With time, gravity, and sun exposure you may experience loosening
of the skin and underlying facial muscles leading to a tired
or aged appearance. Face lifts are usually done on men and women
in their 40's-60's to give a rejuvenated appearance. However,
the results are favorable for those in the 60-80 age range as
well.
Procedure
Face lift surgery, also known as Rhytidectomy, is a procedure
that is used to reshape or contour the lower two-thirds of the
face. A face lift will provide tightening of the skin and muscles
to improve cheek, jowl, and neck contour. Dr. Preissner uses the
latest techniques in facial contouring. Incisions are hidden
behind the hairline, inside the ear, as well as behind the ear
and scalp leaving patients with minimal hidden scars. After
underlying muscles are tightened and fat suctioned, the excess
skin is pulled up and back, trimmed, and sutured into place.
Liposuctioning and underlying muscle tightening will leave you
with a natural, well-rested appearance.
A forehead lift or brow-lift corrects the upper one third of
the face. It raises the brows to a higher level, removes lines
that run across the forehead, and removes lines that run vertically
between the eyebrows. Forehead lifts also aid in correcting
upper eyelid ptosis. A forehead lift may be done in combination
with a face lift or independently.
A neck lift is part of the lower face lift that improves the
neck and jaw line.
Ideal Candidates
- Patients with a deep line that runs from the corner of the
nose to the
corner of the mouth
- Patients who do not have a well defined jaw line
- Patients who have deep wrinkles in the cheeks, and sagging
skin
near the cheekbones
- Patients with loose skin, wrinkles, or excess fatty tissue
in the neck
- Patients who are in good health
- Patients who are doing it for the right reasons (i.e. for
themselves)
- Patients with realistic expectations
Risks and Complications
Risks and complications may include but are not limited to bleeding,
infection, scarring, damage to deeper structures, asymmetry,
nerve injury, improper healing, numbness, allergic reactions,
and risks and complications associated with anesthesia. Although
complications can occur, they are rare.
Risks and potential complications of surgery are best discussed
at the time of your consultation.
Smokers have a greater risk of skin loss, pulmonary, and wound
healing complications.
It is extremely important with this procedure to avoid aspirin
and aspirin-containing medications two weeks prior to surgery.
It is also mandatory to avoid situations that will raise the
blood pressure post surgery.
In/Out Patient
The procedure is done as an out-patient using IV sedation and
local anesthesia. This procedure usually takes two to three
hours and may be performed with other facial procedures.

| Need to know |

| Recovery |
| |
After surgery, a bandage will be wrapped
around your head to help relieve some swelling.
Drains are also placed to help drain fluids that may accumulate,
and are removed the following day.
After forty-eight hours the bandages will be removed, and you
will be able to shower.
Stitches in front of the ear are removed within the first week,
and the rest of the sutures will be removed within two weeks.
Makeup may be worn to conceal bruising.
By ten to fourteen days non-strenuous work and light exercise
may be resumed.
After four to six weeks, more strenuous exercise may be resumed.
The final results will be apparent within one year.
Keep in mind, your face lift will turn back the hands of time,
but, does not stop the aging process.
Longer lasting results tend to occur on patients who are younger,
do not smoke, and do not have sun-damaged skin. |
