Before starting with the procedure, Dr. Medha Bhave, best facelift Surgeon in Thane provides the patient with anesthesia. In a complete facelift the incision starts from the hairline behind the sideburns, just in front of the ear, and runs down in front of the ear. Then it turns around the ear lobe and ends at the hairline behind the ear. The incision is hidden within natural skin folds, so it does not show up prominently later. Then the skin is lifted up, and the tissue present underneath is mobilized and pulled up towards the incision line and fixed. Then the skin is draped back in place and stitched. Any excess tissue and skin can be trimmed.

Note: Often in younger people, a smaller procedure through a short incision can be offered.

Indian patients have thicker skin. Their main concern is nasolabial folds. They can get benefit from lower lid blepharoplasty with midface lift carried out through incisions hidden in the lower eyelid crease. This also restores the droopy cheek and provides a more rejuvenated look.

Sometimes, a brow lift, blepharoplasty (repair of baggy eyelids), or fat transfer to the face can be combined with facelift operation for even better results.

FACELIFT TYPES

Full facelift

It is also known as a traditional facelift. The full facelift addresses the lower two-third portion of the face and helps reposition sagging cheeks and other loose facial tissues vertically.
The treatment removes the loose skin present on the neck and cheeks and helps restore the jawline definition. The incision of this process is made discreetly around and behind the ears.

short scar facelift

It is also known as mini face loft and technically termed as SMAS lift. The treatment is most popular among young individuals, as it reduces minor sagging on the lower face area and neck. The incision is smaller compared to a full facelift, and the recovery time is also reduced compared to a full facelift.

FAQs Facelift Surgeon in Thane

What is facelift and how does it help? Who are the experts in this surgery?

Face lift is a plastic surgery procedure that seeks to restore a youthful look to the face by partially reversing some of the changes which make the face look older.
Qualified plastic surgeons with M. Ch. and/or DNB degrees in the field of plastic surgery are the right people to get this surgery done from.

When performed by a qualified and best face lift surgeon in Mumbai Dr. Medha Bhave, this excellent procedure can make the face look younger by about 5 to 7 years, and the effect lasts for a similar number of years!

What are the effects of ageing on the face? How does one look old?

To understand this surgery, we must first see what causes the face to look older as the years go by.

A) the skin loses its elasticity, thickness and suppleness
B) the pad of fat, sitting just under the skin and giving shape to your face, tends to become
     thinner with age.

This is the result of daily wear and tear which is further worsened by the sun damage. Stress, pollution, Smoking, dietary deficiency, hormonal changes are some factors that add fuel to the fire.

Due to these changes, the skin, which is under constant downward pull due to gravity, starts sagging, especially around the eyes -producing baggy eyelids, and around the jaw, resulting in sagging jowls. The fold of skin from the outer side of the nose, running down along the outer side of the mouth, tends to become prominent and deep. Neck folds and dynamic wrinkles develop.

Facelift surgery corrects these changes. Ideally it can be combined with some procedure to rejuvenate the skin to get even better results! Finally, your plastic surgeon will also look at other factors such as stress relief and healthy nutrition, because beauty isn't just skin deep, it's closely related to your health…

Will I feel pain during the procedure?

No, general anesthesia is used during the procedure. If instead of a full facelift, a limited procedure is planned, then it may be done under local anesthesia. After surgery some pain may be felt on first day, like any other operation. This can be controlled by medication as required.

What is the recovery period and downtime afterwards?

There is swelliing and bruising of the face that slowly subsides over 2-3 weeks. After 2 weeks, you will begin to look reasonably well with makeup, and after 3 weeks you may step out to social functions. However, this recovery period is variable. Some people experience prolonged bruising. The scar itself disappears gradually over 6 months to a year. Most of the facial swelling goes away by 2-3 weeks but complete disappearance of the swelling may take anywhere from 3-6 months.

Any Do s and Don't s after operation?

Most important is to wear a neck and chin strap as advised by the surgeon irrespective of your like or dislike. If you are wary of the strap ask the surgeon beforehand. The strap is essential for optimum recovery in reasonable time. Do not remove it often.

Do rest for a week at home, but start walking in your room early, as advised.
