The Surgery
FACE LIFT
While there is more than 1 technique available to carry out the face lift surgery in Ludhiana, there is no evidence proving that any one technique is better than the other. It all depends on individual’s requirement and the techniques that work best in the hands of a surgeon. Having said that it is important for the aesthetic surgeon to be trained and qualified for performing a variety of surgical and non-surgical procedures so as to be able to give the best results possible.
Different techniques and types of face lift procedures available are as follows:
Traditional Face Lift
A common pattern for incision starts in the temple region within the hair or just under the sideburn, follows natural creases in front of the ear or just inside the ear, and continues behind the ear to end in the hair. If required, a small incision underneath the chin is made to gain further access to the neck.
Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System (SMAS)
The SMAS face lift doesn't only address the superficial top layer of skin but also helps in repositioning and tightening of the underlying tissues layers, which tend to sag with aging. The result is a natural-looking result which is long-lasting as well.
Subperiosteal Face Lift
This technique is performed using an endoscope and is a short scar as well as less expensive technique. Endoscopic surgery minimizes the invasiveness of the procedure and is considered to be a good option for patients with a less amount of excess skin. The approach works well for patients in whom the signs of aging appear pre-dominantly in the upper and the middle facial areas.
Midface/ Cheek Lift
The incisions could be in the temple and inside the mouth, or inside the lower eyelid. The procedure allows the midface soft tissues to be elevated and secured in position that can result in a more youthful appearance.
Suture Suspension Techniques
The non-absorbable sutures designed with barbs, cones, knots are used for the elevation and suspension of soft tissues of the midface. Other devices may also be used for tissue fixation.
