What Is A Lower Facelift?

Submitted by: Rena Graham

You must have heard about facelift surgery and what it can do for you. But I m sure you didn t expect that there could different variations to this antiaging procedure. One procedure in particular is a lower facelift. What makes this different from the traditional treatment? What benefits does it have? And what areas does it target specifically? These are just some of the questions that we ll tackle as we go along.

A lower facelift surgery is done to rejuvenate the lower third portion of the face. It targets the jowls, the area at the back of the chin and the saggy neck.

The procedure is performed by creating a small incision which starts at the front of the ear which then extends downwards, ending at the back of the ear. To improve the appearance of the neck, a small incision may also have to be created under the chin.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and sometimes an endoscopic instrument may have to be used so the surgeon can better visualize the internal structures.

Once the incisions are created, the surgeon separates the skin from the underlying skin tissue, and then removes excess fats while tightening the facial muscles before excess skin is trimmed and stretched. This will result to a smoother and more youthful appearance.

The surgeon finishes the procedure by closing the incisions with sutures which can be removed after a couple of days.

In order to create successful results, you need to make sure that you also prepare yourself physically. This means that you have to avoid any unhealthy habits such as smoking and alcohol because these can delay healing.

It also helps to shed off some weight first because any gain after the surgery can result to wrinkling.

A high blood pressure problem and blood thinning medications such as aspirin can also pose a risk during surgery. That is why you should inform your surgeon about this during consultation.

Any pulmonary condition should also be disclosed because this can also create a potential problem later on.

But the most important measure that you should take to ensure a successful surgery is to entrust this to a reputable surgeon. Someone who has a good eye out for aesthetics and the right judgment is highly likely to be successful at using the approach that would suit you best.

Other facelift techniques that is also used includes the S lift or the mini facelift .The reason why it may not be appropriate for the problems that can be treated by the lower facelift is that the mini only targets areas within the middle portion of the face and excludes the neck region.

So for patients who only have issues in the lower third of the face, a lower facelift can give you the right results which is much cheaper compared to a full work.

The face lift cost in Australia is around $15,000 and a lower facelift will just be about half of this. That is why it is important to get your consultation with surgeons who have your best interest in mind, and not those who immediately resort to aggressive measures.
