Different types of facelifts and how they work
If you are interested in knowing about the nitty-gritty procedure of the most common type of a facelift, read on. First, an incision under the hairline is made just above the ear and curving around it. The skin is then lifted off the underlying muscle and fat, lifted and repositioned. However, despite this being the most ‘everyday’ facelift, the skin does naturally stretch over time, making results not always as long lasted as desired. Despite this, the procedure offers lowered risks to tissues and nerves, and muscle layers can also be put in a better position to encourage long-lasting tightening. Any excess skin which is left over after all of this will be removed followed by incisions closed, ready for healing. (A SMAS facelift works in a similar way - referring to the superficial musculoaponeurotic system).
