If you are in relatively good health, plastic surgery, including a facelift, is a medical procedure from which recovery is generally straightforward. There is anesthesia involved with this operation and that should definitely be taken into account. Facelifts are great for people who are in general good health and are not looking for major adjustments to their appearance. However, it is also possible to undergo an additional procedure at the same time, such as rhinoplasty when having a facelift. Chin implants are another additional procedure that can be taken care of simultaneously with this procedure. These types of enhancements are increasingly popular with people as they grow older and wish to reclaim a more youthful appearance.
Facelifts, while now a somewhat routine procedure, are still a major medical undertaking. Be sure to have a very thorough consultation with your doctor prior to scheduling anything. Your plastic surgeon can go over the medical implications and safeguards with you and inform you of any possible complications. During this consultation your surgeon will also discuss the desired outcomes of the surgery and what you want to look like post facelift. They will also instruct you on the post-operation expectations and the care you will require.

The Procedure
There are four basic steps to performing fat grafting.
- First, the surgeons identify the areas with excess fat known as donor sites. These include the lower abdomen, hip, lower back (buttocks) and the inner or outer thighs. They apply local anesthesia or use IV sedation depending on the type of surgery.
- Then they extract it by liposuction (using MicroLipo, VASER Liposuction) or harvest it using thin cannulas and other appropriate technologies.
- They decant, process, and purify the adipose tissue in a special centrifuge.
- The final step is re-injection into the desired areas, referred to as recipient sites
