Facelift Techniques in Sydney

Deep Plane Facelift, short scar facelift, necklift, cheeklift, MACS face-lift, threads, smas lift, composite lift etc – what confusing terminology to essentially describe similar operations.

Its no wonder that patients get very confused when trying to work out what they want for facial rejuvenation. First of all what works for one patient will not necessarily work for another. A short scar face lift or a MACS lift may work perfectly well for a 45 year old female with some early jowling but will not produce a great result in a 65 year old patient with a heavy neck and jowls.

To make things easier a Deep Plane facelift is a more extensive facelift that includes a necklift which is a great procedure for patients with a heavy neck and jowls. All the other techniques are more MINIMAL procedures that are for patients that do not have the same rejuvenation requirements.

Threadlifts were all the rage a few years ago because they promised equal results with minimal downtime – problem is they DO NOT give you long term results.

Each patient is differnt and the approach needs to be tailored specifically to that patients requirements and goals, the best way is to visit your Facial Plastic Surgeon or Plastic Surgeon with an interest in facial procedures to discuss the possibilities and possible outcomes.
