Face and Neck Lifting
There are several factors that accelerate the formation of wrinkles on the face and neck, such as aging, sun exposure, and some genetic factors. Therefore, the face and neck lift procedure is designed to rejuvenate and enhance the appearance of youthfulness.
Face and neck lift is a surgical cosmetic procedure that involves tightening the facial muscles, skin, and underlying tissues, along with eliminating sagging skin. Often, face and neck lift surgery is performed simultaneously with liposuction, eyelid surgery, forehead lift, and chin enhancement to achieve optimal facial rejuvenation.
This procedure is considered relatively delicate and complex, so it is only performed by the most skilled cosmetic surgeons. Dr. Mutaz Alshakhanbah has performed many of these surgeries, with patients achieving amazing and satisfying results.
The aim of face and neck lift surgery is to restore a more youthful appearance by eliminating prominent wrinkles and sagging skin in the lower part of the face.
The face and neck lifting procedure involves making incisions along the hairline, the front part of the ear, around the earlobe, and behind the ear. Excess skin in the face and neck is removed, and sagging muscles and tissues are tightened. In some cases, excess fat may be removed from under the chin and neck. The surgical incisions are closed with small stitches.
Preparation for Surgery:
Dr. Mutaz will note any illnesses you have or have had in the past, as well as any medications you are taking, including herbal treatments and supplements. Then a comprehensive examination of your face and neck will be conducted, and some photographic images may be taken. Measurements of your height and weight will also be taken to ensure the safety of the procedure. If you are overweight or planning to become pregnant, the surgeon may suggest postponing the operation.
Recovery from Surgery:
The recovery period varies from person to person depending on their condition and response to cosmetic surgery, but generally, mild to moderate pain is expected, controlled with pain relievers prescribed by the doctor, and the following are likely:
Some swelling in the face is expected, and the patient will be provided with specific instructions regarding applying compresses to the face. The swelling is expected to decrease after one week.
Stitches and staples are removed after 5-10 days in the clinic. You can return to work after 1.5-2 weeks.
You can drive after 1-2 weeks of surgery.
You can gradually resume physical activity after 2-4 weeks of surgery.
It is normal for a person to feel tightness in the face for several weeks, and to obtain the best results, it is recommended to avoid exposure to sunlight for several weeks after the operation, and it is necessary to use sunscreen after complete recovery from the operation.
