As we age, it is natural for our skin to lose its elasticity and for wrinkles and lines to appear on the face. Unfortunately, we cannot stop the aging process, but there are methods that will help to reverse the signs. If you are looking for a Chicago facelift or a consultation for face lift cost, then contacting us – a renowned, board certified plastic surgery center with over 25 years of experience is the right choice.
Facelifts known as Rhytidectomy come in many different types and are one of the most common cosmetic procedures performed in our society. In addition to full face lift the doctor performs many other face related procedures including - mini face lift, forehead and brow lift, eye lid surgery, neck lift and chin and cheek augmentation with your own fat cells and implants. Modern medicine has advanced substantially, and so, getting a natural facelift is easier and more available than ever. If you are in or near Chicago and you want a facelift, there are various surgery options you can choose from. The team at MiRadiance will help you to identify a procedure that will work best for you.
Facelifting and related procedures can provide a natural looking and longer lasting results than ever before. A plastic surgeon will tailor the procedure specifically to your needs. The doctor will explain the benefits and drawbacks, the steps involved, and what to do before you get the face lift surgery. Smokers will be advised to stop smoking for at least two weeks prior, as the nicotine can affect your circulatory system.
A full facelift is performed by making incisions around the hairline. Under general anesthetic, your physician will then separate the skin from the underlying fat and either suction or trim this fat. All of our facelifts are performed with a SMAS technique that utilizes a two layer closure that is much more effective and longer lasting that the traditional skin facelift. The skin is then tightened, any extra skin is trimmed off, and the face is then stitched back up. The stitches are normally placed in the hairline so that they don’t appear visible. This will help to smooth wrinkles and virtually eliminate wrinkles. There are a few different methods of performing natural looking face lifts.
In addition to the full facelift, following are a few of the most common facial plastic surgery procedures.
Mini facelift – This is a less invasive procedure than a full facelift with minimal downtime. It is used to improve the appearance of the jaw and to remove loose skin from the neck area. Patients must keep in mind that the results from a mini face lift are less dramatic than a full facelift. A small incision is made around the ears and the connective tissue underneath is tightened. As in a normal facelift, the extra skin is removed and the face is stitched back up. This is one of the most popular Chicago facelift surgeries.
Mid face lift – A mid face lift is used when a patient wishes to tighten sagging skin in the cheek area. Often, the doctor will insert a tiny camera into the area to better observe how the face lifting surgery is progressing.
Forehead and Brow lift – A forehead and brow lift procedure minimizes the creases that develop across forehead, or those that occur on the bridge of the nose. This procedure improves what are commonly referred to as frown lines and repositions a low or sagging brow.
Eyelid Surgery – Also known as Blepharoplasty, a cosmetic surgeon may recommend eyelid surgery to improve the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, and to give you a rejuvenated appearance to the surrounding area of your eyes, making you look more rested and alert. In most cases the doctor performs the eyelid surgery as an outpatient procedure under mild sedation.
Chin and Cheek Augmentation – Another procedure that can bring balance to the face is soft tissue augmentation. By inserting implants, a surgeon may be able to strengthen your jaw line, or bring out your chin and cheekbones. Some patients may be good candidates for implants to reshape the face, or to fill out a face that appears sunken. A more recent and popular option is using the patients own fat to augment certain areas in the face while contouring other areas at the same time.
Ear Pinning - Otoplasty, also known as ear pinning surgery, is an effective choice for setting prominent ears closer to the head. In most cases, a doctor performs ear surgery as an outpatient procedure, giving remarkable results with little downtime for the patient. The procedure is performed through an incision behind the ear in the crease rendering essentially no visible scar.
