I've had both upper and lower eye lid surgery, arm reduction and a tummy tuck. I am a smoker and am 51 years old. I've healed fine in all cases. Why can't I have a neck or facelift?
Smoking creates two serious issues with a facelift that are not present in other operations. Smokers have a higher carbon monoxide component in their bloodstream, which preferentially binds to red blood cells so that oxygen cannot get to the tissues. The second component is nicotine, a vasoconstrictor, which further compromises the delivery of oxygen to the tissues. Simply put, the skin around the incision can slough and die due to smoking. This is why most surgeons will not perform a facelift on smokers.
Hi i have a skeletal and dental defect which are both 2mm to the left will that affect the result of a facelift?
A 2 mm skeletal and dental defect is probably not enough to significantly affect results from a facelift.
I have recently had a partial facelift that unfortunately did not correct my marionette folds. I have had filler in the past which also did not adequately reduce/correct these. I am considering having these folds excised. I realize that there is much controversy surrounding this procedure due to the issue of scarring. In my mind I would trade a small likely imperceptible scar for obvious and glaring marionette folds. I would appreciate any input. Thanks so much.
Direct excision of marionette fold is probably not the best idea since it will result in a prominent visible scar. A total and comprehensive face/neck lift should lift the marionette folds quite well. Any residual marionette lines can be augmented with injectable fillers. In 20 years of private practice, we have never excised marionette folds.
