A scarring result from surgery is common for face lifts. These scars won't be obvious and will look great on the face. There are several treatments available for them. Fillers, Botox and other treatments are some of the options. Getting a face lift is a great way to improve the appearance of your face and improve your confidence.
Incisions behind the ears
Face and neck lifts require incisions that extend posteriorly beyond the ear along the occipital hairline. These scars are not visible unless you're looking directly at them. Additionally, these scars aren't visible in routine close up photographs of the ear.
It is critical to correctly place the incisions during a facelift. This will ensure that the final results are achieved and hide scarring. Incisions for facelifts are traditionally placed behind the ear. This location is often the most visible, although less noticeable. Dr. Jacono uses a new technique where the incision is concealed behind the cartilage and tragus inside the ear canal. This technique allows Dr. Jacono to conceal his incision and reduce the signs of ageing.
Placement of stitches
The order of the stitches used to repair scars from facelifts can vary depending on how large the scar is, the shape of the scar, and the length of the wound. The center of the wound is where the first stitch should go. Next, add a second stitch to each side. To close the wound, bisecting stitches can be used. However, the first two must not overlap.
Face lift sutures are typically ultra-fine. This helps to minimize scarring. The sutures are pulled tight to the fat and underlying muscles. This pull on the skin can pull the stitches. But, the body can repair and regenerate skin cells, so it's unlikely that a suture will cause permanent damage.
Scarring is not noticeable
Many patients have questions about the inconspicuousness and appearance of scars from facelifts after they have had it done. Patients want a natural looking neckline and jawline. However, they don't want visible scarring. Though all incisions may leave scarring, properly executed and planned surgeries will make them as discreet as possible. A face lift often involves long incisions around the hairline and ears. Patients who have undergone a facelift want to look natural.
Scars can appear bright and raised when they are new, which can make it difficult to see for a few weeks. Fortunately, most scars will fade over time, and in some cases may even disappear entirely. Everyone heals at a different pace and there is no time limit for scarring.
Treatments available
A face lift procedure can have a wide range of outcomes. Face lifts can improve the appearance and texture of deep wrinkles, jowls, skin laxity, and facial muscle tightening. For patients who are concerned about the appearance of aging around their eyes and eyebrows, a forehead lift can be performed.
You can reduce the visibility of your scars after a facelift by using silicone sheeting. Silicone sheets can be bought over-the-counter and at your local store. This sheeting is great for increasing circulation and breaking up skin adhesions. It stimulates collagen production, which promotes healthy healing of incisions. It is recommended that silicone sheeting be worn for at most three months.
