Lifting Self-Esteem while Saving Face
Face lifts are common cosmetic surgery procedures growing in popularity each and every day. Three familiar choices offer individuals different degrees of results, along with different risks of complications. Gaining a lot of attention as a newcomer to the cosmetic surgery scene is the Minimal Access Cranial Suspension face lift. Widely practiced in Europe before making its way to the states, MACS engineers suspension sutures during the procedure to produce a less invasive method without sacrificing results. Intended to provide clients with results showcasing a more youthful contour and rejuvenated face, recovery is minimal with bruising and swelling notably acceptable within 10 to 20 days post-surgery.
A mini face lift is another method used to treat minor skin elasticity issues and loss of muscle tone in the face and neck areas. This approach has been nicknamed a “weekend” face lift with its appeal of a shorter recovery period than the traditional face lift. The endoscopic or non-endoscopic method can be performed with endoscopic involving 3 or more small incision around the treated area. Non-endoscopic utilizes continuous incisions and turns over skin to expose the targeted skin.
Finally, the traditional face lift surgery comes with more dramatic results plus a higher risk for complications. A higher price tag also accompanies this method. By pulling sagging skin back and up, the traditional face lift displays a intensely tightened finished appearance. It can be used for deep plane lifts as well as feather lifts. As with many major surgical procedures, the risk of complications is elevated including cardiac and pulmonary complications, bleeding, infection, numbness and scarring. This is a common practice for a wide range of individuals from 40-somethings to those well into their 80s.
