THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF FACELIFTS

  • Liquid facelifts. Otherwise known as dermal fillers (the most famous dermal filler being Botox), these are non-surgical, temporary injections made from a variety of substances, such as hydroxyapatite, hyaluronic acid, or lactic acid calcium. These liquid facelifts are used to smooth out creases and folds in your face that create wrinkles, plump up the lips and fill shallow areas such as around the eyes. Injectable, such as Botox, block the nerve impulses that cause muscle contractions, which in essence relaxes your muscles so you make less facial expressions, which contribute to the breakdown of collagen that is partly responsible for the formation of wrinkles. Many use liquid fillers repeatedly in lieu of a full, surgical facelift.
  • Jawline rejuvenation. This facelift caters to those who feel they have excess fat around their neck and jawline. A mini-liposuction procedure is performed, whereby excess fat is removed from the targeted area in the neck to tighten and define the jawline. Skin is not removed in this procedure, and the removed fat can be reused as a dermal filler in other areas, most commonly reinjected into other areas of the face.
  • Mini facelift. This is a compromise between the results of dermal fillers and a full surgical facelift. A mini facelift mimics a full facelift in the fact that the incisions are smaller and made in the hair line. Skin is removed and tightened. This primarily yields similar results to the jawline rejuvenation and is common among women who are younger and just showing the signs of aging and thus don’t necessarily need a full facelift. The mini facelift is also known as the weekend facelift since it can be performed on a Friday with the patient able to go to work on Monday and resume normal activities by then.
  • S-lift. Make three tally marks in the column under “improve neck, jowls, and jaw line” as this facelift procedure targets these areas just like the jawline rejuvenation and mini facelift. Popular due to minimal recovery time, the S-lift makes an s-shaped incision (hence its name derivative) and separates the skin from the underlying tissue. This allows the skin to be lifted. The plastic surgeon then tightens the muscles and tissue before closing the incision.
  • Mid-facelift. As the name suggests, the mid-facelift targets the middle of the face, namely the cheek areas. Similar to the S-lift, small incisions are made in the hairline above the ears and in the mouth. Next, the cheek’s skin is tightening and the fat is also reconfigured to plump out the cheeks. Fat may be added here as well if a concurrent surgery is performed.

  • Cutaneous lift. Taking its name from the Latin root word for skin, this procedure is almost identical to the S-lift in nature. The skin is still trimmed and stretched; however, the main difference is the cutaneous lift does not involve any tightening of muscles. This yields a less durable facelift procedure in the long run as your skin stretches over time.
  • Browlift. Also called a temporal facelift, a browlift targets your brows that are slightly drooping or lowered. This procedure is a great alternative to a full browlift, which is much more invasive and requires a longer recovery time. Again, small incisions are employed along the hairline with the goal of lifting the skin on the side of the eyebrows.
  • Quicklift. The quicklift is a slightly more involved and invasive procedure over the S-lift, but a middle ground before the jump to a full facelift, which tightens the mid-to-lower portion of face and tightens the neck and jawline. The results are more dramatic and thus the quicklift is more popular with a slightly older women battling increased signs of aging.
  • Traditional facelift. The mother of all facelifts, the traditional or full facelift will yield the best results for reducing the signs of aging. This of all the procedures above is the most invasive and in essence yields the results of all the previously mentioned facelift procedures combined. Incisions will be all throughout the hairline as well as below the chin. The muscles are tightened; skin is trimmed; muscle is sutured together to smooth and contour the face. Excess fat and skin are removed as needed. Two weeks is required before you are cleared by your surgeon to resume all everyday activities.
