FACELIFTS

A facelift is considered by many to be the gold-standard method of facial rejuvenation. However, the term ‘facelift’ is often used to refer to a wide range of procedures that have many different implications and outcomes. Understanding what a facelift entails, as well as the intricacies of each variation, is key to ensuring you choose an option that best addresses your concerns.

WHAT IS A
FACELIFT?

Contrary to the name, a surgical facelift does not impact the full face – but rather the lower face and neck. Designed to remove loose skin and tissue from the jawline and neck, it is achieved by making incisions around the ears, repositioning the facial muscles, then tidying up any excess skin, to create a smooth and refreshed appearance. While highly effective at remodelling the lower face and neck, a facelift has very little impact on the cheeks and mouth area – and virtually no impact at all on the eyes, brows or forehead. For that reason, a Lower Face and Neck Lift is often combined with other procedures, both surgical and non-surgical, to address changes in the other areas of the face.

MODERN
FACELIFTS

Facelifts

In decades gone by, our understanding of the ageing process was more limited. We assumed that the face aged as a result of gravity causing the tissues to drop – therefore, facelift surgery evolved on the basis of pulling tissues as tight as possible. However, in their efforts to reposition the tissues to a more youthful position, surgeons found that pulling tighter simply resulted in an unnatural, “windswept” appearance – a tell-tale sign of having had surgery.

It has only been in the last few decades that we’ve come to truly understand the effect of volume loss on the face, and how this impacts the three-dimensional facial structure. Consequently, the modern approach to full face-lifting revolves around holistic volume restoration to the entire face.
