I know there are quite a few different types of facelifts ....vertical with extended lift etc. It's a bit overwhelming. Thanks in advance
Answer: Different Types Of Facelfits Thank you for your question. There are many facelift available whether it be under a general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic. All facelift should target the SMAS muscle therefore ensure the longevity. Different surgeon will have different places of where the scars will be and how long the scars are. When you have a consultation ensure to ask these questions. Ask to look at before and after pictures to see whether you like their results. A facelift typical targets the jowls and will soften the marionette lines, however if they are deep they will not be removed. This could be addressed with some dermal filler after the facelift. The facelift I perform is under a local anaesthetic which means a significantly reduced downtime.

Answer: Facelift that Fits you The best facelift includes addressing skin collagen loss, volume deficiency(marionette) and sagging tissue(jowls).The vertical lift of the face and neck tightening will best improve the neck, jawline and cheeks. Fat grafting adds volume to the facial deficient areas such as nasolabial , cheeks, lips and marionette lines. Regional erbium laser, peels and postoperative skin care maintenance address collagen loss in the skin.I would visit a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss all your options. We use the Vectra before and after face simulation system to help meet your expectations . Connecting with the correct facial surgeon is important in your decision making to proceed forward with a facelift.

Answer: Facelifts All techniques address the jowls and marionette lines to some extent. However, the SMAS lifts tend to have the best longevity with at the same time the most natural results.

Answer: Best facelift for marionette lines and jowls This is not a simple question, and there is not a simple answer. In reality, there no way to advise what type of facelift would be best for you without assessing your anatomy. While these 2 factors (marionette lines and jowls) may stand out to you, it is a facial assessment as a whole (including face and neck) is needed to come up with the best plan for you. The best type of facelift also varies by surgeon. Two surgeons doing the same "type" of facelift can get 2 very different results. You are correct in that the terminology can get confusing as a patient, and it is hard to compare surgeons in this regard. I think from a patient perspective, you can read about the different surgical techniques for interests sake if you want, but make sure ook at the surgeons credentials and results. You want to make sure you are choosing not only a properly trained and credentialed surgeon, but also one with results you find attractive. You may visit a surgeon reputed to be "the best" and find you don't like the surgeon's results, so that means that surgeon is not the best *for you*, which is what matters.

Answer: What kind of facelift? There are many techniques of facelifting, and there are many types of facial anatomy. Depending on your particular anatomy, you may be best treated with an aggressive, sophisticated lift like a deep plane lift with subplatysmal contouring, or you may be a candidate for a simple, in the office minilift. The far majority of my patients can have a lift in the office and get great improvements in the jowls and the marionette lines. It solely depends on your facial anatomy. A facial surgeon with extensive experience with facelifts would be able to tell you the best technique for your particular anatomy.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa Aesthetic Centers
