The dangers of face lift

Time will take away people's youth and make women's beauty disappear. The most unbearable thing for women who love beauty is the gradual appearance of wrinkles on their faces. Therefore, many women who want to keep their facial skin youthful forever choose to undergo face lift surgery. However, most women only see the benefits of face lift surgery and ignore the harm of face lift surgery. So, what are the dangers of face lifting?

Dangers of face lift surgery: baldness

The incision for face lift surgery is usually made within the hair area, which makes the incision more concealed. However, during the operation, the skin will be tightened and a certain width of scalp will be removed. After suturing, incision tension will be generated, and after healing, incision scars will be formed, resulting in a bald area. This means that within the hairline, no hair grows at the site of the incision. Furthermore, excessive suture tension can cause local blood circulation disorders and easily lead to local infection, which will aggravate scars and widen the bald area. Medically, the harm of this face-lift surgery is called "scarring alopecia."

Dangers of face lift surgery: Facial asymmetry

Facelift may cause bilateral facial asymmetry in the patient. This is related to the different degrees of bilateral lifting during the operation, and is mostly caused by the doctor's lack of experience and lack of professional training in cosmetic surgery. Facelift surgery requires the same degree of facial suspension on both sides and the removal of equal amounts of skin and fascia tissue. If the doctor does not accurately locate the point, the height of tissue suspension and the amount of skin cut during the operation will be different, which will cause the position of surface organs to be different and the tightness of the skin to be different, for example: one eyebrow is higher than the other, the corners of the eyes are up and down, the earlobes are not on the same plane, etc. Once the damage of asymmetrical face lift surgery is formed, it is best to have another surgery to correct it.

Facelift Dangers: Paresthesia

Facelift surgery performed by inexperienced doctors may cause the risk of facial paresthesia. Facelift surgery requires extensive dissection under the facial skin, which will damage the superficial sensory nerves, causing sensory paralysis and abnormal sensations. This is a common hazard when facelift surgery is performed by inexperienced non-professional doctors. The body may return to normal after a period of recovery, which may take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. An experienced surgeon can avoid damage to large sensory nerves and shorten the duration of paresthesias experienced by the patient during face lift surgery.
