Face Lift--Creating a Younger You
When you look in the mirror what do you see? Do you see the young face that you used to enjoy seeing or do you see your grandmother. Okay, maybe it’s not that bad but as you age you will inevitably wrinkle. It’s a part of life. Those that have jobs working in harsh conditions or direct sunlight all day may wrinkle faster than those who don’t. Looking older than your peers is never a fun thought but there is something you can do about it. While creams might work like they say they do, face lifts are almost a sure bet.
Why go to the extremes of having a face lift just to shave a few years off your life? Well,
it is all a matter of perspective. Some women do it because they don’t like the idea of growing old. Others do it to feel better about themselves. No matter what you’re reason stop for a moment and think, is this really something that you want to do. If the answer is yes, then it’s time to do the research. It’s the only way that you can be sure you’re making the right choice when it comes time to do the surgery.
A face lift will do just what it says by removing the excess skin and fat from your face. The skin will then be pulled tight and the wrinkles will be removed. If it’s done appropriately then you will look years younger, if it’s not well then you’ll look like you’ve had some work done. The idea behind this type of procedure is to look great, years younger in fact without letting anyone know that you’ve been under the knife. For some women that does mean that not every wrinkle will be removed from your forehead and eyes, but it might mean that they look less severe.
The basics of the face lift procedure has already been explained. A little more detail is necessary so that you are sure you are getting what you want. First your physician will put you under general anesthesia. He will then make an incision along the hair line and around the ears. This way your scar will be hidden out of site. He will then peel the skin loose from your face. He’ll remove any excess fat and will reposition the remaining fat as necessary. Then he’ll pull the skin tight, not too tight, back into place. He’ll remove any excess skin and will close the incision.
It sounds a little gruesome, yes, but it’s an important step in knowing if this is right for you. Once the swelling goes down you’ll look years younger. By allowing your physician to help you assess how tight the face lift needs to be you can be sure that you’ll get a look that looks great without looking like you paid a lot of money to have it done. You’ll look years younger and everyone will notice. How you got that way can be your little secret.
