Facelift surgery is a cosmetic procedure done to achieve a younger look. It is also known as rhytidectomy and is mainly performed to get rid of saggy skin and fix changes brought about due to ageing.

The surgery is performed by taking a flap on each side of the skin. It is pulled up, and the muscles below the layer are treated in a way that gives a younger-looking appearance. Before stitching back the flaps, extra skin is removed from the region.

A neck lift is done along with a facelift to reduce fat deposits and loose skin of the neck. However, a facelift is not an ideal procedure to get rid of fine lines and wrinkles caused due to sun damage.

Each surgery is associated with some extent of risks and complications. Here are some of the common complication, which is usually short-term:

• Hematoma: It is the accumulation of blood under the skin surface, which causes swelling and inflammation. It is a common compilation and is given immediate medical attention to avoid severe damage and scarring.
• Scarring: The incisions done for the surgery are usually hidden by the hairline and other contours of the face. In some cases, they can appear as raised red scars. To reduce the redness, corticosteroid injections are given along with other treatments.
• Nerve injury: An injury to the nerves of the face can result in a temporary or permanent lack of sensation in the face muscles. Temporary paralysis of a particular muscle can give an uneven appearance or sensation, lasting up to a year.
• Hair loss: Some hair loss can be experienced after the surgery in the incision region. The hair loss can either be temporary or permanent. If it is permanent, it can be treated by a hair transplant surgery.
• Skin loss: One of the rare complications is skin loss. In such cases, the surgery can interfere with the blood supply to the facial muscles. Sloughing can be controlled and treated with medications; care and surgery can also be used.

These are a few of the most common risks associated with facelift surgery. Other than these, there may be a reaction to anaesthesia. The risk of complications further increases if the patient suffers from certain chronic conditions and lifestyle diseases. These conditions may lead to undesired results. That's why, in such cases, the doctor would not advise a facelift surgery.

Here are a few cases in which the doctor may not advise rhytidectomy:

• Medications and supplements: The consumption of certain medications and herbal supplements can also increase the chances of risks. Blood-thinning medications like aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, ginseng, fish oil, Ginkgo, Biloba, etc., can affect the blood clotting resulting in a severe hematoma.
• Medical conditions: Patients suffering from conditions that interfere with blood clotting cannot undergo facelift surgery. Other lifestyle diseases such as uncontrolled diabetes and high blood pressure can slow down the rate of recovery and cause hematoma and heart problems.
• Smoking: The patients with a smoking habit would have to refrain from it for the time being as instructed by the doctor. Smoking inhibits the rate of the natural wound healing rate, hematoma and sloughing of the skin.
• Unstable body weight: If the patient does not maintain a stable body weight, the surgery results can not be maintained in the long term.
