Important Considerations in Facelift Surgery

Many women may consider the late summer appropriate time to consider facial rejuvenation procedures. It is a time to allow adequate healing prior to the start of the holiday season. Facelift surgery is an area of cosmetic surgery that requires a thorough preoperative evaluation by your plastic surgeon with a detailed stepwise approach to your facial aging. The key to this procedure is creating a natural harmonious result. You want to look refreshed and more youthful, and also maintain a natural and elegant look. It is essential that your surgeon take the time fully understand your aging concerns and then provide you with a detailed analysis. Typically the face is divided into an upper, middle, and lower aesthetic unit. Each unit has unique aging characteristics and must be addressed individually. Next, these units must be assessed as a whole to ensure they blend into a natural look. It does not matter how good your surgeon is, but if your neck looks 40 and your eyes look 60, you will have a very unnnatural look. Depending on the analysis of your forehead, eyebrows, eyelids, central face, outer face, and neck; a detailed plan can be devised. A key understanding of facial anatomy and how to appropriately redistribute or enhance the facial volume to create a natural look is the essence of facelift surgery.
