What To Consider Before Having A Face Lift
Are you ready to have a face lift? Nowadays, people as young as thirty years old are having the procedure done although it is most commonly performed on females who are older than thirty-eight. The face lift, also known as a rhytiodoplasty, is particularly popular among both men and women in the fields of art, entertainment and performance.
First of all you need to consider that a face lift will not necessarily correct sagging tissues around the eyes. If this is a problem then you need to ask for an eye lift as well. Sometimes an eyelift is also referred to as a mid- face lift.
Before you choose the procedure that is right for you make sure that you know all of your options by familiarizing yourself with all of the different types of face lifts that are available. These include the standard face lift, the neck lift, the S lift (which also pulls the ears up and back), the SOOF (which repositions under eye fat), the deep plane lift (which removes grooves from nose to mouth), the temporal lift (which raises the eyebrows) and the mid-face lift (also known as the eye lift. Depending on your needs, your surgery may include a combination of the above procedure to achieve effective, youthful looking results.
All face lifts are performed under general anesthesia which is not recommended for elderly people as its side effects include forgetfulness. Anesthetic is also thought to be a potential trigger for long-term memory loss.
Your plastic surgeon will also probably give you a list of medications that you will not be allowed to take for two weeks before surgery. These include medications such
as aspirin, antidepressants or serotonin supplements. This is because these drugs can cause excessive breathing.
Many plastic surgeons also refuse to operate on a pack a day smoker. This is because smoking delays healing and can cause a very dangerous condition known as necrosis (skin death.)
Depending on what procedures you have had you can recovery time of at least a month and in many cases up to three or four months. You may not be able to attend work for up to three weeks as that is how long your face may seem swollen. Be prepared for some discomfort and restricted movement, especially during the first three days after the operation as you may not even be able to turn your head without pain or disrupting healing. You are also not advised to sleep on your back so you may experience back problems or cramps from sleeping propped up all the time.
Be aware too that many people find the recovery phase which can involved a bandaged face, pus, bleeding, scabbing to be very difficult to handle emotionally. You must be mentally and emotionally stable to undergo a face-lift. Many people experience depression after a plastic surgery as the bruising and swelling makes it hard to look at oneself in the mirror. This is why people who already suffer from depression, manic depression or chronically low self-esteem are not great candidates for plastic surgery.
