FACELIFT & NECK LIFT
The facelift procedure involves the lifting or
resuspension of the face with the aim of producing a rejuvenated appearance.
As we get older, our facial tissues droop due to gravity & reduced skin elasticity. Surgery can address this problem by resuspending the tissues
involved and removing excess stretched tissue.
The traditional facelift typically resuspends cheeks,
defines the jawline and removes excess neck skin.
Possible complications of facelift surgery
The overall complication rate is low. Possible complications include:
- poor wound healing
- skin sloughing
- scarring
- nerve injury
- asymmetrical face
- hair loss around scar line
Smoking considerably increases the frequency of
complications, particularly skin loss, infection and scars
of poor quality.
