She had followed most of the nutrition and some exercise rules, but she couldn’t kick the smoking habit. She was a highly active businesswoman, and smoking helped calm her constantly pumped-up nerves. So she had reduced her smoking from 5 sticks a day to 2/day, even that was a struggle. </p><p>Even now, she needed to relax, and the jasmine tea she took earlier wasn’t catching up with her nerves. ‘Well what the hell! The doctor doesn’t have to know’, she thought to herself. ‘Besides what has smoking got to do with a surgery in the stomach area?’. So she lights the cigarette and takes a long full drag. ‘Ahhh! That’s better, feeling calmer already,’ she thought to herself. </p><p>She would wash her mouth with the smoker’s toothpaste and mouth wash she bought from Paris on her last trip and use her killer perfume to disguise the nicotine smell in the evening on her way to the surgery. </p><p>Time for the surgery, she got to the hospital two hours early, as she needed to be prepped, plus she couldn’t stay still. The Anaesthologists checked her vital signs and hooked her up to the machine. All seemed well - the surgery begins in thirty minutes. </p><p>However, one hour into the surgery, the oxygen monitor and heart rate machine started to go haywire. Her heart rate was slowing down dangerously; there was no time to lose; the surgery had to be paused while the problem was investigated. </p><p>Suddenly, the surgeon and anaesthesiologist had a light bulb moment; they remember seeing a note in her medical file that said she was a smoker. Quickly, albuterol (a bronchodilator medication) had to be administered. The surgeon orders the original calibrated oxygen levels to increase while they struggle to get her heart rate stable enough to continue the surgery. </p><p>It was a near miss! It’s one month after the surgery; she had survived the surgery but somehow slipped into a coma for seven days post-surgery. The coma was a result of complications during the surgery. She is back home now, and in recovery, the wounds won’t heal; she is feverish and has the chills and isn’t breathing right. Plus, there is this continuous cough and chest pain. </p><p>She is miserable and confused as this isn’t what she bargained for. Her checkup with her doctor reveals she has post-operative pneumonia and irregular blood clots due to complications from the surgery. She isn’t out of the woods yet as she has to be placed in the intensive care unit as her immune system is compromised, and she can’t fight this infection without adequate care and treatment from the hospital. At this rate, the doctors are more worried about keeping her alive than continuing with the liposuction process. </p><p>The diagnosis from the lab regarding all the complications she is experiencing leads back to her smoking habit. High levels of nicotine in her blood had impaired her immune functions. The same nicotine was stopping her healing process from commencing. Her body could not stand the strain and needed constant oxygen in her blood. </p><p>She had to admit to her doctor that she didn’t follow his instructions regarding smoking. Now her husband is pissed, plus she had replaced old scars with new thick scars that won’t go away, and she had not hugged her kids in two months. She can see the fear in their eyes through the glass doors when they visit; she is isolated from them to avoid spreading the infection. </p><p>If only she had listened to her doctor, if only she had quit smoking a month before the surgery, if only she hadn’t cared so much about her size four looks, if only she hadn’t smoked just before the surgery, if only… ‘Lord, please don’t let me die’ was her last thought as she slipped into a long sleep.</p><p>If you smoke and are having surgery, physician anesthesiologists recommend quitting smoking as soon as possible before the procedure.

It doesn’t matter whether you are going for surgery or not. The government and medical associations were not kidding when they advertised ‘smokers are liable to die young.\' Smoking is detrimental to your health in ways beyond infectious disease. </p><p>For one example, as seen above with Bimbo: it affects how the body responds to surgery.

The request makes sense because quitting even some days before surgery—plus staying smoke-free afterward—reduces the risk of some complications, re-oxygenates the blood, and aids the body to heal better and faster post-operation.</p><p>Still, wondering how or why smoking and surgery shouldn’t mix according to the experts? Let’s turn to the experts behind BecomeAnEX®, a digital quit-smoking program by Truth Initiative®, developed in collaboration with Mayo Clinic, to answer three common questions about smoking and surgery.</p><h5>Here Are Three Questions and Answers Regarding Smoking and Surgery.</h5><h6>Does smoking affect people having surgery?</h6><p>Yes, “Smoking before surgery puts you at a higher risk for post-operative heart attacks, blood clots, pneumonia and even death,” says pulmonologist <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/staff/18275-humberto-choi">Humberto Choi, MD</a>. “When I schedule surgery, I tell my patients they should stop smoking right away.”</p><p>Research in recent years has shown that when compared to non-smokers, smokers have a higher chance of being exposed to surgery-related complications like heart attack, stroke, shock, and even death. Smoking deoxygenates the blood and decreases blood flow, making surgical wounds less likely to heal and more likely to become infected.</p><p>Smoking also weakens the immune system, which increases the chance of infection after surgery by opportunistic infections and parasites. Smokers are more likely than non-smokers to experience specific complications from all types of surgeries, even cosmetic surgery. For example:<br /></p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Plastic surgery: higher scarring possibility.<br /></li><li>Liposuction: Takes longer to heal, fat necrosis, blood clots, thick scars, and higher pain levels.<br /></li><li>Breast reconstruction surgery: more likely to lose implants.<br /></li><li><a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://app.grammarly.com/ddocs/damidols.com/tummy-tuck-processes-risks-and-all-you-should-know/">Abdominoplasty</a>: Tissue necrosis, possible reopened incisions, impaired blood flow, non-healing wound.<br /></li><li><a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://app.grammarly.com/ddocs/damidols.com/cool-sculpting-what-how-and-everything-you-should-know-2/">Cool sculpting</a>: Smoking affects your exercise regimen effectiveness after the procedure and your body’s healing abilities.<br /></li><li>Spinal fusion surgery: higher chance of infection and bone fracture.<br /></li><li>Orthopaedic (bone or joint) surgery: bones can take longer to heal.<br /></li></ul></li></ul><p>In short, smoking increases your risks for massive and minor complications during plus after surgery. It also ruins your results.</p><h6>Why are smoking and surgery a bad combination?</h6><p>As seen with the case of Bimbo above, Dr. Choi, in an interview, explains why smoking before surgery is hazardous:<br />1. It complicates anesthesia “Anesthesiologists have to work harder to keep smokers breathing while under anesthesia, fighting against lungs compromised by cigarette smoke,” says Dr. Choi. “That makes it more likely that bronchodilator medications like albuterol must be used.” The American Society of Anesthesiologists reports that smoking reduces blood flow and your surgical incisions are more likely to become infected by opportunistic parasites since it slows healing.</p><p>2. The heart must exert more effort. Smoking impairs heart function, making a patient more susceptible to cardiac issues during or after surgery. According to the same JAMA research, smokers had a 77 percent higher risk of a heart attack following surgery than non-smokers. Tobacco harms your heart and blood vessels. They cause cardiac rhythm disturbances, inflammation and raise blood pressure and heart rate. Furthermore, smoking raises your chances of developing heart failure, having a heart attack, and dying from heart disease.</p><p>3. It takes longer for wounds to heal. Carbon monoxide deprives tissues of the oxygen they require to mend in a smoker\'s body. Toxins in smokers\' blood also infiltrate the tissue, complicating the healing process. Because oxygen is the major supply for healing wounds, you may be more susceptible to infections if you don\'t quit smoking before surgery. Even if you stop smoking 24 hours before your operation, the amount of oxygen in your body will rise. Whether you\'re a first-time smoker or have been smoking for 20 years, quitting smoking before surgery is critical to determining the success rate of your surgery.</p><p>The good news is that an impending operation may be precisely what a smoker requires to quit finally. It\'s never a bad thing to give up smoking, and your forthcoming surgery could be just the reason or motivation you need. Consult your doctor for information on resources or activities that might assist you in quitting smoking as soon as possible.</p><p>"Surgery is a fantastic moment to stop," Dr. Choi explains. "When I go over the dangers of pneumonia, heart attack, and mortality with patients, it helps them realize the heightened risks they\'re facing and how they may improve their result."</p><h6>Does quitting smoking help with surgical outcomes?</h6><p>In a recent research study, patients having coronary bypass surgery were examined to determine the impact that smoking has after surgery. Patients who smoked had more than twice as many avoidable heart and lung complications than patients who didn’t smoke. Astonishingly, patients who had quit smoking for just one month before surgery showed no complications like patients who had never smoked.</p><p>The scientists concluded after the study that quitting cigarettes before surgery makes a huge difference. The longer the quitting time, the better the results. Be that as it may, quitting a day or two before any surgery can make a tremendous difference. This is because, just within a day or two after the smoker quits, the blood re-oxygenates, the body can move more oxygen to cells, and general blood flow improves, making it easier for healing. Three to six weeks after stopping, the body’s immune function against opportunistic infections improves.</p><p>Final thoughts: As with Shakespeare’s question, “to be or not to be…”, to smoke or not to smoke, the final decision is yours. Smoking on its own has both immediate and long-term hazards that it can inflict on your health or life. To complicate it with a very strenuous procedure like surgery of any kind is to expose oneself to uncertain hardships. </p><p>Do you want to be like Bimbo?

Her heart rate was slowing down dangerously; there was no time to lose; the surgery had to be paused while the problem was investigated. </p><p>Suddenly, the surgeon and anaesthesiologist had a light bulb moment; they remember seeing a note in her medical file that said she was a smoker. Quickly, albuterol (a bronchodilator medication) had to be administered. The surgeon orders the original calibrated oxygen levels to increase while they struggle to get her heart rate stable enough to continue the surgery. </p><p>It was a near miss! It’s one month after the surgery; she had survived the surgery but somehow slipped into a coma for seven days post-surgery. The coma was a result of complications during the surgery. She is back home now, and in recovery, the wounds won’t heal; she is feverish and has the chills and isn’t breathing right. Plus, there is this continuous cough and chest pain. </p><p>She is miserable and confused as this isn’t what she bargained for. Her checkup with her doctor reveals she has post-operative pneumonia and irregular blood clots due to complications from the surgery. She isn’t out of the woods yet as she has to be placed in the intensive care unit as her immune system is compromised, and she can’t fight this infection without adequate care and treatment from the hospital. At this rate, the doctors are more worried about keeping her alive than continuing with the liposuction process. </p><p>The diagnosis from the lab regarding all the complications she is experiencing leads back to her smoking habit. High levels of nicotine in her blood had impaired her immune functions. The same nicotine was stopping her healing process from commencing. Her body could not stand the strain and needed constant oxygen in her blood. </p><p>She had to admit to her doctor that she didn’t follow his instructions regarding smoking. Now her husband is pissed, plus she had replaced old scars with new thick scars that won’t go away, and she had not hugged her kids in two months. She can see the fear in their eyes through the glass doors when they visit; she is isolated from them to avoid spreading the infection. </p><p>If only she had listened to her doctor, if only she had quit smoking a month before the surgery, if only she hadn’t cared so much about her size four looks, if only she hadn’t smoked just before the surgery, if only… ‘Lord, please don’t let me die’ was her last thought as she slipped into a long sleep.</p><p>If you smoke and are having surgery, physician anesthesiologists recommend quitting smoking as soon as possible before the procedure. It’s also important to meet with your physician or anesthesiologist about your smoking and how it might affect your anesthesia care plan’.

The request makes sense because quitting even some days before surgery—plus staying smoke-free afterward—reduces the risk of some complications, re-oxygenates the blood, and aids the body to heal better and faster post-operation.</p><p>Still, wondering how or why smoking and surgery shouldn’t mix according to the experts? Let’s turn to the experts behind BecomeAnEX®, a digital quit-smoking program by Truth Initiative®, developed in collaboration with Mayo Clinic, to answer three common questions about smoking and surgery.</p><h5>Here Are Three Questions and Answers Regarding Smoking and Surgery.</h5><h6>Does smoking affect people having surgery?</h6><p>Yes, “Smoking before surgery puts you at a higher risk for post-operative heart attacks, blood clots, pneumonia and even death,” says pulmonologist <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/staff/18275-humberto-choi">Humberto Choi, MD</a>. “When I schedule surgery, I tell my patients they should stop smoking right away.”</p><p>Research in recent years has shown that when compared to non-smokers, smokers have a higher chance of being exposed to surgery-related complications like heart attack, stroke, shock, and even death. Smoking deoxygenates the blood and decreases blood flow, making surgical wounds less likely to heal and more likely to become infected.</p><p>Smoking also weakens the immune system, which increases the chance of infection after surgery by opportunistic infections and parasites. Smokers are more likely than non-smokers to experience specific complications from all types of surgeries, even cosmetic surgery. For example:<br /></p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Plastic surgery: higher scarring possibility.<br /></li><li>Liposuction: Takes longer to heal, fat necrosis, blood clots, thick scars, and higher pain levels.<br /></li><li>Breast reconstruction surgery: more likely to lose implants.<br /></li><li><a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://app.grammarly.com/ddocs/damidols.com/tummy-tuck-processes-risks-and-all-you-should-know/">Abdominoplasty</a>: Tissue necrosis, possible reopened incisions, impaired blood flow, non-healing wound.<br /></li><li><a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://app.grammarly.com/ddocs/damidols.com/cool-sculpting-what-how-and-everything-you-should-know-2/">Cool sculpting</a>: Smoking affects your exercise regimen effectiveness after the procedure and your body’s healing abilities.<br /></li><li>Spinal fusion surgery: higher chance of infection and bone fracture.<br /></li><li>Orthopaedic (bone or joint) surgery: bones can take longer to heal.<br /></li></ul></li></ul><p>In short, smoking increases your risks for massive and minor complications during plus after surgery. It also ruins your results.</p><h6>Why are smoking and surgery a bad combination?</h6><p>As seen with the case of Bimbo above, Dr. Choi, in an interview, explains why smoking before surgery is hazardous:<br />1. It complicates anesthesia “Anesthesiologists have to work harder to keep smokers breathing while under anesthesia, fighting against lungs compromised by cigarette smoke,” says Dr. Choi. “That makes it more likely that bronchodilator medications like albuterol must be used.” The American Society of Anesthesiologists reports that smoking reduces blood flow and your surgical incisions are more likely to become infected by opportunistic parasites since it slows healing.</p><p>2. The heart must exert more effort. Smoking impairs heart function, making a patient more susceptible to cardiac issues during or after surgery. According to the same JAMA research, smokers had a 77 percent higher risk of a heart attack following surgery than non-smokers. Tobacco harms your heart and blood vessels. They cause cardiac rhythm disturbances, inflammation and raise blood pressure and heart rate. Furthermore, smoking raises your chances of developing heart failure, having a heart attack, and dying from heart disease.</p><p>3. It takes longer for wounds to heal. Carbon monoxide deprives tissues of the oxygen they require to mend in a smoker\'s body. Toxins in smokers\' blood also infiltrate the tissue, complicating the healing process. Because oxygen is the major supply for healing wounds, you may be more susceptible to infections if you don\'t quit smoking before surgery. Even if you stop smoking 24 hours before your operation, the amount of oxygen in your body will rise. Whether you\'re a first-time smoker or have been smoking for 20 years, quitting smoking before surgery is critical to determining the success rate of your surgery.</p><p>The good news is that an impending operation may be precisely what a smoker requires to quit finally. It\'s never a bad thing to give up smoking, and your forthcoming surgery could be just the reason or motivation you need. Consult your doctor for information on resources or activities that might assist you in quitting smoking as soon as possible.</p><p>"Surgery is a fantastic moment to stop," Dr. Choi explains. "When I go over the dangers of pneumonia, heart attack, and mortality with patients, it helps them realize the heightened risks they\'re facing and how they may improve their result."</p><h6>Does quitting smoking help with surgical outcomes?</h6><p>In a recent research study, patients having coronary bypass surgery were examined to determine the impact that smoking has after surgery. Patients who smoked had more than twice as many avoidable heart and lung complications than patients who didn’t smoke. Astonishingly, patients who had quit smoking for just one month before surgery showed no complications like patients who had never smoked.</p><p>The scientists concluded after the study that quitting cigarettes before surgery makes a huge difference. The longer the quitting time, the better the results. Be that as it may, quitting a day or two before any surgery can make a tremendous difference. This is because, just within a day or two after the smoker quits, the blood re-oxygenates, the body can move more oxygen to cells, and general blood flow improves, making it easier for healing. Three to six weeks after stopping, the body’s immune function against opportunistic infections improves.</p><p>Final thoughts: As with Shakespeare’s question, “to be or not to be…”, to smoke or not to smoke, the final decision is yours. Smoking on its own has both immediate and long-term hazards that it can inflict on your health or life. To complicate it with a very strenuous procedure like surgery of any kind is to expose oneself to uncertain hardships. </p><p>Do you want to be like Bimbo?

It was a new year, and this year she clocks 40. Ahhh! The amazing 40! She was going to have a big birthday bash come October 25th. But today, she must concentrate on the task ahead. She was finally having surgery! Bimbo is excited beyond words as she eagerly looks forward to the surgery results in a couple of months. </p><p>After giving birth to her three designer dresses. “Keto diet and exercises seemed too slow though she cheated most times”. She admits to herself. But that isn’t the crust of the matter. She can’t seem to muster the courage to get fully naked before her husband in the bedroom. She couldn’t have him see, let alone touch her battle scars from the last cesarean section birth. </p><p>Yes, her husband didn’t mind and treated her like an Amazonian Queen as he practically worshipped the ground she walked on, yet she didn’t feel whole enough to bask in the warmth of his love until she could get rid of the bloated abdomen and large love handles. And today was that day.</p><p>The day starts for Bimbo, like every other day, with a cup of tea and a light breakfast followed by smoking 2 sticks of cigarettes as she checks her Instagram feed for product orders from her clients. Except it was the second day in the New Year 2021- she is scheduled for liposuction that evening.</p><p>Her plastic surgeon had assured her the surgery today was the beginning of the journey to getting her on the road to looking fabulous again at her last consultation appointment one month ago. Though it would be the first in a series, she was resolute in her new year’s resolve to do all it takes to look amazing and feel again. </p><p>With this thought, she looks at the checklist of things not to do in one month leading up to the surgery date as directed by her doctor. She had followed most of the nutrition and some exercise rules, but she couldn’t kick the smoking habit. She was a highly active businesswoman, and smoking helped calm her constantly pumped-up nerves. So she had reduced her smoking from 5 sticks a day to 2/day, even that was a struggle. </p><p>Even now, she needed to relax, and the jasmine tea she took earlier wasn’t catching up with her nerves. ‘Well what the hell! The doctor doesn’t have to know’, she thought to herself. ‘Besides what has smoking got to do with a surgery in the stomach area?’. So she lights the cigarette and takes a long full drag. ‘Ahhh! That’s better, feeling calmer already,’ she thought to herself. </p><p>She would wash her mouth with the smoker’s toothpaste and mouth wash she bought from Paris on her last trip and use her killer perfume to disguise the nicotine smell in the evening on her way to the surgery. </p><p>Time for the surgery, she got to the hospital two hours early, as she needed to be prepped, plus she couldn’t stay still.

Smoking deoxygenates the blood and decreases blood flow, making surgical wounds less likely to heal and more likely to become infected.</p><p>Smoking also weakens the immune system, which increases the chance of infection after surgery by opportunistic infections and parasites. Smokers are more likely than non-smokers to experience specific complications from all types of surgeries, even cosmetic surgery. For example:<br /></p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Plastic surgery: higher scarring possibility.<br /></li><li>Liposuction: Takes longer to heal, fat necrosis, blood clots, thick scars, and higher pain levels.<br /></li><li>Breast reconstruction surgery: more likely to lose implants.<br /></li><li><a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://app.grammarly.com/ddocs/damidols.com/tummy-tuck-processes-risks-and-all-you-should-know/">Abdominoplasty</a>: Tissue necrosis, possible reopened incisions, impaired blood flow, non-healing wound.<br /></li><li><a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://app.grammarly.com/ddocs/damidols.com/cool-sculpting-what-how-and-everything-you-should-know-2/">Cool sculpting</a>: Smoking affects your exercise regimen effectiveness after the procedure and your body’s healing abilities.<br /></li><li>Spinal fusion surgery: higher chance of infection and bone fracture.<br /></li><li>Orthopaedic (bone or joint) surgery: bones can take longer to heal.<br /></li></ul></li></ul><p>In short, smoking increases your risks for massive and minor complications during plus after surgery. It also ruins your results.</p><h6>Why are smoking and surgery a bad combination?</h6><p>As seen with the case of Bimbo above, Dr. Choi, in an interview, explains why smoking before surgery is hazardous:<br />1. It complicates anesthesia “Anesthesiologists have to work harder to keep smokers breathing while under anesthesia, fighting against lungs compromised by cigarette smoke,” says Dr. Choi. “That makes it more likely that bronchodilator medications like albuterol must be used.” The American Society of Anesthesiologists reports that smoking reduces blood flow and your surgical incisions are more likely to become infected by opportunistic parasites since it slows healing.</p><p>2. The heart must exert more effort. Smoking impairs heart function, making a patient more susceptible to cardiac issues during or after surgery. According to the same JAMA research, smokers had a 77 percent higher risk of a heart attack following surgery than non-smokers. Tobacco harms your heart and blood vessels. They cause cardiac rhythm disturbances, inflammation and raise blood pressure and heart rate. Furthermore, smoking raises your chances of developing heart failure, having a heart attack, and dying from heart disease.</p><p>3. It takes longer for wounds to heal. Carbon monoxide deprives tissues of the oxygen they require to mend in a smoker\'s body. Toxins in smokers\' blood also infiltrate the tissue, complicating the healing process. Because oxygen is the major supply for healing wounds, you may be more susceptible to infections if you don\'t quit smoking before surgery. Even if you stop smoking 24 hours before your operation, the amount of oxygen in your body will rise. Whether you\'re a first-time smoker or have been smoking for 20 years, quitting smoking before surgery is critical to determining the success rate of your surgery.</p><p>The good news is that an impending operation may be precisely what a smoker requires to quit finally. It\'s never a bad thing to give up smoking, and your forthcoming surgery could be just the reason or motivation you need. Consult your doctor for information on resources or activities that might assist you in quitting smoking as soon as possible.</p><p>"Surgery is a fantastic moment to stop," Dr. Choi explains. "When I go over the dangers of pneumonia, heart attack, and mortality with patients, it helps them realize the heightened risks they\'re facing and how they may improve their result."</p><h6>Does quitting smoking help with surgical outcomes?</h6><p>In a recent research study, patients having coronary bypass surgery were examined to determine the impact that smoking has after surgery. Patients who smoked had more than twice as many avoidable heart and lung complications than patients who didn’t smoke. Astonishingly, patients who had quit smoking for just one month before surgery showed no complications like patients who had never smoked.</p><p>The scientists concluded after the study that quitting cigarettes before surgery makes a huge difference. The longer the quitting time, the better the results. Be that as it may, quitting a day or two before any surgery can make a tremendous difference. This is because, just within a day or two after the smoker quits, the blood re-oxygenates, the body can move more oxygen to cells, and general blood flow improves, making it easier for healing. Three to six weeks after stopping, the body’s immune function against opportunistic infections improves.</p><p>Final thoughts: As with Shakespeare’s question, “to be or not to be…”, to smoke or not to smoke, the final decision is yours. Smoking on its own has both immediate and long-term hazards that it can inflict on your health or life. To complicate it with a very strenuous procedure like surgery of any kind is to expose oneself to uncertain hardships. </p><p>Do you want to be like Bimbo?

It was a new year, and this year she clocks 40. Ahhh! The amazing 40! She was going to have a big birthday bash come October 25th. But today, she must concentrate on the task ahead. She was finally having surgery! Bimbo is excited beyond words as she eagerly looks forward to the surgery results in a couple of months. </p><p>After giving birth to her three designer dresses. “Keto diet and exercises seemed too slow though she cheated most times”. She admits to herself. But that isn’t the crust of the matter. She can’t seem to muster the courage to get fully naked before her husband in the bedroom. She couldn’t have him see, let alone touch her battle scars from the last cesarean section birth. </p><p>Yes, her husband didn’t mind and treated her like an Amazonian Queen as he practically worshipped the ground she walked on, yet she didn’t feel whole enough to bask in the warmth of his love until she could get rid of the bloated abdomen and large love handles. And today was that day.</p><p>The day starts for Bimbo, like every other day, with a cup of tea and a light breakfast followed by smoking 2 sticks of cigarettes as she checks her Instagram feed for product orders from her clients. Except it was the second day in the New Year 2021- she is scheduled for liposuction that evening.</p><p>Her plastic surgeon had assured her the surgery today was the beginning of the journey to getting her on the road to looking fabulous again at her last consultation appointment one month ago. Though it would be the first in a series, she was resolute in her new year’s resolve to do all it takes to look amazing and feel again. </p><p>With this thought, she looks at the checklist of things not to do in one month leading up to the surgery date as directed by her doctor. She had followed most of the nutrition and some exercise rules, but she couldn’t kick the smoking habit. She was a highly active businesswoman, and smoking helped calm her constantly pumped-up nerves. So she had reduced her smoking from 5 sticks a day to 2/day, even that was a struggle. </p><p>Even now, she needed to relax, and the jasmine tea she took earlier wasn’t catching up with her nerves. ‘Well what the hell! The doctor doesn’t have to know’, she thought to herself. ‘Besides what has smoking got to do with a surgery in the stomach area?’. So she lights the cigarette and takes a long full drag. ‘Ahhh! That’s better, feeling calmer already,’ she thought to herself. </p><p>She would wash her mouth with the smoker’s toothpaste and mouth wash she bought from Paris on her last trip and use her killer perfume to disguise the nicotine smell in the evening on her way to the surgery. </p><p>Time for the surgery, she got to the hospital two hours early, as she needed to be prepped, plus she couldn’t stay still. The Anaesthologists checked her vital signs and hooked her up to the machine. All seemed well - the surgery begins in thirty minutes. </p><p>However, one hour into the surgery, the oxygen monitor and heart rate machine started to go haywire. Her heart rate was slowing down dangerously; there was no time to lose; the surgery had to be paused while the problem was investigated. </p><p>Suddenly, the surgeon and anaesthesiologist had a light bulb moment; they remember seeing a note in her medical file that said she was a smoker. Quickly, albuterol (a bronchodilator medication) had to be administered. The surgeon orders the original calibrated oxygen levels to increase while they struggle to get her heart rate stable enough to continue the surgery. </p><p>It was a near miss! It’s one month after the surgery; she had survived the surgery but somehow slipped into a coma for seven days post-surgery. The coma was a result of complications during the surgery. She is back home now, and in recovery, the wounds won’t heal; she is feverish and has the chills and isn’t breathing right. Plus, there is this continuous cough and chest pain. </p><p>She is miserable and confused as this isn’t what she bargained for. Her checkup with her doctor reveals she has post-operative pneumonia and irregular blood clots due to complications from the surgery. She isn’t out of the woods yet as she has to be placed in the intensive care unit as her immune system is compromised, and she can’t fight this infection without adequate care and treatment from the hospital. At this rate, the doctors are more worried about keeping her alive than continuing with the liposuction process. </p><p>The diagnosis from the lab regarding all the complications she is experiencing leads back to her smoking habit. High levels of nicotine in her blood had impaired her immune functions. The same nicotine was stopping her healing process from commencing. Her body could not stand the strain and needed constant oxygen in her blood. </p><p>She had to admit to her doctor that she didn’t follow his instructions regarding smoking. Now her husband is pissed, plus she had replaced old scars with new thick scars that won’t go away, and she had not hugged her kids in two months. She can see the fear in their eyes through the glass doors when they visit; she is isolated from them to avoid spreading the infection. </p><p>If only she had listened to her doctor, if only she had quit smoking a month before the surgery, if only she hadn’t cared so much about her size four looks, if only she hadn’t smoked just before the surgery, if only… ‘Lord, please don’t let me die’ was her last thought as she slipped into a long sleep.</p><p>If you smoke and are having surgery, physician anesthesiologists recommend quitting smoking as soon as possible before the procedure.

It complicates anesthesia “Anesthesiologists have to work harder to keep smokers breathing while under anesthesia, fighting against lungs compromised by cigarette smoke,” says Dr. Choi. “That makes it more likely that bronchodilator medications like albuterol must be used.” The American Society of Anesthesiologists reports that smoking reduces blood flow and your surgical incisions are more likely to become infected by opportunistic parasites since it slows healing.\n\n2. The heart must exert more effort. Smoking impairs heart function, making a patient more susceptible to cardiac issues during or after surgery. According to the same JAMA research, smokers had a 77 percent higher risk of a heart attack following surgery than non-smokers. Tobacco harms your heart and blood vessels. They cause cardiac rhythm disturbances, inflammation and raise blood pressure and heart rate. Furthermore, smoking raises your chances of developing heart failure, having a heart attack, and dying from heart disease.\n\n3. It takes longer for wounds to heal. Carbon monoxide deprives tissues of the oxygen they require to mend in a smoker\'s body. Toxins in smokers\' blood also infiltrate the tissue, complicating the healing process. Because oxygen is the major supply for healing wounds, you may be more susceptible to infections if you don\'t quit smoking before surgery. Even if you stop smoking 24 hours before your operation, the amount of oxygen in your body will rise. Whether you\'re a first-time smoker or have been smoking for 20 years, quitting smoking before surgery is critical to determining the success rate of your surgery.\n\nThe good news is that an impending operation may be precisely what a smoker requires to quit finally. It\'s never a bad thing to give up smoking, and your forthcoming surgery could be just the reason or motivation you need. Consult your doctor for information on resources or activities that might assist you in quitting smoking as soon as possible.\n\n"Surgery is a fantastic moment to stop," Dr. Choi explains. "When I go over the dangers of pneumonia, heart attack, and mortality with patients, it helps them realize the heightened risks they\'re facing and how they may improve their result."\n<h6>Does quitting smoking help with surgical outcomes?</h6>\nIn a recent research study, patients having coronary bypass surgery were examined to determine the impact that smoking has after surgery. Patients who smoked had more than twice as many avoidable heart and lung complications than patients who didn’t smoke. Astonishingly, patients who had quit smoking for just one month before surgery showed no complications like patients who had never smoked.\n\nThe scientists concluded after the study that quitting cigarettes before surgery makes a huge difference. The longer the quitting time, the better the results. Be that as it may, quitting a day or two before any surgery can make a tremendous difference. This is because, just within a day or two after the smoker quits, the blood re-oxygenates, the body can move more oxygen to cells, and general blood flow improves, making it easier for healing. Three to six weeks after stopping, the body’s immune function against opportunistic infections improves.\n\nFinal thoughts: As with Shakespeare’s question, “to be or not to be…”, to smoke or not to smoke, the final decision is yours. Smoking on its own has both immediate and long-term hazards that it can inflict on your health or life. To complicate it with a very strenuous procedure like surgery of any kind is to expose oneself to uncertain hardships.\n\nDo you want to be like Bimbo?

Meeting the surgeon will give you a better understanding of your choice, make realistic expectations based on your physiology, create an optimal strategy, and then choose the best-fit approach. Understanding the diagnosis and choices available is key to achieving the desired look.&nbsp;\n\nIn this article, we will only look at the butt lift option.\n<h5><strong>What is the Butt Lift?</strong></h5>\nA buttock lift is a technique that improves the look of the buttocks through cosmetic surgery. It can shape the buttocks, groin, thighs, and abdomen as part of a tummy tuck (belt lipectomy) or lower body lift. A buttock lift by itself will not increase buttock volume. A buttock lift is occasionally paired with augmentation surgery to change the form or size of the buttocks using implants or fat grafts.\n\nExcess skin and fat are removed from the buttocks during a buttock lift. The excess skin is then relocated to give a more toned appearance. A butt lift can be paired with fat transfers to generate greater projection and a better form for people who want more volume. Due to age or extreme weight reduction, it can substantially improve excess skin and fat in the gluteal region. Unlike a "<a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://damidols.com/brazilian-butt-lift-your-instant-butt-lift-solution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brazilian butt lift</a>," which uses fat transfer to increase volume, this surgery requires surgical excision and occasionally liposuction to remove skin and fat.\n<h5><strong>Should You Get a Buttock Lift?</strong></h5>\nGetting a butt lift is totally up to you. There is no hard or fast rule to getting one. However, if you are unhappy with how you look when you are naked or in clothes, then you might consider a butt lift if:\n<ul>\n 	<li style="list-style-type: none;">\n<ul>\n 	<li>Your buttocks\' skin looks loose and sagging,</li>\n 	<li>You\'ve just lost a lot of weight and are getting close to your desired weight or shape size.</li>\n 	<li>You\'re self-conscious about your extra skin or if it\'s making you uncomfortable or causing mobility issues.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\nNot everyone is a good candidate for a buttock lift. If you have any of the following conditions, your doctor may advise against a buttock lift if you:\n<ul>\n 	<li style="list-style-type: none;">\n<ul>\n 	<li>Have a serious chronic illness, such as diabetes or heart disease?</li>\n 	<li>Intend to drop a substantial amount of weight.</li>\n 	<li>Have a body mass index of more than 32.</li>\n 	<li>Are you a tobacco user?</li>\n 	<li>Have a mental health problem that isn\'t stable?</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h5>How to Know You are a Suitable Candidate for a Buttock Lift?</h5>\nIt is not advisable to undergo a butt lift on a whim and only do it if you have genuine concerns. Sagging skin and fat in the gluteal or, in this case, butt area may add heft to your physique and thwart your efforts to slim down and sculpt it even via exercise and diet. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may be an excellent candidate for a buttock lift if you:\n<ul>\n 	<li style="list-style-type: none;">\n<ul>\n 	<li>Have had bariatric surgery or lost a large amount of weight.</li>\n 	<li>Possess loose skin and cellulite on your buttocks due to pregnancy and/or age.</li>\n 	<li>Have skin laxity, extra skin, and sagginess in the buttocks are all present.</li>\n 	<li>Have a thin layer of fat under your skin.</li>\n 	<li>Don\'t use tobacco.&nbsp;<a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://damidols.com/smoking-and-surgery-good-or-bad-combination/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Smoking hinders</a>&nbsp;recovery and raises the risk of problems during and after surgery.

Drainage tubes that are left in place after surgery can help prevent seroma. Your doctor may use a needle and syringe to drain fluid following surgery.</li>\n 	<li>Wound healing is poor.

It might take up to six months for you to fully recover. It will speed up your recovery, enhance your outcomes, and reduce problems if you are in excellent health, don\'t smoke, and have adequate support following surgery.\n\nButtock lifts produce long-lasting results. Weight changes, pregnancy, and age, like with any operation, will impact the body and the effects of your gluteoplasty or butt lift. You may preserve a youthful contour for a long time if you engage in a healthy lifestyle and prevent major weight gain. Also, you must follow your doctor’s advice to the letter. Maintain a stable relationship with your surgeon to ensure they know how your recovery is progressing.\n\nIn the end, a buttock lift can give you a more toned appearance by removing extra skin and fat from your buttocks. The effects of a buttock lift are typically long-lasting. Keep in mind that keeping your weight constant is critical to preserving your results. However, suppose you find all of these processes to be too life-altering for your taste, not to worry.

It can shape the buttocks, groin, thighs, and abdomen as part of a tummy tuck (belt lipectomy) or lower body lift. A buttock lift by itself will not increase buttock volume. A buttock lift is occasionally paired with augmentation surgery to change the form or size of the buttocks using implants or fat grafts.</p><p>Excess skin and fat are removed from the buttocks during a buttock lift. The excess skin is then relocated to give a more toned appearance. A butt lift can be paired with fat transfers to generate greater projection and a better form for people who want more volume. Due to age or extreme weight reduction, it can substantially improve excess skin and fat in the gluteal region. Unlike a "<a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://damidols.com/brazilian-butt-lift-your-instant-butt-lift-solution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brazilian butt lift</a>," which uses fat transfer to increase volume, this surgery requires surgical excision and occasionally liposuction to remove skin and fat.</p><h5><strong>Should You Get a Buttock Lift?</strong></h5><p>Getting a butt lift is totally up to you. There is no hard or fast rule to getting one. However, if you are unhappy with how you look when you are naked or in clothes, then you might consider a butt lift if:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Your buttocks\' skin looks loose and sagging,</li><li>You\'ve just lost a lot of weight and are getting close to your desired weight or shape size.</li><li>You\'re self-conscious about your extra skin or if it\'s making you uncomfortable or causing mobility issues.</li></ul></li></ul><p>Not everyone is a good candidate for a buttock lift. If you have any of the following conditions, your doctor may advise against a buttock lift if you:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Have a serious chronic illness, such as diabetes or heart disease?</li><li>Intend to drop a substantial amount of weight.</li><li>Have a body mass index of more than 32.</li><li>Are you a tobacco user?</li><li>Have a mental health problem that isn\'t stable?</li></ul></li></ul><h5>How to Know You are a Suitable Candidate for a Buttock Lift?</h5><p>It is not advisable to undergo a butt lift on a whim and only do it if you have genuine concerns. Sagging skin and fat in the gluteal or, in this case, butt area may add heft to your physique and thwart your efforts to slim down and sculpt it even via exercise and diet. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may be an excellent candidate for a buttock lift if you:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Have had bariatric surgery or lost a large amount of weight.</li><li>Possess loose skin and cellulite on your buttocks due to pregnancy and/or age.</li><li>Have skin laxity, extra skin, and sagginess in the buttocks are all present.</li><li>Have a thin layer of fat under your skin.</li><li>Don\'t use tobacco. <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://damidols.com/smoking-and-surgery-good-or-bad-combination/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Smoking hinders</a> recovery and raises the risk of problems during and after surgery.

Understanding the diagnosis and choices available is key to achieving the desired look. </p><p>In this article, we will only look at the butt lift option.</p><h5><strong>What is the Butt Lift?</strong></h5><p>A buttock lift is a technique that improves the look of the buttocks through cosmetic surgery. It can shape the buttocks, groin, thighs, and abdomen as part of a tummy tuck (belt lipectomy) or lower body lift. A buttock lift by itself will not increase buttock volume. A buttock lift is occasionally paired with augmentation surgery to change the form or size of the buttocks using implants or fat grafts.</p><p>Excess skin and fat are removed from the buttocks during a buttock lift. The excess skin is then relocated to give a more toned appearance. A butt lift can be paired with fat transfers to generate greater projection and a better form for people who want more volume. Due to age or extreme weight reduction, it can substantially improve excess skin and fat in the gluteal region. Unlike a "<a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://damidols.com/brazilian-butt-lift-your-instant-butt-lift-solution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brazilian butt lift</a>," which uses fat transfer to increase volume, this surgery requires surgical excision and occasionally liposuction to remove skin and fat.</p><h5><strong>Should You Get a Buttock Lift?</strong></h5><p>Getting a butt lift is totally up to you. There is no hard or fast rule to getting one. However, if you are unhappy with how you look when you are naked or in clothes, then you might consider a butt lift if:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Your buttocks\' skin looks loose and sagging,</li><li>You\'ve just lost a lot of weight and are getting close to your desired weight or shape size.</li><li>You\'re self-conscious about your extra skin or if it\'s making you uncomfortable or causing mobility issues.</li></ul></li></ul><p>Not everyone is a good candidate for a buttock lift. If you have any of the following conditions, your doctor may advise against a buttock lift if you:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Have a serious chronic illness, such as diabetes or heart disease?</li><li>Intend to drop a substantial amount of weight.</li><li>Have a body mass index of more than 32.</li><li>Are you a tobacco user?</li><li>Have a mental health problem that isn\'t stable?</li></ul></li></ul><h5>How to Know You are a Suitable Candidate for a Buttock Lift?</h5><p>It is not advisable to undergo a butt lift on a whim and only do it if you have genuine concerns. Sagging skin and fat in the gluteal or, in this case, butt area may add heft to your physique and thwart your efforts to slim down and sculpt it even via exercise and diet. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may be an excellent candidate for a buttock lift if you:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Have had bariatric surgery or lost a large amount of weight.</li><li>Possess loose skin and cellulite on your buttocks due to pregnancy and/or age.</li><li>Have skin laxity, extra skin, and sagginess in the buttocks are all present.</li><li>Have a thin layer of fat under your skin.</li><li>Don\'t use tobacco. <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://damidols.com/smoking-and-surgery-good-or-bad-combination/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Smoking hinders</a> recovery and raises the risk of problems during and after surgery.

Drainage tubes that are left in place after surgery can help prevent seroma. Your doctor may use a needle and syringe to drain fluid following surgery.</li><li>Wound healing is poor.

It does not matter the age, social status, health status, or otherwise. The face is the first line of identification/recognition and a mirror for your own self-esteem/confidence. Hence, it is a delicate part of our physique in our subconscious. The skin on the face can deteriorate over time due to various factors. These factors include regular and long-term sun exposure, toxins in skin care products and makeup, air or environmental pollution, gravity, and age.\n\nThe skin around the face may begin to slacken, develop creases and wrinkles, and lose its luster. Today\'s market is flooded with products whose ‘claim to fame’ promises to minimize wrinkles, rejuvenate the skin, and improve the overall facial look. This may be true for some cases, but then, they could assist for a day, a week, or a few months, but none of them can replace a face lift\'s gorgeous new start with a longer-lasting promise.\n<ul>\n 	<li><a href="#understand">Understanding The Procedure</a></li>\n 	<li><a href="#get">Who Should Get One?</a></li>\n 	<li><a href="#best">Best Time to Get One</a></li>\n 	<li><a href="#types">Different Types\n</a></li>\n 	<li><a href="#benefits">Benefits</a></li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n 	<li><a href="#risks">Risks &amp; Effects</a></li>\n 	<li><a href="#factors">Factors to Consider</a></li>\n 	<li><a href="#question">Needed Questions</a></li>\n 	<li><a href="#conclusions">Conclusions</a></li>\n</ul>\nMaybe you have tried these types of lotions, facials, and cosmetic treatments but are experiencing little to no results, and you are confused as to what to do next? If that was not enough pain, you tend to become self-conscious when people look at your face for too long. One popular quick-fix yet the more long-term option is a facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, to correct this uncomfortable situation.&nbsp;\n\nAmong the various cosmetic procedures carried out in the USA,&nbsp;<a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5519425/#R2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">facelift surgery remains</a>&nbsp;one of the most common facial cosmetic operations performed. It was the seventh most popular kind of cosmetic surgery among men. Yes, even the men are not left out in the fray for a firmer youthful face. In the United States in 2016, it was reported that&nbsp;<a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.surgery.org/sites/default/files/ASAPS-Stats2016.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">13,702 men and 107,261 women</a>&nbsp;underwent facelift surgery.\n\nAging, sickness, drugs, weight loss could cause your facial skin to lose its suppleness. We all agree that sagging or loose skin around the jawline or neck can be pretty uncomfortable, especially when you look at your reflection in the mirror. Depending on your aspirations, a facelift procedure or rhytidectomy might be the best option to achieve your cosmetic objectives. This surgical operation removes extra fat/flesh from the face, tightens the facial muscles, and gives the face a more youthful look. It is not a permanent fix, but it beats most alternatives.&nbsp;\n\nLet\'s dive into what it is and other facts to help you decide if you are a perfect fit for the surgery.\n<h5 style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://damidols.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Facelift-Before-After-1.jpg" alt="Facelift-Before-After-1" width="1000" height="568"></h5>\n<h5><strong>What is a Facelift?</strong></h5>\nAs stated above, a facelift (also known as rhytidectomy) is an aesthetic surgical operation that can help with your looks. Sagging, folds of skin, and contour of your face that occur with age, can be reduced with this surgery. A facelift involves pulling back a flap of skin on either side of the face and surgically altering the tissues beneath the skin to restore the face\'s curvature towards a more youthful form.\n\nThis surgery can erase deep creases around the forehead, mouth, nose, excess drooping skin and fat just underneath the jawline and in the neck. The procedure can also tighten underlying tissues and be combined with other surgical procedures to enhance the look of the forehead, cheeks, brows, and eyelids, depending on the need.\n<h5><strong>Who Needs a Facelift?</strong></h5>\nDue to natural age-related changes, effects of long time use of makeups, cosmetic, prolonged sun exposure, weight loss, sickness etc., the look and shape of your face might experience a few changes. Any one of these conditions may cause fat deposits to decrease in some areas of your face as your skin becomes less elastic and loose. The following are age-related changes in your face that may be minimized with a facelift:\n<ul>\n 	<li style="list-style-type: none;">\n<ul>\n 	<li>Your cheeks have started to sag.</li>\n 	<li>Excessive skin around the lower jawline (jowls)</li>\n 	<li>The skin fold from the side of your nose to the corner of your lips deepens.</li>\n 	<li>Neck skin that has sagged and fat that has accumulated (if the procedure includes a neck lift)</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\nOther candidates for facelifts include:\n\nHealthy non-smokers or drug abusers with no medical issues that could compromise their healing process. Remember&nbsp;<a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://damidols.com/smoking-and-surgery-good-or-bad-combination/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">smoking before surgery</a>&nbsp;can have dire consequences. Don’t test fate on this!\n\nFor age-related facelifts, let’s look at the best-suggested age range for facelift surgery and briefly at the various facelift options available to you.\n<h5><strong>When Is the Best Time to Get a Facelift?</strong></h5>\nGetting a facelift is a highly individual choice. Quite frankly, you should start with an honest discussion with your board-certified plastic surgeon. That said, a facelift is most effective for persons in their 40s, 50s, and above when indications of aging begin to appear. Deep lines, wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin are signs of aging. They are best treated surgically rather than non-surgically.&nbsp;\n\nHowever, there is no set age for facelift surgery; everyone ages at a different rate due to several variables. When aging begins, and non-surgical therapies like neuromodulators, fillers, and skin resurfacing therapies no longer deliver the results you want, you should consider a facelift.\n\n<strong>Pro Tip</strong>: Remember that ad, “not for persons under age…” well, anyone under the age of 30 with no facial issues or diseases should avoid getting a facelift. Under 30’s should consider adopting a healthier, more sustainable face and health routine. This will help slow down the signs of aging.\n<h5><strong>Types of Face-Lifts</strong></h5>\nDependent on your goals, a few different types of facelifts may be a better fit for you. However, this will be determined by your plastic surgeon or medical consultant. According to plastic surgeon&nbsp;<a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.drkooskincare.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michele Koo, MD, FACS</a>, double board-certified and the founder of Private Practice Skincare, there are numerous types of facelifts.&nbsp;\n\n<strong>Mini-Facelift:</strong>&nbsp;The mini facelift is a simplified facelift that tackles sagging skin around the neck and jawline.\n\n<strong>Mid-facelift:</strong>&nbsp;Often known as a cheek lift. It focuses on correcting sagging skin from the upper mouth to the eyes, and the cheeks and nose are included in this area.\n\n<strong>Non-surgical facelifts:</strong>&nbsp;This doesn\'t involve general anesthesia or big incisions, but they address aging signs, including drooping or sagging skin, creases, and wrinkles. Non-surgical techniques that target the skin of the face include vampire facelifts, liquid facelifts, and thread lifts.\n<h5><strong>Benefits of Face-Lifts.</strong></h5>\n<ul>\n 	<li style="list-style-type: none;">\n<ul>\n 	<li>Facelifts are one-step procedures that address a variety of signs of aging.</li>\n 	<li>Facelift procedures can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to achieve the best results.</li>\n 	<li>The fastest way to help you get rid of a double chin.</li>\n 	<li>A natural-looking new, younger you.</li>\n 	<li>Your jowls (lower or drooping jawline) can be removed with a facelift.</li>\n 	<li>Facial skin that has become sagging will be tightened.</li>\n 	<li>Facelifts, if correctly done, give surgical scars that aren\'t visible</li>\n 	<li>Facelifts help drastic reduction in the visibility of deep wrinkles</li>\n 	<li>Facelifts aren\'t gender-specific, and men can also have a facelift.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h5><strong>Facelift Risks and Side Effects.</strong></h5>\nAs with all medical procedures, e.g.,&nbsp;<a href="https://damidols.com/liposuction-how-shapewear-can-help-you-heal-faster/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">liposuction</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://damidols.com/buttock-lift-surgery-heres-what-you-need-to-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">butt-lifts</a>,&nbsp;<a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://damidols.com/tummy-tuck-processes-risks-and-all-you-should-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abdominoplasty</a>, etc., facelifts also have risks. The following are some of the dangers:\n<ul>\n 	<li style="list-style-type: none;">\n<ul>\n 	<li>dangers of anesthesia.</li>\n 	<li>Bleeding and possible infection.</li>\n 	<li>Hair loss at the incision sites.&nbsp;</li>\n 	<li>Pain.</li>\n 	<li>Scarring.</li>\n 	<li>Numbness or changes in cutaneous sensitivity.</li>\n 	<li>Injury to the facial nerve.</li>\n 	<li>Hair loss at the incision areas may be temporary or permanent.</li>\n 	<li>Nerve Injury.</li>\n 	<li>Blood clots.</li>\n 	<li>Difficult wound healing.</li>\n 	<li>Long-term swelling.</li>\n 	<li>Irregular skin coloration.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h5><strong>Factors to Consider Before Opting for a Face-lift.&nbsp;</strong></h5>\nThere are other significant factors to consider before undergoing a facelift: such as,\n<ul>\n 	<li style="list-style-type: none;">\n<ul>\n 	<li>A facelift is not the elixir of youth. The effects of a facelift procedure usually last between seven to ten years. Then you continue to age normally. As stated earlier, it is not a permanent solution.</li>\n 	<li>Unless paired with facial reconstruction surgery, a Facelift will not make you more or less beautiful. Facelift operations will not significantly alter your overall look.</li>\n 	<li>Fluctuating weight: If you repeatedly gain and lose weight, the facelift may not be satisfactory or may last for just a limited period. This is because a fluctuating weight affects the shape of your face and skin condition.</li>\n 	<li>Facelifts do not address superficial wrinkles, sun damage, or skin color anomalies.</li>\n 	<li>Medications or supplements that thin the blood. Blood-thinning medications or supplements can impair your blood\'s capacity to clot, increasing your risk of developing hematomas after the surgical procedure. Blood thinners (Coumadin, Plavix, and others), aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs), ginseng, Ginkgo biloba, fish oil, and other supplements are among these pharmaceuticals. Hence, the need to have an honest discussion with your surgeon.</li>\n 	<li>Medical problems. You won\'t get a facelift if you have a medical problem that hinders blood clotting. Wound healing, hematomas, and heart problems are increased by other illnesses like poorly controlled diabetes or high blood pressure.</li>\n 	<li>Make sure you go to a board-certified surgeon if you decide to receive a facelift. As simple as the surgery might look, the effects are life-altering. Negatively; if done wrong.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<h5><strong>Questions to ask your plastic surgeon before having a facelift?</strong></h5>\n<strong>&nbsp;</strong>So you might be nervous about being too curious when visiting your surgeon for a consultation on having a facelift. This is normal, and don\'t worry. The surgeon is trained to answer your questions while easing your fears patiently. During your facelift consultation, you can use the following checklist to get you started:\n<ul>\n 	<li style="list-style-type: none;">\n<ul>\n 	<li>Are you a board-certified plastic surgeon?&nbsp;</li>\n 	<li>With which board are you certified?</li>\n 	<li>Are you a plastic surgeon who has received specialized training?</li>\n 	<li>How many years have you spent studying plastic surgery?</li>\n 	<li>Do you have permission to conduct this surgery in a hospital?

While nothing will stop the natural aging process, you should always engage in a healthy lifestyle. Make everyday choices to maintain the facelift while helping you appear years younger.\n\nSignificant weight changes can cause the skin to stretch out again, so maintaining a healthy, consistent weight is top on the ‘to do-list’. Whether or not you opt for a facelift, adopt a consistent morning and bedtime facial routine plus an overall skincare routine as suggested by your surgeon or dermatologists. This will keep your skin healthy and protected from premature aging.&nbsp;\n\nFacelift surgery is a safe and effective approach to rejuvenate the face when performed by a trained cosmetic surgeon. But, consultation with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon is the best and safest method to determine if a facelift is correct for you.&nbsp;', 'Facelift - Things You Should Know Before Procedure.', '', 'publish', 'open', 'closed', '', 'facelift-things-you-should-know-before-procedure', '', '', '2022-02-23 13:08:59', '2022-02-23 13:08:59', '', '0', 'https://damidols.com/?p=7166', '0', 'post', '', '0');

A large, well-rounded buttock is appealing to many women nowadays, and it alludes to health, youthfulness, and sexual attraction.

Regarding the optimal shape of a buttock, there are substantial racial variances. The round, square, \'V\' and the upside-down heart are prevalent buttock shapes. The upside-down heart is the most appealing, while the V shape, sometimes known as a frog\'s buttock, is the least desired and the most difficult to repair.</p><p>To choose from the wide range of butt solutions, you must first research the options, methods, risks, and recovery time involved before visiting a certified surgeon. Meeting the surgeon will give you a better understanding of your choice, make realistic expectations based on your physiology, create an optimal strategy, and then choose the best-fit approach. Understanding the diagnosis and choices available is key to achieving the desired look. </p><p>In this article, we will only look at the butt lift option.</p><h5><strong>What is the Butt Lift?</strong></h5><p>A buttock lift is a technique that improves the look of the buttocks through cosmetic surgery. It can shape the buttocks, groin, thighs, and abdomen as part of a tummy tuck (belt lipectomy) or lower body lift. A buttock lift by itself will not increase buttock volume. A buttock lift is occasionally paired with augmentation surgery to change the form or size of the buttocks using implants or fat grafts.</p><p>Excess skin and fat are removed from the buttocks during a buttock lift. The excess skin is then relocated to give a more toned appearance. A butt lift can be paired with fat transfers to generate greater projection and a better form for people who want more volume. Due to age or extreme weight reduction, it can substantially improve excess skin and fat in the gluteal region. Unlike a "<a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://damidols.com/brazilian-butt-lift-your-instant-butt-lift-solution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brazilian butt lift</a>," which uses fat transfer to increase volume, this surgery requires surgical excision and occasionally liposuction to remove skin and fat.</p><h5><strong>Should You Get a Buttock Lift?</strong></h5><p>Getting a butt lift is totally up to you. There is no hard or fast rule to getting one. However, if you are unhappy with how you look when you are naked or in clothes, then you might consider a butt lift if:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Your buttocks\' skin looks loose and sagging,</li><li>You\'ve just lost a lot of weight and are getting close to your desired weight or shape size.</li><li>You\'re self-conscious about your extra skin or if it\'s making you uncomfortable or causing mobility issues.</li></ul></li></ul><p>Not everyone is a good candidate for a buttock lift. If you have any of the following conditions, your doctor may advise against a buttock lift if you:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Have a serious chronic illness, such as diabetes or heart disease?</li><li>Intend to drop a substantial amount of weight.</li><li>Have a body mass index of more than 32.</li><li>Are you a tobacco user?</li><li>Have a mental health problem that isn\'t stable?</li></ul></li></ul><h5>How to Know You are a Suitable Candidate for a Buttock Lift?</h5><p>It is not advisable to undergo a butt lift on a whim and only do it if you have genuine concerns. Sagging skin and fat in the gluteal or, in this case, butt area may add heft to your physique and thwart your efforts to slim down and sculpt it even via exercise and diet. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may be an excellent candidate for a buttock lift if you:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Have had bariatric surgery or lost a large amount of weight.</li><li>Possess loose skin and cellulite on your buttocks due to pregnancy and/or age.</li><li>Have skin laxity, extra skin, and sagginess in the buttocks are all present.</li><li>Have a thin layer of fat under your skin.</li><li>Don\'t use tobacco. <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://damidols.com/smoking-and-surgery-good-or-bad-combination/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Smoking hinders</a> recovery and raises the risk of problems during and after surgery. If you smoke, you must abstain from doing so for at least four weeks before surgery.</li><li>Maintained your weight for at least a year, and no more weight reduction is projected. Butt lift should not be performed for at least two years after the commencement of any major weight-loss program for best outcomes.</li><li>Are in good health and don\'t have any chronic illnesses like diabetes or heart disease. Body sculpting operations are not recommended for those who are in bad health. Your primary care physician must permit you to get cosmetic surgery.</li><li>Eat a well-balanced diet. Protein deficits, for example, might obstruct recovery.</li><li>You are a suitable candidate for this operation if you are in good overall health and have a positive attitude and reasonable expectations.</li><li>Have a healthy weight yet want to see a significant change in the appearance of your lower body?</li><li>You\'re a healthy weight, yet your skin won\'t contract after liposuction owing to age elasticity.</li><li>Keep in mind that a buttock lift will not improve your skin condition.</li></ul></li></ul><h5><strong>Pros of Undergoing a Butt Lift.</strong></h5><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Your buttocks will appear smoother and more lifted, hence the name ‘butt lift’.</li><li>If done right, the effects will endure a long time.</li><li>Excess-dropping skin will be relieved of any pain or skin chafing.</li></ul></li></ul><h5><strong>Cons of Undergoing a Butt Lift.</strong></h5><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>It might take several months for you to recover fully.</li><li>Future infections are possible.</li><li>Future weight changes may have an impact on the outcome.</li><li>The operation may cause volume loss in the buttocks.</li></ul></li></ul><h5><strong>What is the process for a buttock lift?</strong></h5><p>There are a few distinct ways and approaches, but the following are the most common:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>To remove excess skin and bring the remaining skin taut, the surgeon will create an incision at the top of the buttocks, in the hips, and around the abdomen.</li><li>Liposuction is commonly utilized to provide a balanced look by contouring the buttocks or thighs.</li><li>To guarantee that the skin remains tight and scars are minimized, incisions are sutured and closed in layers.</li><li>Drains and dressings are frequently installed, and a compression garment or girdle is usually worn to help minimize swelling.</li></ul></li></ul><h5><strong>What are the Risks of a Butt Lift?</strong></h5><p>The following are some of the dangers associated with a buttock lift:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>A build-up of fluid beneath the skin (seroma). Drainage tubes that are left in place after surgery can help prevent seroma. Your doctor may use a needle and syringe to drain fluid following surgery.</li><li>Wound healing is poor. Areas along the incision line might sometimes heal poorly or separate if slightly strained. If you have a wound that isn\'t healing properly, you need to see your surgeon; you may be given antibiotics.</li><li>Scarring. The scars from a buttock lift are permanent, although they\'re usually hidden in places where they\'re not apparent.</li><li>Skin sensations loss or change. Repositioning your tissues after a buttock lift might damage your superficial sensory nerves. You\'ll probably experience numbness or a loss of feeling, which could go away after a few months. </li><li>Chronic and acute pain.</li><li>Adverse reaction to anesthesia.</li><li>Infection or bleeding.</li><li>Allergic reactions.</li><li>Damage to underlying structures.</li><li>Unsatisfactory results that may require additional procedures.</li></ul></li></ul><h5><strong>After a buttock lift, how long does it take to recover?</strong></h5><p>Buttock-lift surgery is a major procedure that takes two to three weeks to recuperate from before you can resume your usual activities. It might take up to six months for you to fully recover. It will speed up your recovery, enhance your outcomes, and reduce problems if you are in excellent health, don\'t smoke, and have adequate support following surgery.</p><p>Buttock lifts produce long-lasting results. Weight changes, pregnancy, and age, like with any operation, will impact the body and the effects of your gluteoplasty or butt lift. You may preserve a youthful contour for a long time if you engage in a healthy lifestyle and prevent major weight gain. Also, you must follow your doctor’s advice to the letter. Maintain a stable relationship with your surgeon to ensure they know how your recovery is progressing.</p><p>In the end, a buttock lift can give you a more toned appearance by removing extra skin and fat from your buttocks. The effects of a buttock lift are typically long-lasting. Keep in mind that keeping your weight constant is critical to preserving your results. However, suppose you find all of these processes to be too life-altering for your taste, not to worry.

It does not matter the age, social status, health status, or otherwise. The face is the first line of identification/recognition and a mirror for your own self-esteem/confidence. Hence, it is a delicate part of our physique in our subconscious. The skin on the face can deteriorate over time due to various factors. These factors include regular and long-term sun exposure, toxins in skin care products and makeup, air or environmental pollution, gravity, and age. </p><p>The skin around the face may begin to slacken, develop creases and wrinkles, and lose its luster. Today\'s market is flooded with products whose ‘claim to fame’ promises to minimize wrinkles, rejuvenate the skin, and improve the overall facial look. This may be true for some cases, but then, they could assist for a day, a week, or a few months, but none of them can replace a face lift\'s gorgeous new start with a longer-lasting promise. </p><p>Maybe you have tried these types of lotions, facials, and cosmetic treatments but are experiencing little to no results, and you are confused as to what to do next? If that was not enough pain, you tend to become self-conscious when people look at your face for too long. One popular quick-fix yet the more long-term option is a facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, to correct this uncomfortable situation. </p><p>Among the various cosmetic procedures carried out in the USA, <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5519425/#R2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">facelift surgery remains</a> one of the most common facial cosmetic operations performed. It was the seventh most popular kind of cosmetic surgery among men. Yes, even the men are not left out in the fray for a firmer youthful face. In the United States in 2016, it was reported that <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.surgery.org/sites/default/files/ASAPS-Stats2016.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">13,702 men and 107,261 women</a> underwent facelift surgery.</p><p>Aging, sickness, drugs, weight loss could cause your facial skin to lose its suppleness. We all agree that sagging or loose skin around the jawline or neck can be pretty uncomfortable, especially when you look at your reflection in the mirror. Depending on your aspirations, a facelift procedure or rhytidectomy might be the best option to achieve your cosmetic objectives. This surgical operation removes extra fat/flesh from the face, tightens the facial muscles, and gives the face a more youthful look. It is not a permanent fix, but it beats most alternatives. </p><p>Let\'s dive into what it is and other facts to help you decide if you are a perfect fit for the surgery.</p><h5><strong>What is a Facelift?</strong></h5><p>As stated above, a facelift (also known as rhytidectomy) is an aesthetic surgical operation that can help with your looks. Sagging, folds of skin, and contour of your face that occur with age, can be reduced with this surgery. A facelift involves pulling back a flap of skin on either side of the face and surgically altering the tissues beneath the skin to restore the face\'s curvature towards a more youthful form.</p><p>This surgery can erase deep creases around the forehead, mouth, nose, excess drooping skin and fat just underneath the jawline and in the neck. The procedure can also tighten underlying tissues and be combined with other surgical procedures to enhance the look of the forehead, cheeks, brows, and eyelids, depending on the need.</p><h5><strong>Who Needs a Facelift?</strong></h5><p>Due to natural age-related changes, effects of long time use of makeups, cosmetic, prolonged sun exposure, weight loss, sickness etc., the look and shape of your face might experience a few changes. Any one of these conditions may cause fat deposits to decrease in some areas of your face as your skin becomes less elastic and loose. The following are age-related changes in your face that may be minimized with a facelift:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Your cheeks have started to sag.</li><li>Excessive skin around the lower jawline (jowls)</li><li>The skin fold from the side of your nose to the corner of your lips deepens.</li><li>Neck skin that has sagged and fat that has accumulated (if the procedure includes a neck lift)</li></ul></li></ul><p>Other candidates for facelifts include:</p><p>Healthy non-smokers or drug abusers with no medical issues that could compromise their healing process. Remember <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://damidols.com/smoking-and-surgery-good-or-bad-combination/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">smoking before surgery</a> can have dire consequences. Don’t test fate on this!</p><p>For age-related facelifts, let’s look at the best-suggested age range for facelift surgery and briefly at the various facelift options available to you.</p><h5><strong>When Is the Best Time to Get a Facelift?</strong></h5><p>Getting a facelift is a highly individual choice. Quite frankly, you should start with an honest discussion with your board-certified plastic surgeon. That said, a facelift is most effective for persons in their 40s, 50s, and above when indications of aging begin to appear. Deep lines, wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin are signs of aging. They are best treated surgically rather than non-surgically. </p><p>However, there is no set age for facelift surgery; everyone ages at a different rate due to several variables. When aging begins, and non-surgical therapies like neuromodulators, fillers, and skin resurfacing therapies no longer deliver the results you want, you should consider a facelift.</p><p><strong>Pro Tip</strong>: Remember that ad, “not for persons under age…” well, anyone under the age of 30 with no facial issues or diseases should avoid getting a facelift. Under 30’s should consider adopting a healthier, more sustainable face and health routine. This will help slow down the signs of aging.</p><h5><strong>Types of Face-Lifts</strong></h5><p>Dependent on your goals, a few different types of facelifts may be a better fit for you. However, this will be determined by your plastic surgeon or medical consultant. According to plastic surgeon <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.drkooskincare.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michele Koo, MD, FACS</a>, double board-certified and the founder of Private Practice Skincare, there are numerous types of facelifts. </p><p><strong>Mini-Facelift:</strong> The mini facelift is a simplified facelift that tackles sagging skin around the neck and jawline.</p><p><strong>Mid-facelift:</strong> Often known as a cheek lift. It focuses on correcting sagging skin from the upper mouth to the eyes, and the cheeks and nose are included in this area.</p><p><strong>Non-surgical facelifts:</strong> This doesn\'t involve general anesthesia or big incisions, but they address aging signs, including drooping or sagging skin, creases, and wrinkles. Non-surgical techniques that target the skin of the face include vampire facelifts, liquid facelifts, and thread lifts.</p><h5><strong>Benefits of Face-Lifts.</strong></h5><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Facelifts are one-step procedures that address a variety of signs of aging.</li><li>Facelift procedures can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to achieve the best results.</li><li>The fastest way to help you get rid of a double chin.</li><li>A natural-looking new, younger you.</li><li>Your jowls (lower or drooping jawline) can be removed with a facelift.</li><li>Facial skin that has become sagging will be tightened.</li><li>Facelifts, if correctly done, give surgical scars that aren\'t visible</li><li>Facelifts help drastic reduction in the visibility of deep wrinkles</li><li>Facelifts aren\'t gender-specific, and men can also have a facelift.</li></ul></li></ul><h5><strong>Facelift Risks and Side Effects.</strong></h5><p>As with all medical procedures, e.g., <a href="https://damidols.com/liposuction-how-shapewear-can-help-you-heal-faster/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">liposuction</a>, <a href="https://damidols.com/buttock-lift-surgery-heres-what-you-need-to-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">butt-lifts</a>, <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://damidols.com/tummy-tuck-processes-risks-and-all-you-should-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abdominoplasty</a>, etc., facelifts also have risks. The following are some of the dangers:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>dangers of anesthesia.</li><li>Bleeding and possible infection.</li><li>Hair loss at the incision sites. </li><li>Pain.</li><li>Scarring.</li><li>Numbness or changes in cutaneous sensitivity.</li><li>Injury to the facial nerve.</li><li>Hair loss at the incision areas may be temporary or permanent.</li><li>Nerve Injury.</li><li>Blood clots.</li><li>Difficult wound healing.</li><li>Long-term swelling.</li><li>Irregular skin coloration.</li></ul></li></ul><h5><strong>Factors to Consider Before Opting for a Face-lift. </strong></h5><p>There are other significant factors to consider before undergoing a facelift: such as,</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>A facelift is not the elixir of youth. The effects of a facelift procedure usually last between seven to ten years. Then you continue to age normally. As stated earlier, it is not a permanent solution.</li><li>Unless paired with facial reconstruction surgery, a Facelift will not make you more or less beautiful. Facelift operations will not significantly alter your overall look.</li><li>Fluctuating weight: If you repeatedly gain and lose weight, the facelift may not be satisfactory or may last for just a limited period. This is because a fluctuating weight affects the shape of your face and skin condition.</li><li>Facelifts do not address superficial wrinkles, sun damage, or skin color anomalies.</li><li>Medications or supplements that thin the blood. Blood-thinning medications or supplements can impair your blood\'s capacity to clot, increasing your risk of developing hematomas after the surgical procedure. Blood thinners (Coumadin, Plavix, and others), aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs), ginseng, Ginkgo biloba, fish oil, and other supplements are among these pharmaceuticals. Hence, the need to have an honest discussion with your surgeon.</li><li>Medical problems. You won\'t get a facelift if you have a medical problem that hinders blood clotting. Wound healing, hematomas, and heart problems are increased by other illnesses like poorly controlled diabetes or high blood pressure.</li><li>Make sure you go to a board-certified surgeon if you decide to receive a facelift. As simple as the surgery might look, the effects are life-altering. Negatively; if done wrong.</li></ul></li></ul><h5><strong>Questions to ask your plastic surgeon before having a facelift?</strong></h5><p><strong> </strong>So you might be nervous about being too curious when visiting your surgeon for a consultation on having a facelift. This is normal, and don\'t worry. The surgeon is trained to answer your questions while easing your fears patiently. During your facelift consultation, you can use the following checklist to get you started:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Are you a board-certified plastic surgeon? </li><li>With which board are you certified?</li><li>Are you a plastic surgeon who has received specialized training?</li><li>How many years have you spent studying plastic surgery?</li><li>Do you have permission to conduct this surgery in a hospital?

Sagging, folds of skin, and contour of your face that occur with age, can be reduced with this surgery. A facelift involves pulling back a flap of skin on either side of the face and surgically altering the tissues beneath the skin to restore the face\'s curvature towards a more youthful form.</p><p>This surgery can erase deep creases around the forehead, mouth, nose, excess drooping skin and fat just underneath the jawline and in the neck. The procedure can also tighten underlying tissues and be combined with other surgical procedures to enhance the look of the forehead, cheeks, brows, and eyelids, depending on the need.</p><h5><strong>Who Needs a Facelift?</strong></h5><p>Due to natural age-related changes, effects of long time use of makeups, cosmetic, prolonged sun exposure, weight loss, sickness etc., the look and shape of your face might experience a few changes. Any one of these conditions may cause fat deposits to decrease in some areas of your face as your skin becomes less elastic and loose. The following are age-related changes in your face that may be minimized with a facelift:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Your cheeks have started to sag.</li><li>Excessive skin around the lower jawline (jowls)</li><li>The skin fold from the side of your nose to the corner of your lips deepens.</li><li>Neck skin that has sagged and fat that has accumulated (if the procedure includes a neck lift)</li></ul></li></ul><p>Other candidates for facelifts include:</p><p>Healthy non-smokers or drug abusers with no medical issues that could compromise their healing process. Remember <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://damidols.com/smoking-and-surgery-good-or-bad-combination/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">smoking before surgery</a> can have dire consequences. Don’t test fate on this!</p><p>For age-related facelifts, let’s look at the best-suggested age range for facelift surgery and briefly at the various facelift options available to you.</p><h5><strong>When Is the Best Time to Get a Facelift?</strong></h5><p>Getting a facelift is a highly individual choice. Quite frankly, you should start with an honest discussion with your board-certified plastic surgeon. That said, a facelift is most effective for persons in their 40s, 50s, and above when indications of aging begin to appear. Deep lines, wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin are signs of aging. They are best treated surgically rather than non-surgically. </p><p>However, there is no set age for facelift surgery; everyone ages at a different rate due to several variables. When aging begins, and non-surgical therapies like neuromodulators, fillers, and skin resurfacing therapies no longer deliver the results you want, you should consider a facelift.</p><p><strong>Pro Tip</strong>: Remember that ad, “not for persons under age…” well, anyone under the age of 30 with no facial issues or diseases should avoid getting a facelift. Under 30’s should consider adopting a healthier, more sustainable face and health routine. This will help slow down the signs of aging.</p><h5><strong>Types of Face-Lifts</strong></h5><p>Dependent on your goals, a few different types of facelifts may be a better fit for you. However, this will be determined by your plastic surgeon or medical consultant. According to plastic surgeon <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.drkooskincare.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michele Koo, MD, FACS</a>, double board-certified and the founder of Private Practice Skincare, there are numerous types of facelifts. </p><p><strong>Mini-Facelift:</strong> The mini facelift is a simplified facelift that tackles sagging skin around the neck and jawline.</p><p><strong>Mid-facelift:</strong> Often known as a cheek lift. It focuses on correcting sagging skin from the upper mouth to the eyes, and the cheeks and nose are included in this area.</p><p><strong>Non-surgical facelifts:</strong> This doesn\'t involve general anesthesia or big incisions, but they address aging signs, including drooping or sagging skin, creases, and wrinkles. Non-surgical techniques that target the skin of the face include vampire facelifts, liquid facelifts, and thread lifts.</p><h5><strong>Benefits of Face-Lifts.</strong></h5><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Facelifts are one-step procedures that address a variety of signs of aging.</li><li>Facelift procedures can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to achieve the best results.</li><li>The fastest way to help you get rid of a double chin.</li><li>A natural-looking new, younger you.</li><li>Your jowls (lower or drooping jawline) can be removed with a facelift.</li><li>Facial skin that has become sagging will be tightened.</li><li>Facelifts, if correctly done, give surgical scars that aren\'t visible</li><li>Facelifts help drastic reduction in the visibility of deep wrinkles</li><li>Facelifts aren\'t gender-specific, and men can also have a facelift.</li></ul></li></ul><h5><strong>Facelift Risks and Side Effects.</strong></h5><p>As with all medical procedures, e.g., <a href="https://damidols.com/liposuction-how-shapewear-can-help-you-heal-faster/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">liposuction</a>, <a href="https://damidols.com/buttock-lift-surgery-heres-what-you-need-to-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">butt-lifts</a>, <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://damidols.com/tummy-tuck-processes-risks-and-all-you-should-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abdominoplasty</a>, etc., facelifts also have risks. The following are some of the dangers:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>dangers of anesthesia.</li><li>Bleeding and possible infection.</li><li>Hair loss at the incision sites. </li><li>Pain.</li><li>Scarring.</li><li>Numbness or changes in cutaneous sensitivity.</li><li>Injury to the facial nerve.</li><li>Hair loss at the incision areas may be temporary or permanent.</li><li>Nerve Injury.</li><li>Blood clots.</li><li>Difficult wound healing.</li><li>Long-term swelling.</li><li>Irregular skin coloration.</li></ul></li></ul><h5><strong>Factors to Consider Before Opting for a Face-lift. </strong></h5><p>There are other significant factors to consider before undergoing a facelift: such as,</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>A facelift is not the elixir of youth. The effects of a facelift procedure usually last between seven to ten years. Then you continue to age normally. As stated earlier, it is not a permanent solution.</li><li>Unless paired with facial reconstruction surgery, a Facelift will not make you more or less beautiful. Facelift operations will not significantly alter your overall look.</li><li>Fluctuating weight: If you repeatedly gain and lose weight, the facelift may not be satisfactory or may last for just a limited period. This is because a fluctuating weight affects the shape of your face and skin condition.</li><li>Facelifts do not address superficial wrinkles, sun damage, or skin color anomalies.</li><li>Medications or supplements that thin the blood. Blood-thinning medications or supplements can impair your blood\'s capacity to clot, increasing your risk of developing hematomas after the surgical procedure. Blood thinners (Coumadin, Plavix, and others), aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs), ginseng, Ginkgo biloba, fish oil, and other supplements are among these pharmaceuticals. Hence, the need to have an honest discussion with your surgeon.</li><li>Medical problems. You won\'t get a facelift if you have a medical problem that hinders blood clotting. Wound healing, hematomas, and heart problems are increased by other illnesses like poorly controlled diabetes or high blood pressure.</li><li>Make sure you go to a board-certified surgeon if you decide to receive a facelift. As simple as the surgery might look, the effects are life-altering. Negatively; if done wrong.</li></ul></li></ul><h5><strong>Questions to ask your plastic surgeon before having a facelift?</strong></h5><p><strong> </strong>So you might be nervous about being too curious when visiting your surgeon for a consultation on having a facelift. This is normal, and don\'t worry. The surgeon is trained to answer your questions while easing your fears patiently. During your facelift consultation, you can use the following checklist to get you started:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Are you a board-certified plastic surgeon? </li><li>With which board are you certified?</li><li>Are you a plastic surgeon who has received specialized training?</li><li>How many years have you spent studying plastic surgery?</li><li>Do you have permission to conduct this surgery in a hospital?

Sagging, folds of skin, and contour of your face that occur with age, can be reduced with this surgery. A facelift involves pulling back a flap of skin on either side of the face and surgically altering the tissues beneath the skin to restore the face\'s curvature towards a more youthful form.</p><p>This surgery can erase deep creases around the forehead, mouth, nose, excess drooping skin and fat just underneath the jawline and in the neck. The procedure can also tighten underlying tissues and be combined with other surgical procedures to enhance the look of the forehead, cheeks, brows, and eyelids, depending on the need.</p><h5><strong>Who Needs a Facelift?</strong></h5><p>Due to natural age-related changes, effects of long time use of makeups, cosmetic, prolonged sun exposure, weight loss, sickness etc., the look and shape of your face might experience a few changes. Any one of these conditions may cause fat deposits to decrease in some areas of your face as your skin becomes less elastic and loose.

Quite frankly, you should start with an honest discussion with your board-certified plastic surgeon. That said, a facelift is most effective for persons in their 40s, 50s, and above when indications of aging begin to appear. Deep lines, wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin are signs of aging. They are best treated surgically rather than non-surgically. </p><p>However, there is no set age for facelift surgery; everyone ages at a different rate due to several variables. When aging begins, and non-surgical therapies like neuromodulators, fillers, and skin resurfacing therapies no longer deliver the results you want, you should consider a facelift.</p><p><strong>Pro Tip</strong>: Remember that ad, “not for persons under age…” well, anyone under the age of 30 with no facial issues or diseases should avoid getting a facelift. Under 30’s should consider adopting a healthier, more sustainable face and health routine. This will help slow down the signs of aging.</p><h5><strong>Types of Face-Lifts</strong></h5><p>Dependent on your goals, a few different types of facelifts may be a better fit for you. However, this will be determined by your plastic surgeon or medical consultant. According to plastic surgeon <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.drkooskincare.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michele Koo, MD, FACS</a>, double board-certified and the founder of Private Practice Skincare, there are numerous types of facelifts. </p><p><strong>Mini-Facelift:</strong> The mini facelift is a simplified facelift that tackles sagging skin around the neck and jawline.</p><p><strong>Mid-facelift:</strong> Often known as a cheek lift. It focuses on correcting sagging skin from the upper mouth to the eyes, and the cheeks and nose are included in this area.</p><p><strong>Non-surgical facelifts:</strong> This doesn\'t involve general anesthesia or big incisions, but they address aging signs, including drooping or sagging skin, creases, and wrinkles. Non-surgical techniques that target the skin of the face include vampire facelifts, liquid facelifts, and thread lifts.</p><h5><strong>Benefits of Face-Lifts.</strong></h5><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Facelifts are one-step procedures that address a variety of signs of aging.</li><li>Facelift procedures can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to achieve the best results.</li><li>The fastest way to help you get rid of a double chin.</li><li>A natural-looking new, younger you.</li><li>Your jowls (lower or drooping jawline) can be removed with a facelift.</li><li>Facial skin that has become sagging will be tightened.</li><li>Facelifts, if correctly done, give surgical scars that aren\'t visible</li><li>Facelifts help drastic reduction in the visibility of deep wrinkles</li><li>Facelifts aren\'t gender-specific, and men can also have a facelift.</li></ul></li></ul><h5><strong>Facelift Risks and Side Effects.</strong></h5><p>As with all medical procedures, e.g., <a href="https://damidols.com/liposuction-how-shapewear-can-help-you-heal-faster/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">liposuction</a>, <a href="https://damidols.com/buttock-lift-surgery-heres-what-you-need-to-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">butt-lifts</a>, <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://damidols.com/tummy-tuck-processes-risks-and-all-you-should-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abdominoplasty</a>, etc., facelifts also have risks.

The effects of a facelift procedure usually last between seven to ten years. Then you continue to age normally.

Facelift operations will not significantly alter your overall look.</li><li>Fluctuating weight: If you repeatedly gain and lose weight, the facelift may not be satisfactory or may last for just a limited period. This is because a fluctuating weight affects the shape of your face and skin condition.</li><li>Facelifts do not address superficial wrinkles, sun damage, or skin color anomalies.</li><li>Medications or supplements that thin the blood. Blood-thinning medications or supplements can impair your blood\'s capacity to clot, increasing your risk of developing hematomas after the surgical procedure. Blood thinners (Coumadin, Plavix, and others), aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs), ginseng, Ginkgo biloba, fish oil, and other supplements are among these pharmaceuticals. Hence, the need to have an honest discussion with your surgeon.</li><li>Medical problems. You won\'t get a facelift if you have a medical problem that hinders blood clotting. Wound healing, hematomas, and heart problems are increased by other illnesses like poorly controlled diabetes or high blood pressure.</li><li>Make sure you go to a board-certified surgeon if you decide to receive a facelift. As simple as the surgery might look, the effects are life-altering. Negatively; if done wrong.</li></ul></li></ul><h5><strong>Questions to ask your plastic surgeon before having a facelift?</strong></h5><p><strong> </strong>So you might be nervous about being too curious when visiting your surgeon for a consultation on having a facelift. This is normal, and don\'t worry. The surgeon is trained to answer your questions while easing your fears patiently.

Sagging, folds of skin, and contour of your face that occur with age, can be reduced with this surgery. A facelift involves pulling back a flap of skin on either side of the face and surgically altering the tissues beneath the skin to restore the face\'s curvature towards a more youthful form.</p><p>This surgery can erase deep creases around the forehead, mouth, nose, excess drooping skin and fat just underneath the jawline and in the neck. The procedure can also tighten underlying tissues and be combined with other surgical procedures to enhance the look of the forehead, cheeks, brows, and eyelids, depending on the need.</p><h5><strong>Who Needs a Facelift?</strong></h5><p>Due to natural age-related changes, effects of long time use of makeups, cosmetic, prolonged sun exposure, weight loss, sickness etc., the look and shape of your face might experience a few changes. Any one of these conditions may cause fat deposits to decrease in some areas of your face as your skin becomes less elastic and loose. The following are age-related changes in your face that may be minimized with a facelift:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Your cheeks have started to sag.</li><li>Excessive skin around the lower jawline (jowls)</li><li>The skin fold from the side of your nose to the corner of your lips deepens.</li><li>Neck skin that has sagged and fat that has accumulated (if the procedure includes a neck lift)</li></ul></li></ul><p>Other candidates for facelifts include:</p><p>Healthy non-smokers or drug abusers with no medical issues that could compromise their healing process.

Quite frankly, you should start with an honest discussion with your board-certified plastic surgeon. That said, a facelift is most effective for persons in their 40s, 50s, and above when indications of aging begin to appear. Deep lines, wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin are signs of aging. They are best treated surgically rather than non-surgically. </p><p>However, there is no set age for facelift surgery; everyone ages at a different rate due to several variables. When aging begins, and non-surgical therapies like neuromodulators, fillers, and skin resurfacing therapies no longer deliver the results you want, you should consider a facelift.</p><p><strong>Pro Tip</strong>: Remember that ad, “not for persons under age…” well, anyone under the age of 30 with no facial issues or diseases should avoid getting a facelift. Under 30’s should consider adopting a healthier, more sustainable face and health routine. This will help slow down the signs of aging.</p><h5><strong>Types of Face-Lifts</strong></h5><p>Dependent on your goals, a few different types of facelifts may be a better fit for you. However, this will be determined by your plastic surgeon or medical consultant. According to plastic surgeon <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.drkooskincare.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michele Koo, MD, FACS</a>, double board-certified and the founder of Private Practice Skincare, there are numerous types of facelifts. </p><p><strong>Mini-Facelift:</strong> The mini facelift is a simplified facelift that tackles sagging skin around the neck and jawline.</p><p><strong>Mid-facelift:</strong> Often known as a cheek lift. It focuses on correcting sagging skin from the upper mouth to the eyes, and the cheeks and nose are included in this area.</p><p><strong>Non-surgical facelifts:</strong> This doesn\'t involve general anesthesia or big incisions, but they address aging signs, including drooping or sagging skin, creases, and wrinkles. Non-surgical techniques that target the skin of the face include vampire facelifts, liquid facelifts, and thread lifts.</p><h5><strong>Benefits of Face-Lifts.</strong></h5><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Facelifts are one-step procedures that address a variety of signs of aging.</li><li>Facelift procedures can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to achieve the best results.</li><li>The fastest way to help you get rid of a double chin.</li><li>A natural-looking new, younger you.</li><li>Your jowls (lower or drooping jawline) can be removed with a facelift.</li><li>Facial skin that has become sagging will be tightened.</li><li>Facelifts, if correctly done, give surgical scars that aren\'t visible</li><li>Facelifts help drastic reduction in the visibility of deep wrinkles</li><li>Facelifts aren\'t gender-specific, and men can also have a facelift.</li></ul></li></ul><h5><strong>Facelift Risks and Side Effects.</strong></h5><p>As with all medical procedures, e.g., <a href="https://damidols.com/liposuction-how-shapewear-can-help-you-heal-faster/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">liposuction</a>, <a href="https://damidols.com/buttock-lift-surgery-heres-what-you-need-to-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">butt-lifts</a>, <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://damidols.com/tummy-tuck-processes-risks-and-all-you-should-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abdominoplasty</a>, etc., facelifts also have risks.

The effects of a facelift procedure usually last between seven to ten years. Then you continue to age normally.

Facelift operations will not significantly alter your overall look.</li><li>Fluctuating weight: If you repeatedly gain and lose weight, the facelift may not be satisfactory or may last for just a limited period. This is because a fluctuating weight affects the shape of your face and skin condition.</li><li>Facelifts do not address superficial wrinkles, sun damage, or skin color anomalies.</li><li>Medications or supplements that thin the blood. Blood-thinning medications or supplements can impair your blood\'s capacity to clot, increasing your risk of developing hematomas after the surgical procedure. Blood thinners (Coumadin, Plavix, and others), aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs), ginseng, Ginkgo biloba, fish oil, and other supplements are among these pharmaceuticals. Hence, the need to have an honest discussion with your surgeon.</li><li>Medical problems. You won\'t get a facelift if you have a medical problem that hinders blood clotting. Wound healing, hematomas, and heart problems are increased by other illnesses like poorly controlled diabetes or high blood pressure.</li><li>Make sure you go to a board-certified surgeon if you decide to receive a facelift. As simple as the surgery might look, the effects are life-altering. Negatively; if done wrong.</li></ul></li></ul><h5><strong>Questions to ask your plastic surgeon before having a facelift?</strong></h5><p><strong> </strong>So you might be nervous about being too curious when visiting your surgeon for a consultation on having a facelift. This is normal, and don\'t worry. The surgeon is trained to answer your questions while easing your fears patiently. During your facelift consultation, you can use the following checklist to get you started:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Are you a board-certified plastic surgeon? </li><li>With which board are you certified?</li><li>Are you a plastic surgeon who has received specialized training?</li><li>How many years have you spent studying plastic surgery?</li><li>Do you have permission to conduct this surgery in a hospital? If so, which hospitals are you talking about?</li><li>Is the office-based in a surgical facility accredited, licensed, or certified by a nationally or state-recognized accrediting agency?</li><li>How long would it take me to recuperate, and what type of assistance will I require during that time?</li><li>What are the dangers and potential problems of a facelift?</li><li>What are the procedures for dealing with complications?</li><li>What can I expect my face to look like in the future?</li><li>What choices do I have if I\'m unhappy with the cosmetic results of my facelift?</li><li>Do you have any before-and-after images for this operation that I may look at to see what kind of outcomes I should expect?</li><li>Is this a technique that I would be a suitable candidate for?</li><li>What would be needed of me to get the best results?</li><li>What will you do with my operation, and where will you do it?</li><li>What is the best surgical approach for me?</li></ul></li></ul><p>In summary a facelift, when performed by a skilled, board-certified cosmetic surgeon, may produce results that not only appear natural immediately but will also age gracefully with you. While nothing will stop the natural aging process, you should always engage in a healthy lifestyle. Make everyday choices to maintain the facelift while helping you appear years younger.</p><p>Significant weight changes can cause the skin to stretch out again, so maintaining a healthy, consistent weight is top on the ‘to do-list’. Whether or not you opt for a facelift, adopt a consistent morning and bedtime facial routine plus an overall skincare routine as suggested by your surgeon or dermatologists.

Sagging, folds of skin, and contour of your face that occur with age, can be reduced with this surgery. A facelift involves pulling back a flap of skin on either side of the face and surgically altering the tissues beneath the skin to restore the face\'s curvature towards a more youthful form.</p><p>This surgery can erase deep creases around the forehead, mouth, nose, excess drooping skin and fat just underneath the jawline and in the neck. The procedure can also tighten underlying tissues and be combined with other surgical procedures to enhance the look of the forehead, cheeks, brows, and eyelids, depending on the need.</p><h5><strong>Who Needs a Facelift?</strong></h5><p>Due to natural age-related changes, effects of long time use of makeups, cosmetic, prolonged sun exposure, weight loss, sickness etc., the look and shape of your face might experience a few changes. Any one of these conditions may cause fat deposits to decrease in some areas of your face as your skin becomes less elastic and loose. The following are age-related changes in your face that may be minimized with a facelift:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Your cheeks have started to sag.</li><li>Excessive skin around the lower jawline (jowls)</li><li>The skin fold from the side of your nose to the corner of your lips deepens.</li><li>Neck skin that has sagged and fat that has accumulated (if the procedure includes a neck lift)</li></ul></li></ul><p>Other candidates for facelifts include:</p><p>Healthy non-smokers or drug abusers with no medical issues that could compromise their healing process.

Don’t test fate on this!</p><p>For age-related facelifts, let’s look at the best-suggested age range for facelift surgery and briefly at the various facelift options available to you.</p><h5><strong>When Is the Best Time to Get a Facelift?</strong></h5><p>Getting a facelift is a highly individual choice. Quite frankly, you should start with an honest discussion with your board-certified plastic surgeon. That said, a facelift is most effective for persons in their 40s, 50s, and above when indications of aging begin to appear. Deep lines, wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin are signs of aging. They are best treated surgically rather than non-surgically. </p><p>However, there is no set age for facelift surgery; everyone ages at a different rate due to several variables. When aging begins, and non-surgical therapies like neuromodulators, fillers, and skin resurfacing therapies no longer deliver the results you want, you should consider a facelift.</p><p><strong>Pro Tip</strong>: Remember that ad, “not for persons under age…” well, anyone under the age of 30 with no facial issues or diseases should avoid getting a facelift. Under 30’s should consider adopting a healthier, more sustainable face and health routine. This will help slow down the signs of aging.</p><h5><strong>Types of Face-Lifts</strong></h5><p>Dependent on your goals, a few different types of facelifts may be a better fit for you. However, this will be determined by your plastic surgeon or medical consultant. According to plastic surgeon <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.drkooskincare.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michele Koo, MD, FACS</a>, double board-certified and the founder of Private Practice Skincare, there are numerous types of facelifts. </p><p><strong>Mini-Facelift:</strong> The mini facelift is a simplified facelift that tackles sagging skin around the neck and jawline.</p><p><strong>Mid-facelift:</strong> Often known as a cheek lift. It focuses on correcting sagging skin from the upper mouth to the eyes, and the cheeks and nose are included in this area.</p><p><strong>Non-surgical facelifts:</strong> This doesn\'t involve general anesthesia or big incisions, but they address aging signs, including drooping or sagging skin, creases, and wrinkles. Non-surgical techniques that target the skin of the face include vampire facelifts, liquid facelifts, and thread lifts.</p><h5><strong>Benefits of Face-Lifts.</strong></h5><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Facelifts are one-step procedures that address a variety of signs of aging.</li><li>Facelift procedures can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to achieve the best results.</li><li>The fastest way to help you get rid of a double chin.</li><li>A natural-looking new, younger you.</li><li>Your jowls (lower or drooping jawline) can be removed with a facelift.</li><li>Facial skin that has become sagging will be tightened.</li><li>Facelifts, if correctly done, give surgical scars that aren\'t visible</li><li>Facelifts help drastic reduction in the visibility of deep wrinkles</li><li>Facelifts aren\'t gender-specific, and men can also have a facelift.</li></ul></li></ul><h5><strong>Facelift Risks and Side Effects.</strong></h5><p>As with all medical procedures, e.g., <a href="https://damidols.com/liposuction-how-shapewear-can-help-you-heal-faster/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">liposuction</a>, <a href="https://damidols.com/buttock-lift-surgery-heres-what-you-need-to-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">butt-lifts</a>, <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://damidols.com/tummy-tuck-processes-risks-and-all-you-should-know/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abdominoplasty</a>, etc., facelifts also have risks.

The effects of a facelift procedure usually last between seven to ten years. Then you continue to age normally.

Facelift operations will not significantly alter your overall look.</li><li>Fluctuating weight: If you repeatedly gain and lose weight, the facelift may not be satisfactory or may last for just a limited period. This is because a fluctuating weight affects the shape of your face and skin condition.</li><li>Facelifts do not address superficial wrinkles, sun damage, or skin color anomalies.</li><li>Medications or supplements that thin the blood. Blood-thinning medications or supplements can impair your blood\'s capacity to clot, increasing your risk of developing hematomas after the surgical procedure. Blood thinners (Coumadin, Plavix, and others), aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs), ginseng, Ginkgo biloba, fish oil, and other supplements are among these pharmaceuticals. Hence, the need to have an honest discussion with your surgeon.</li><li>Medical problems. You won\'t get a facelift if you have a medical problem that hinders blood clotting. Wound healing, hematomas, and heart problems are increased by other illnesses like poorly controlled diabetes or high blood pressure.</li><li>Make sure you go to a board-certified surgeon if you decide to receive a facelift. As simple as the surgery might look, the effects are life-altering. Negatively; if done wrong.</li></ul></li></ul><h5><strong>Questions to ask your plastic surgeon before having a facelift?</strong></h5><p><strong> </strong>So you might be nervous about being too curious when visiting your surgeon for a consultation on having a facelift. This is normal, and don\'t worry. The surgeon is trained to answer your questions while easing your fears patiently. During your facelift consultation, you can use the following checklist to get you started:</p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li>Are you a board-certified plastic surgeon? </li><li>With which board are you certified?</li><li>Are you a plastic surgeon who has received specialized training?</li><li>How many years have you spent studying plastic surgery?</li><li>Do you have permission to conduct this surgery in a hospital? If so, which hospitals are you talking about?</li><li>Is the office-based in a surgical facility accredited, licensed, or certified by a nationally or state-recognized accrediting agency?</li><li>How long would it take me to recuperate, and what type of assistance will I require during that time?</li><li>What are the dangers and potential problems of a facelift?</li><li>What are the procedures for dealing with complications?</li><li>What can I expect my face to look like in the future?</li><li>What choices do I have if I\'m unhappy with the cosmetic results of my facelift?</li><li>Do you have any before-and-after images for this operation that I may look at to see what kind of outcomes I should expect?</li><li>Is this a technique that I would be a suitable candidate for?</li><li>What would be needed of me to get the best results?</li><li>What will you do with my operation, and where will you do it?</li><li>What is the best surgical approach for me?</li></ul></li></ul><p>In summary a facelift, when performed by a skilled, board-certified cosmetic surgeon, may produce results that not only appear natural immediately but will also age gracefully with you. While nothing will stop the natural aging process, you should always engage in a healthy lifestyle. Make everyday choices to maintain the facelift while helping you appear years younger.</p><p>Significant weight changes can cause the skin to stretch out again, so maintaining a healthy, consistent weight is top on the ‘to do-list’. Whether or not you opt for a facelift, adopt a consistent morning and bedtime facial routine plus an overall skincare routine as suggested by your surgeon or dermatologists. This will keep your skin healthy and protected from premature aging. </p><p>Facelift surgery is a safe and effective approach to rejuvenate the face when performed by a trained cosmetic surgeon.
