When it comes to anti-aging surgery, beauty seekers are probably most familiar with facelift surgery, many of them look at the post-operative effects of facelift surgery, but are hesitant to act because of its trauma. Today we will talk about the “pits” of facelift surgery and hope that it will be helpful to you. When it comes to facelift, everyone will think of the horrible image of almost the whole face being peeled off. Does it have to be so traumatic? It starts with the cause of facial collapse. Facial skin aging is mainly caused by the sagging of the fibers and ligaments that support the soft tissues of the skin, and the inability to pull tight the tissues due to the effects of gravity. The smaller the area peeled, the more limited its effect will be, and it may also be pulled back by the area you did not peel. For example: the area of the marionette line. If you do not peel this puppet line during the peeling process, it will not solve the puppet line problem. There will be some tissue adhesions in the area that was not peeled off. This tissue must be loosened, so that you can pull it up, it will be good. Of course, the larger the peeled area, the better the result and the less chance of rebound, but the risk will be correspondingly higher. This is the reason why only those who are over 50 years old and have severe laxity will choose the “big facelift surgery”. Second, the facial nerve is “at risk” The most fearful thing about having a facelift is that it will injure the facial nerve. The reason is: 1, not in the endoscopic assistance of safe operation. 2, under the magnifying glass, the neuron is like a thin white cotton, easy to confuse the fascia. However, the distribution of the former is regular and the latter is randomly distributed. An experienced surgeon will be very careful to avoid these small cotton threads during the surgery, and if in case they are accidentally touched short, they will not affect the function of the nerve if they are connected in time. If the damage is more than 3 to 6 months later, the chance of revival may be lost forever, and sequelae such as crooked mouth and eyes that cannot be closed may occur. Some candidates may worry: My face feels paralyzed or stiff, did I damage the nerve, is my mouth going to be crooked and eyes slanted later? In fact, usually, when you feel numbness or stiffness in your face, it is only the nerves that are damaged, not completely damaged. After a few weeks or months, you will be able to regain the feeling and move again. III. Limited improvement of areas Limited improvement of wrinkles in the nasolabial folds, around the eyelids, etc. Vertical wrinkles around the mouth cannot be completely eliminated. IV. Possible loss of part of the expression When doing full face wrinkle removal surgery if the surgery is not done properly, part of the expression of the whole face may be lost. During a major facelift, as long as one or several of the muscles are tightened with slightly different intensity in each direction, it will lead to changes in expression. If more force is used in all directions, the expression will become very rigid.
