Face Lift Surgery Procedure - What Are the Latest Advancements in Face Lifts?

For many decades, the face lift has been a popular choice of plastic surgery patients who want to look younger and more beautiful by bringing back their younger more vibrant facial features. Thanks in part to the many advancements that have been made over the decades, plastic surgery is far more easier to recover from as well as safer than it was just 10 years ago.
From face lifts to neck lifts, or rhytidectomy as it is called in the world of plastic surgery, the advancements that are available now, have come from the years of surgery that has been performed.
Every day it seems that something new comes out to help advance the science of plastic surgery and face lifts are not excluded. From the use of scalpels to the use of lasers, from painful injections to the use of gas and other forms of anesthesia, the face lift itself as well as the recovery time has become safer to almost anyone who undergoes the procedure.
Even the computer industry has helped to advance the surgical process by enabling a doctor to create a before and after procedure shot, even before the procedure is under way. This not only helps with the patient's ability to choose what they want done, but can help the surgeon as well.
Of all the latest advancements, the capitique along with contoured threads are the latest. While capitique is a non invasive form of face lift in which a liquid filler is used to give the face a younger appearance, the contoured threads are a surgical procedure. The contoured threads are a clear, soft and flexible polypropylene thread that is used to gently lift the skin back into place. Unfortunately, this is not a replacement for the traditional style of a surgical facelift, but it does help.
It is always important to check with your surgeon before deciding on the potential treatment as he or she may not be willing to perform it due to many different variables that may include things like you medical history or possible complications that may be associated with your face lift. Always ask questions and research your upcoming facelift to make sure that you can make a well informed decision.
