The reason this seems strange is because our underlying facial structure changes with age. When a facelift doesn't seem natural, it's usually because the patient's skin appears to have been stretched upward or to the side, almost as if their skin is being pulled backward by a strong wind. Not only does the outer skin become thinner and begins to sag, but the fat, muscles, and even bones in the face lose shape and volume. For this reason, a natural-looking facelift should also focus significantly on the underlying tissue, rather than focusing exclusively on the skin.
Nothing can make a facelift look more unnatural than saggy, creepy neck skin that doesn't match the youthful appearance of your new face. If you're undergoing a facelift, talk to Dr. Dardano about the possibility of having a neck lift at the same time. For a long time it has been thought that facial aging is due to excessive sagging of the skin.
of the face. In fact, for decades, the primary method for reversing this has been to tighten the skin by performing exclusively cutaneous facelifts.
Since older facelifting techniques focused solely on repositioning the skin, patients who underwent these (in fact, sometimes multiple) lifts obtained a stretched and unnatural appearance.
In some cases, the eyebrows and forehead were also raised, giving them a startled appearance. The best patients for these treatments are often those who show minimal signs of aging and may not be good candidates for facelifts anyway. This is because you're probably recalling images of celebrities whose stretched skin seemed too tight and too shiny.The goal of modern facelift surgery is to create a natural, rejuvenated look so that patients appear a younger version of themselves. Zenn uses when performing facelifts to give her patients more youthful contours without completely changing their appearance. Many patients comment after surgery that no one noticed that they had undergone a facelift; however, your before-and-after images improve dramatically. While neither of these procedures is a complete facelift, they are designed to rejuvenate certain areas of the face.
Many patients also benefit from eyebrow or eyelid lift surgery (known as blepharoplasty) in addition to a facelift. For example, in a deep-plane facelift, the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) is raised and resuspended, reversing the effects of gravity. Deep-plane facelifts have been shown to have lower “replacement” rates and, therefore, offers longer lasting results. Because of this, your facelift need not be so extreme that the double chin will take twenty years to reappear.
If so, you know that when you have significant loss of facial volume, excessive double chin, or sagging chin or neck, the best rejuvenation can only come from a surgical facelift performed by an expert. Getting the result of a facelift that you love is all about looking like a younger version of yourself, rather than taking it to the extreme extreme possible. Taking this further, extended subplatysmal facelifting (lead author's technique) improves the neck contour of natural form. Depending on the extent of the facelift procedure and the patient's medical problems, patients usually return to normal activities and work within two weeks.
As there are so many options available to patients besides surgery, this has led to misconceptions and myths about facelifts...
