Despite the uniform excellent results,
understanding the limitations of face/neck lifting and the need to
utilize other procedures is crucial for success. First, the
patients learn that a facelift means lifting of the cheek, jowls and
neck. Incisions are placed in the hairline and around the ear.
In all cases, these incisions are placed in a natural skin crease for
camouflage and without the need for shaving of hair. The surgery
can take 2-4 hours, usually performed under intravenous sedation, and
without any patient discomfort. Following surgery, a dressing is
applied to protect the face and is removed the day after. Many
surgeons use a daily magnetic resonance imaging (Soft Pulse), massage
and ultrasound to hasten postoperative healing. Most patients are
cosmetically sociable in 10-14 days.
The "turkey
neck" can have an aging impact on your entire appearance. The
method to achieve this result is called platysmaplasty, or the
stitching of the underlying muscles in the front of the neck and back
borders, tightening the muscle like a corset. Once the underlying
structure is in place, the skin on top is draped over, with the process
continued up to the cheek area, if needed. The underlying work, which
removes fat before the skin is draped, is vital to a good neck lift. If
the underlying area is not sufficiently treated, laxity will remain and
the "neck bands" will return sooner, as the skin stretches in the first
12-18 months post-op. Undertreating is more commonly seen than
overtreating. In the latter case, skin circulation could be compromised
and the skin could scar. Non-conservative, deliberate overtreatment is
difficult to justify, even though a slightly longer lasting result may
be achieved.
