Risks of facelift surgery

Facelift surgery, also known as face lift, is to peel off the loose facial skin and deep fascia and then pull the sagging tissues backward and upward to fix them, the facial skin is fixed in the backward and upward direction to remove the excess skin, so that the deep facial skin tissues are in a taut state. This procedure is suitable for those who are older or have more pronounced facial lines such as head-lines, decreases and crow’s feet, and have very loose skin on the cheeks. Since there are certain risks associated with any surgery, facelift surgery is no exception. Patients can weigh the pros and cons of the surgery and decide whether to undergo the surgery based on their individual situation. The risks of a routine facelift are relatively low, and some patients may experience facial swelling, bruising and other uncomfortable symptoms in the early post-operative period, which can usually subside on their own. Secondly, the biggest sequelae of facelift surgery are skin scars. A facelift of the top of the head can lead to hair loss and a tendency to have numbness and insensitivity of the scalp after surgery. And facial facelift surgery may show poor wound healing, scarring or small hard lumps. In addition, due to the operator’s inexperience, hematoma, flap necrosis, facial nerve damage, eye, nose and earlobe deformation, bilateral asymmetry, etc. may also occur. Therefore, it is recommended that candidates must go to a regular medical beauty institution and have a professional doctor choose the appropriate treatment according to the candidate’s own conditions.
