Are you ready to have a face lift? Nowadays, people as young as thirty years old are having
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 fields of art, entertainment and performance.First of all you need to consider that a face lift will not necessarily correct sagging tissues around 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 procedure that is right for you make sure that you know all of your options by familiarizing yourself with all of different types of face lifts that are available. These include standard face lift, neck lift, S lift (which also pulls ears up and back), SOOF (which repositions under eye fat), deep plane lift (which removes grooves from nose to mouth), temporal lift (which raises eyebrows) and mid-face lift (also known as eye lift. Depending on your needs, your surgery may include a combination of 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.
