Face Lift Options From an Oral Surgeon

A facelift’s aim is to provide a younger appearance. It tightens the facial tissue, smoothens out facial folds, and removes excess skin. You can get this procedure from your oral surgeon. Here are the different facelift options that your surgeon can offer.

Non-surgical facelift

This type of procedure does not need incisions. It does not even need a night’s stay at the hospital or general anesthesia. The surgeon will use a combination of non-surgical and less invasive techniques. This treatment will yield short-term results. Below are the conditions that a non-surgical facelift can treat:

  • Crow’s feet
  • Marionette lines
  • Loose jowls
  • Shadows around the eyes
  • Wrinkles
  • Sagging skin
  • Thin lips
  • Sunken cheeks

Thread lift

This cosmetic procedure is not as intrusive as a traditional facelift. The oral surgeon will use thread to change the structure of the face in this type of facial surgery. This is possible by inserting a medical-grade type of thread into the face first. Tightening the thread will then pull the skin and make it taut.

Another term for this facelift is the barbed suture lift. Research shows that a thread lift has been available since the 1990s. Its recent innovations are making it even more popular. Common patients for a thread lift are individuals in their late 30s to those in their early 50s. Healthy patients who have signs of aging can get the most out of this procedure. People who cannot have general anesthesia for cosmetic procedures can have this treatment, too.

Lower facelift

A lower facelift is a semi-intrusive procedure that reduces scarring, pain, and side effects. Studies show that the bottom part of the face is the first to show signs of aging. Many patients say that they look much younger because of this treatment. This facelift targets lax skin, deep wrinkles, and facial creases. The treatment results in firmer cheeks and a slimmer neck.

The surgeon will remove extra skin and then tighten the muscles underneath. Raising the corners of the mouth will come next. This provides a happier, more rested look. The procedure takes one to two hours.

Mini facelift

This is a type of procedure that uses small cuts around the hairline. These incisions help the surgeon lift the lower part of the face. The treatment removes the sagging skin around the jawline and neck. Taking some time off work is necessary for this procedure. The patient will recover after many weeks. Having a brow lift or an eye lift with this surgery is also possible.

Mid-facelift

Another name for this procedure is the cheek lift. It tightens the upper mouth skin to the eye area. This makes the under-eye region less sunken-looking. It is important to note that a mid-facelift does not treat the brow area. The results of a mid-facelift last for about a decade.

Full facelift

The oral surgeon can also offer a traditional full facelift. This procedure will cut above the hairline at a person’s temples. The surgeon separates the muscles and fats. Tightening the muscles under the skin will follow. Removing excess skin will come next. It will take about two to three hours to complete the procedure.

The right type of facelift can be life-changing

Aging is an unstoppable process. All that you can do is delay it. This is possible with the common types of facelift procedures. Working with your oral surgeon can give you the results that you want.
