Facial Sagging Surgery: What You Need to Know

Facial Sagging Surgery addresses the displacement of the superficial musculotendinous system (SMAS) and deep fat compartments in the face caused by collagen loss and elastic fiber breakdown. Depending on the degree of facial laxity and tissue characteristics, multiple means are used to solve the problems of facial tissue bloating, depression, collapse, etc., so that the facial tissues are misplaced and fixed, reducing artificial traces and realizing the natural beauty of the facial shape.

Facial Sagging Surgery focuses on improving aging and sagging facial features by restoring the position of sagging facial tissues. Common facial sagging problems include:

● Deepening of the lines: as the malar muscle sags, the lines become more pronounced and interfere with facial expressions.

● Sagging of the jawline: the jawline becomes undefined and a double chin may appear, affecting the overall feel of the facial contours.

● Cheek sagging: the soft tissues in the middle of the face sag, causing the face to become sunken and weak.

● Eye sagging: loose eyelids that affect vision and overall facial demeanour.

Modern facial sagging surgery goes beyond skin tightening by separating, lifting and resetting the deeper tissues of the face (e.g. the SMAS layer) to achieve a more natural and long-lasting result.

After consulting with your surgeon and agreeing to undergo surgery, preparation for facial ptosis surgery includes:

● Stop smoking before surgery: smoking interferes with blood flow and slows wound healing.

● Stop taking aspirin or any medication that interferes with blood clotting: reduces the risk of post-operative bleeding.

● Physical examination and medical history: for the safety of anaesthesia, patients are required to undergo a thorough physical examination, where the anaesthetist and surgeon will assess the feasibility of the procedure.

● Facial examination and facial profile analysis: the surgeon will analyse the patient's facial base to determine the degree of sagging and the most suitable surgical option.

● Confirmation of Expectations: The patient should fully communicate with the surgeon to have clear expectations of the results and understand the role and limitations of facial ptosis surgery.

Facial ptosis surgery usually involves the following steps:

● Incision design: The surgeon will choose the appropriate incision location based on the patient's facial features. Incisions are usually made around the ear, within the hairline, or under the chin to maximise scar concealment.

● Deep Tissue Adjustment: restores facial contours and improves facial lines by separating and lifting sagging facial tissues.

● Excess Skin Removal: removes loose skin for a firmer, more youthful facial appearance.

Depending on the specific needs of the patient, facial sagging surgery can be combined with other procedures (such as lipofilling, eye surgery or neck lift) to achieve a complete facial improvement.

Facial sagging surgery is suitable for the following people:

● Significant laxity or sagging of the face and jaw that affects the facial contour.

● The skin has a certain degree of elasticity, which helps recovery after surgery.

● Are in good health and have no major medical conditions that would make them suitable for surgery.

● Have reasonable expectations of the outcome of the surgery and understand that the surgery can slow down the outward signs of aging, but cannot completely stop the aging process.

Recovery time after surgery varies from person to person and generally goes through the following stages:

● Week 1: Swelling and bruising may occur after surgery, avoid strenuous activities and take plenty of rest.

● Second to third week: Most of the swelling gradually subsides and you can resume your daily activities, but you still need to avoid excessive force or pressure on the incision.

● One month later: the appearance is close to the natural state, but the final result usually takes 3-6 months to be fully visible.

Post-operative patients should follow their doctor's care recommendations, including regular follow-up appointments, keeping the incision clean, and avoiding direct sunlight, to help speed up the recovery process and reduce post-operative risks.

Although facial ptosis surgery is a well-established cosmetic technique, there are certain risks associated with any procedure, including infection, scarring, nerve damage, or asymmetrical results after surgery. Choosing an experienced surgeon and communicating fully with him or her is the key to reducing risks.
