Facelifts
In the past 10 years or so, the facelift has undergone many changes and now the term covers a variety of procedures. Surgeons categories facelifts according to the area of the face they are to address.

A lower third and neck lift tightens the neck, redefines the jaw line and improves sagging jowls. A mid facelift addresses sagging in the upper cheeks. Brow lifts raise the level of the eyebrows and improve wrinkling in the forehead. There are also mini-lifts and necks only lifts which are more superficial and are often performed on younger patients and combined with facial liposuction.
Once the facelift was merely a skin tightening process, however surgeons began to realise that the problem of the sagging face was due to a laxity in the supporting muscles and tissues, pulling the skin out of shape, it down.

The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeutic system) facelift was developed. This technique tightened the muscles and soft tissue underneath the skin. This gave a more natural look.
Individual surgeons have their own techniques and styles, so when considering a facelift it is important to consult with a number of surgeons to find the one you feel will give you the procedure that suits you best. Always ask how many facelifts the surgeon has performed, how frequently and how recently. Techniques have changed over the years and ideally you want somebody who keeps up-to-date with modern trends in surgery.

A facelift can be performed under general anesthetic or under sedation with local anesthetic. You should expect a recovery period of between two to three weeks and in the case of mini-lifts, about one week. The results should be long-lasting - up to 10 years or more depending on the type of facelift, the skill of the surgeon and your health and lifestyle.
