As we grow older, our face also begins to lose its collagen and elastin, which leads to a saggy facial appearance. The loss of facial volume due to accumulated fat, bone reabsorption, and increased skin elasticity leads to creases, wrinkles, and folds.

A rhytidectomy, commonly known as a facelift, is a plastic surgery procedure that makes your facial features younger. Is plastic surgery procedure can reduce the sagging or folds of skin on your jawline and cheeks, as well as other changes in the shape of your face that occur as you grow older. 

But people who are planning to undergo a facelift in Miami commonly asked if a facelift will leave scars. Dr. Carlos Spera—a renowned Plastic Surgery in Miami will provide you information regarding the different facelift options.

Will a facelift leave scars?

Scars caused by incisions from a facelift procedure are permanent. Fortunately, they can be hidden by a hairline and natural contours of your face and ear. The incisions can rarely result in raised, red scars. Injections of a corticosteroid medication or other treatments might use to improve the appearance of your scars.

Every plastic surgery that will require cutting of the skin, a scar is expected to form. Since a facelift will require incisions, a scar is inevitable. With Dr. Carlos Spera—a renowned Plastic Surgery in Miami, the scars that form as you heal from your facelift should end up being nearly invisible to detect.

A facelift procedure involves adjusting the deeper tissues in your face, which create more natural-looking facial features. When the tissue moved, the skin follows with it. Hence, there is little to no tension on the incision lines. Bear in mind that wide and noticeable scars are visible when the skin is pulled tight and sewn together. But in this case, where no tension tugged at the incision area, the scars that form should only thin lines.

Facelift procedures

Dr. Carlos Spera—a renowned Plastic Surgery in Miami offers two facelift procedures to choose from, and they are as follows:

TempSure Envi

TempSure Envi is a gentle treatment that minimizes fine lines and wrinkles in your face and tightens your skin. It is safe for all skin types and sun exposure levels; hence, it fits into any beauty maintenance routine perfectly, any time throughout the year. Patients who already undergo TempSure Envi in Miami can attest that the procedure is painless. You can enjoy the benefits of a facelift without any worries. It is carefully designed with comfort in mind to provide you a comfortable experience but not compromising its effectiveness.

Through collagen synthesis, TempSure Envi delivers radiofrequency technology to heat your skin gently. However, it will not leave any scars. Increasing the temperature for a defined and therapeutic time triggers your skin’s natural response to produce new collagen. The new collagen fibers are dense, tight, and neatly organized, giving you tight and younger-looking facial skin.

TempSure Envi is an ideal solution if you are looking for a minimally invasive alternative facelift procedure. It provides you a soothing facial experience and giving you the desired results.

Deep Plane Facelift

A Deep Plane facelift will rejuvenate your face, besides correcting your wrinkles, making your face a year younger.  It is a facelift procedure that specifically lifts and contours sagging facial features, in addition to wrinkle reduction. 

A deep plane facelift is a combination of both fillers—usually, the patient’s fat and neurotoxins. It helps restore natural and curved facial features, make your face more rested and energetic and reduce wrinkles, creases, or folds.

In a week following a facelift procedure, you might style your hair to hide any remaining signs of scarring due to incisions. You may also opt to delay attending major social events for a month when you are likely to feel back to normal. 

Not only will the narrow width of your scars make them barely noticeable, but their location will also make them hard to detect as well.
