(Newswire.net — July 11, 2014) Fairfax, VA — Facelift treatments are really common amongst men and women in their 50’s or 60’s. Among the problems that individuals run into with aging are the following:

 

1. Loss of muscle tone and skin elasticity in the face and neck.
2. Jowls and deep folds around the nose and mouth.
3. Deep creases of the neck and face.
4. Tired appearance.
5. Less specified chin and drooping neck.

 

Dr. Victoria Suh, a facelift specialist in Northern Virginia, has a goal of making it look natural and not “pulled”. The idea is to tighten up the skin of the face from the eyes down to the neck, raising it into a more younger position. Depending upon the severity of the five aspects noted above, a personalized medical plan is created to renew the face and neck. Although terms in facelift varies from cosmetic surgeon to specialist, general strategies consist of the following types of facelifts.

 

Requirement facelift. A requirement (or complete) facelift is suggested if all 5 needs above are present, consisting of evident sagging and noticeable jowls. This strategy strongly addresses all issues by getting rid of any excess in skin and connective tissues are tightened while lifting the skin. Incisions are hidden around the earlobe, in the hairline, and in the shape of the ear. A small laceration under the chin might be considered if excess fat needs to be eliminated and if the muscle in the neck requires extra smoothing.

 

Mini facelift. If the primary issue is moderate loss of muscle tone and skin flexibility in addition to a tired appearance, a mini-facelift might be the proper treatment. This method tightens up and raises the skin but consists of limited or no work on the neck or musculature and is planned to deal with minimal signs of aging. Due to the fact that the lacerations are much shorter than in a basic facelift, this technique usually has a much shorter recuperation period. This strategy is usually better fit for more youthful clients with very little skin laxity.

 

Brief scar facelift. This type of mini facelift, called a Prolonged Minimal Gain access to Cranial Suspension Lift, is appropriate if there is moderate or moderate skin laxity. It deals with the face just– not the neck– and lifts the face vertically, not to the back. It leaves less scars and is less intrusive to the face as a whole.

A number of the above rejuvenating strategies could be considered, depending upon how much enhancement is wanted and the cosmetic surgeon’s preferences. Hence, it is very important that the surgeon fully understand the client’s main concerns. An in-person appointment with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon in Northern Virginia permits the doctor to advise appropriate techniques and assist the client choose the very best facelift treatment to attend to specific issues.
