I've had several consultations. One doctor puts in drains, one doesn't, and one uses glue.
The use of drains during a facelift is usually required. When performing a minifacelift, the area of dissection is smaller so drains are not needed. However, for a full facelift, the use of drains can not only remove unwanted fluid, but can speed up healing by preventing fluid accumulation. If fluid collects under the skin, the healing will take longer. The drains are usually left in for one day following the procedure then carefully removed by your surgeon or a registered nurse, and most patients are not even aware they are in place. Be sure to discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon.
Since I am quite old and have lots of wrinkles will it be worth my while and how successful will the results be and how long will they last? Kelly
A Facelift is a surgical procedure that improves signs of aging in the face and neck. It helps correct sagging in face, tightens loose skin, and removes excess fatty tissue under the chin and jaw. A facelift usually lasts anywhere from 5 - 10 years, depending on how well you take care of yourself. Even though you continue to age, you will always look better than if you didn't go through the procedure. Age is not as important when getting a Facelift as your health. If you are able to safely undergo anesthesia, then why not feel better about how your face and neck appear? Be sure to discuss your concerns with a board certifid facial plastic or plastic surgeon - if you have a lot of wrinkles, you may need laser resurfacing at the same time.
I'm considering a brow and facelift. How long will the results last. Do people look a little strange as the face starts to fall again as the years go by...I'm mean, do things fall in a weird way because of the previous surgeries?
The results of a browlift and facelift typically last 5-10 years. The length of time primarily depends on your overall state of health and how you take care of yourself. If you smoke, are in the sun a lot, and have many weight fluctuations, then the results will not last as long. In general, you should not look "wierd" as time goes by. The primary goal of a good surgeon would be to keep you looking natural. Certain techniques used during a facelift can help you to look natural as aging continues such as a more vertical pull on the tissues as opposed to a posterior pull. Be sure to find a board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon with a lot of experience in facelifting for the best results.
