Customary, Standard, or Traditional Facelift: A Timeless Approach to Rejuvenation

Because every surgeon has a preference for a particular procedure, every surgeon will have a different idea as to what constitutes the traditional face lift. The earliest procedures involved undermining the skin only. Incisions were placed behind the ear, and around to the front of the ear, continuing up, either behind the hairline, or in the hairline. This last determination depended on the patient’s anatomy, and the surgeon’s preference. A brow lift and forehead smoothing would commonly be included with the face lift. Excess skin was trimmed along the incision, the face skin thus tightened, and the edges sutured together. The technique addressed sagging skin well, but not the underlying soft tissues. In addition, because tension was placed on the skin, scars would at times be very wide and conspicuous. Finally, many believed that the results were not as long-lived as techniques that used deeper structures to tighten the face.

Introduction to Customary Facelifts

A customary, standard, or traditional facelift is a proven and time-tested approach to facial rejuvenation. This procedure aims to address sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and other signs of aging, helping individuals achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

How Does a Customary Facelift Work?

During a customary facelift, incisions are strategically made to access the underlying facial tissues. The surgeon then lifts and repositions these tissues, removing excess skin and tightening the underlying muscles. This comprehensive approach results in a smoother, more rejuvenated facial contour.

The Benefits of a Customary, Standard, or Traditional Facelift

A customary facelift offers several benefits for individuals seeking facial rejuvenation. It effectively reduces sagging skin, eliminates deep wrinkles, and restores a more youthful facial appearance. This procedure can help boost confidence and enhance self-image.

The Customary, Standard, or Traditional Facelift Procedure

The customary facelift procedure typically begins with a comprehensive consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon. During the surgery, the surgeon carefully makes incisions, lifts and repositions the facial tissues, and removes any excess skin. The incisions are then closed, and recovery begins.

Recovery and Results

After a customary facelift, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and temporary discomfort. These effects gradually subside, revealing the full results of the procedure. The face appears more youthful, with smoother skin, reduced wrinkles, and improved facial contours.

Consultation and Considerations

If you are considering a customary facelift, it is crucial to consult with a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon. They will evaluate your specific concerns, discuss your expectations, and determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. They will provide detailed information about the surgery, including potential risks and benefits.

Conclusion

In conclusion, a customary, standard, or traditional facelift offers a timeless approach to facial rejuvenation. By addressing sagging skin and deep wrinkles, this procedure can help individuals achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Consult with a qualified surgeon to explore the benefits of a customary facelift and take the first step towards a revitalized look.
