Face Lift
A face lift (technically termed a rhytidectomy), is a surgical procedure designed to slow or reverse the affects of old aging. Specifically, a face lift is designed to improve the overall look of the face, by removing excess fat, reducing sagging skin, and tightening the muscles that underlie the face. A face lift is a common cosmetic surgery procedure, and is generally considered to be safe. Of course, like any surgery, a face lift does carry some risk.
The most common side effect is a possible infection from the face lift procedure. Additionally, it should be noted that smokers have shown to generally have less natural capability for skin to heal quickly after a face lift. As always, it will be important to discuss with your surgeon both the effects of your face lift, as well as the possible risks. Thankfully, a large number of qualified surgeons are easily locatable online - as well as a wide variety of other resources to help you in your decision to undergo a face lift.
