Face is the focal point of our appearance. And it’s the face which we care for the most among all other body parts. Facial skin is also the most delicate hence more vulnerable to sun damage and other skin affecting conditions than the rest of the body. Wrinkles and sagginess can appear with or without ageing which tend to affect in your appearance and are sometimes pretty upsetting.

Facelift is a minimal invasive cosmetic surgery, scientifically known as Rhytidoplasty which is for treatment of fine lines and wrinkles, redefining the contour of the neck and jaw line to reveal a younger and rejuvenated face.

Causes of accelerated ageing of facial skin

Nasolabial Fold – As we age, the soft facial tissue of the skin is pulled by gravity gradually creasing the skin around the nose to the side of the mouth line. Skin around the jaw line and chin become loose and lackluster.

Sun exposure is a primary cause of premature wrinkling of the face. But even if you are not excessively exposed to the Sun, involuntary climate conditions in this age of global warming with harsh UV rays and humidity have almost the same effect as direct Sunrays.

Wrinkling and skin ageing is also hereditary. And it’s not uncommon for younger people to have wrinkles and fine lines referred as accelerated ageing.

Other than climatic conditions, habits of smoking and alcohol also affect the skin. Involuntary sensitivity to air conditioning and the make-up products you are using may also be a cause of accelerated skin ageing.

Facelift Surgery

Facelift using Vaser Lipo involves making two tiny incisions in the cranial area near to the hairline under local anesthesia; the scars get hidden in the folds of hair. After making the incisions the skin of the cheek area is loosened with a special instrument and pulled up, then stitched upwards under tension. The incisions are then sutured with a few stitches hidden by the hair. For best results surgeons suggest a pressure dressing for 2 weeks.
