Evolution of the Facelift
For most people, a facelift is a facelift. In a general sense, can be used to describe the cosmetic improvement given anything from a public building with a person in a political platform. However, cosmetic surgery, facelifts can mean any of a number of things that are constantly evolving. If you are considering a facelift, it is important for understanding the development of the lifting and the current situation as a medical treatment to make sure you get the best possible results.
Early Facelift
A facelift is a relatively recent innovation in surgery. Nose and ear reconstruction took place in ancient India. Blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) was reported in the late sixteenth century. Repositioning cosmetic rhinoplasty and abdominoplasty (navel) was invented in the late nineteenth century. Lifts and breast reductions were also a pioneer in this time. However, lifting were only in use since the early 20. The first lifting involved repositioning the skin of the face and nothing more. The process (and many others) was described in his book La chirurgie esthétique? Son social role, published by Dr A Noel 1926.
More Than Skin Deep
The skin-lifting technique is only continued until the mid-1970s, when doctors began removing the underlying muscle tissue, known as the top Muscloaponeurotic System (SMAS), and to provide the best results. The medical results achieved by the repositioning of the SMAS was not only fun, allowed doctors to recontour the face and tighten the skin, and longer, because the SMAS has more structural integrity of the skin.
Short Scar
Then, in 1990, doctors developed what is known as short-scar face lift. Short-scar facelift for less than a cosmetic improvement with less invasive surgery. This option has been known by various names – S-Lift, Quicklift, Lifestyle Lift, and so on, as a brand-conscious physicians tried to package and market their unique process. Although the results of short-scar facelift is neither dramatic nor as long as a full facelift, they have become very popular among men and women who can not afford the downtime of surgery more dramatic.
A Stitch in Time;
In the first part of the 21st century, one of the most important innovation was the introduction thread lift, in which the removal of skin and muscle is a wire fence. The benefits promised by this process is that it provides the same effect of a short-scar face lift or even a complete, without any significant disruption to all. However, the reality seems to be that the thread lift is a historical anomaly, and the results are not uniform and sometimes as bad as the thread can demonstrate to the surface of the face. The thread can also often be felt by the patient, often painfully. It seems unlikely that the thread lift will continue to be used in the future.
Further developments
Today, doctors are still working on the technique of short-scar facelift to find a better compromise between the results and surgery. The goal is to provide a face-lift that has the same duration as the facelift complete, but requires only the signs of short-scar face lift and has very little downtime. There is some progress in this area, creating new variants of the short scar facelift in areas where there is strong demand for cosmetic surgery, such as San Diego. To be sure you get the best possible procedure, be sure to ask your plastic surgeon for the technique that uses the type of results and level of trade-offs are made between the invasion and surgical outcome.
