Short-scar faceliftis one of the most recent developments in facial aesthetic surgery, invented and popularized by Dr Daniel Baker - one of the leading New York Cityplastic surgeons . Short-scar facelift is a highly effective technique that brings amazing, and very positive aesthetic results with minimal scarring that is nearly invisible. It is also known by different names such as s-lift, mini-lift, baby boomer facelift or limited-incision facelift.
The operation involves the repositioning of the muscles and tissue under the skin to bring about the facelift. In this procedure the skin is separated from the underlying SMAS, thus allowing customization for every patient according to their skin quality and overall facial laxity. When compared to a traditional facelift, the short-scar facelift involves lesser bruising and swelling.
The short-scar facelift is particularly suitable for younger patients in their forties and fifties. For older patients, this procedure works to correct the signs of aging, whereas for younger ones, this is an effective solution for maintaining a naturally youthful appearance. The procedure itself takes approximately 1 ½ to 2 hours and can be performed under local anesthesia. Recovery period for the short-scar facelift is anywhere between 10 days to two weeks.
Patients undergoing short-scar facelift surgery have advantages such as:
• Minimal scarring
• Minimal tissue trauma
• Natural results that last anywhere from 8 to 10 years
Though this procedure has many advantages, it is not free from disadvantages.
• A skilled and qualified plastic surgeon is required to carry out this procedure due to the limited approach and visibility
• Harder to perform when compared to the traditional surgery
• Similar complications as in traditional facelift including hematoma, infection, and poor wound healing (especially with smokers and diabetics) might occur
• Not a common solution for all patients, since these operations have to be custom-tailored to a particular patient’s requirements
The results of a short-scar facelift can be amazing, endowing patients with a more youthful appearance for many years to come.
