Calgary Face Lifts

The cosmetic industry has become a multi-billion dollar industry because millions of adults are continuously searching for that elusive product which can act as a 'fountain of youth'. If you are part of this population but you are tired of trying out new products to erase the fine lines on your face and neck, you may want to try out undergoing a face lift. There is a misconception that face lift is the 'old school' way of getting rid of fine lines on the face and neck – but the procedure is being performed until now. In fact, the technology has evolved to fit the needs of each individual patient.

Traditionally, face lift helps eliminate the skin on the face and neck which has become loose as a result of ageing. The procedure works by literally lifting the skin since an incision is made over the cheeks and neck, the skin is redraped, the excess skin is removed and the incisions are closed with staples and sutures. During the procedure, the patient is sedated and given local anesthesia. Face lifts work best for those who have a good bone structure. Naturally, the dermatologist will determine how to proceed with the face lift, depending on where the fine lines and wrinkles exist.

If you live in the Calgary area, there are a lot of skin clinics and spas where you can get a face lift. Aside from the traditional procedure, there is also a non-surgical face lift which has the same goal of slowing down the ageing process. For the surgical procedure, you will immediately see results after the operation. On the other hand, it may take a few visits to the dermatologist before you can see results for the non-surgical face lift procedure. It is better to do your research first before undergoing a face lift procedure so that you would know what to expect before, during and after the treatment.
