Facelift, which is medically known as Rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that helps to eliminate the signs of aging from the face and neck. It is an anti-aging surgical correction that addresses the problem of loose or sagged skin, wrinkles, and folds that appear on the lower face when the person turns older. Besides aging, there are factors like smoking, long-term exposure to the sun, weight loss, lifestyle habits that might warrant a facelift procedure.
According to Dr. Mansher Singh, the specialist of facelift procedure in Manhattan and Beverly Hills, there are multiple different ways to do a facelift, especially with regards to the layer beneath the skin, a.k.a. SMAS. Some of these techniques include SMAS plication, lateral smasectomy, High-SMAS technique and deep-plane Facelift. Dr. Singh maintains that the best technique is the one that the patient needs. To just offer just one specific technique to all patients would be inconsistent with his philosophy of ‘customized patient care’ . He further adds that the Facelift can be combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures like, upper and lower Blepharoplasty, facial fat grafting, browlift, cheek implants.
