Getting Ready For Your Manhattan Face Lift Surgery

You have made the decision that you are going to have Manhattan face lift surgery. You have met with your surgeon and it has been determined that you are a candidate. One final issue your doctor needs to discuss and that is your medical history and do some pre-surgery testing. In your medical history, be sure you know as much as possible about family medical problems, especially a history of heart problems, stroke, diabetes, etc.

Your doctor will want to know if you are a smoker, and if you are, there is bad news. You will need to quit. There can be no nicotine in your system for thirty days prior to face lift Manhattan surgery, including the nicotine patches. Nicotine causes blood flow problems which could lead to major surgical complications - so be honest. Your doctor will need to know all medications and supplements you are on, etc.

About a week before the surgery you will probably have some blood work done just to make sure everything is good with your blood. On the day of your operation, you will arrive about two hours before the surgery. You will be given a routine physical, blood pressure, temperature, etc. The anesthesiologist will meet with you to discuss what type of anesthesia you will be getting. Some people get general, some get local with a mild sedative for you to sleep, etc. The Manhattan face lift surgery will last from two to four hours. You will see your surgeon one last time, then you are ready.

Usually incisions are made in front of and behind the ear. Sometimes these incisions go up to the forehead and hairline. The incision is always placed where it will fall into a natural crease so that there will be no visible post surgical scaring. The face lift actually takes place by taking the deeper layers of the face and separating the muscles from the skin. Some of the deeper layers of the skin may be removed. Fat is removed by process of liposuction which is done by inserting a tube into the fat layers and "sucking" out some of the fat. The outer layer of skin is then replaced over the facial muscle, and the incision is sutured. Thus is your New York City face lift surgery. You may be able to go home the same day, or sometimes it is deemed necessary to remain in the hospital overnight to watch for complications, but your Manhattan face lift is done!
