial recovery usually involves some swelling and discomfort with most patients returning to normal light daily activities within 2 weeks. Final results, including scar maturation and resolution of swelling, can take up to a year.
What are some possible complications of facelift surgery?
While rare, potential complications can include bleeding, scarring, skin loss, nerve injury, and pain syndromes. Risk factors and prevention strategies are discussed during the consultation.
