What is a Facelift?
A facelift, medically known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that helps to reduce visible signs of aging on the face and neck. The most popular facelift style is a standard facelift, which targets the middle and lower parts of the face from the cheeks down to the chin and it also improves the contour of your neck. It can help remove facial wrinkles, tighten sagging skin, and reduce jowls. A facelift can make you look younger and fresher, revitalizing your appearance and boosting your confidence at the same time.
What Kinds of Facelifts Are There?
Dr. Mario Yco is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience in offering highly precise and targeted facelift procedures, including the following:
DEEP Plane Facelift
A DEEP Plane facelift addresses signs of facial aging on a deeper level by going down the submuscular aponeurotic system, also known as the SMAS. The skin is kept attached to the SMAS, and lifted by releasing the deeper tendons holding them down. This allows the midface to be elevated as well as the neck. The excess skin is then trimmed away before being expertly and discreetly stitched back together.
Mini Facelift
A mini facelift is an increasingly popular alternative to standard facelifts, offering incredible anti-aging results with a less invasive technique. This style of facelift is designed for moderate concerns regarding aging from the cheeks down and requires fewer incisions and muscular manipulation.
Mid-Facelift
A mid-facelift is designed to target signs of aging between the mouth and eyes, or the “mid-face.” This procedure is sometimes referred to as a cheek lift due to the way the cheek pads and tissues can be lifted into a higher and more youthful position during the surgery regarding aging from the cheeks down and requires fewer soft tissue manipulation.
Facelift Results and Recovery
The exact results and recovery details can change from one facelift procedure to the next, but one thing they all have in common is their ability to provide a rejuvenated and youthful appearance. In general, the initial recovery will last around 2 weeks, after which you can resume your normal day-to-day activities. Results from a surgical facelift stay with you for a time, lasting an average of 5-10 years depending on your specific procedure and how quickly your skin ages. Some people experience life-long results, while others may require a second facelift later in life.
