Much depends on the qualifications that surgeons should receive before they acquire the right to call themselves "plastic surgeons" and perform operations defined as "plastic surgery".
On the contrary, surgery of the aging face - and rhytidectomy, in particular - originate from operations aimed at improving patients' self-image.
To determine the expected speed with which loss of elasticity tissue and the overall aging process will occur, it is important to assess the family history.
The basic decision on the type of surgical face-lift that will be applied to a particular patient is based, first of all, on the patient's condition, fixed at the time of physical examination during the consultation.
Changes in the line of hair growth or the appearance of scars in visible places can cause complete dissatisfaction of the patient, despite the good result of the suspender itself.
Initial neck treatment includes correction of submandibular and sub-chiropractic lipoptosis. Facelift type I almost does not require any interference on the neck.
The length of the cut depends on the amount of excess skin on the neck and, to some extent, the tissues on the face. When using the SMAS braces, the degree of the cut is much less than with the old, classical methods of rhytidectomy.
After the completion of adequate tightening of the deep fascia, which will provide a long-term foundation for the changes made, you can perform the necessary movement and modification of the skin flap.
As the observations of patients for 6 months to 1 year after the operation showed, they will inevitably have some relaxation of the facial and neck surface tissues.
The most common complication of rhytidectomy is the formation of a hematoma, which occurs in 2-15% of patients.
