A facelift or rhytidectomy is an operation that is performed to rejuvenate the face as it ages. The face is generally divided into thirds, the upper, middle, and lower face. Depending on which of these areas may be the focus, a combination of these operations may be performed.
A Face Lift (technically known as rhytidectomy) can't stop this aging process. What it can do is "set back the clock," improving the most visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck. A facelift can be done alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as a forehead lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping.
Mini Face Lift or S Face Lift. The mini face lift rejuvenates the lower third of the face including the jowls and neck.

Facial rejuvenation usually means different things to different people. There are non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments and procedures used to improve slight facial imperfections. There are plastic surgery procedures that can dramatically improve the appearance of the face. All of these are forms of facial rejuvenation. The most successful approach may be a combination of procedures and treatments for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation strategy.

  Americans spent over $1 billion on Facelift and Facial surgery in 2005, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Facelift (Rhytidectomy) is a major procedure to treat facial skin laxity and sagging. The vast majority of facelifts are performed in people 35-64 years of age (81%).  
 
- Special
 
 
More people than ever before –men and women- are enjoying the benefits that facelift surgery can offer. As we all know, we weren’t born with sags in our faces, which can distort our facial shape, give a tired or angry look, and change our view of ourselves.

As people age, the effects of gravity, exposure to the sun, and the stresses of daily life can be seen in their faces. Deep creases form between the nose and mouth; the jawline grows slack and jowly; folds and fat deposits appear around the neck.
 
 Facelifts may be categorized by
Type of incision
The number of tissue layers treated during the procedure
Area of the face
Invasiveness of the procedure

  How is a facelift done?
 
Incisions are made on either side of the face from inside the hairline at the temples, in front of the ear, around the earlobe, in the crease behind the ear and to the lower scalp. The design of these incisions may vary from patient to patient and according to the surgeon's personal technique. Loose skin is pulled up and backward, and the excess is removed. A layer of tissue over the facial muscles can be tightened as well, and this can greatly enhance the results of the facelift, especially on the neck.

Facelift incisions are very easily hidden in the hair and around the creases of the ear. Most facelift patients (even with the more extensive lifts) are able to resume normal (but not strenuous) activities within a week to ten days. All facelifts are performed under local anesthesia as an out-patient. Nurses can be arranged for care post surgery as needed.
 
  What to Expect if You Have A Facelift
 
You will have a bandage for the first night. The tiny surgical drains placed in the hair behind your ears will be painlessly removed along with your bandages on the following morning. After an eyelid procedure, ice compresses are applied for 24 hours, but the eyes are not bandaged and lubricating ointment/drops used may cause blurred vision for one to two hours. Immediately after the Facelift, you may notice a tight sensation in the neck and under the chin. This feeling may last several weeks and is a normal part of recovery.

Some swelling and discoloration is expected following your Facelift, but usually subsides within 10-14 days. Your surgeon will want to examine you several times during the weeks following your Facelift. Your stitches will be removed in stages, usually between the third and tenth postoperative days.

As people age and their skin loses elasticity and tone, the cheeks and eyelids tend to sag, creating a tired or haggard look. Mid facelift is a plastic surgery procedure that restores a smooth, youthful look to the lower eyelids and cheeks. Below you will learn who is a candidate for mid facelift surgery, the details of the surgical procedure, and the cost associated with the procedure.
 
Candidates for Mid Facelift Surgery
 
Mid face lift surgery targets the area around the nose, eyes, and corners of the mouth. These procedures are particularly effective for patients seeking cheek elevation when the neck and areas beneath the chin do not require lifting. While some surgeons perform mid face lift surgery with traditional lower face lift techniques, many utilize endoscopic face lift techniques to improve precision and recovery time.
 
Mid Facelift Procedure
 
During a mid face lift, small, deep incisions are made in the muscle tissue of the face. If the surgeon so chooses, an endoscope (a small, camera-like device) is inserted through the incisions to view the procedure internally. Once the incisions are made, the doctor adjusts the fat and muscle tissue, pulling up the middle of the face to smooth and tighten the skin.
Finally, the incisions are sutured and the healing process begins. After a mid face lift, typical recovery time is about one week, possibly shorter when endoscopic mid face lift techniques are used. Because this procedure is more focused and less invasive than a standard face lift or deep plane face lift, mid face lift patients experience quicker results with less bruising and swelling.
 
Mid Facelift Techniques
 
Surgeons have two different mid facelift techniques at their disposal. In the traditional technique, the surgeon gains access to the cheeks and lower eyelids by using an incision hidden in the lower lash line. Sometimes a surgeon will also make an incision in the nasolabial fold. This traditional technique is best suited to patients primarily needing their tissues to be lifted upward, rather than horizontally or diagonally.
The second technique is able to produce somewhat more dramatic results. In this method, the procedure is performed through two endoscopic incisions placed in the temples, hidden behind the hairline. This gives the surgeon a pair of access points through which he can lift facial muscles and skin both vertically and diagonally.
Regardless of which technique is used, the mid facelift is able to correct under-eye bags, hollowness in the upper cheeks, and prominent nasal folds.
 
  Commonly Combined Non-Invasive or Minimally Invasive Procedures
 
A comprehensive treatment plan may include multiple non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures. For example, a comprehensive treatment plan may include injectables and fillers such as Radiesse, Restylane, Fat Fillers, and Collagen to fill in wrinkles in the nasiofold area, chin, cheeks, and to add fullness to hollowed areas. Botox® may be added to relieve the muscle contraction that causes forehead wrinkles and crow's feet.

Certain skin-resurfacing procedures such as microdermabrasion, chemical peel, and laser treatments may be recommended along with facial fillers and injectables for optimal results. The recommendations for specific facial fillers and ingestible in the same location or at the same time may vary our doctors will help you to make decision of combining facial fillers, ingestible, and skin-resurfacing procedures.
