Rhytidectomy / Face Lift Surgery: With time, gravity, and sun exposure you may experience loosening of the skin
and underlying facial muscles leading to a tired or aged appearance. Face lifts
are usually done on men and women in their 40's-60's to give a rejuvenated appearance.
However, the results are favorable for those in the 60-80 age range as well.

Rhytidectomy / Face Lift Procedure

Face lift surgery, also known as Rhytidectomy, is a procedure that
is used to reshape or contour the lower two-thirds of the face. A face lift will
provide tightening of the skin and muscles to improve cheek, jowl, and neck contour.
Dr. Rosso uses the latest techniques in facial contouring. Incisions are hidden
behind the hairline, inside the ear, as well as behind the ear and scalp leaving
patients with minimal hidden scars. After underlying muscles are tightened and
fat suctioned, the excess skin is pulled up and back, trimmed, and sutured into
place. Liposuctioning and underlying muscle tightening will leave you with a natural,
well-rested appearance. A forehead lift or
brow-lift corrects the upper one third of the face.
It raises the brows to a higher level, removes lines that run across the forehead,
and removes lines that run vertically between the eyebrows. Forehead lifts also
aid in correcting upper eyelid ptosis. A forehead lift may be done in combination
with a face lift or independently. A neck lift
is part of the lower face lift that improves the neck and jaw line.

After surgery, a bandage will be wrapped around your head to help relieve
some swelling. Drains are also placed to help drain fluids that may accumulate,
and are removed the following day. After forty-eight hours the bandages will be
removed, and you will be able to shower. Stitches in front of the ear are removed
within the first week, and the rest of the sutures will be removed within two
weeks. Makeup may be worn to conceal bruising. By ten to fourteen days non-strenuous
work and light exercise may be resumed. After four to six weeks, more strenuous
exercise may be resumed. The final results will be apparent within one year. Keep
in mind, your face lift will turn back the hands of time, but, does not stop the
aging process. Longer lasting results tend to occur on patients who are younger,
do not smoke, and do not have sun-damaged skin.
The procedure is done as an out-patient using IV sedation and local
anesthesia. This procedure usually takes two to three hours and may be performed
with other facial procedures.
