Description
The mini facelift targets specific areas, like the drooping, sagging skin around the cheeks, jowls and the neck. The technique smoothes away wrinkles across the cheeks and around the mouth and also tightens up the jaw-line and neck area leaving you looking years younger, boosting your confidence and making you feel more self-confident.
What is the length of the surgery?
The mini facelift in Thailand can take anywhere from 3 – 7 hours.
Who is a candidate for a mini facelift?
People who opt for this surgical procedure usually have sagging skin around the face and neck, particularly deep creases that run from the base of the nose to the corners of the mouth, creating a tired, aged appearance.
How is the surgery performed?
The surgeon will make small incisions in the hairline and follow down to the front of the earlobe and leading to behind the ear. The skin and tissue is separated from the bone. Excess fat and muscle tissue are removed, the face is reshaped and then any excess skin is removed before the cuts are sutured.
What can a patient expect from a mini facelift in Thailand?
The patient can expect to come away with a fi rmer, younger appearance, with no wrinkles and a less tired appearance.
What are the risks and side effects involved in a mini facelift?
There is a risk of bleeding, infection, facial asymmetry, damage to the facial nerves and scarring. Sometimes patients can experience delayed healing, particularly if they are smokers.
How long does the patient need to stay in hospital?
The patient can expect to remain in hospital for two nights after the mini facelift surgery.
Are there any noticeable scars?
The scars are made in the hairline and so are hidden in the hair, while those made on the face are artfully placed in the natural creases, making them hardly visible. The scars will fade over time.
What type of Anaesthesia is used during the mini facelift surgery in Thailand?
Local anaesthesia is used as well as general anaesthesia for those patients who insist upon it.
Frequently asked questions:
Are the results of the surgery permanent?
The surgery’s effects are long lasting but not permanent, as the visible signs of ageing cannot be stopped.
How to prepare for the mini facelift?
You are advised to stop drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes two weeks before you are due to undergo the procedure. You should also stop taking all medications and vitamins at the same time.
How long will it take to heal?
You can expect to experience bruising and swelling for 1 – 2 weeks after the mini facelift surgery in Thailand. You may return to work after 2 weeks if you work in an indoor environment, otherwise 4 weeks is recommended for those that work outdoors in the sunshine or in dusty environments.
