Facelift Singapore

As you age, the muscles and skin of your face become laxer, making wrinkles and loose skin more visible. Loose skin is most often seen under the chin, up the jawline and above and below the eyes. Wrinkles often become most visible around the mouth, eyes and nasal furrows, and the mouth becomes more pronounced. A facelift Singapore https://www.cambridgetherapeutics.com.sg/hifu-sygmalift/ generally tightens the skin and smoothes out the furrows around the nose and mouth, the cheeks and reduces the loose skin under the chin and jaws. This makes the transition between chin and neck more pronounced and jaws more prominent.

Before the facelift Singapore

In good time before the operation, the specialist will examine you and give you detailed information about the operation and the expected result.Particularly in the case of cosmetic surgery, it is recommended that you bring someone with you to the preliminary examination. The earliest you can have surgery is one week after the first consultation, as you need time to think things through before deciding on surgery. Once you have decided, the next steps will be planned individually.

Anaesthetic

The operation is performed under local anaesthetic. First you will be given a sedative and some strong painkillers directly into a vein. This helps you to relax better during the operation. Then the local anaesthetic is applied in the form of a liquid injected into the area of the operation with a thin needle. We have very good experience with this method. You must not wear contact lenses during the facelift Singapore.

Before the facelift Singapore

You must NOT take Kodimagnyl, Magnyl, Treo or any other blood-thinning medicine 7 days before the operation. Arthritis medication must not be taken 5 days before surgery, but may be used as a painkiller after surgery. If you are taking blood-thinning medication, tapering should be done in consultation with your doctor.
It is advisable to refrain from smoking 4 weeks before the operation and 4 weeks after. This is to ensure the best possible blood supply to the undermined area and the nicest result after surgery. If you are ill, and this includes flu, colds, and various inflammatory conditions, it is very important that you call the clinic to inquire about how to proceed. The reason is that the immune system is not in order after infectious conditions, and as this is planned surgery, it is important to minimise factors that may affect the final outcome and not put your health at risk.

Surgical method

As mentioned above, the operation is performed under local anaesthetic. The surgeon will make an incision in front of, around and behind the ear. In some patients, only the scar in front of the ear/hairline at the temple can be treated. The skin is loosened on the cheeks, up towards the corner of the eye and down on the neck. Excess skin/ subcutaneous tissue is then removed. Any loose muscles are tightened. The skin is then sewn back together with a thin thread to make the scars as inconspicuous as possible. After the operation, you will be required to wear a compression bandage, which you must keep on for the first few days, and a head bandage.
