Facelift
Rhytidectomy in Montreal
What does a facelift do?
Everyone will experience signs of aging over time, such as sagging, fine lines, wrinkles and loose skin. Many patients will choose some non-surgical options to slow the process or help temporarily, but a facelift is a long-lasting option with beautiful rejuvenating results. A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that will lift the sagging skin on the face and neck, and tighten the muscles underneath to restore a youthful appearance. Scars will be hidden around the ears and hairline, with natural looking results usually resulting in an appearance of 10 or more years younger.

Your plastic surgeon will give you an honest assessment and let you know if you are a good candidate for a facelift, but in general you should be in good overall health with no medical conditions that can impair healing, must be a nonsmoker or willing to quit smoking, and have realistic expectations.

How to maximize your facelift results
A facelift is the basis for revitalization of youthfulness to the face, but there are numerous procedures that can be combined with a facelift to enhance your results.
Some procedures that are commonly performed with a facelift:
- Brow lift
- Fat transfer (fat grafting)
- Neck lift
- Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
- Liposuction
Your plastic surgeon will provide tailor-made recommendations to you depending on the extent of the signs of aging, age, lifestyle and desired results.
Depending on your age, lifestyle and aesthetic goals, you may benefit from non-surgical options as a less permanent option. Facelift results are best when patients are over 40.
Possible risks
Know the risks of facelift surgery
Like any other surgery, there are of course risks associated with choosing to have a facelift, such as risks associated with anesthesia, bleeding, infection, poor wound healing, fluid accumulation (hematoma), changes in skin sensation and pain.

Your plastic surgeon will discuss all risks in detail with you during your consultation and before surgery.

- Hair loss along incision sites (temporary or permanent)

Very good surgeon. I had a mommy makeover (abdominoplasty and breast lift with implant) by Dr. Arash and I am very satisfied. He's a magician. I can't stop staring at my chest.
