Face Lift / Brow Lift

Face-lift is done to remove the excess of loose, sagging skin from the cheeks and the neck. The incisions are made around, above and behind the ears. Skin is lifted from the cheeks and neck. The fascia over the muscle is tightened. Excess of the skin is removed and sutured.

This surgery is done under local anaesthesia with some sedation to relax the patient and requires one day stay in the hospital.

With the aging process, the skin becomes less elastic enabling the gravity to imprint changes on the face and the neck. A facelift reverses the effects of gravity on the lower face, whereas a forehead lift rejuvenates the upper one third of the face.

Incisions are made in the hairline of the temple, around the ear, and into the hair behind the ear. The skin and underlying tissues of the neck and cheek are then lifted and tightened, and excess skin is removed. The platysmal muscle bands are also resutured thus re-establishing a more youthful appearance. Dr. K. Ramachandran often performs facelifts under local anesthesia with conscious sedation with the patient having no recollection of the procedure. Most healing following a facelift occurs during the first two weeks, although some swelling and discoloration and tightness may last a few more weeks. Cover-up make-up can be applied in one week to camouflage residual bruising and discoloration. Most patients take at least ten days from work.

BROW LIFT:

Sagging eyebrows can be lifted higher to their proper location either by removing skin from just above the eyebrows or at the hair line, or by a cut extending form one ear to the other ear, right across the scalp.  Eyebrow lift is done as an out patient procedure under local anaesthesia.  It can also be done along with the face lift.
