Preoperative
In order for you to do a face lift safely, we must assess your general condition based on your possible drug and environmental allergies, personal and family pathological history, habitual and past medication, possible previous surgical interventions, toxic habits (tobacco), accidents, etc. .
In case of requiring general anesthesia, it is also necessary to have a general analysis, chest x-ray and electrocardiogram. With this study, the patient is visited by an anesthesiologist who will verify the results, as well as solve any doubts.
At Guadalupe González Clinic we will also take preoperative photographs, which will help us before, during and after the facelift.
Surgical technique
The lifting is performed in an operating room with local anesthesia and sedation or general anesthesia, depending on each patient. It usually lasts approximately 3 to 4 hours, depending on the technique required for each case.
Taking into account the anatomical structures to be modified, an incision is usually made at the level of the temple that continues along the natural folds of the ears, surrounding them and ending at the level of the scalp, always following the natural folds so that the scars be as sneaky as possible. This technique can be combined with cervical and chin liposuction to improve facial contour, while placing elastic threads to maintain skin tension.
Currently, work is initially done on the underlying muscles and later the skin is tightened, eliminating the excess.
You can leave some drains and a bandage that is usually removed 24 hours after surgery.
POSTOPERATIVE
This surgery can be done on an outpatient basis, staying a few hours in the clinic after the surgery or spending the night in the hospital. In both cases the patient wears a bandage and a regimen of anti-inflammatory medication and antibiotics. To reduce inflammation and possible bruising, the patient should keep the head elevated and avoid straining. After the first week, you can start to remove the stitches, but it is advisable to keep a bandage until the inflammation subsides.
