FACELIFT IN MONTREAL

The concept of facial rejuvenation has changed over the last two decades. Using advanced techniques, Dr. Arash Izadpanah is able to contour the face and neck and create a more youthful appearance by tightening, lifting and restoring volume to the face during facelift surgery.

What is facelift surgery?

Facelift surgery is a procedure to improve visible signs of aging on the face and neck. The surgery involves removing excess loose skin and tissue, smoothing out wrinkles and deep folds, and tightening facial tissue. A facelift may be combined with facial fat transfer to maximize the refreshed, rejuvenating results of the surgery .

 

What does a facelift do?

 

Everyone will experience signs of aging over time, such as sagging, fine lines, wrinkles and loose skin. Many patients will choose some non-surgical options to slow the process or help temporarily, but a facelift is a long-lasting option with beautiful results. A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that will lift the sagging skin on the face and neck, and tighten the muscles underneath to restore a youthful appearance. Scars will be hidden around the ears and hairline, with natural looking results usually resulting in an appearance of 10 or more years younger.

 

Are you a candidate for a facelift?

Who is a good candidate for facelift surgery?

 

A facelift can help reverse a multitude of the visible signs of aging in the face and neck. If you have some of the concerns below, you may be a candidate for a facelift surgery. 

  • Sagging skin, muscles and fat
  • Vertical neck bands
  • Jowls
  • Deep wrinkles on the face
  • Marionette lines (vertical lines running from the mouth to the chin)
  • Appearance of double chin from sagging skin
  • Nasolabial folds (laugh lines-  running from the nose to the mouth)

Dr. Arash Izadpanah will give you an honest assessment and let you know if you are a good candidate for a facelift, but in general you should be in good overall health with no medical conditions that can impair healing, must be a nonsmoker or willing to quit smoking, and have realistic expectations.

 

Other facelift considerations

How to maximize your facelift results

A facelift is the basis for revitalization of youthfulness to the face, but there are numerous procedures that can be combined with a facelift to enhance your results. 

Some procedures that are commonly performed with a facelift: 

  1. Brow lift
  2. Fat transfer (fat grafting) 
  3. Neck lift
  4. Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) 
  5. Liposuction

Dr. Arash will provide tailor-made recommendations to you depending on the extent of the signs of aging, age, lifestyle and desired results.  

Depending on your age, lifestyle and aesthetic goals, you may benefit from non-surgical options as a less permanent option. Facelift results are best when patients are over 40.

 

Possible risks

Know the risks of facelift surgery

Like any other surgery, there are of course risks associated with choosing to have a facelift, such as (but not limited to) risks associated with anesthesia, bleeding, infection, poor wound healing, fluid accumulation (hematoma), changes in skin sensation and pain. Being aware of the possible risks will help you to make an informed decision to have your surgery. Dr. Arash Izadpanah will discuss all risks in detail with you during your consultation and before surgery.  

Additional facelift risks can include: 

  1. Facial asymmetry 
  2. Nerve injury 
  3. Sutures becoming visible through the skin, requiring removal
