AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR FACE LIFT?
You may be a good candidate for facelift if you observe any one or more of the following:
- A deep line or fold, running from the corner of your nose to the corner of your mouth
- Jowls or loss of a well-defined jaw line associated with youthfulness
- Deep wrinkles in the cheeks and sagging of the “highlight” areas of the cheekbones
Loose skin, wrinkles, vertical “cords” or excess fatty tissue in the neck
RISKS, COMPLICATIONS & SIDE EFFECTS
- Facial Rejuvenation is performed regularly by Dr. Viral Desai. It is a relatively safe procedure, however, it is important to understand that there are certain risks, complications and side effects, before deciding to go ahead with surgery. Dr. Viral Desai will discuss these points in detail with you. They include:
Wound infection requiring antibiotics. - Pain and discomfort due to swelling of the face.
- Haematoma which may require readmission and surgery to remove it.
- Nausea, relating to the length of general anaesthetic.
- If you colour your hair, this should be done prior to surgery
- As you are under anaesthesia longer than most other cosmetic procedures, you should be as healthy as possible, thus making your post-operative recuperation easier.
YOUR NEW LOOK
Chances are excellent that you’ll be happy with your facelift, especially if you appreciate that results may not be immediately apparent. Even after the swelling and bruises are gone, the hair around your temples may be thin and your skin may feel dry and rough for several months. Men may find they have to shave in new places, behind the neck and ears, where areas of beard- growing skin have been repositioned. You’ll have some scars from your facelift, but they’re usually hidden by your hair or in the natural creases of your face and ears. In any case, they’ll fade within time and should be scarcely visible.
Having a facelift doesn’t stop the clock. Your face will continue to age with time, and you may want to repeat the procedure one or more times-perhaps five or ten years down the line. But in another sense, the effects of even one facelift are lasting; years later, you’ll continue to look better than if you’d never had a facelift at all.
What You Should Expect During Consultaion?
Dr. Viral Desai will ask you about the results you will expect from surgery. He will inform you of the risks and complications as well as the benefits and whether or not your expectations are realistic.
You should stop smoking (including the use of nicotine patches), intake of any blood thinning tablets (i.e. aspirin/disprin) and intake of vitamins at least one week prior to surgery. Medicines prescribed by Dr. Viral Desai should be taken as advised
Fasting is required for 7 hours prior to surgery. You should inform Dr. Viral Desai of any reactions to medications, general anaesthetics or tapes.
We give utmost importance to patient confidentiality and take strictest care to ensure your privacy. The staff at CPLSS understands that it can be difficult for a patient to make enquiries about such a delicate matter. It is our aim to make you feel as relaxed, comfortable and fully informed about the procedure as possible.

FASTING
Your admission time will approximately be 30-60 minutes prior to your surgery. You will be required to have fasted for 7 hours prior to this.
ACCOMPANIED BY SOMEONE
You will be required to be accompanied by a responsible person who would need to be with you for 24 hours after the procedure.

What You Should Expect After Your Surgery
EXPERIENCE SOME DISCOMFORT
After your surgery, you will be taken to a recovery area. It is at this time you may experience some discomfort. You may experience some of the following effects post surgery:
- Hair loss at the incision areas; however, this is usually not permanent
- Bruising of the face, which usually subsides after a couple of weeks
