It depends what type of injury you sustained and when you sustained it. In any case, the injury needs to be evaluated by your facial plastic surgeon. But this does not mean you will need another facelift.

In the first six weeks after a face lift, an injury to the face needs to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine if any surgical touch-up treatment is needed. For example, if the injury affected your incisions, this will need to be addressed.

If the injury occurred six weeks or more after your facelift, it will likely be treated as would any injury to face. Your surgeon will examine you to determine if there are any bony or soft tissue injuries that need to be treated.

If you injured your face after a facelift, contact your surgeon immediately for instructions on how to proceed.

There are a number of situations and conditions that may preclude you from having a facelift. Generally speaking, good candidates for facelift are non-smokers in good physical and mental health with realistic expectations.

If you currently smoke and are interested in having a facelift, you need to quit smoking well in advance of surgery. Most surgeons won’t even consider performing cosmetic surgery on patients who smoke.

If you suffer any of the following, facelift may not be for you:

• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Bleeding disorders
• Obesity
• High cholesterol
• Diabetes
• Severe allergies
• Lung/heart disease
• Arthritis

Patients with diminished skin elasticity (typically older patients) are not good candidates for facelift.

Face lift is an amazing procedure that can have a dramatic results, but it’s not for everyone. It will not transform your life, so if this is your expectation, you probably aren’t a good candidate for the procedure.

Also, some patients are better suited to other procedures such as neck lift or brow lift. Younger patients can often benefit from a less-invasive facial rejuvenation procedure.

If you are interested in having a facelift, schedule a consultation with Dr. Rizk to learn if you are a good candidate.

See, you can end up at a technically expert surgeon and be disappointed, if your version of beauty is different than his”. Dr. Rizk’s asks “How do you intend to get a natural-looking result?” and answers “you are looking for a surgeon who tells you specifically, that he is doing a lift of both the skin and underlying muscle – which takes extra skill and training, but generally creates a face-lift that lasts longer and avoids the bad face-lift/wind-tunnel appearance”.

Dr. Rizk commented on Cameron Diaz’s “pillow face surgery” that she undergone and his expert opinion suggests it could have been due to either overdone fat or cheek implants. He says unless she had a lot of fillers, the swelling on her face is most likely not because of it.
