Over the past few years, several non-laser based tattoo removal techniques have emerged with extraordinary claims about their ability to remove professional tattoos is questionable and often dangerous to the skin.\r\n\r\nThe laser emits a pulse of light that is absorbed into certain colours of ink. The laser light penetrates the skin at high speed (billionths of a second) that produces a shock wave effect that disperses the ink particles into smaller pieces. The body then identifies these particles as something that shouldn;t be there and attacks and removes these via the bodys immune system.\r\n\r\n<strong>Can any colour be removed?</strong>\r\n\r\nIn our experience, not all colours respond very well to Laser treatment. Blacks and reds are removed effectively as well as some brown, purple, orange, pink and occasionally yellow ink. Greens and blues are less effective, although these can be faded by up to 50% allowing a more successful cover up. It has been found that 80-90% of tattoo images are made from black ink.\r\n<h6>Ink Pigment Sits at different depths in the skin</h6>\r\nDifferent color ink settles at different depths of the skin. Black ink settles the deepest in the skin, Blues/Greens settle mid skin and Reds/Oranges settle at the surface of the skin. In order to successfully treat different ink colors, you need different wavelengths to properly target each color and its depth within the skin.\r\n<h6>You Can’t Change Physics</h6>\r\nIn the world of tattoo removal, the two most important factors a wavelength has is 1) how deep the wavelength penetrates the skin and 2) what color(s) does the wavelength target.\r\n\r\nWhen taking into account where ink colors reside within the skin, research has proven the best wavelength to successfully target dark pigment (Black, Dark Blues, etc.) is the ND:Yag 1064. The best wavelength to target the difficult Blue and Green colors is the 694 and the only wavelength to target Red is the 532.\r\n\r\n<strong>How many treatment sessions do I need?</strong>\r\n\r\nEvery tattoo responds differently due to a number of variables. The age of the tattoo, the depth of the ink and whether it was a professional or amateur piece will determine the number of sessions required. Then there are variations in ink colors and their chemical compositions, density of ink placement, skin type and individual immune system factors. Predicting how many treatments any particular tattoo will require is an educated guess. During your consultation, we will make an estimate of the number of tattoo removal sessions needed to remove your tattoo. On average most black ink tattoos require between 7 to 10 sessions spread over several months. <b>Getting the tattoo was the easy part!</b>\r\n\r\n<strong>How is Revlite™ Laser different to Picosure™ Laser?</strong>\r\n\r\nBoth Revlite SI™ and Picosure™ lasers are manufactured by the same US company, Cynosure™(Cynosure recently purchased Hoya Conbio). Revlite is a Q-Switched Laser operating in a nano second range delivering 1064 nm and 532 nm wavelengths and with MultiLite Dye Handpieces extending the wavelength capabilities to include 585 nm and 650 nm. Hence, 4 wave lengths to target the most diverse range of tattoo inks. Picosure™ Laser operates in pico second range but able to generate only one wave length, 755.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>It can stop short of deep black colour due to shorter wavelength hence, potentially, not being able to fully remove the ink.</li>\r\n 	<li>It can not remove red coloured inks.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWe use a combination of lasers to give us the best results as illustrated below in our before-and-after photograph montage.\r\n\r\n<strong>How frequently can I return for follow up treatment sessions?</strong>\r\n\r\nTattoo fading is a slow process and depends on participation by your body’s immune system to work. We recommend that you wait at least 4-5 weeks to get the greatest value from each laser treatment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Does it hurt?</strong>\r\n\r\nThe discomfort of laser tattoo removal is often described as a “rubber band snapping the skin” but can vary from client to client. We do our utmost to minimize any pain or discomfort possible. We also use high-strength topical numbing cream as well has skin cooling with cryo-chiller device, both of which working together are highly effective. Some tattoos need local anesthetic injections.\r\n\r\n<strong>If the tattoo looks healed can I come in before six weeks?</strong>\r\n\r\nIt takes four weeks for the body to start breaking down the ink and even though the tattoo may appear healed, it is not. The laser breaks the ink down into smaller pieces and then the body has to get rid of it. This process takes 4-6 weeks so getting treated sooner than that will not make the tattoo remove any quicker and can also put you at risk for scarring.\r\n\r\n<strong>What are the limitations after treatment?</strong>\r\n\r\nLimit the amount of physical activity that you do and sun exposure for the first 24 hours. If the body gets too over heated it can cause the tattoo to blister. Showers can be taken but only if they are luke warm and use mild soap.\r\n\r\n<strong>Can I have just a portion of the tattoo removed?</strong>\r\n\r\nYes, the laser is accurate and can remove unwanted parts of a tattoo.\r\n\r\n<strong>I have permanent make-up (lip liner, eyeliner, eyebrows). Can you remove it?</strong>\r\n\r\nYes, this is the most commonly performed laser tattoo removal treatment. There is a small risk associated with it. Some cosmetic inks have metallic bases and when the laser beam hits it, it can turn black. Once this darkening occurs, it can take several sessions to fix it. A test spot is always done first. Please see the photos below of leaked eyelid tattoos and eyebrow tattoos that we improved with lasers.\r\n\r\n<strong>How much does it cost?</strong>\r\n\r\nThe price of the treatments depends on the size of tattoo you are having treated. We will have to take a look at the tattoo to see the exact size of it because we do not charge for open space. Most people tend to overestimate the size of their tattoo. For reference, a coin sized tattoo costs $150 per session.\r\n\r\n<strong>Can I lighten the tattoo to have another one put on top?</strong>\r\n\r\nOf course, depending on the colors of the tattoo we recommend have 3-5 treatment sessions done to lighten it before having a cover up tattoo put on. You should wait six weeks between your last treatment and when you put on the new one. Many of our patients return to have the second tattoo removed, however!!\r\n\r\n<strong>Will I blister and scab afterwards?</strong>\r\n\r\nBlisters and scabs are normal. You should not pop or pick at them. If it is bothering you feel free to call us to come in and have it drained. If the blister pops on its own, keep the skin over it and cover with a healing ointment and gauze. This will promote healing and prevent scarring.\r\n\r\n<strong>Does insurance cover it?</strong>\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, health insurance does not cover this procedure.\r\n\r\n<strong>I got my tattoo one week ago. Can I have it removed right now?</strong>\r\n\r\nUnfortunately no. You must wait six weeks after a tattoo has been put on to start the removal process.\r\n\r\n<strong>Are all tattoo removal lasers the same?</strong>\r\n\r\nIt is important to understand that not all tattoo removal lasers available today are the same. Only top of the range Class 4 (C4) Q-Switched Lasers from the US and European manufacturers are able to properly tackle the inks of professionally done tattoos. These high end laser platforms are extremely expensive (over $100,000). There are several laser machines manufactured in China and Korea,: these devices are not able to remove professionally done tattoos and often deliver suboptimal results and have a significantly higher risk of tissue scarring. It is imperative for anyone wanting to have a tattoo removed, to ask about the professional qualification of their service provider and what laser device is being used in house.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is the aftercare like?</strong>\r\n\r\nAftercare of laser tattoo removal is very similar to the aftercare you had to follow after you had the tattoo! During laser treatment, your tattoo may turn white briefly. It then swells somewhat and may turn red, but this usually lasts only a few hours. It is important to keep that tattoo covered with ointment and a bandage for the first day. Usually, it feels like a mild sunburn and does not hurt unless rubbed against. Between your treatments, it is important to keep the tattoo covered from the sun to prevent hyperpigmentation (darkening). You will receive detailed instructions during your appointment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Why you should avoid other tattoo removal methods?</strong>\r\n\r\nThere are other ways to remove tattoos but the results can be disappointing and carry a relatively high complication risk. Injections, creams, acid and other non-laser methods are, in our experience not just ineffective but potentially hazardous. If these low-cost alternatives worked, we would use them. You need to know all the facts before making a decision on tattoo removal.\r\n\r\n<strong>Acid, or chemical removal: </strong>These methods involve the use of a concentrated caustic compound to chemically burn skin tissue to the depth of the tattoo itself. This can obliterate the tattoo but only through the formation of scar-tissue, which may still contain pigment. Scarring is inevitable but removal is not! A number of science sounding acronyms such as Trans Epidermal Pigment Release (TEPR), have been used to mask what is, quite straight-forwardly chemical burning!\r\n<figure class=\"gallery-item\"><a href=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Laser-tattoo-removal-by-dr-bhupendra-patel.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"e4839f6\"><img src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Laser-tattoo-removal-by-dr-bhupendra-patel.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" srcset=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Laser-tattoo-removal-by-dr-bhupendra-patel.jpg 1500w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Laser-tattoo-removal-by-dr-bhupendra-patel-211x300.jpg 211w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Laser-tattoo-removal-by-dr-bhupendra-patel-768x1094.jpg 768w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Laser-tattoo-removal-by-dr-bhupendra-patel-719x1024.jpg 719w\" alt=\"Laser removal of a dark tattoo by Dr. Bhupendra Patel\" width=\"1500\" height=\"2136\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-3285\" /></a><figcaption id=\"gallery-2-3285\" class=\"wp-caption-text gallery-caption\">Removal of a dark tattoo with laser</figcaption></figure>\r\n<figure class=\"gallery-item\"><a href=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Roberts.Donna-prepost-tattoo.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"e4839f6\"><img src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Roberts.Donna-prepost-tattoo.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" srcset=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Roberts.Donna-prepost-tattoo.jpg 1500w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Roberts.Donna-prepost-tattoo-228x300.jpg 228w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Roberts.Donna-prepost-tattoo-768x1012.jpg 768w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Roberts.Donna-prepost-tattoo-777x1024.jpg 777w\" alt=\"englishsurgeon.com.

Everything you ever wanted to know about a facelift and a necklift (as performed by Dr. Bhupendra Patel of Patel Plastic Surgery) is presented here. </strong></p><p>A facelift and a necklift is known by many different names: rhytidectomy, facelift, cervico-facial lift, face-and-necklift, lower facelift, etc. Then there are many gimmicky names that are designed to sell the procedure to the public and are best avoided. There is no such thing as a \"weekend lift\", \"no-scar facelift\", \"quicko-facelift\", \"acme facelift\", etc. These are creations of the slick advertising surgeon, all too common and best avoided at all costs. </p><p><strong>Aging of the Face and Neck</strong></p><p>Tempus fugit: aging of the face is inevitable and inexorable. Or as Hippocrates so succinctly put it: \"ars longa, vita brevis\". With the steady march of time, there is loosening of skin, tendons, deeper supporting structures as well as changes in bones, resulting in the well-recognized changes of aging that affect our face and neck. From forehead lines and creases, to drooping brows and eyelids, to crow\'s feet to deep nasolabial and melolabial folds, to jowls, to loss of the jawline, to double and triple chins to neck laxity and bands. And that is just a brief outline of aging, the full discussion of which would take a textbook to discuss. It affects ladies and chaps with equal remorseless persistence!</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Aging as seen in Women</a></h1>		\n											<a href=\"#\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"\">\n							<img src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1.-Aging-of-women.jpg\" title=\"1.-Aging-of-women.jpg\" alt=\"Aging of women to explain facelift and necklift by Dr. Bhupedra C.

The surgery should only be undertaken after care and attention has been paid to the following important points:</p><ul><li>Understanding features of your face and neck that bother you. Not every change needs a facelift. Some can be improved with fillers, botox, lasers, or smaller procedures. Ask!</li><li>Understanding the difference between the many confusing names of facial procedures that are throuwn out to the poor public. Do not get taken in by sleek advertising and fancy offices!</li><li>Establising a proper rapport with your surgeon: communication is the key. We believe that your surgeon should be the only one who always sees you (before and after surgery), the surgeon should communicate with you and the surgeon should ensure your results meet requirements. </li><li><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-cropped-300x129.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"556\" height=\"240\" /></li><li>Word-of-mouth is best to ensure you know of others who have had facelifts by your surgeon so you feel comfortable with your choice.</li><li>Nickeling and diming with discounts can be seductive and dangerous: it is YOUR face, don\'t forget. Choose wisely.</li><li>A proper face and necklift should be designed for your specific needs and not be an out-of-the-box named \"cut here and suture there\" procedure. No two people age the same way, which is why template, quick operations produce average results. Our motto is, loosely translated \"nothing but the best will satisfy us\" (per ardua ad astra). To that end, our before-and-after photographs, patient testimonials and patient-referrals may guide you.</li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">In general, what are the improvements sought in a facelift?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Remembering that many factors have to be considered when predicting the outcomes of facelifts (including race, age, lifestyle, sun exposure, history of smoking, genetic factors, previous surgery, weight gain or loss, etc), these are the areas where improvement is dought and obtained when bespoke face and necklifts are designed:</p><ul><li>Improvement in the lines that run from the nose to the mouth and the mouth to the chin (nasolabial folds and melolabial folds)</li><li>Stronger jawline</li><li>Improvement in jowls</li><li>Improvement in laxity of the skin of the lower face</li><li>Improvement in the laxity of the neck skin</li><li>Improvement in neck bands</li><li>Improvement in the texture of the face and neck skin</li><li>Improvement in fullness in the neck (double chin)</li><li>Improvement in the appearance of the chin (correction of the witch\'s chin or the weak chin)</li><li>Improvement in the appearance of the lips</li><li>Improvement in the corners of the mouth (\"frowny mouth\")</li><li>Establising a proper rapport with your surgeon: communication is the key.

Patel, MD</a>Salt Lake City Plastic Surgeon <p>Absolutely wonderful surgeon, great human being and terrific, kind, staff. I had been trying to lose weight and been bothered by my appearance (my face) for a long time. You have to make a decision in your life about how you look but also how you feel and I felt energetic and young. You always want to look as good on the outside as you feel on the inside. You never feel as old on the inside and I had been thinking about having the surgery done for five years. After my face and necklift by Dr. Bhupendra Patel, I went to my mother\'s 90th birthday party in Washington. The comments from everyone was \"how come you have a daughter that is so young?\" They could not tell I had had a facelift and necklift. Everyone thought I was 20 years younger!! I also had an endoscopic browlift and blepharoplasty called the hammock lift which has completely changed the way I look and I don\'t feel tired. My friends think I look at least 20 years younger. I am so glad I got my face fixed! I am enjoying life! Dr. Patel kept on asking me to stop smiling as he took my photographs but I just couldn\'t! I love my face but I especially love my neck. Dr. Patel told me that every young woman should be reminded to enjoy her long neck and firm jawline while they can because father time catcheth up with us all!

To that end, here are my views on possible dis-advantages of undergoing a facelift:</p><ul><li>Down-time. Most patients will need at least two weeks off work to ensure that most of the healing is well under way. If you need to go to a party of get-together where you don\'t want anyone to see any bruises or swelling, it might be four to six weeks after surgery before that may be done. Everyone heals at different rates. Ans as I say time and again: it takes you 20, 30, 40, 50 years to age, the body IS going to need some weeks to heal! Please do not think you will be different and your healing will be quicker than everyone else\'s. Human physiology, biological aging and healing do not discriminate or favour! Celeris paribus, we are all going to take time to heal!</li><li>Cost must always be considered with any elective procedure</li><li>Your expectations: some people have expectations which are not realistic. For example, a facelift will not make anyone look 20 again. Your expectations should be realistic but ambitious, as are ours for all our patients. Our before-and-after photographs will illustrate what one should endeavour to achieve. </li><li>Every single area of the face and neck will not show an equal improvement: the degree of aging, sun damage, etc will vary from person-to-person and from part of the face to part of the face. Results from a facelift and necklift should be regarded as looking at a whole painting and ot studying individual brush strokes. NOT every wrinkle or line will disappear. Indeed, most will improve, but few will completely disappear. The clavis aurea to a beautiful facelift is the care and attention to detail paid by your surgeon and the patience demonstrated by the patient!         <img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Salkeld.Linda-prepost-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2120\" height=\"1492\" /></li><li>Maintenance: you will continue to age. Therrefore, some changes in the face do develop and will need simple maintenance with lasers or fillers or botox to keep the results looking good long-term.</li><li>Psychological: many patients tell us \"I never thought I would have a facelift!\" This is where no-one should convince you to have a facelift or not to have a facelift. Adults have the ability to self-determine. Seek guidance, not convincing by those around you. If you experience pressure-sales-pitches, run.</li></ul><p><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /> RealSelf</p><p><strong>\"To Dr. Patel about my Facelift Results: </strong>I have spent time today reviewing your point-by-point description of everything you did for me and how you did it; I referred to the before and after photos countless times. I am in absolute awe. Your facelift results are nothing short of miraculous. You are absolutely correct, If you had told me what you intended to do, I would have most likely taken a pass from being confused and fearful of the results. You have a gift. Your skills are beyond my comprehension. You have taken a woman, me, who had spent the better part of 15 years being injected with Juvederm to ward off my hereditary jowls, then the signs of aging. I had gotten to a point, that there was not enough Juvederm to keep up with my aging process. I had resigned myself to forever having my Grandmother’s jowls. I became discouraged. Though I loved Grandma dearly, I did not love her jowls. I also never realized I had such a gobble neck not seeing myself in 3-D on a regular basis. Then I discovered your gifts through Marlene. Though I had always said I would never, ever get a face lift due to fear of a possible adverse outcome, the joy and confidence, plus the fabulous results from Marlene sealed the deal. I can’t even begin to tell you how very pleased and joyful I am by my results thus far and I know they will only improve with time. Thank you for doing such an amazing job for me and on me! <strong>\"</strong> -Toni J</p><ul><li><a href=\"https://www.realself.com/review/brilliant-results-facelift-dr-bhupendra-patel-salt-lake-city-st-george-magician#dr-review\">Bhupendra C.K.

There isn\'t a correct or incorrect age, but there is a correct and incorrect time! I am always talking patients out of having a facelift because they want the durgery done too soon. Our practice is European in our approach and therefore conservative. We will guide you, so that, as the Grail Knight, Lord de Bauvis of St Gobain said at the Holy Grail, you will \"choose wisely.\"</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Reidel-prepost.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Reidel-prepost.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1945\" height=\"855\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Can I choose how much of a facelift I should have?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Instead of falling for all the commercial names of facelifts (weekend lifts, halo lifts, no-bruise lifts!), it is best to consider what bothers you and seek to have the face and necklift designed to meet your needs. It is perfectly possible to choose to be very conservative, intermediate, or aggressive in what one seeks to get from the surgery. To that end, one can divide the approaches to a facelift and necklift into three:</p><ul><li>A full facelift and necklift would entail an improvement in all the aspects listed above and include fat grafts, use of lasers, work on the lips, etc.</li><li>A medium facelift can be done without fat grafts and lasers. This will reduce the degree of improvement you would see in some aspects of yoru face but your recovery is a little faster and the cost lower.</li><li>A \"mini-lift\" is reserved for patients who just want an improvement in the jowls and some improvement in the neck. Here the incisions may be less extensive, and the healing therefore quicker. However, this also means the improvements obtained are more measured.  <a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-3.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2134\" height=\"791\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Where are the incisions made?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Designing incisions specifically tailored to the individual faces is the key to obtaining excellent results. In most patients, the incisions will start from just at the temple tuft of hair, to be hidden inside the tragus and go around the ear to a variable distance up in the groove behind the ear:</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/8.-Ear-incision-technique.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/8.-Ear-incision-technique.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"509\" height=\"275\" /></a></p><p>When a browlift is combined with a facelift, the incision used is shown in diagram a. Otherwise, the incision is as shown in diagram b:</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/9.-Incisions-facelift-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/9.-Incisions-facelift-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"532\" height=\"300\" /></a></p><p>Below are actual results of the incisions on one of our patients.

There are several layers of sutures used, dissolving as well as permanent sutures. The skin sutures are removed between 7 and 14 days after surgery, depending upon a number of factors. In some of our out-of-State and overseas patients, we use the types of sutures that can be left in place longer. We don\'t use staples as the final scars from sutures inserted by a skilled surgeon are always superior to mechanical staples. Staples save the surgeon time. Suturing carefully gives you, the patient, superior results!</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">What kind of anaesthesia will I need?</a></h1>		\n		<p>These procedures can be performed using deep sedation anaesthesia as well as general anaesthesia. Again, we wil look at your general health and previous history and experience with anaesthesia to choose the best level of anaesthesia for you. We work with the best anaesthesiologists who perform superb and properly chosen anaesthesia for our patients.</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">What other procedures are generally done together with facelifts?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Patients may choose to have other procedures like endoscopic browlifts, upper and lower blepharoplasty, cheek lifts, fat grafts, laser, lip augmentation and fillers. If you have specific questions or procedures you are considering, we will discuss them with you during your consultation. </p><p>Many patients will divide facial cosmetic surgery into a top two-thirds of the face and the lower one-third of the face and the neck. To that end, patients will often choose to have what we call the Hammock Lift, which is a combination of an endoscopic browlift, upper and lower blepharoplasty together with cheek lifts. This essentially gives you a top two-thirds of a facelift. Most of these patients will then have a lower facelift and necklift some months (or years) later. An example of the Hammock Lift is shown to the right: it shows the longevity of the procedures. :</p>		\n											<a href=\"#\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"\">\n							<img width=\"1024\" height=\"500\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-1024x500.jpg\" alt=\"Improvement in the top two-thirds of the face using the principle of the Hammock Facelift as designed by Dr. Bhupendra Patel MD of Salt Lake City, Saint George and London, England:\" srcset=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-1024x500.jpg 1024w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-300x146.jpg 300w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-768x375.jpg 768w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs.jpg 1107w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />								</a>\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How much swelling and bruising will I have and for how long?</a></h1>		\n		<p>The swelling after facelifts tends to occur on the cheeks and lower down on the face. You will notice that the swelling descends lower down your face over the first few days. It is not uncommon to get bruising around the area below the ears and the neck. It helps to use ice on-and-off on the cheeks and neck for the first two to three days. The bruising and swelling always get worse for the first four days before gradually decreasing. In some patients, the last vestige of bruising or swelling can take several weeks to resolve. Keep the face moisterized with a face moisterizer at least three times a day for the first three weeks. </p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How much discomfort will I have?</a></h1>		\n		<p>You will experience tightness of your face as well as numbness of your cheeks. The tightness settles within a few days but the numbness takes a number of months to resolve: this is normal. Most patients are not even aware of this after the first few days. It is not uncommon to need prescription pain medication for the first two to three days, after which most of our patients switch to Tylenol or extra-strength Tylenol. </p><p>The neck will feel tight, but this is a good thing as we want to get as much of an improvement in the neck as possible: the neck makes the face! The more elegant the neck, the more gorgeous the face looks.</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Beautiful Necks Make Beautiful Faces!</a></h1>		\n							<figure>\n											<a href=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Nefertitit-long-neck.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\">\n							<img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Nefertitit-long-neck-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Queen Nefertiti and her lower face and neck illustrate the outcome of a facelift and necklift by Dr. Bhupendra Patel of Salt Lake City, Saint George, and London, England\" />								</a>\n											<figcaption>Nefertiti: Beautiful neck 1370 BC! </figcaption>\n										</figure>\n							<figure>\n											<a href=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Mature-long-neck.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\">\n							<img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Mature-long-neck-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Bhupendra C.

In the immediate postoperative period of the first few days, there will be swelling, some bruising, you will feel tired, and, it is perfectly normal (and common) for my patients to wonder why they did the surgery! This is only human when the swelling, bruising and limitations compromise your normally active social and work life. I remind all my patients to only think of the results which start to show very quickly and not dwell in the necessary swelling, etc. To that end, it helps to be familiar with the following points:</p><ul><li>Wear loose clothing (a button-up shirt, for example) when you come for your surgery. Your clothes will inevitably get wet because of normal oozing after surgery. </li><li>Make sure someone patient brings you to the surgical center and picks you up. We never hurry our surgeries and will keep you as long as is necessary in the postoperative area to ensure you are well enough to be discharged.</li><li>If you are staying in a hotel, ensure you have several pillows and towels. You will have access to ice. It is best to get a room in a quiet part of the hotel. Let the receptionist know you are having surgery with us: most hotels know us well and will be very helpful. Some will even give you a discounted rate if you let them know that you are having surgery with us! We have listed some of the most convenient hotels in our \"out of State and Overseas Patients\" section. </li><li>Keep your head elevated using about three pillows for the first three days (and nights). Avoid keeping your neck flexed for prolonged periods of time: this causes prolonged swelling. When bending, bend at the knees. You co not need to remain in bed: a recliner is fine. You may read if you want or watch television.</li><li>Do not take a shower immediately after your surgery. However, you may shower or take a bath after 24 hours: you may shampoo your hair, get your face wet and even use gentle soap on the face and neck. It is perfectly fine to get your sutures wet in the shower. </li><li>We will apply a special velcro-pressure dressing which we will provide you with. We will show you how to apply it back on after a shower and will ask you to wear it every night for the first two weeks and as much as you can during the daytime for two weeks: this helps to reduce swelling and bruising more quickly.</li><li>You may drink water, clear fluids, 7-Up (this drink, when flat, does not make patients suffer from nausea), clear broth, or tea. You may have a light lunch or dinner as long as you are not nauseated (you wil be prescribed medication for nausea if needed). You can resume normal eating and drinking within 24 hours of surgery. It is wise to refrain from imbibing alcohol for the first three days after surgery. </li><li>Apply ice on your face (frozen peas or crushed ice in a glove work well) on-and-off for 20-30 minutes for the first two to three days.</li><li>You will have ointment prescribed to apply to any eyelid incisions. You may apply artificial tears into your eyes as vision often varies as you heal. There is no need to apply any ointment to the incisions around your ears, other than a regular moisterizer.</li><li>Please make sure you have a good moisterizer like Aquaphor, Lubriderm or Eucerin (or any brand you usually use or even Vaseline) as keeping the skin moist, especially if laser has been used, allows the skin to recover more quickly.</li><li>If you have any eyelid surgery performed at the same time, EVERYONE experiences some degree of blurry vision because of swelling and healing: this is normal. Other than using artificial tears and ice as discussed above, there is no reason to worry. The vision reverts back to normal over a few days, but can sometimes take a few weeks!<a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1966\" height=\"740\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">When can I go back to work?</a></h1>		\n		<p>We have operated on fellow plastic surgeons who are back to work and able to operate within three days. So you may resume work as and when you feel well enough. However, do remember that the body ages over many years and therefore needs some days to a few weeks to heal: we are but mortal!</p><p>Pilots who fly commercial planes and commercial lorry drivers generally need three to four weeks before they are safe enough to resume duties.</p><p>Office-based work can usually be resumed within a few days if you wish.</p><p>Physical work (contractors, builders, painters, etc) will need about 7 - 10 days before they can resume activity, and even then, will have to be careful. <br /><a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-6.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"868\" height=\"401\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">When can I resume exercize and sports?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Tennis and skiing are generally best avoided for two weeks. Walking and gentle treadmill workouts can be resumed within three days. Heavy lifting of weights or vigorous aerobic exercize should be avoided for two weeks.</p><p>Yoga may be resumed in one week, except for the one-handed tree pose, the wounded peacock pose of the Sayanasana pose: NOT recommended for some weeks, even if you are that amazing that you can perform these poses!</p><p>If there are any specific activities you need to know about, kindly ask.  </p><p><a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Patel.Monika-postop-day-49-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Patel.Monika-postop-day-49-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1822\" height=\"1498\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Risks of Facelift &amp; Necklift Surgery</a></h1>		\n		<p>We like to ensure that you are aware of all eventualities and, to that end, kindly ensure you read this section carefully and please ask us any questions you may have prior to surgery. We are always available to go over things again if needed and happy to meet with your family or friends to ensure all questions have been answered. </p><ul><li>Excessive bleeding is a risk. We will insert drains for one to two days if necessary. Remember that we will ask you to stop aspirin, motrin, anti-inflammatory drugs and other such drugs and vitamins that affect blood clotting at least a week prior to surgery. Sometimes, we will insert drains for one to two days if indicated.</li><li>Patients may develop in infection, although this is rare.</li><li>Asymmetry: most of us do not have absolutely symmetrical faces. Indeed, asymmetry of the face is the norm and becomes more obvious as we age. The reason is we all look gorgeous when we are 18 and asymmetries are hidden by the glow of youth! Some of the asymmetry is related to the way we sleep: we call some of the lower facial changes \"pillow lines\" or \"acordian lines\". Other factors that cause asymmetry include familial traits, sun damage, personal habits, etc. As you heal, you WILL see small differences between the right and left sides of the face, especially early in the postoperative period. This is completely normal!</li><li>Scarring of facial incisions is uncommon. Please do not use any anti-scarring tape or gels without permission as they can affect healing. </li><li>Appearance of the face: every one of my patients is concerned about the \"pulled look\" or the \"operated look\" which is so disliked. And quite rightly so. We are well-known to never give our patients this type of result. However, as you heal, swelling can temporarily give you more of a pull on one or the other side. As we design the procedure carefully and aim to get as much of a symmetry as possible by the end of the procedure, you should not worry about swelling and temporary asymmetry. Especially in the first few weeks. Everyone experiences this to some extent and is normal.</li><li>As we are working at all the different layers of the face, you will notice that some nerves wake up sooner than others. You may have slight smile asymmetry. Facial nerve weakness or paralysis isa risk of facelift surgery that every surgeon should discuss and disclose to the patient. We endeavour to avoid this by using our extensive anatomical and surgical experience and skills during surgery. But you should always be aware of this risk.</li><li>IMPORTANT: as you will be healing and generally not in circulation with your friends or workmates for the first few days to weeks, it is common to feel \"down\" and concerned after the surgery. This is very common but it passes. We keep in close touch with our patients, reminding them to keep the old pecker up as things only get better. This response after surgery is nothing abnormal: just us being normal emotional beings. <a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\"><br /></a><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Neck-and-facelift.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Neck-and-facelift.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2008\" height=\"906\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How do I Maintain a beautiful long-term result after my Facelift &amp; Necklift Surgery?</a></h1>		\n		<p>As we continue to shuffle along this moral coil, what with sun exposure, dryness, wind, natural biological aging, day-to-day wear-and-tear, etc, there will be changes that appear after your facelift and necklift. This will include slowly increasing fine lines or wrinkles, mild depression of facial tissues (as we lose fat with age), gravity-related changes with some loosening of facial tissues, etc. Most of our patients will see us every six months or so: when indicated, in order to maintain the result, we will use filler, lasers, botox, etc as clinic-based treatments to keep the structures firm and youthful. By doing this, we have patients who are many years after their browlifts, belpharoplasties, midface lifts, facelifts and necklifts, who continue to look better than the day before surgery!</p><ul><li>Simple sunscreen and moisterizer use is advisable to protect the skin from the vagaries of heat, dryness, wind and sun.</li><li>Some patients need to improve red spots, broken veins or brown spots which afflict the face for many reasons: these are treated in clinic when the patient wishes to have this improvement using our Advanced Fotofacial and other laser treatments. You can see the types of skin improvement we are talking about in the before-and-after photos under those sections.</li><li>As some deeper loosening invariably occurs, we will use deeper radiofrequency treatments intermittently to keep the appearance as beautiful as we can, without repeat surgery. This is often combined with fillers.

It is also important to understand that only medical clinics with experienced doctors, are equipped to tackle different types of acne scars effectively.\r\nChoosing the correct treatments is vital to successful outcomes.</h6>\r\n<strong>What is the best treatment?</strong>\r\n\r\nAs mentioned above, there are at least 4 different types of acne scars of variable severity and there fore there is no single treatment to fix all of them at once.\r\n\r\n<strong>How is the acne scars treatment planned?</strong>\r\n\r\nThe treatment plan is formulated after a thorough clinical assessment by your doctor and is based upon the following factors:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Type and severity of scarring</li>\r\n 	<li>Patient’s health and medical history</li>\r\n 	<li>Patient’s skin type</li>\r\n 	<li>Patient’s budget</li>\r\n 	<li>Social downtime</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWe offer the following treatment options to address almost any type of facial scarring.\r\n\r\n<strong>CO2 Fractional Skin Resurfacing </strong>\r\n\r\nIts considered the gold standard in treating acne scars. It is excellent for improving mild to moderate depth Boxcar and Rolling Scars. It is also good for reducing the size of hypertrophic scars. However, it is not suitable for dark skin patients as first line therapy (due to the risk of hyper pigmentation) and also not able to completely fix deep scars on its on. Down time is about 2-3 weeks of redness and peeling and therefore it is not suitable for busy professionals who are unable to take time off work. The treatment takes about 15 minutes. Treatment area is anaesthetised for 40 minutes before hand and most patients find it to be a very tolerable procedure. We often combine PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatment with this procedure to deliver maximum skin renewal and minimise down time. To read more about Fractional Lasers, please click here.\r\n\r\n<strong>Erbium Fractional Skin Resurfacing- Alma Pixel™</strong>\r\n\r\nPros and cons are similar to the Fractional CO2 laser(described above) but it is considered to be less invasive than CO2, hence less down time, less cost and lower risk of post inflammatory hyper pigmentation. Suitable for patients with slightly darker skin and mild to moderate scarring. 2,3 treatment sessions are needed over a period of several months. Downtime is about 5 to 10 days of redness and swelling. We often combines PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatment with this procedure to deliver maximum skin renewal and minimise down time. At least 3 treatment sessions are recommended over a period of 6 to 8 months.\r\n\r\n<strong>Full Field Erbium Skin Resurfacing</strong>\r\n\r\nThis is not our first line treatment. We use this treatment in conjunction with fractional skin resurfacing as a finishing touch procedure. It improves superficial scars, enlarged pores and provides excellent anti-aging effect.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sublative Radiowave Fractional Skin Resurfacing – Syneron eTwo™ and Accent Radiofrequency</strong>\r\n\r\nTreatment of choice for patients with darker skin. Indian, Asian, Middle Eastern and Hispanics. Less expensive than Laser skin resurfacing with less downtime and less risks of any side effects. However, 3 treatments of sublative radio-wave are needed as a minimum to see visible results. Often combined with deep skin needling and TCA cross to deliver maximum results. Downtime is about 7 to 10 days of redness, swelling and bronzing (temporary brownish discolouration of skin which last for a few days).\r\n<h3>NON LASER TREATMENTS FOR ACNE SCARS INCLUDE:</h3>\r\n<strong>Subcision</strong>\r\n\r\nThis is the procedure where the under surface of a scar is released/separated from the deeper skin layers to help the depressed/ indented area “lift up”. Subcision is the treatment of choice for all deep scars where the scarred tissue is tightly attached to the deeper skin. We routinely perform subcision procedure which is then followed by micro fat grafting and/or fractional laser skin resurfacing. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia of the treated area. Downtime is a few days of swelling and bruising.\r\n\r\n<strong>Subcision with suction</strong>\r\n\r\nThis technique combines subcision of depressed/ atrophic scars with several sessions of suction applied to the treated area over a period of 2 ,3 weeks. This method is only useful for tackling mild to moderate atrophic scars. It is not useful for severe tissue atrophy where micro fat grafting remain the only treatment of choice to replenish tissue loss.\r\n\r\n<strong>Radio-wave surgery</strong>\r\n\r\nRadio-wave device is used to gently shave off the nodule like, hypertrophic scarred tissue to make the area smooth. This procedure is only used to treat large atrophic scars.\r\n\r\n<strong>Cortisone (steroid) Injections:</strong>\r\n\r\nUseful for advance hypertrophic scars. Several sessions are needed.\r\n\r\n<strong>TCA Cross</strong>\r\n\r\nUsing 50%-100% TCA Solution. The procedure involves application of the TCA into every single Icepick acne scar and enlarged pore to close it down by stimulating target skin growth in the treatment area. The procedure is performed after the application of topical anaesthetic cream and is well tolerated by all patients. It takes about 30 minutes to perform. We routinely combine TCA Cross with Full Field and Fractional Skin Resurfacing procedures to deliver optimum results. More than 3 treatment sessions are needed with 6 to 8 weeks interval in-between.\r\n\r\n<strong>Micro Fat Grafting</strong>\r\n\r\nMicro fat grafting is the gold standard in treating deep Rolling and Boxcar type acne scars. In fact, this is the treatment of choice for any skin trauma or condition where localised tissue is lost. Fat is harvested from inner knees or love handles and gently injected in the skin under the scarred tissue (after submission). Stem Cells found in the fat, work amazingly to rejuvenate the skin. The procedure takes about 90 minutes and has a downtime of about 7-10 days of redness and swelling. It is done under local anaesthesia and well tolerated by patients. We routinely combine this procedure with other treatment options to treat deep scars.\r\n\r\n<strong>Medical Skin Needling</strong>\r\n\r\nSkin needling (including derma pens) is routinely advertised as a great treatment for Acne scars by many beauty salons. However, the needle size of at least 2mm and above is required to treat mild to moderate depth scars and in our experience this procedure delivers suboptimal results when performed alone and not combined with other treatment modalities mentioned above. We routinely combine Medical Skin Needling with TCA Cross, PRP and Fractional Lasers to treat all forms of acne scars. However, we talk our patients out of having this procedure for acne scars. As a stand alone procedure, it is a good skin rejuvenation procedure but not a good scar reduction option.\r\n\r\n<strong>Scar Excision and closure</strong>\r\n\r\nThis procedure is reserved for a small amount of acne scars which fail to respond to all above treatments. As a last measure, the scarred tissue is cut out using very fine scalpel after the area is completely numbed by local anaesthesia. Sutures are placed to close the wound and they stay in for about 5 days. Once the sutures are taken out, the area is treated with fractional skin resurfacing.\r\n\r\n<strong>Questions?</strong>\r\n\r\nPlease contact us so we may arrange to assess your skin and discuss the best options available: (801) 585 6646\r\n<h2>Quick Enquiry</h2>\r\nShort on time?

Skin is in a state of constant turnover, with new cells being created in the deepest layers. This process includes gene expression, which is how a cell receives its genetic code. It is also a critical part of how skin ages. As more genes associated with ageing are activated over time, the structure and appearance of skin changes, and there’s no way to change it back…Until now.\r\n\r\nIntroducing Forever Young BBL™ from Sciton, a revolutionary treatment that sends light energy deep into skin ti boost the bodies natural ability to fight ageing.\r\n<h6>Skin doesn’t just look younger- It’s genetically programmed to be younger!</h6>\r\n<h6>Imagine taking a photo ten years from now and LOOKING BETTER THAN YOU DO TODAY!</h6>\r\nhttps://youtu.be/91Pe4V_VZDY\r\n\r\nSciton BBL™(Broad Band Light) is considered the gold standard non-ablative dermatological platform against which all other anti-ageing skin treatments are measured. Over the past 10 years, BBL™ has cemented its place as number 1 skin rejuvenation treatment among the top plastic surgery and dermatology clinics in the US and Europe.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is Forever Young BBL™?</strong>\r\n\r\nForever Young BBL is an innovative technology that uniquely delivers light therapy in the deeper skin layers targeting the signs of aging and sun damage and effectively provides a more refreshed, rejuvenated and\r\nyouthful appearance.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is gene expression?</strong>\r\n\r\nGene expression is the process by which the information encoded in a gene is used to direct the assembly of a protein molecule. Gene expression is part of how your body creates new cells. Your DNA is a unique blueprint that only you have. Certain genes can express themselves (tuen on or off) based on factors like ageing and other environmental components. As we age, the genes within our skin cells are programmed to express themselves differently than when we were younger.\r\n\r\n<strong>How does Forever Young BBL™ reprograms the age of my skin?</strong>\r\n\r\nBBL™ reaches deep into the cell and activates certain genes associated with youth, while turning off other genes tied to ageing. As a results, you create more of the kinds of proteins and other building blocks you had when you were younger. New skin cells are actually programmed to be younger, giving you beautiful, youthful skin.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is the scientific evidence behind above claims?</strong>\r\n\r\nGround-breaking research performed at Stanford University in the US shows that BBL influences gene expression and changes skin at a molecular level. The study showed that literally hundreds of genes that are known to be associated with younger skin were activated while others, associated with ageing, were turned off.\r\n\r\nBut that’s not all..\r\n<h6>A long-term clinical study showed that patients who received regular BBL treatments over the course of a decade were judged by doctors to appear 11 years younger than their actual age at the study’s end!.</h6>\r\nIn other words, they looked younger than when they started the study!\r\n\r\n<strong>What other type of skin conditions can be treated?</strong>\r\n\r\nForever Young BBL treats a wide variety of conditions including:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Active Acne Breakouts</li>\r\n 	<li>Reversing Sun Damaged Skin</li>\r\n 	<li>Sun Spots, Age Spots, Freckles</li>\r\n 	<li>Facial Capillaries &amp; Rosacea</li>\r\n 	<li>Unwanted Body Hair</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>What Body Areas can be treated?</strong>\r\n\r\nAll areas of the body can be treated with BBL including Face, neck, décolletage (chest), shoulders, arms, hands, back, tummy, legs etc. The most common areas are those most exposed to the damaging effects of sun light.\r\n\r\n<strong>Are Forever Young BBL treatments painful?</strong>\r\n\r\nBBL delivers intense light beams in to the skin which feel warm. In more sensitive areas being treated you may experience some discomfort with Forever Young BBL, however, most patients tolerate the treatment extremely well.\r\n\r\n<strong>How many treatments will I need?</strong>\r\n\r\nThis depends upon the skin condition being treated and the type of skin. BBL has the ability to treat a wide variety of skin conditions like sun spots and freckles in as little as a single treatment session. Your therapist will advise you on a treatment plan to achieve your desired result.\r\n\r\n<strong>Is there downtime associated with Forever Young BBL?</strong>\r\n\r\nAgain, this depends upon the skin condition being treated and the level of energy used. In most cases you can apply makeup immediately so there is virtually no downtime.\r\n\r\n<strong>What aftercare do I need?</strong>\r\n\r\nYou may be sensitive to sunlight and should apply sun screen and other skin care products as directed by your doctor. It is important to follow your doctor’s instruction after your Forever Young BBL treatment.\r\n\r\nTalk to us about scheduling your personal Forever Young BBL treatments. Regular restorative maintenance treatments are recommended for long term improvements to enjoy a more youthful appearance year after year.\r\n\r\n<strong>How many treatments do I need?</strong>\r\n\r\nGenerally, five treatments are administered, once a month.\r\n<figure><img src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/2a-copy-1.jpg\" alt=\"englishsurgeon.com.

Fractional laser rejuvenation has become the most popular method of improving facial skin by removing some of the hallmarks of facial ageing i.e deep lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, sun spots as well as acne and other facial scars.\r\n<h6>It is only by using a variety of different lasers, that the best results may be obtained. We use a variety of lasers in our practice, allowing us to give these amazing results.</h6>\r\nThese lasers include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Accent Radiofrequency – Minimal downtime to give a firming of tissues of the face, neck and jawline</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Fraxel Repair™</strong> – Fractional CO2 Laser (Gold standard in Fractional Skin Resurfacing, 5-10 days down time. Excellent for deep acne scars and wrinkle reduction)</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>ALMA CO2 DOT</strong>– Fractional CO2 Laser for upper and lower eyelid skin tightening and treatment of scars</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Alma Harmony Pixel™</strong> – Fractional Erbium Yag Laser</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Lumenis UltraPulse™</strong> – Gold Standard in Scar Reduction in the world</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Genesis</strong> – Long pulse Nd-YAG laser for deeper tissue tightening</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Syneron eTwo™</strong> – Sublative Fractional Radiowave &amp; Infrared Skin Tightening. (Less downtime, safe for darker skin patients)</li>\r\n 	<li>Iridex 532 nm – for superficial tissue heating and vascular closure</li>\r\n 	<li>Varilite 940 nm – for deep tissue heating and vascular closure</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<section>The use of Laser Skin Resurfacing technology enables greater control in the depth of skin rejuvenation compared to any other forms of skin resurfacing (deep peels and dermabrasions etc).\r\n\r\n</section><strong>So Which Laser Treatment Do I Need?</strong>\r\n\r\nThere are so many laser treatments available today that it is almost impossible for an average person to really get their head around it. Lets us simplify things for you in plane language so you have a basic idea. When it comes to skin resurfacing lasers &amp; light platforms, there are 2 basic type of treatments:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Fractional Skin Resurfacing</li>\r\n 	<li>Full Field Skin Resurfacing</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Fractional Skin Resurfacing</strong> – As the name suggests, a fraction of skin in the target area is treated, separated by small untreated islands of intact skin. This allows deeper penetration of skin by the laser beam, allowing rapid wound healing and is associated with less risk of skin burns. An ideal treatment for deep scars, loose skin, fine lines and wrinkles.\r\n\r\n<strong>Full Field Skin Resurfacing –</strong> As the name suggests, the entire layer of skin in the target area is treated. Full field skin resurfacing is like a deep chemical peel. There are no small areas of intact skin left in the treatment zone. Hence this procedure is associated with better coverage of the treated area but comes with a higher risk of skin burns, prolonged down time and risk of pigmentary changes if patient selection is not optimum.\r\n\r\nFull field skin resurfacing is now a lot less popular than fractional skin resurfacing. However, it remains the treatment of choice for smokers lines (Lines around lips) and eyelid skin tightening.\r\n\r\n<strong>What Are The Most Common Types Of Fractional Skin Lasers?</strong>\r\n\r\nThere are 2 basic types of Fractionated Skin Lasers:\r\n\r\n<strong>Ablative Lasers</strong> – The word “ablate” in dictionary: <em>ablation |əˈbleɪʃ(ə)n| noun</em>\r\n<em>1 the surgical removal of body tissue.</em>\r\n<em>2 the removal of snow and ice from a glacier or iceberg by melting or evaporation.</em>\r\nablate-verb\r\n\r\nAblative Lasers target and evaporate areas of skin by inducing thermal injury zones. These lasers are very powerful and routinely used in surgery to cut tissue as well. Results are powerful and often dramatic. These devices can only be used by qualified medical personnel. There are 2 most common types of Ablative Skin Lasers:\r\n\r\n-Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Lasers – Examples are Fraxel Repair™, Deka DOT™\r\n\r\n-Erbium Yag/ Erbium Glass Lasers – Examples are Alma Harmony Pixel™\r\n\r\n<strong>Uses:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Scars</li>\r\n 	<li>Stretch Marks</li>\r\n 	<li>Facial Lines and Wrinkles</li>\r\n 	<li>Sun Damaged Skin</li>\r\n 	<li>Pigmentation</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Non Ablative Lasers</strong> – As the name suggests, these lasers do not remove or evaporate any skin tissue. Instead, they simply create thermal injury or heat zones in the targeted area to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin tissue in that area. These lasers are gentle, have fewer associated risks and can be used by non medical personnel such as dermal therapists in most States &amp; Territories. Examples are Emerge™ Laser and Clear+Brilliant™ Laser.\r\n\r\n<strong>Uses:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Skin Rejuvenation</li>\r\n 	<li>Pigmentation</li>\r\n 	<li>Enlarged Pores</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Which Skin Treatment Is Right For Me?</strong>\r\n\r\nThis depends upon:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Your skin type</li>\r\n 	<li>Extent of sun damage</li>\r\n 	<li>Budget &amp;</li>\r\n 	<li>Social downtime limitations</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nPatients with darker skin types can not be exposed to high energy laser treatments or deep chemical peels due to the risk of burning and darkening of skin pigment.\r\n\r\nSimilarly, patients who are unable to have red, swollen skin for a few days after a strong laser can not be treated with high energy, deep penetrating treatments.\r\n\r\n<em>At the time of your initial consultation, we will be able to advise you about the best treatment option for you based upon the factors mentioned above.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>How Many Treatment Sessions Would I Need?</strong>\r\n\r\nThis depends upon the type of treatment chosen for you by your clinician. Some high energy, deep penetrating treatments may fix the problem in as little as one session. For less invasive and gentle treatments, multiple sessions (3 to 5) are usually required.\r\n\r\n<strong>Are The Treatments Painful?</strong>\r\n\r\nMost patients find Laser or IPL treatments somewhat uncomfortable but not intolerably painful. We make sure our patients are able to have treatments as painlessly as possible. To achieve this, we utilise:\r\n\r\n-Topical numbing creams\r\n\r\n-Cool air\r\n\r\n-Local anesthetic injections are used when necessary\r\n\r\n<strong>Can I Go Out In the Sun Afterward?</strong>\r\n\r\nUV radiations from excessive sun exposure is the reason why you have the freckles and sun damaged skin. It is critical to avoid direct sun exposure after any skin treatment for first few days and use sun protective clothing, headgear and sun screens to prevent future sun damage.\r\n<h6><strong>Dr BCK Patel MD, FRCS</strong></h6>\r\n<figure><img src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/2a-copy-1.jpg\" alt=\"englishsurgeon.com.

While these lasers are still used to treat deep wrinkles and advance photo-damage, they can mean significant downtime for patients. Not to mention the cost.\r\n\r\nRevlite SI™ is a non-ablative laser that uses Photo-Acoustic Technology Pulse (PTP)energy for quick full-face treatment options with no downtime and minimal discomfort.\r\n\r\n<strong>The effects of age and sun on the skin</strong>\r\n\r\nAs the skin ages, the skin’s collagen and elastic support network breaks down. Lines and wrinkles appear, age spots surface and the facial structure become loose and saggy. Excessive UV exposure (sun light) speeds up this process, especially in people with lighter coloured skin.\r\n<figure><img src=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/IMG_0862-495x400.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0862-495x400\" /></figure>\r\n<figure><img src=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/image2-495x400-1.jpg\" alt=\"image2-495x400-1\" /></figure>\r\n<figure><img src=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/IMG_4581-495x400-1.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_4581-495x400-1\" /></figure>\r\n<figure><img src=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/IMG_4603-495x400-4.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_4603-495x400-4\" /></figure>\r\n<figure><img src=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/IMG_1149-495x400.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1149-495x400\" /></figure>\r\n<h2>Quick Enquiry</h2>\r\nShort on time?

Everything you ever wanted to know about a facelift and a necklift (as performed by Dr. Bhupendra Patel of Patel Plastic Surgery) is presented here. </strong></p><p>A facelift and a necklift is known by many different names: rhytidectomy, facelift, cervico-facial lift, face-and-necklift, lower facelift, etc. Then there are many gimmicky names that are designed to sell the procedure to the public and are best avoided. There is no such thing as a \"weekend lift\", \"no-scar facelift\", \"quicko-facelift\", \"acme facelift\", etc. These are creations of the slick advertising surgeon, all too common and best avoided at all costs. </p><p><strong>Aging of the Face and Neck</strong></p><p>Tempus fugit: aging of the face is inevitable and inexorable. Or as Hippocrates so succinctly put it: \"ars longa, vita brevis\". With the steady march of time, there is loosening of skin, tendons, deeper supporting structures as well as changes in bones, resulting in the well-recognized changes of aging that affect our face and neck. From forehead lines and creases, to drooping brows and eyelids, to crow\'s feet to deep nasolabial and melolabial folds, to jowls, to loss of the jawline, to double and triple chins to neck laxity and bands. And that is just a brief outline of aging, the full discussion of which would take a textbook to discuss. It affects ladies and chaps with equal remorseless persistence!</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Aging as seen in Women</a></h1>		\n											<a href=\"#\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"\">\n							<img src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1.-Aging-of-women.jpg\" title=\"1.-Aging-of-women.jpg\" alt=\"Aging of women to explain facelift and necklift by Dr. Bhupedra C.

The surgery should only be undertaken after care and attention has been paid to the following important points:</p><ul><li>Understanding features of your face and neck that bother you. Not every change needs a facelift. Some can be improved with fillers, botox, lasers, or smaller procedures. Ask!</li><li>Understanding the difference between the many confusing names of facial procedures that are throuwn out to the poor public. Do not get taken in by sleek advertising and fancy offices!</li><li>Establising a proper rapport with your surgeon: communication is the key. We believe that your surgeon should be the only one who always sees you (before and after surgery), the surgeon should communicate with you and the surgeon should ensure your results meet requirements. </li><li><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-cropped-300x129.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"556\" height=\"240\" /></li><li>Word-of-mouth is best to ensure you know of others who have had facelifts by your surgeon so you feel comfortable with your choice.</li><li>Nickeling and diming with discounts can be seductive and dangerous: it is YOUR face, don\'t forget. Choose wisely.</li><li>A proper face and necklift should be designed for your specific needs and not be an out-of-the-box named \"cut here and suture there\" procedure. No two people age the same way, which is why template, quick operations produce average results. Our motto is, loosely translated \"nothing but the best will satisfy us\" (per ardua ad astra). To that end, our before-and-after photographs, patient testimonials and patient-referrals may guide you.</li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">In general, what are the improvements sought in a facelift?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Remembering that many factors have to be considered when predicting the outcomes of facelifts (including race, age, lifestyle, sun exposure, history of smoking, genetic factors, previous surgery, weight gain or loss, etc), these are the areas where improvement is dought and obtained when bespoke face and necklifts are designed:</p><ul><li>Improvement in the lines that run from the nose to the mouth and the mouth to the chin (nasolabial folds and melolabial folds)</li><li>Stronger jawline</li><li>Improvement in jowls</li><li>Improvement in laxity of the skin of the lower face</li><li>Improvement in the laxity of the neck skin</li><li>Improvement in neck bands</li><li>Improvement in the texture of the face and neck skin</li><li>Improvement in fullness in the neck (double chin)</li><li>Improvement in the appearance of the chin (correction of the witch\'s chin or the weak chin)</li><li>Improvement in the appearance of the lips</li><li>Improvement in the corners of the mouth (\"frowny mouth\")</li><li>Establising a proper rapport with your surgeon: communication is the key.

I had been trying to lose weight and been bothered by my appearance (my face) for a long time. You have to make a decision in your life about how you look but also how you feel and I felt energetic and young. You always want to look as good on the outside as you feel on the inside. You never feel as old on the inside and I had been thinking about having the surgery done for five years. After my face and necklift by Dr. Bhupendra Patel, I went to my mother\'s 90th birthday party in Washington. The comments from everyone was \"how come you have a daughter that is so young?\" They could not tell I had had a facelift and necklift. Everyone thought I was 20 years younger!! I also had an endoscopic browlift and blepharoplasty called the hammock lift which has completely changed the way I look and I don\'t feel tired. My friends think I look at least 20 years younger. I am so glad I got my face fixed! I am enjoying life! Dr. Patel kept on asking me to stop smiling as he took my photographs but I just couldn\'t! I love my face but I especially love my neck.

To that end, here are my views on possible dis-advantages of undergoing a facelift:</p><ul><li>Down-time. Most patients will need at least two weeks off work to ensure that most of the healing is well under way. If you need to go to a party of get-together where you don\'t want anyone to see any bruises or swelling, it might be four to six weeks after surgery before that may be done. Everyone heals at different rates. Ans as I say time and again: it takes you 20, 30, 40, 50 years to age, the body IS going to need some weeks to heal! Please do not think you will be different and your healing will be quicker than everyone else\'s. Human physiology, biological aging and healing do not discriminate or favour! Celeris paribus, we are all going to take time to heal!</li><li>Cost must always be considered with any elective procedure</li><li>Your expectations: some people have expectations which are not realistic. For example, a facelift will not make anyone look 20 again. Your expectations should be realistic but ambitious, as are ours for all our patients. Our before-and-after photographs will illustrate what one should endeavour to achieve. </li><li>Every single area of the face and neck will not show an equal improvement: the degree of aging, sun damage, etc will vary from person-to-person and from part of the face to part of the face. Results from a facelift and necklift should be regarded as looking at a whole painting and ot studying individual brush strokes. NOT every wrinkle or line will disappear. Indeed, most will improve, but few will completely disappear. The clavis aurea to a beautiful facelift is the care and attention to detail paid by your surgeon and the patience demonstrated by the patient!         <img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Salkeld.Linda-prepost-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2120\" height=\"1492\" /></li><li>Maintenance: you will continue to age. Therrefore, some changes in the face do develop and will need simple maintenance with lasers or fillers or botox to keep the results looking good long-term.</li><li>Psychological: many patients tell us \"I never thought I would have a facelift!\" This is where no-one should convince you to have a facelift or not to have a facelift. Adults have the ability to self-determine. Seek guidance, not convincing by those around you. If you experience pressure-sales-pitches, run.</li></ul><p><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /> RealSelf</p><p><strong>\"To Dr. Patel about my Facelift Results: </strong>I have spent time today reviewing your point-by-point description of everything you did for me and how you did it; I referred to the before and after photos countless times. I am in absolute awe. Your facelift results are nothing short of miraculous. You are absolutely correct, If you had told me what you intended to do, I would have most likely taken a pass from being confused and fearful of the results. You have a gift. Your skills are beyond my comprehension. You have taken a woman, me, who had spent the better part of 15 years being injected with Juvederm to ward off my hereditary jowls, then the signs of aging. I had gotten to a point, that there was not enough Juvederm to keep up with my aging process. I had resigned myself to forever having my Grandmother’s jowls. I became discouraged. Though I loved Grandma dearly, I did not love her jowls. I also never realized I had such a gobble neck not seeing myself in 3-D on a regular basis. Then I discovered your gifts through Marlene. Though I had always said I would never, ever get a face lift due to fear of a possible adverse outcome, the joy and confidence, plus the fabulous results from Marlene sealed the deal. I can’t even begin to tell you how very pleased and joyful I am by my results thus far and I know they will only improve with time. Thank you for doing such an amazing job for me and on me! <strong>\"</strong> -Toni J</p><ul><li>Bhupendra C.K.

There isn\'t a correct or incorrect age, but there is a correct and incorrect time! I am always talking patients out of having a facelift because they want the durgery done too soon. Our practice is European in our approach and therefore conservative. We will guide you, so that, as the Grail Knight, Lord de Bauvis of St Gobain said at the Holy Grail, you will \"choose wisely.\"</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Reidel-prepost.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Reidel-prepost.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1945\" height=\"855\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Can I choose how much of a facelift I should have?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Instead of falling for all the commercial names of facelifts (weekend lifts, halo lifts, no-bruise lifts!), it is best to consider what bothers you and seek to have the face and necklift designed to meet your needs. It is perfectly possible to choose to be very conservative, intermediate, or aggressive in what one seeks to get from the surgery. To that end, one can divide the approaches to a facelift and necklift into three:</p><ul><li>A full facelift and necklift would entail an improvement in all the aspects listed above and include fat grafts, use of lasers, work on the lips, etc.</li><li>A medium facelift can be done without fat grafts and lasers. This will reduce the degree of improvement you would see in some aspects of yoru face but your recovery is a little faster and the cost lower.</li><li>A \"mini-lift\" is reserved for patients who just want an improvement in the jowls and some improvement in the neck. Here the incisions may be less extensive, and the healing therefore quicker. However, this also means the improvements obtained are more measured.  <a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-3.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2134\" height=\"791\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Where are the incisions made?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Designing incisions specifically tailored to the individual faces is the key to obtaining excellent results. In most patients, the incisions will start from just at the temple tuft of hair, to be hidden inside the tragus and go around the ear to a variable distance up in the groove behind the ear:</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/8.-Ear-incision-technique.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/8.-Ear-incision-technique.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"509\" height=\"275\" /></a></p><p>When a browlift is combined with a facelift, the incision used is shown in diagram a. Otherwise, the incision is as shown in diagram b:</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/9.-Incisions-facelift-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/9.-Incisions-facelift-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"532\" height=\"300\" /></a></p><p>Below are actual results of the incisions on one of our patients.

There are several layers of sutures used, dissolving as well as permanent sutures. The skin sutures are removed between 7 and 14 days after surgery, depending upon a number of factors. In some of our out-of-State and overseas patients, we use the types of sutures that can be left in place longer. We don\'t use staples as the final scars from sutures inserted by a skilled surgeon are always superior to mechanical staples. Staples save the surgeon time. Suturing carefully gives you, the patient, superior results!</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">What kind of anaesthesia will I need?</a></h1>		\n		<p>These procedures can be performed using deep sedation anaesthesia as well as general anaesthesia. Again, we wil look at your general health and previous history and experience with anaesthesia to choose the best level of anaesthesia for you. We work with the best anaesthesiologists who perform superb and properly chosen anaesthesia for our patients.</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">What other procedures are generally done together with facelifts?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Patients may choose to have other procedures like endoscopic browlifts, upper and lower blepharoplasty, cheek lifts, fat grafts, laser, lip augmentation and fillers. If you have specific questions or procedures you are considering, we will discuss them with you during your consultation. </p><p>Many patients will divide facial cosmetic surgery into a top two-thirds of the face and the lower one-third of the face and the neck. To that end, patients will often choose to have what we call the Hammock Lift, which is a combination of an endoscopic browlift, upper and lower blepharoplasty together with cheek lifts. This essentially gives you a top two-thirds of a facelift. Most of these patients will then have a lower facelift and necklift some months (or years) later. An example of the Hammock Lift is shown to the right: it shows the longevity of the procedures. :</p>		\n											<a href=\"#\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"\">\n							<img width=\"1024\" height=\"500\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-1024x500.jpg\" alt=\"Improvement in the top two-thirds of the face using the principle of the Hammock Facelift as designed by Dr. Bhupendra Patel MD of Salt Lake City, Saint George and London, England:\" srcset=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-1024x500.jpg 1024w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-300x146.jpg 300w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-768x375.jpg 768w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs.jpg 1107w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />								</a>\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How much swelling and bruising will I have and for how long?</a></h1>		\n		<p>The swelling after facelifts tends to occur on the cheeks and lower down on the face. You will notice that the swelling descends lower down your face over the first few days. It is not uncommon to get bruising around the area below the ears and the neck. It helps to use ice on-and-off on the cheeks and neck for the first two to three days. The bruising and swelling always get worse for the first four days before gradually decreasing. In some patients, the last vestige of bruising or swelling can take several weeks to resolve. Keep the face moisterized with a face moisterizer at least three times a day for the first three weeks. </p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How much discomfort will I have?</a></h1>		\n		<p>You will experience tightness of your face as well as numbness of your cheeks. The tightness settles within a few days but the numbness takes a number of months to resolve: this is normal. Most patients are not even aware of this after the first few days. It is not uncommon to need prescription pain medication for the first two to three days, after which most of our patients switch to Tylenol or extra-strength Tylenol. </p><p>The neck will feel tight, but this is a good thing as we want to get as much of an improvement in the neck as possible: the neck makes the face! The more elegant the neck, the more gorgeous the face looks.</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Beautiful Necks Make Beautiful Faces!</a></h1>		\n							<figure>\n											<a href=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Nefertitit-long-neck.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\">\n							<img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Nefertitit-long-neck-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Queen Nefertiti and her lower face and neck illustrate the outcome of a facelift and necklift by Dr. Bhupendra Patel of Salt Lake City, Saint George, and London, England\" />								</a>\n											<figcaption>Nefertiti: Beautiful neck 1370 BC! </figcaption>\n										</figure>\n							<figure>\n											<a href=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Mature-long-neck.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\">\n							<img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Mature-long-neck-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Bhupendra C.

In the immediate postoperative period of the first few days, there will be swelling, some bruising, you will feel tired, and, it is perfectly normal (and common) for my patients to wonder why they did the surgery! This is only human when the swelling, bruising and limitations compromise your normally active social and work life. I remind all my patients to only think of the results which start to show very quickly and not dwell in the necessary swelling, etc. To that end, it helps to be familiar with the following points:</p><ul><li>Wear loose clothing (a button-up shirt, for example) when you come for your surgery. Your clothes will inevitably get wet because of normal oozing after surgery. </li><li>Make sure someone patient brings you to the surgical center and picks you up. We never hurry our surgeries and will keep you as long as is necessary in the postoperative area to ensure you are well enough to be discharged.</li><li>If you are staying in a hotel, ensure you have several pillows and towels. You will have access to ice. It is best to get a room in a quiet part of the hotel. Let the receptionist know you are having surgery with us: most hotels know us well and will be very helpful. Some will even give you a discounted rate if you let them know that you are having surgery with us! We have listed some of the most convenient hotels in our \"out of State and Overseas Patients\" section. </li><li>Keep your head elevated using about three pillows for the first three days (and nights). Avoid keeping your neck flexed for prolonged periods of time: this causes prolonged swelling. When bending, bend at the knees. You co not need to remain in bed: a recliner is fine. You may read if you want or watch television.</li><li>Do not take a shower immediately after your surgery. However, you may shower or take a bath after 24 hours: you may shampoo your hair, get your face wet and even use gentle soap on the face and neck. It is perfectly fine to get your sutures wet in the shower. </li><li>We will apply a special velcro-pressure dressing which we will provide you with. We will show you how to apply it back on after a shower and will ask you to wear it every night for the first two weeks and as much as you can during the daytime for two weeks: this helps to reduce swelling and bruising more quickly.</li><li>You may drink water, clear fluids, 7-Up (this drink, when flat, does not make patients suffer from nausea), clear broth, or tea. You may have a light lunch or dinner as long as you are not nauseated (you wil be prescribed medication for nausea if needed). You can resume normal eating and drinking within 24 hours of surgery. It is wise to refrain from imbibing alcohol for the first three days after surgery. </li><li>Apply ice on your face (frozen peas or crushed ice in a glove work well) on-and-off for 20-30 minutes for the first two to three days.</li><li>You will have ointment prescribed to apply to any eyelid incisions. You may apply artificial tears into your eyes as vision often varies as you heal. There is no need to apply any ointment to the incisions around your ears, other than a regular moisterizer.</li><li>Please make sure you have a good moisterizer like Aquaphor, Lubriderm or Eucerin (or any brand you usually use or even Vaseline) as keeping the skin moist, especially if laser has been used, allows the skin to recover more quickly.</li><li>If you have any eyelid surgery performed at the same time, EVERYONE experiences some degree of blurry vision because of swelling and healing: this is normal. Other than using artificial tears and ice as discussed above, there is no reason to worry. The vision reverts back to normal over a few days, but can sometimes take a few weeks!<a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1966\" height=\"740\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">When can I go back to work?</a></h1>		\n		<p>We have operated on fellow plastic surgeons who are back to work and able to operate within three days. So you may resume work as and when you feel well enough. However, do remember that the body ages over many years and therefore needs some days to a few weeks to heal: we are but mortal!</p><p>Pilots who fly commercial planes and commercial lorry drivers generally need three to four weeks before they are safe enough to resume duties.</p><p>Office-based work can usually be resumed within a few days if you wish.</p><p>Physical work (contractors, builders, painters, etc) will need about 7 - 10 days before they can resume activity, and even then, will have to be careful. <br /><a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-6.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"868\" height=\"401\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">When can I resume exercize and sports?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Tennis and skiing are generally best avoided for two weeks. Walking and gentle treadmill workouts can be resumed within three days. Heavy lifting of weights or vigorous aerobic exercize should be avoided for two weeks.</p><p>Yoga may be resumed in one week, except for the one-handed tree pose, the wounded peacock pose of the Sayanasana pose: NOT recommended for some weeks, even if you are that amazing that you can perform these poses!</p><p>If there are any specific activities you need to know about, kindly ask.  </p><p><a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Patel.Monika-postop-day-49-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Patel.Monika-postop-day-49-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1822\" height=\"1498\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Risks of Facelift &amp; Necklift Surgery</a></h1>		\n		<p>We like to ensure that you are aware of all eventualities and, to that end, kindly ensure you read this section carefully and please ask us any questions you may have prior to surgery. We are always available to go over things again if needed and happy to meet with your family or friends to ensure all questions have been answered. </p><ul><li>Excessive bleeding is a risk. We will insert drains for one to two days if necessary. Remember that we will ask you to stop aspirin, motrin, anti-inflammatory drugs and other such drugs and vitamins that affect blood clotting at least a week prior to surgery. Sometimes, we will insert drains for one to two days if indicated.</li><li>Patients may develop in infection, although this is rare.</li><li>Asymmetry: most of us do not have absolutely symmetrical faces. Indeed, asymmetry of the face is the norm and becomes more obvious as we age. The reason is we all look gorgeous when we are 18 and asymmetries are hidden by the glow of youth! Some of the asymmetry is related to the way we sleep: we call some of the lower facial changes \"pillow lines\" or \"acordian lines\". Other factors that cause asymmetry include familial traits, sun damage, personal habits, etc. As you heal, you WILL see small differences between the right and left sides of the face, especially early in the postoperative period. This is completely normal!</li><li>Scarring of facial incisions is uncommon. Please do not use any anti-scarring tape or gels without permission as they can affect healing. </li><li>Appearance of the face: every one of my patients is concerned about the \"pulled look\" or the \"operated look\" which is so disliked. And quite rightly so. We are well-known to never give our patients this type of result. However, as you heal, swelling can temporarily give you more of a pull on one or the other side. As we design the procedure carefully and aim to get as much of a symmetry as possible by the end of the procedure, you should not worry about swelling and temporary asymmetry. Especially in the first few weeks. Everyone experiences this to some extent and is normal.</li><li>As we are working at all the different layers of the face, you will notice that some nerves wake up sooner than others. You may have slight smile asymmetry. Facial nerve weakness or paralysis isa risk of facelift surgery that every surgeon should discuss and disclose to the patient. We endeavour to avoid this by using our extensive anatomical and surgical experience and skills during surgery. But you should always be aware of this risk.</li><li>IMPORTANT: as you will be healing and generally not in circulation with your friends or workmates for the first few days to weeks, it is common to feel \"down\" and concerned after the surgery. This is very common but it passes. We keep in close touch with our patients, reminding them to keep the old pecker up as things only get better. This response after surgery is nothing abnormal: just us being normal emotional beings. <a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\"><br /></a><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Neck-and-facelift.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Neck-and-facelift.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2008\" height=\"906\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How do I Maintain a beautiful long-term result after my Facelift &amp; Necklift Surgery?</a></h1>		\n		<p>As we continue to shuffle along this moral coil, what with sun exposure, dryness, wind, natural biological aging, day-to-day wear-and-tear, etc, there will be changes that appear after your facelift and necklift. This will include slowly increasing fine lines or wrinkles, mild depression of facial tissues (as we lose fat with age), gravity-related changes with some loosening of facial tissues, etc. Most of our patients will see us every six months or so: when indicated, in order to maintain the result, we will use filler, lasers, botox, etc as clinic-based treatments to keep the structures firm and youthful. By doing this, we have patients who are many years after their browlifts, belpharoplasties, midface lifts, facelifts and necklifts, who continue to look better than the day before surgery!</p><ul><li>Simple sunscreen and moisterizer use is advisable to protect the skin from the vagaries of heat, dryness, wind and sun.</li><li>Some patients need to improve red spots, broken veins or brown spots which afflict the face for many reasons: these are treated in clinic when the patient wishes to have this improvement using our Advanced Fotofacial and other laser treatments. You can see the types of skin improvement we are talking about in the before-and-after photos under those sections.</li><li>As some deeper loosening invariably occurs, we will use deeper radiofrequency treatments intermittently to keep the appearance as beautiful as we can, without repeat surgery. This is often combined with fillers. Over many years, some patients may need a small procedure which we call a mini-lift. </li></ul>		\n							<figure>\n											<a href=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-and-necklift.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\">\n							<img width=\"768\" height=\"611\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-and-necklift-768x611.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Bhupendra C.

Everything you ever wanted to know about a facelift and a necklift (as performed by Dr. Bhupendra Patel of Patel Plastic Surgery) is presented here. </strong></p><p>A facelift and a necklift is known by many different names: rhytidectomy, facelift, cervico-facial lift, face-and-necklift, lower facelift, etc. Then there are many gimmicky names that are designed to sell the procedure to the public and are best avoided. There is no such thing as a \"weekend lift\", \"no-scar facelift\", \"quicko-facelift\", \"acme facelift\", etc. These are creations of the slick advertising surgeon, all too common and best avoided at all costs. </p><p><strong>Aging of the Face and Neck</strong></p><p>Tempus fugit: aging of the face is inevitable and inexorable. Or as Hippocrates so succinctly put it: \"ars longa, vita brevis\". With the steady march of time, there is loosening of skin, tendons, deeper supporting structures as well as changes in bones, resulting in the well-recognized changes of aging that affect our face and neck. From forehead lines and creases, to drooping brows and eyelids, to crow\'s feet to deep nasolabial and melolabial folds, to jowls, to loss of the jawline, to double and triple chins to neck laxity and bands. And that is just a brief outline of aging, the full discussion of which would take a textbook to discuss.

The surgery should only be undertaken after care and attention has been paid to the following important points:</p><ul><li>Understanding features of your face and neck that bother you. Not every change needs a facelift. Some can be improved with fillers, botox, lasers, or smaller procedures. Ask!</li><li>Understanding the difference between the many confusing names of facial procedures that are throuwn out to the poor public. Do not get taken in by sleek advertising and fancy offices!</li><li>Establising a proper rapport with your surgeon: communication is the key. We believe that your surgeon should be the only one who always sees you (before and after surgery), the surgeon should communicate with you and the surgeon should ensure your results meet requirements. </li><li><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-cropped-300x129.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"556\" height=\"240\" /></li><li>Word-of-mouth is best to ensure you know of others who have had facelifts by your surgeon so you feel comfortable with your choice.</li><li>Nickeling and diming with discounts can be seductive and dangerous: it is YOUR face, don\'t forget. Choose wisely.</li><li>A proper face and necklift should be designed for your specific needs and not be an out-of-the-box named \"cut here and suture there\" procedure. No two people age the same way, which is why template, quick operations produce average results. Our motto is, loosely translated \"nothing but the best will satisfy us\" (per ardua ad astra). To that end, our before-and-after photographs, patient testimonials and patient-referrals may guide you.</li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">In general, what are the improvements sought in a facelift?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Remembering that many factors have to be considered when predicting the outcomes of facelifts (including race, age, lifestyle, sun exposure, history of smoking, genetic factors, previous surgery, weight gain or loss, etc), these are the areas where improvement is dought and obtained when bespoke face and necklifts are designed:</p><ul><li>Improvement in the lines that run from the nose to the mouth and the mouth to the chin (nasolabial folds and melolabial folds)</li><li>Stronger jawline</li><li>Improvement in jowls</li><li>Improvement in laxity of the skin of the lower face</li><li>Improvement in the laxity of the neck skin</li><li>Improvement in neck bands</li><li>Improvement in the texture of the face and neck skin</li><li>Improvement in fullness in the neck (double chin)</li><li>Improvement in the appearance of the chin (correction of the witch\'s chin or the weak chin)</li><li>Improvement in the appearance of the lips</li><li>Improvement in the corners of the mouth (\"frowny mouth\")</li><li>Establising a proper rapport with your surgeon: communication is the key.

You have to make a decision in your life about how you look but also how you feel and I felt energetic and young. You always want to look as good on the outside as you feel on the inside. You never feel as old on the inside and I had been thinking about having the surgery done for five years. After my face and necklift by Dr. Bhupendra Patel, I went to my mother\'s 90th birthday party in Washington. The comments from everyone was \"how come you have a daughter that is so young?\" They could not tell I had had a facelift and necklift. Everyone thought I was 20 years younger!! I also had an endoscopic browlift and blepharoplasty called the hammock lift which has completely changed the way I look and I don\'t feel tired. My friends think I look at least 20 years younger. I am so glad I got my face fixed! I am enjoying life! Dr. Patel kept on asking me to stop smiling as he took my photographs but I just couldn\'t! I love my face but I especially love my neck. Dr. Patel told me that every young woman should be reminded to enjoy her long neck and firm jawline while they can because father time catcheth up with us all!

To that end, here are my views on possible dis-advantages of undergoing a facelift:</p><ul><li>Down-time. Most patients will need at least two weeks off work to ensure that most of the healing is well under way. If you need to go to a party of get-together where you don\'t want anyone to see any bruises or swelling, it might be four to six weeks after surgery before that may be done. Everyone heals at different rates. Ans as I say time and again: it takes you 20, 30, 40, 50 years to age, the body IS going to need some weeks to heal! Please do not think you will be different and your healing will be quicker than everyone else\'s. Human physiology, biological aging and healing do not discriminate or favour! Celeris paribus, we are all going to take time to heal!</li><li>Cost must always be considered with any elective procedure</li><li>Your expectations: some people have expectations which are not realistic. For example, a facelift will not make anyone look 20 again. Your expectations should be realistic but ambitious, as are ours for all our patients. Our before-and-after photographs will illustrate what one should endeavour to achieve. </li><li>Every single area of the face and neck will not show an equal improvement: the degree of aging, sun damage, etc will vary from person-to-person and from part of the face to part of the face. Results from a facelift and necklift should be regarded as looking at a whole painting and ot studying individual brush strokes. NOT every wrinkle or line will disappear. Indeed, most will improve, but few will completely disappear. The clavis aurea to a beautiful facelift is the care and attention to detail paid by your surgeon and the patience demonstrated by the patient!         <img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Salkeld.Linda-prepost-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2120\" height=\"1492\" /></li><li>Maintenance: you will continue to age. Therrefore, some changes in the face do develop and will need simple maintenance with lasers or fillers or botox to keep the results looking good long-term.</li><li>Psychological: many patients tell us \"I never thought I would have a facelift!\" This is where no-one should convince you to have a facelift or not to have a facelift. Adults have the ability to self-determine. Seek guidance, not convincing by those around you. If you experience pressure-sales-pitches, run.</li></ul><p><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /> RealSelf</p><p><strong>\"To Dr. Patel about my Facelift Results: </strong>I have spent time today reviewing your point-by-point description of everything you did for me and how you did it; I referred to the before and after photos countless times. I am in absolute awe. Your facelift results are nothing short of miraculous. You are absolutely correct, If you had told me what you intended to do, I would have most likely taken a pass from being confused and fearful of the results. You have a gift. Your skills are beyond my comprehension. You have taken a woman, me, who had spent the better part of 15 years being injected with Juvederm to ward off my hereditary jowls, then the signs of aging. I had gotten to a point, that there was not enough Juvederm to keep up with my aging process. I had resigned myself to forever having my Grandmother’s jowls. I became discouraged. Though I loved Grandma dearly, I did not love her jowls. I also never realized I had such a gobble neck not seeing myself in 3-D on a regular basis. Then I discovered your gifts through Marlene. Though I had always said I would never, ever get a face lift due to fear of a possible adverse outcome, the joy and confidence, plus the fabulous results from Marlene sealed the deal. I can’t even begin to tell you how very pleased and joyful I am by my results thus far and I know they will only improve with time. Thank you for doing such an amazing job for me and on me! <strong>\"</strong> -Toni J</p><ul><li>Bhupendra C.K.

There isn\'t a correct or incorrect age, but there is a correct and incorrect time! I am always talking patients out of having a facelift because they want the durgery done too soon. Our practice is European in our approach and therefore conservative. We will guide you, so that, as the Grail Knight, Lord de Bauvis of St Gobain said at the Holy Grail, you will \"choose wisely.\"</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Reidel-prepost.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Reidel-prepost.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1945\" height=\"855\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Can I choose how much of a facelift I should have?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Instead of falling for all the commercial names of facelifts (weekend lifts, halo lifts, no-bruise lifts!), it is best to consider what bothers you and seek to have the face and necklift designed to meet your needs. It is perfectly possible to choose to be very conservative, intermediate, or aggressive in what one seeks to get from the surgery. To that end, one can divide the approaches to a facelift and necklift into three:</p><ul><li>A full facelift and necklift would entail an improvement in all the aspects listed above and include fat grafts, use of lasers, work on the lips, etc.</li><li>A medium facelift can be done without fat grafts and lasers. This will reduce the degree of improvement you would see in some aspects of yoru face but your recovery is a little faster and the cost lower.</li><li>A \"mini-lift\" is reserved for patients who just want an improvement in the jowls and some improvement in the neck. Here the incisions may be less extensive, and the healing therefore quicker. However, this also means the improvements obtained are more measured.  <a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-3.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2134\" height=\"791\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Where are the incisions made?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Designing incisions specifically tailored to the individual faces is the key to obtaining excellent results. In most patients, the incisions will start from just at the temple tuft of hair, to be hidden inside the tragus and go around the ear to a variable distance up in the groove behind the ear:</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/8.-Ear-incision-technique.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/8.-Ear-incision-technique.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"509\" height=\"275\" /></a></p><p>When a browlift is combined with a facelift, the incision used is shown in diagram a. Otherwise, the incision is as shown in diagram b:</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/9.-Incisions-facelift-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/9.-Incisions-facelift-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"532\" height=\"300\" /></a></p><p>Below are actual results of the incisions on one of our patients.

There are several layers of sutures used, dissolving as well as permanent sutures. The skin sutures are removed between 7 and 14 days after surgery, depending upon a number of factors. In some of our out-of-State and overseas patients, we use the types of sutures that can be left in place longer. We don\'t use staples as the final scars from sutures inserted by a skilled surgeon are always superior to mechanical staples. Staples save the surgeon time. Suturing carefully gives you, the patient, superior results!</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">What kind of anaesthesia will I need?</a></h1>		\n		<p>These procedures can be performed using deep sedation anaesthesia as well as general anaesthesia. Again, we wil look at your general health and previous history and experience with anaesthesia to choose the best level of anaesthesia for you. We work with the best anaesthesiologists who perform superb and properly chosen anaesthesia for our patients.</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">What other procedures are generally done together with facelifts?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Patients may choose to have other procedures like endoscopic browlifts, upper and lower blepharoplasty, cheek lifts, fat grafts, laser, lip augmentation and fillers. If you have specific questions or procedures you are considering, we will discuss them with you during your consultation. </p><p>Many patients will divide facial cosmetic surgery into a top two-thirds of the face and the lower one-third of the face and the neck. To that end, patients will often choose to have what we call the Hammock Lift, which is a combination of an endoscopic browlift, upper and lower blepharoplasty together with cheek lifts. This essentially gives you a top two-thirds of a facelift. Most of these patients will then have a lower facelift and necklift some months (or years) later. An example of the Hammock Lift is shown to the right: it shows the longevity of the procedures. :</p>		\n											<a href=\"#\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"\">\n							<img width=\"1024\" height=\"500\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-1024x500.jpg\" alt=\"Improvement in the top two-thirds of the face using the principle of the Hammock Facelift as designed by Dr. Bhupendra Patel MD of Salt Lake City, Saint George and London, England:\" srcset=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-1024x500.jpg 1024w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-300x146.jpg 300w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-768x375.jpg 768w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs.jpg 1107w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />								</a>\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How much swelling and bruising will I have and for how long?</a></h1>		\n		<p>The swelling after facelifts tends to occur on the cheeks and lower down on the face. You will notice that the swelling descends lower down your face over the first few days. It is not uncommon to get bruising around the area below the ears and the neck. It helps to use ice on-and-off on the cheeks and neck for the first two to three days. The bruising and swelling always get worse for the first four days before gradually decreasing. In some patients, the last vestige of bruising or swelling can take several weeks to resolve. Keep the face moisterized with a face moisterizer at least three times a day for the first three weeks. </p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How much discomfort will I have?</a></h1>		\n		<p>You will experience tightness of your face as well as numbness of your cheeks. The tightness settles within a few days but the numbness takes a number of months to resolve: this is normal. Most patients are not even aware of this after the first few days. It is not uncommon to need prescription pain medication for the first two to three days, after which most of our patients switch to Tylenol or extra-strength Tylenol. </p><p>The neck will feel tight, but this is a good thing as we want to get as much of an improvement in the neck as possible: the neck makes the face! The more elegant the neck, the more gorgeous the face looks.</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Beautiful Necks Make Beautiful Faces!</a></h1>		\n							<figure>\n											<a href=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Nefertitit-long-neck.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\">\n							<img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Nefertitit-long-neck-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Queen Nefertiti and her lower face and neck illustrate the outcome of a facelift and necklift by Dr. Bhupendra Patel of Salt Lake City, Saint George, and London, England\" />								</a>\n											<figcaption>Nefertiti: Beautiful neck 1370 BC! </figcaption>\n										</figure>\n							<figure>\n											<a href=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Mature-long-neck.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\">\n							<img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Mature-long-neck-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Bhupendra C.

In the immediate postoperative period of the first few days, there will be swelling, some bruising, you will feel tired, and, it is perfectly normal (and common) for my patients to wonder why they did the surgery! This is only human when the swelling, bruising and limitations compromise your normally active social and work life. I remind all my patients to only think of the results which start to show very quickly and not dwell in the necessary swelling, etc. To that end, it helps to be familiar with the following points:</p><ul><li>Wear loose clothing (a button-up shirt, for example) when you come for your surgery. Your clothes will inevitably get wet because of normal oozing after surgery. </li><li>Make sure someone patient brings you to the surgical center and picks you up. We never hurry our surgeries and will keep you as long as is necessary in the postoperative area to ensure you are well enough to be discharged.</li><li>If you are staying in a hotel, ensure you have several pillows and towels. You will have access to ice. It is best to get a room in a quiet part of the hotel. Let the receptionist know you are having surgery with us: most hotels know us well and will be very helpful. Some will even give you a discounted rate if you let them know that you are having surgery with us! We have listed some of the most convenient hotels in our \"out of State and Overseas Patients\" section. </li><li>Keep your head elevated using about three pillows for the first three days (and nights). Avoid keeping your neck flexed for prolonged periods of time: this causes prolonged swelling. When bending, bend at the knees. You co not need to remain in bed: a recliner is fine. You may read if you want or watch television.</li><li>Do not take a shower immediately after your surgery. However, you may shower or take a bath after 24 hours: you may shampoo your hair, get your face wet and even use gentle soap on the face and neck. It is perfectly fine to get your sutures wet in the shower. </li><li>We will apply a special velcro-pressure dressing which we will provide you with. We will show you how to apply it back on after a shower and will ask you to wear it every night for the first two weeks and as much as you can during the daytime for two weeks: this helps to reduce swelling and bruising more quickly.</li><li>You may drink water, clear fluids, 7-Up (this drink, when flat, does not make patients suffer from nausea), clear broth, or tea. You may have a light lunch or dinner as long as you are not nauseated (you wil be prescribed medication for nausea if needed). You can resume normal eating and drinking within 24 hours of surgery. It is wise to refrain from imbibing alcohol for the first three days after surgery. </li><li>Apply ice on your face (frozen peas or crushed ice in a glove work well) on-and-off for 20-30 minutes for the first two to three days.</li><li>You will have ointment prescribed to apply to any eyelid incisions. You may apply artificial tears into your eyes as vision often varies as you heal. There is no need to apply any ointment to the incisions around your ears, other than a regular moisterizer.</li><li>Please make sure you have a good moisterizer like Aquaphor, Lubriderm or Eucerin (or any brand you usually use or even Vaseline) as keeping the skin moist, especially if laser has been used, allows the skin to recover more quickly.</li><li>If you have any eyelid surgery performed at the same time, EVERYONE experiences some degree of blurry vision because of swelling and healing: this is normal. Other than using artificial tears and ice as discussed above, there is no reason to worry. The vision reverts back to normal over a few days, but can sometimes take a few weeks!<a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1966\" height=\"740\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">When can I go back to work?</a></h1>		\n		<p>We have operated on fellow plastic surgeons who are back to work and able to operate within three days. So you may resume work as and when you feel well enough. However, do remember that the body ages over many years and therefore needs some days to a few weeks to heal: we are but mortal!</p><p>Pilots who fly commercial planes and commercial lorry drivers generally need three to four weeks before they are safe enough to resume duties.</p><p>Office-based work can usually be resumed within a few days if you wish.</p><p>Physical work (contractors, builders, painters, etc) will need about 7 - 10 days before they can resume activity, and even then, will have to be careful. <br /><a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-6.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"868\" height=\"401\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">When can I resume exercize and sports?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Tennis and skiing are generally best avoided for two weeks. Walking and gentle treadmill workouts can be resumed within three days. Heavy lifting of weights or vigorous aerobic exercize should be avoided for two weeks.</p><p>Yoga may be resumed in one week, except for the one-handed tree pose, the wounded peacock pose of the Sayanasana pose: NOT recommended for some weeks, even if you are that amazing that you can perform these poses!</p><p>If there are any specific activities you need to know about, kindly ask.  </p><p><a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Patel.Monika-postop-day-49-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Patel.Monika-postop-day-49-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1822\" height=\"1498\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Risks of Facelift &amp; Necklift Surgery</a></h1>		\n		<p>We like to ensure that you are aware of all eventualities and, to that end, kindly ensure you read this section carefully and please ask us any questions you may have prior to surgery. We are always available to go over things again if needed and happy to meet with your family or friends to ensure all questions have been answered. </p><ul><li>Excessive bleeding is a risk. We will insert drains for one to two days if necessary. Remember that we will ask you to stop aspirin, motrin, anti-inflammatory drugs and other such drugs and vitamins that affect blood clotting at least a week prior to surgery. Sometimes, we will insert drains for one to two days if indicated.</li><li>Patients may develop in infection, although this is rare.</li><li>Asymmetry: most of us do not have absolutely symmetrical faces. Indeed, asymmetry of the face is the norm and becomes more obvious as we age. The reason is we all look gorgeous when we are 18 and asymmetries are hidden by the glow of youth! Some of the asymmetry is related to the way we sleep: we call some of the lower facial changes \"pillow lines\" or \"acordian lines\". Other factors that cause asymmetry include familial traits, sun damage, personal habits, etc. As you heal, you WILL see small differences between the right and left sides of the face, especially early in the postoperative period. This is completely normal!</li><li>Scarring of facial incisions is uncommon. Please do not use any anti-scarring tape or gels without permission as they can affect healing. </li><li>Appearance of the face: every one of my patients is concerned about the \"pulled look\" or the \"operated look\" which is so disliked. And quite rightly so. We are well-known to never give our patients this type of result. However, as you heal, swelling can temporarily give you more of a pull on one or the other side. As we design the procedure carefully and aim to get as much of a symmetry as possible by the end of the procedure, you should not worry about swelling and temporary asymmetry. Especially in the first few weeks. Everyone experiences this to some extent and is normal.</li><li>As we are working at all the different layers of the face, you will notice that some nerves wake up sooner than others. You may have slight smile asymmetry. Facial nerve weakness or paralysis isa risk of facelift surgery that every surgeon should discuss and disclose to the patient. We endeavour to avoid this by using our extensive anatomical and surgical experience and skills during surgery. But you should always be aware of this risk.</li><li>IMPORTANT: as you will be healing and generally not in circulation with your friends or workmates for the first few days to weeks, it is common to feel \"down\" and concerned after the surgery. This is very common but it passes. We keep in close touch with our patients, reminding them to keep the old pecker up as things only get better. This response after surgery is nothing abnormal: just us being normal emotional beings. <a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\"><br /></a><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Neck-and-facelift.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Neck-and-facelift.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2008\" height=\"906\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How do I Maintain a beautiful long-term result after my Facelift &amp; Necklift Surgery?</a></h1>		\n		<p>As we continue to shuffle along this moral coil, what with sun exposure, dryness, wind, natural biological aging, day-to-day wear-and-tear, etc, there will be changes that appear after your facelift and necklift. This will include slowly increasing fine lines or wrinkles, mild depression of facial tissues (as we lose fat with age), gravity-related changes with some loosening of facial tissues, etc. Most of our patients will see us every six months or so: when indicated, in order to maintain the result, we will use filler, lasers, botox, etc as clinic-based treatments to keep the structures firm and youthful. By doing this, we have patients who are many years after their browlifts, belpharoplasties, midface lifts, facelifts and necklifts, who continue to look better than the day before surgery!</p><ul><li>Simple sunscreen and moisterizer use is advisable to protect the skin from the vagaries of heat, dryness, wind and sun.</li><li>Some patients need to improve red spots, broken veins or brown spots which afflict the face for many reasons: these are treated in clinic when the patient wishes to have this improvement using our Advanced Fotofacial and other laser treatments. You can see the types of skin improvement we are talking about in the before-and-after photos under those sections.</li><li>As some deeper loosening invariably occurs, we will use deeper radiofrequency treatments intermittently to keep the appearance as beautiful as we can, without repeat surgery. This is often combined with fillers. Over many years, some patients may need a small procedure which we call a mini-lift. </li></ul>		\n							<figure>\n											<a href=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-and-necklift.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\">\n							<img width=\"768\" height=\"611\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-and-necklift-768x611.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Bhupendra C.

Everything you ever wanted to know about a facelift and a necklift (as performed by Dr. Bhupendra Patel of Patel Plastic Surgery) is presented here. </strong></p><p>A facelift and a necklift is known by many different names: rhytidectomy, facelift, cervico-facial lift, face-and-necklift, lower facelift, etc. Then there are many gimmicky names that are designed to sell the procedure to the public and are best avoided. There is no such thing as a \"weekend lift\", \"no-scar facelift\", \"quicko-facelift\", \"acme facelift\", etc. These are creations of the slick advertising surgeon, all too common and best avoided at all costs. </p><p><strong>Aging of the Face and Neck</strong></p><p>Tempus fugit: aging of the face is inevitable and inexorable. Or as Hippocrates so succinctly put it: \"ars longa, vita brevis\". With the steady march of time, there is loosening of skin, tendons, deeper supporting structures as well as changes in bones, resulting in the well-recognized changes of aging that affect our face and neck. From forehead lines and creases, to drooping brows and eyelids, to crow\'s feet to deep nasolabial and melolabial folds, to jowls, to loss of the jawline, to double and triple chins to neck laxity and bands. And that is just a brief outline of aging, the full discussion of which would take a textbook to discuss. It affects ladies and chaps with equal remorseless persistence!</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Aging as seen in Women</a></h1>		\n											<a href=\"#\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"\">\n							<img src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1.-Aging-of-women.jpg\" title=\"1.-Aging-of-women.jpg\" alt=\"Aging of women to explain facelift and necklift by Dr. Bhupedra C.

The surgery should only be undertaken after care and attention has been paid to the following important points:</p><ul><li>Understanding features of your face and neck that bother you. Not every change needs a facelift. Some can be improved with fillers, botox, lasers, or smaller procedures. Ask!</li><li>Understanding the difference between the many confusing names of facial procedures that are throuwn out to the poor public. Do not get taken in by sleek advertising and fancy offices!</li><li>Establising a proper rapport with your surgeon: communication is the key. We believe that your surgeon should be the only one who always sees you (before and after surgery), the surgeon should communicate with you and the surgeon should ensure your results meet requirements. </li><li><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-cropped-300x129.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"556\" height=\"240\" /></li><li>Word-of-mouth is best to ensure you know of others who have had facelifts by your surgeon so you feel comfortable with your choice.</li><li>Nickeling and diming with discounts can be seductive and dangerous: it is YOUR face, don\'t forget. Choose wisely.</li><li>A proper face and necklift should be designed for your specific needs and not be an out-of-the-box named \"cut here and suture there\" procedure. No two people age the same way, which is why template, quick operations produce average results. Our motto is, loosely translated \"nothing but the best will satisfy us\" (per ardua ad astra). To that end, our before-and-after photographs, patient testimonials and patient-referrals may guide you.</li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">In general, what are the improvements sought in a facelift?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Remembering that many factors have to be considered when predicting the outcomes of facelifts (including race, age, lifestyle, sun exposure, history of smoking, genetic factors, previous surgery, weight gain or loss, etc), these are the areas where improvement is dought and obtained when bespoke face and necklifts are designed:</p><ul><li>Improvement in the lines that run from the nose to the mouth and the mouth to the chin (nasolabial folds and melolabial folds)</li><li>Stronger jawline</li><li>Improvement in jowls</li><li>Improvement in laxity of the skin of the lower face</li><li>Improvement in the laxity of the neck skin</li><li>Improvement in neck bands</li><li>Improvement in the texture of the face and neck skin</li><li>Improvement in fullness in the neck (double chin)</li><li>Improvement in the appearance of the chin (correction of the witch\'s chin or the weak chin)</li><li>Improvement in the appearance of the lips</li><li>Improvement in the corners of the mouth (\"frowny mouth\")</li><li>Establising a proper rapport with your surgeon: communication is the key.

You have to make a decision in your life about how you look but also how you feel and I felt energetic and young. You always want to look as good on the outside as you feel on the inside. You never feel as old on the inside and I had been thinking about having the surgery done for five years. After my face and necklift by Dr. Bhupendra Patel, I went to my mother\'s 90th birthday party in Washington. The comments from everyone was \"how come you have a daughter that is so young?\" They could not tell I had had a facelift and necklift. Everyone thought I was 20 years younger!! I also had an endoscopic browlift and blepharoplasty called the hammock lift which has completely changed the way I look and I don\'t feel tired. My friends think I look at least 20 years younger. I am so glad I got my face fixed! I am enjoying life! Dr. Patel kept on asking me to stop smiling as he took my photographs but I just couldn\'t! I love my face but I especially love my neck.

To that end, here are my views on possible dis-advantages of undergoing a facelift:</p><ul><li>Down-time. Most patients will need at least two weeks off work to ensure that most of the healing is well under way. If you need to go to a party of get-together where you don\'t want anyone to see any bruises or swelling, it might be four to six weeks after surgery before that may be done. Everyone heals at different rates. Ans as I say time and again: it takes you 20, 30, 40, 50 years to age, the body IS going to need some weeks to heal! Please do not think you will be different and your healing will be quicker than everyone else\'s. Human physiology, biological aging and healing do not discriminate or favour! Celeris paribus, we are all going to take time to heal!</li><li>Cost must always be considered with any elective procedure</li><li>Your expectations: some people have expectations which are not realistic. For example, a facelift will not make anyone look 20 again. Your expectations should be realistic but ambitious, as are ours for all our patients. Our before-and-after photographs will illustrate what one should endeavour to achieve. </li><li>Every single area of the face and neck will not show an equal improvement: the degree of aging, sun damage, etc will vary from person-to-person and from part of the face to part of the face. Results from a facelift and necklift should be regarded as looking at a whole painting and ot studying individual brush strokes. NOT every wrinkle or line will disappear. Indeed, most will improve, but few will completely disappear. The clavis aurea to a beautiful facelift is the care and attention to detail paid by your surgeon and the patience demonstrated by the patient!         <img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Salkeld.Linda-prepost-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2120\" height=\"1492\" /></li><li>Maintenance: you will continue to age. Therrefore, some changes in the face do develop and will need simple maintenance with lasers or fillers or botox to keep the results looking good long-term.</li><li>Psychological: many patients tell us \"I never thought I would have a facelift!\" This is where no-one should convince you to have a facelift or not to have a facelift. Adults have the ability to self-determine. Seek guidance, not convincing by those around you. If you experience pressure-sales-pitches, run.</li></ul><p><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /> RealSelf</p><p><strong>\"To Dr. Patel about my Facelift Results: </strong>I have spent time today reviewing your point-by-point description of everything you did for me and how you did it; I referred to the before and after photos countless times. I am in absolute awe. Your facelift results are nothing short of miraculous. You are absolutely correct, If you had told me what you intended to do, I would have most likely taken a pass from being confused and fearful of the results. You have a gift. Your skills are beyond my comprehension. You have taken a woman, me, who had spent the better part of 15 years being injected with Juvederm to ward off my hereditary jowls, then the signs of aging. I had gotten to a point, that there was not enough Juvederm to keep up with my aging process. I had resigned myself to forever having my Grandmother’s jowls. I became discouraged. Though I loved Grandma dearly, I did not love her jowls. I also never realized I had such a gobble neck not seeing myself in 3-D on a regular basis. Then I discovered your gifts through Marlene. Though I had always said I would never, ever get a face lift due to fear of a possible adverse outcome, the joy and confidence, plus the fabulous results from Marlene sealed the deal. I can’t even begin to tell you how very pleased and joyful I am by my results thus far and I know they will only improve with time. Thank you for doing such an amazing job for me and on me! <strong>\"</strong> -Toni J</p><ul><li>Bhupendra C.K.

There isn\'t a correct or incorrect age, but there is a correct and incorrect time! I am always talking patients out of having a facelift because they want the durgery done too soon. Our practice is European in our approach and therefore conservative. We will guide you, so that, as the Grail Knight, Lord de Bauvis of St Gobain said at the Holy Grail, you will \"choose wisely.\"</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Reidel-prepost.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Reidel-prepost.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1945\" height=\"855\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Can I choose how much of a facelift I should have?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Instead of falling for all the commercial names of facelifts (weekend lifts, halo lifts, no-bruise lifts!), it is best to consider what bothers you and seek to have the face and necklift designed to meet your needs. It is perfectly possible to choose to be very conservative, intermediate, or aggressive in what one seeks to get from the surgery. To that end, one can divide the approaches to a facelift and necklift into three:</p><ul><li>A full facelift and necklift would entail an improvement in all the aspects listed above and include fat grafts, use of lasers, work on the lips, etc.</li><li>A medium facelift can be done without fat grafts and lasers. This will reduce the degree of improvement you would see in some aspects of yoru face but your recovery is a little faster and the cost lower.</li><li>A \"mini-lift\" is reserved for patients who just want an improvement in the jowls and some improvement in the neck. Here the incisions may be less extensive, and the healing therefore quicker. However, this also means the improvements obtained are more measured.  <a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-3.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2134\" height=\"791\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Where are the incisions made?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Designing incisions specifically tailored to the individual faces is the key to obtaining excellent results. In most patients, the incisions will start from just at the temple tuft of hair, to be hidden inside the tragus and go around the ear to a variable distance up in the groove behind the ear:</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/8.-Ear-incision-technique.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/8.-Ear-incision-technique.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"509\" height=\"275\" /></a></p><p>When a browlift is combined with a facelift, the incision used is shown in diagram a. Otherwise, the incision is as shown in diagram b:</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/9.-Incisions-facelift-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/9.-Incisions-facelift-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"532\" height=\"300\" /></a></p><p>Below are actual results of the incisions on one of our patients.

There are several layers of sutures used, dissolving as well as permanent sutures. The skin sutures are removed between 7 and 14 days after surgery, depending upon a number of factors. In some of our out-of-State and overseas patients, we use the types of sutures that can be left in place longer. We don\'t use staples as the final scars from sutures inserted by a skilled surgeon are always superior to mechanical staples. Staples save the surgeon time. Suturing carefully gives you, the patient, superior results!</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">What kind of anaesthesia will I need?</a></h1>		\n		<p>These procedures can be performed using deep sedation anaesthesia as well as general anaesthesia. Again, we wil look at your general health and previous history and experience with anaesthesia to choose the best level of anaesthesia for you. We work with the best anaesthesiologists who perform superb and properly chosen anaesthesia for our patients.</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">What other procedures are generally done together with facelifts?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Patients may choose to have other procedures like endoscopic browlifts, upper and lower blepharoplasty, cheek lifts, fat grafts, laser, lip augmentation and fillers. If you have specific questions or procedures you are considering, we will discuss them with you during your consultation. </p><p>Many patients will divide facial cosmetic surgery into a top two-thirds of the face and the lower one-third of the face and the neck. To that end, patients will often choose to have what we call the Hammock Lift, which is a combination of an endoscopic browlift, upper and lower blepharoplasty together with cheek lifts. This essentially gives you a top two-thirds of a facelift. Most of these patients will then have a lower facelift and necklift some months (or years) later. An example of the Hammock Lift is shown to the right: it shows the longevity of the procedures. :</p>		\n											<a href=\"#\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"\">\n							<img width=\"1024\" height=\"500\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-1024x500.jpg\" alt=\"Improvement in the top two-thirds of the face using the principle of the Hammock Facelift as designed by Dr. Bhupendra Patel MD of Salt Lake City, Saint George and London, England:\" srcset=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-1024x500.jpg 1024w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-300x146.jpg 300w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-768x375.jpg 768w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs.jpg 1107w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />								</a>\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How much swelling and bruising will I have and for how long?</a></h1>		\n		<p>The swelling after facelifts tends to occur on the cheeks and lower down on the face. You will notice that the swelling descends lower down your face over the first few days. It is not uncommon to get bruising around the area below the ears and the neck. It helps to use ice on-and-off on the cheeks and neck for the first two to three days. The bruising and swelling always get worse for the first four days before gradually decreasing. In some patients, the last vestige of bruising or swelling can take several weeks to resolve. Keep the face moisterized with a face moisterizer at least three times a day for the first three weeks. </p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How much discomfort will I have?</a></h1>		\n		<p>You will experience tightness of your face as well as numbness of your cheeks. The tightness settles within a few days but the numbness takes a number of months to resolve: this is normal. Most patients are not even aware of this after the first few days. It is not uncommon to need prescription pain medication for the first two to three days, after which most of our patients switch to Tylenol or extra-strength Tylenol. </p><p>The neck will feel tight, but this is a good thing as we want to get as much of an improvement in the neck as possible: the neck makes the face! The more elegant the neck, the more gorgeous the face looks.</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Beautiful Necks Make Beautiful Faces!</a></h1>		\n							<figure>\n											<a href=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Nefertitit-long-neck.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\">\n							<img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Nefertitit-long-neck-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Queen Nefertiti and her lower face and neck illustrate the outcome of a facelift and necklift by Dr. Bhupendra Patel of Salt Lake City, Saint George, and London, England\" />								</a>\n											<figcaption>Nefertiti: Beautiful neck 1370 BC! </figcaption>\n										</figure>\n							<figure>\n											<a href=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Mature-long-neck.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\">\n							<img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Mature-long-neck-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Bhupendra C.

In the immediate postoperative period of the first few days, there will be swelling, some bruising, you will feel tired, and, it is perfectly normal (and common) for my patients to wonder why they did the surgery! This is only human when the swelling, bruising and limitations compromise your normally active social and work life. I remind all my patients to only think of the results which start to show very quickly and not dwell in the necessary swelling, etc. To that end, it helps to be familiar with the following points:</p><ul><li>Wear loose clothing (a button-up shirt, for example) when you come for your surgery. Your clothes will inevitably get wet because of normal oozing after surgery. </li><li>Make sure someone patient brings you to the surgical center and picks you up. We never hurry our surgeries and will keep you as long as is necessary in the postoperative area to ensure you are well enough to be discharged.</li><li>If you are staying in a hotel, ensure you have several pillows and towels. You will have access to ice. It is best to get a room in a quiet part of the hotel. Let the receptionist know you are having surgery with us: most hotels know us well and will be very helpful. Some will even give you a discounted rate if you let them know that you are having surgery with us! We have listed some of the most convenient hotels in our \"out of State and Overseas Patients\" section. </li><li>Keep your head elevated using about three pillows for the first three days (and nights). Avoid keeping your neck flexed for prolonged periods of time: this causes prolonged swelling. When bending, bend at the knees. You co not need to remain in bed: a recliner is fine. You may read if you want or watch television.</li><li>Do not take a shower immediately after your surgery. However, you may shower or take a bath after 24 hours: you may shampoo your hair, get your face wet and even use gentle soap on the face and neck. It is perfectly fine to get your sutures wet in the shower. </li><li>We will apply a special velcro-pressure dressing which we will provide you with. We will show you how to apply it back on after a shower and will ask you to wear it every night for the first two weeks and as much as you can during the daytime for two weeks: this helps to reduce swelling and bruising more quickly.</li><li>You may drink water, clear fluids, 7-Up (this drink, when flat, does not make patients suffer from nausea), clear broth, or tea. You may have a light lunch or dinner as long as you are not nauseated (you wil be prescribed medication for nausea if needed). You can resume normal eating and drinking within 24 hours of surgery. It is wise to refrain from imbibing alcohol for the first three days after surgery. </li><li>Apply ice on your face (frozen peas or crushed ice in a glove work well) on-and-off for 20-30 minutes for the first two to three days.</li><li>You will have ointment prescribed to apply to any eyelid incisions. You may apply artificial tears into your eyes as vision often varies as you heal. There is no need to apply any ointment to the incisions around your ears, other than a regular moisterizer.</li><li>Please make sure you have a good moisterizer like Aquaphor, Lubriderm or Eucerin (or any brand you usually use or even Vaseline) as keeping the skin moist, especially if laser has been used, allows the skin to recover more quickly.</li><li>If you have any eyelid surgery performed at the same time, EVERYONE experiences some degree of blurry vision because of swelling and healing: this is normal. Other than using artificial tears and ice as discussed above, there is no reason to worry. The vision reverts back to normal over a few days, but can sometimes take a few weeks!<a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1966\" height=\"740\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">When can I go back to work?</a></h1>		\n		<p>We have operated on fellow plastic surgeons who are back to work and able to operate within three days. So you may resume work as and when you feel well enough. However, do remember that the body ages over many years and therefore needs some days to a few weeks to heal: we are but mortal!</p><p>Pilots who fly commercial planes and commercial lorry drivers generally need three to four weeks before they are safe enough to resume duties.</p><p>Office-based work can usually be resumed within a few days if you wish.</p><p>Physical work (contractors, builders, painters, etc) will need about 7 - 10 days before they can resume activity, and even then, will have to be careful. <br /><a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-6.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"868\" height=\"401\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">When can I resume exercize and sports?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Tennis and skiing are generally best avoided for two weeks. Walking and gentle treadmill workouts can be resumed within three days. Heavy lifting of weights or vigorous aerobic exercize should be avoided for two weeks.</p><p>Yoga may be resumed in one week, except for the one-handed tree pose, the wounded peacock pose of the Sayanasana pose: NOT recommended for some weeks, even if you are that amazing that you can perform these poses!</p><p>If there are any specific activities you need to know about, kindly ask.  </p><p><a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Patel.Monika-postop-day-49-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Patel.Monika-postop-day-49-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1822\" height=\"1498\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Risks of Facelift &amp; Necklift Surgery</a></h1>		\n		<p>We like to ensure that you are aware of all eventualities and, to that end, kindly ensure you read this section carefully and please ask us any questions you may have prior to surgery. We are always available to go over things again if needed and happy to meet with your family or friends to ensure all questions have been answered. </p><ul><li>Excessive bleeding is a risk. We will insert drains for one to two days if necessary. Remember that we will ask you to stop aspirin, motrin, anti-inflammatory drugs and other such drugs and vitamins that affect blood clotting at least a week prior to surgery. Sometimes, we will insert drains for one to two days if indicated.</li><li>Patients may develop in infection, although this is rare.</li><li>Asymmetry: most of us do not have absolutely symmetrical faces. Indeed, asymmetry of the face is the norm and becomes more obvious as we age. The reason is we all look gorgeous when we are 18 and asymmetries are hidden by the glow of youth! Some of the asymmetry is related to the way we sleep: we call some of the lower facial changes \"pillow lines\" or \"acordian lines\". Other factors that cause asymmetry include familial traits, sun damage, personal habits, etc. As you heal, you WILL see small differences between the right and left sides of the face, especially early in the postoperative period. This is completely normal!</li><li>Scarring of facial incisions is uncommon. Please do not use any anti-scarring tape or gels without permission as they can affect healing. </li><li>Appearance of the face: every one of my patients is concerned about the \"pulled look\" or the \"operated look\" which is so disliked. And quite rightly so. We are well-known to never give our patients this type of result. However, as you heal, swelling can temporarily give you more of a pull on one or the other side. As we design the procedure carefully and aim to get as much of a symmetry as possible by the end of the procedure, you should not worry about swelling and temporary asymmetry. Especially in the first few weeks. Everyone experiences this to some extent and is normal.</li><li>As we are working at all the different layers of the face, you will notice that some nerves wake up sooner than others. You may have slight smile asymmetry. Facial nerve weakness or paralysis isa risk of facelift surgery that every surgeon should discuss and disclose to the patient. We endeavour to avoid this by using our extensive anatomical and surgical experience and skills during surgery. But you should always be aware of this risk.</li><li>IMPORTANT: as you will be healing and generally not in circulation with your friends or workmates for the first few days to weeks, it is common to feel \"down\" and concerned after the surgery. This is very common but it passes. We keep in close touch with our patients, reminding them to keep the old pecker up as things only get better. This response after surgery is nothing abnormal: just us being normal emotional beings. <a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\"><br /></a><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Neck-and-facelift.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Neck-and-facelift.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2008\" height=\"906\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How do I Maintain a beautiful long-term result after my Facelift &amp; Necklift Surgery?</a></h1>		\n		<p>As we continue to shuffle along this moral coil, what with sun exposure, dryness, wind, natural biological aging, day-to-day wear-and-tear, etc, there will be changes that appear after your facelift and necklift. This will include slowly increasing fine lines or wrinkles, mild depression of facial tissues (as we lose fat with age), gravity-related changes with some loosening of facial tissues, etc. Most of our patients will see us every six months or so: when indicated, in order to maintain the result, we will use filler, lasers, botox, etc as clinic-based treatments to keep the structures firm and youthful. By doing this, we have patients who are many years after their browlifts, belpharoplasties, midface lifts, facelifts and necklifts, who continue to look better than the day before surgery!</p><ul><li>Simple sunscreen and moisterizer use is advisable to protect the skin from the vagaries of heat, dryness, wind and sun.</li><li>Some patients need to improve red spots, broken veins or brown spots which afflict the face for many reasons: these are treated in clinic when the patient wishes to have this improvement using our Advanced Fotofacial and other laser treatments. You can see the types of skin improvement we are talking about in the before-and-after photos under those sections.</li><li>As some deeper loosening invariably occurs, we will use deeper radiofrequency treatments intermittently to keep the appearance as beautiful as we can, without repeat surgery. This is often combined with fillers. Over many years, some patients may need a small procedure which we call a mini-lift. </li></ul>		\n							<figure>\n											<a href=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-and-necklift.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\">\n							<img width=\"768\" height=\"611\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-and-necklift-768x611.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Bhupendra C.

Everything you ever wanted to know about a facelift and a necklift (as performed by Dr. Bhupendra Patel of Patel Plastic Surgery) is presented here. </strong></p><p>A facelift and a necklift is known by many different names: rhytidectomy, facelift, cervico-facial lift, face-and-necklift, lower facelift, etc. Then there are many gimmicky names that are designed to sell the procedure to the public and are best avoided. There is no such thing as a \"weekend lift\", \"no-scar facelift\", \"quicko-facelift\", \"acme facelift\", etc. These are creations of the slick advertising surgeon, all too common and best avoided at all costs. </p><p><strong>Aging of the Face and Neck</strong></p><p>Tempus fugit: aging of the face is inevitable and inexorable. Or as Hippocrates so succinctly put it: \"ars longa, vita brevis\". With the steady march of time, there is loosening of skin, tendons, deeper supporting structures as well as changes in bones, resulting in the well-recognized changes of aging that affect our face and neck. From forehead lines and creases, to drooping brows and eyelids, to crow\'s feet to deep nasolabial and melolabial folds, to jowls, to loss of the jawline, to double and triple chins to neck laxity and bands. And that is just a brief outline of aging, the full discussion of which would take a textbook to discuss.

The surgery should only be undertaken after care and attention has been paid to the following important points:</p><ul><li>Understanding features of your face and neck that bother you. Not every change needs a facelift. Some can be improved with fillers, botox, lasers, or smaller procedures. Ask!</li><li>Understanding the difference between the many confusing names of facial procedures that are throuwn out to the poor public. Do not get taken in by sleek advertising and fancy offices!</li><li>Establising a proper rapport with your surgeon: communication is the key. We believe that your surgeon should be the only one who always sees you (before and after surgery), the surgeon should communicate with you and the surgeon should ensure your results meet requirements. </li><li><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-cropped-300x129.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"556\" height=\"240\" /></li><li>Word-of-mouth is best to ensure you know of others who have had facelifts by your surgeon so you feel comfortable with your choice.</li><li>Nickeling and diming with discounts can be seductive and dangerous: it is YOUR face, don\'t forget. Choose wisely.</li><li>A proper face and necklift should be designed for your specific needs and not be an out-of-the-box named \"cut here and suture there\" procedure. No two people age the same way, which is why template, quick operations produce average results. Our motto is, loosely translated \"nothing but the best will satisfy us\" (per ardua ad astra). To that end, our before-and-after photographs, patient testimonials and patient-referrals may guide you.</li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">In general, what are the improvements sought in a facelift?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Remembering that many factors have to be considered when predicting the outcomes of facelifts (including race, age, lifestyle, sun exposure, history of smoking, genetic factors, previous surgery, weight gain or loss, etc), these are the areas where improvement is dought and obtained when bespoke face and necklifts are designed:</p><ul><li>Improvement in the lines that run from the nose to the mouth and the mouth to the chin (nasolabial folds and melolabial folds)</li><li>Stronger jawline</li><li>Improvement in jowls</li><li>Improvement in laxity of the skin of the lower face</li><li>Improvement in the laxity of the neck skin</li><li>Improvement in neck bands</li><li>Improvement in the texture of the face and neck skin</li><li>Improvement in fullness in the neck (double chin)</li><li>Improvement in the appearance of the chin (correction of the witch\'s chin or the weak chin)</li><li>Improvement in the appearance of the lips</li><li>Improvement in the corners of the mouth (\"frowny mouth\")</li><li>Establising a proper rapport with your surgeon: communication is the key.

You have to make a decision in your life about how you look but also how you feel and I felt energetic and young. You always want to look as good on the outside as you feel on the inside. You never feel as old on the inside and I had been thinking about having the surgery done for five years. After my face and necklift by Dr. Bhupendra Patel, I went to my mother\'s 90th birthday party in Washington. The comments from everyone was \"how come you have a daughter that is so young?\" They could not tell I had had a facelift and necklift. Everyone thought I was 20 years younger!! I also had an endoscopic browlift and blepharoplasty called the hammock lift which has completely changed the way I look and I don\'t feel tired. My friends think I look at least 20 years younger. I am so glad I got my face fixed! I am enjoying life! Dr. Patel kept on asking me to stop smiling as he took my photographs but I just couldn\'t! I love my face but I especially love my neck. Dr. Patel told me that every young woman should be reminded to enjoy her long neck and firm jawline while they can because father time catcheth up with us all!

To that end, here are my views on possible dis-advantages of undergoing a facelift:</p><ul><li>Down-time. Most patients will need at least two weeks off work to ensure that most of the healing is well under way. If you need to go to a party of get-together where you don\'t want anyone to see any bruises or swelling, it might be four to six weeks after surgery before that may be done. Everyone heals at different rates. Ans as I say time and again: it takes you 20, 30, 40, 50 years to age, the body IS going to need some weeks to heal! Please do not think you will be different and your healing will be quicker than everyone else\'s. Human physiology, biological aging and healing do not discriminate or favour! Celeris paribus, we are all going to take time to heal!</li><li>Cost must always be considered with any elective procedure</li><li>Your expectations: some people have expectations which are not realistic. For example, a facelift will not make anyone look 20 again. Your expectations should be realistic but ambitious, as are ours for all our patients. Our before-and-after photographs will illustrate what one should endeavour to achieve. </li><li>Every single area of the face and neck will not show an equal improvement: the degree of aging, sun damage, etc will vary from person-to-person and from part of the face to part of the face. Results from a facelift and necklift should be regarded as looking at a whole painting and ot studying individual brush strokes. NOT every wrinkle or line will disappear. Indeed, most will improve, but few will completely disappear. The clavis aurea to a beautiful facelift is the care and attention to detail paid by your surgeon and the patience demonstrated by the patient!         <img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Salkeld.Linda-prepost-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2120\" height=\"1492\" /></li><li>Maintenance: you will continue to age. Therrefore, some changes in the face do develop and will need simple maintenance with lasers or fillers or botox to keep the results looking good long-term.</li><li>Psychological: many patients tell us \"I never thought I would have a facelift!\" This is where no-one should convince you to have a facelift or not to have a facelift. Adults have the ability to self-determine. Seek guidance, not convincing by those around you. If you experience pressure-sales-pitches, run.</li></ul><p><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /> RealSelf</p><p><strong>\"To Dr. Patel about my Facelift Results: </strong>I have spent time today reviewing your point-by-point description of everything you did for me and how you did it; I referred to the before and after photos countless times. I am in absolute awe. Your facelift results are nothing short of miraculous. You are absolutely correct, If you had told me what you intended to do, I would have most likely taken a pass from being confused and fearful of the results. You have a gift. Your skills are beyond my comprehension. You have taken a woman, me, who had spent the better part of 15 years being injected with Juvederm to ward off my hereditary jowls, then the signs of aging. I had gotten to a point, that there was not enough Juvederm to keep up with my aging process. I had resigned myself to forever having my Grandmother’s jowls. I became discouraged. Though I loved Grandma dearly, I did not love her jowls. I also never realized I had such a gobble neck not seeing myself in 3-D on a regular basis. Then I discovered your gifts through Marlene. Though I had always said I would never, ever get a face lift due to fear of a possible adverse outcome, the joy and confidence, plus the fabulous results from Marlene sealed the deal. I can’t even begin to tell you how very pleased and joyful I am by my results thus far and I know they will only improve with time. Thank you for doing such an amazing job for me and on me! <strong>\"</strong> -Toni J</p><ul><li>Bhupendra C.K.

There isn\'t a correct or incorrect age, but there is a correct and incorrect time! I am always talking patients out of having a facelift because they want the durgery done too soon. Our practice is European in our approach and therefore conservative. We will guide you, so that, as the Grail Knight, Lord de Bauvis of St Gobain said at the Holy Grail, you will \"choose wisely.\"</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Reidel-prepost.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Reidel-prepost.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1945\" height=\"855\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Can I choose how much of a facelift I should have?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Instead of falling for all the commercial names of facelifts (weekend lifts, halo lifts, no-bruise lifts!), it is best to consider what bothers you and seek to have the face and necklift designed to meet your needs. It is perfectly possible to choose to be very conservative, intermediate, or aggressive in what one seeks to get from the surgery. To that end, one can divide the approaches to a facelift and necklift into three:</p><ul><li>A full facelift and necklift would entail an improvement in all the aspects listed above and include fat grafts, use of lasers, work on the lips, etc.</li><li>A medium facelift can be done without fat grafts and lasers. This will reduce the degree of improvement you would see in some aspects of yoru face but your recovery is a little faster and the cost lower.</li><li>A \"mini-lift\" is reserved for patients who just want an improvement in the jowls and some improvement in the neck. Here the incisions may be less extensive, and the healing therefore quicker. However, this also means the improvements obtained are more measured.  <a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-3.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2134\" height=\"791\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Where are the incisions made?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Designing incisions specifically tailored to the individual faces is the key to obtaining excellent results. In most patients, the incisions will start from just at the temple tuft of hair, to be hidden inside the tragus and go around the ear to a variable distance up in the groove behind the ear:</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/8.-Ear-incision-technique.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/8.-Ear-incision-technique.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"509\" height=\"275\" /></a></p><p>When a browlift is combined with a facelift, the incision used is shown in diagram a. Otherwise, the incision is as shown in diagram b:</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/9.-Incisions-facelift-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/9.-Incisions-facelift-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"532\" height=\"300\" /></a></p><p>Below are actual results of the incisions on one of our patients.

There are several layers of sutures used, dissolving as well as permanent sutures. The skin sutures are removed between 7 and 14 days after surgery, depending upon a number of factors. In some of our out-of-State and overseas patients, we use the types of sutures that can be left in place longer. We don\'t use staples as the final scars from sutures inserted by a skilled surgeon are always superior to mechanical staples. Staples save the surgeon time. Suturing carefully gives you, the patient, superior results!</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">What kind of anaesthesia will I need?</a></h1>		\n		<p>These procedures can be performed using deep sedation anaesthesia as well as general anaesthesia. Again, we wil look at your general health and previous history and experience with anaesthesia to choose the best level of anaesthesia for you. We work with the best anaesthesiologists who perform superb and properly chosen anaesthesia for our patients.</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">What other procedures are generally done together with facelifts?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Patients may choose to have other procedures like endoscopic browlifts, upper and lower blepharoplasty, cheek lifts, fat grafts, laser, lip augmentation and fillers. If you have specific questions or procedures you are considering, we will discuss them with you during your consultation. </p><p>Many patients will divide facial cosmetic surgery into a top two-thirds of the face and the lower one-third of the face and the neck. To that end, patients will often choose to have what we call the Hammock Lift, which is a combination of an endoscopic browlift, upper and lower blepharoplasty together with cheek lifts. This essentially gives you a top two-thirds of a facelift. Most of these patients will then have a lower facelift and necklift some months (or years) later. An example of the Hammock Lift is shown to the right: it shows the longevity of the procedures. :</p>		\n											<a href=\"#\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"\">\n							<img width=\"1024\" height=\"500\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-1024x500.jpg\" alt=\"Improvement in the top two-thirds of the face using the principle of the Hammock Facelift as designed by Dr. Bhupendra Patel MD of Salt Lake City, Saint George and London, England:\" srcset=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-1024x500.jpg 1024w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-300x146.jpg 300w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-768x375.jpg 768w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs.jpg 1107w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />								</a>\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How much swelling and bruising will I have and for how long?</a></h1>		\n		<p>The swelling after facelifts tends to occur on the cheeks and lower down on the face. You will notice that the swelling descends lower down your face over the first few days. It is not uncommon to get bruising around the area below the ears and the neck. It helps to use ice on-and-off on the cheeks and neck for the first two to three days. The bruising and swelling always get worse for the first four days before gradually decreasing. In some patients, the last vestige of bruising or swelling can take several weeks to resolve. Keep the face moisterized with a face moisterizer at least three times a day for the first three weeks. </p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How much discomfort will I have?</a></h1>		\n		<p>You will experience tightness of your face as well as numbness of your cheeks. The tightness settles within a few days but the numbness takes a number of months to resolve: this is normal. Most patients are not even aware of this after the first few days. It is not uncommon to need prescription pain medication for the first two to three days, after which most of our patients switch to Tylenol or extra-strength Tylenol. </p><p>The neck will feel tight, but this is a good thing as we want to get as much of an improvement in the neck as possible: the neck makes the face! The more elegant the neck, the more gorgeous the face looks.</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Beautiful Necks Make Beautiful Faces!</a></h1>		\n							<figure>\n											<a href=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Nefertitit-long-neck.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\">\n							<img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Nefertitit-long-neck-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Queen Nefertiti and her lower face and neck illustrate the outcome of a facelift and necklift by Dr. Bhupendra Patel of Salt Lake City, Saint George, and London, England\" />								</a>\n											<figcaption>Nefertiti: Beautiful neck 1370 BC! </figcaption>\n										</figure>\n							<figure>\n											<a href=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Mature-long-neck.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\">\n							<img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Mature-long-neck-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Bhupendra C.

In the immediate postoperative period of the first few days, there will be swelling, some bruising, you will feel tired, and, it is perfectly normal (and common) for my patients to wonder why they did the surgery! This is only human when the swelling, bruising and limitations compromise your normally active social and work life. I remind all my patients to only think of the results which start to show very quickly and not dwell in the necessary swelling, etc. To that end, it helps to be familiar with the following points:</p><ul><li>Wear loose clothing (a button-up shirt, for example) when you come for your surgery. Your clothes will inevitably get wet because of normal oozing after surgery. </li><li>Make sure someone patient brings you to the surgical center and picks you up. We never hurry our surgeries and will keep you as long as is necessary in the postoperative area to ensure you are well enough to be discharged.</li><li>If you are staying in a hotel, ensure you have several pillows and towels. You will have access to ice. It is best to get a room in a quiet part of the hotel. Let the receptionist know you are having surgery with us: most hotels know us well and will be very helpful. Some will even give you a discounted rate if you let them know that you are having surgery with us! We have listed some of the most convenient hotels in our \"out of State and Overseas Patients\" section. </li><li>Keep your head elevated using about three pillows for the first three days (and nights). Avoid keeping your neck flexed for prolonged periods of time: this causes prolonged swelling. When bending, bend at the knees. You co not need to remain in bed: a recliner is fine. You may read if you want or watch television.</li><li>Do not take a shower immediately after your surgery. However, you may shower or take a bath after 24 hours: you may shampoo your hair, get your face wet and even use gentle soap on the face and neck. It is perfectly fine to get your sutures wet in the shower. </li><li>We will apply a special velcro-pressure dressing which we will provide you with. We will show you how to apply it back on after a shower and will ask you to wear it every night for the first two weeks and as much as you can during the daytime for two weeks: this helps to reduce swelling and bruising more quickly.</li><li>You may drink water, clear fluids, 7-Up (this drink, when flat, does not make patients suffer from nausea), clear broth, or tea. You may have a light lunch or dinner as long as you are not nauseated (you wil be prescribed medication for nausea if needed). You can resume normal eating and drinking within 24 hours of surgery. It is wise to refrain from imbibing alcohol for the first three days after surgery. </li><li>Apply ice on your face (frozen peas or crushed ice in a glove work well) on-and-off for 20-30 minutes for the first two to three days.</li><li>You will have ointment prescribed to apply to any eyelid incisions. You may apply artificial tears into your eyes as vision often varies as you heal. There is no need to apply any ointment to the incisions around your ears, other than a regular moisterizer.</li><li>Please make sure you have a good moisterizer like Aquaphor, Lubriderm or Eucerin (or any brand you usually use or even Vaseline) as keeping the skin moist, especially if laser has been used, allows the skin to recover more quickly.</li><li>If you have any eyelid surgery performed at the same time, EVERYONE experiences some degree of blurry vision because of swelling and healing: this is normal. Other than using artificial tears and ice as discussed above, there is no reason to worry. The vision reverts back to normal over a few days, but can sometimes take a few weeks!<a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1966\" height=\"740\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">When can I go back to work?</a></h1>		\n		<p>We have operated on fellow plastic surgeons who are back to work and able to operate within three days. So you may resume work as and when you feel well enough. However, do remember that the body ages over many years and therefore needs some days to a few weeks to heal: we are but mortal!</p><p>Pilots who fly commercial planes and commercial lorry drivers generally need three to four weeks before they are safe enough to resume duties.</p><p>Office-based work can usually be resumed within a few days if you wish.</p><p>Physical work (contractors, builders, painters, etc) will need about 7 - 10 days before they can resume activity, and even then, will have to be careful. <br /><a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-6.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"868\" height=\"401\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">When can I resume exercize and sports?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Tennis and skiing are generally best avoided for two weeks. Walking and gentle treadmill workouts can be resumed within three days. Heavy lifting of weights or vigorous aerobic exercize should be avoided for two weeks.</p><p>Yoga may be resumed in one week, except for the one-handed tree pose, the wounded peacock pose of the Sayanasana pose: NOT recommended for some weeks, even if you are that amazing that you can perform these poses!</p><p>If there are any specific activities you need to know about, kindly ask.  </p><p><a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Patel.Monika-postop-day-49-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Patel.Monika-postop-day-49-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1822\" height=\"1498\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Risks of Facelift &amp; Necklift Surgery</a></h1>		\n		<p>We like to ensure that you are aware of all eventualities and, to that end, kindly ensure you read this section carefully and please ask us any questions you may have prior to surgery. We are always available to go over things again if needed and happy to meet with your family or friends to ensure all questions have been answered. </p><ul><li>Excessive bleeding is a risk. We will insert drains for one to two days if necessary. Remember that we will ask you to stop aspirin, motrin, anti-inflammatory drugs and other such drugs and vitamins that affect blood clotting at least a week prior to surgery. Sometimes, we will insert drains for one to two days if indicated.</li><li>Patients may develop in infection, although this is rare.</li><li>Asymmetry: most of us do not have absolutely symmetrical faces. Indeed, asymmetry of the face is the norm and becomes more obvious as we age. The reason is we all look gorgeous when we are 18 and asymmetries are hidden by the glow of youth! Some of the asymmetry is related to the way we sleep: we call some of the lower facial changes \"pillow lines\" or \"acordian lines\". Other factors that cause asymmetry include familial traits, sun damage, personal habits, etc. As you heal, you WILL see small differences between the right and left sides of the face, especially early in the postoperative period. This is completely normal!</li><li>Scarring of facial incisions is uncommon. Please do not use any anti-scarring tape or gels without permission as they can affect healing. </li><li>Appearance of the face: every one of my patients is concerned about the \"pulled look\" or the \"operated look\" which is so disliked. And quite rightly so. We are well-known to never give our patients this type of result. However, as you heal, swelling can temporarily give you more of a pull on one or the other side. As we design the procedure carefully and aim to get as much of a symmetry as possible by the end of the procedure, you should not worry about swelling and temporary asymmetry. Especially in the first few weeks. Everyone experiences this to some extent and is normal.</li><li>As we are working at all the different layers of the face, you will notice that some nerves wake up sooner than others. You may have slight smile asymmetry. Facial nerve weakness or paralysis isa risk of facelift surgery that every surgeon should discuss and disclose to the patient. We endeavour to avoid this by using our extensive anatomical and surgical experience and skills during surgery. But you should always be aware of this risk.</li><li>IMPORTANT: as you will be healing and generally not in circulation with your friends or workmates for the first few days to weeks, it is common to feel \"down\" and concerned after the surgery. This is very common but it passes. We keep in close touch with our patients, reminding them to keep the old pecker up as things only get better. This response after surgery is nothing abnormal: just us being normal emotional beings. <a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\"><br /></a><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Neck-and-facelift.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Neck-and-facelift.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2008\" height=\"906\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How do I Maintain a beautiful long-term result after my Facelift &amp; Necklift Surgery?</a></h1>		\n		<p>As we continue to shuffle along this moral coil, what with sun exposure, dryness, wind, natural biological aging, day-to-day wear-and-tear, etc, there will be changes that appear after your facelift and necklift. This will include slowly increasing fine lines or wrinkles, mild depression of facial tissues (as we lose fat with age), gravity-related changes with some loosening of facial tissues, etc. Most of our patients will see us every six months or so: when indicated, in order to maintain the result, we will use filler, lasers, botox, etc as clinic-based treatments to keep the structures firm and youthful. By doing this, we have patients who are many years after their browlifts, belpharoplasties, midface lifts, facelifts and necklifts, who continue to look better than the day before surgery!</p><ul><li>Simple sunscreen and moisterizer use is advisable to protect the skin from the vagaries of heat, dryness, wind and sun.</li><li>Some patients need to improve red spots, broken veins or brown spots which afflict the face for many reasons: these are treated in clinic when the patient wishes to have this improvement using our Advanced Fotofacial and other laser treatments. You can see the types of skin improvement we are talking about in the before-and-after photos under those sections.</li><li>As some deeper loosening invariably occurs, we will use deeper radiofrequency treatments intermittently to keep the appearance as beautiful as we can, without repeat surgery. This is often combined with fillers. Over many years, some patients may need a small procedure which we call a mini-lift. </li></ul>		\n							<figure>\n											<a href=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-and-necklift.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\">\n							<img width=\"768\" height=\"611\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-and-necklift-768x611.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Bhupendra C.

Everything you ever wanted to know about a facelift and a necklift (as performed by Dr. Bhupendra Patel of Patel Plastic Surgery) is presented here. </strong></p><p>A facelift and a necklift is known by many different names: rhytidectomy, facelift, cervico-facial lift, face-and-necklift, lower facelift, etc. Then there are many gimmicky names that are designed to sell the procedure to the public and are best avoided. There is no such thing as a \"weekend lift\", \"no-scar facelift\", \"quicko-facelift\", \"acme facelift\", etc. These are creations of the slick advertising surgeon, all too common and best avoided at all costs. </p><p><strong>Aging of the Face and Neck</strong></p><p>Tempus fugit: aging of the face is inevitable and inexorable. Or as Hippocrates so succinctly put it: \"ars longa, vita brevis\". With the steady march of time, there is loosening of skin, tendons, deeper supporting structures as well as changes in bones, resulting in the well-recognized changes of aging that affect our face and neck. From forehead lines and creases, to drooping brows and eyelids, to crow\'s feet to deep nasolabial and melolabial folds, to jowls, to loss of the jawline, to double and triple chins to neck laxity and bands. And that is just a brief outline of aging, the full discussion of which would take a textbook to discuss. It affects ladies and chaps with equal remorseless persistence!</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Aging as seen in Women</a></h1>		\n											<a href=\"#\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"\">\n							<img src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1.-Aging-of-women.jpg\" title=\"1.-Aging-of-women.jpg\" alt=\"Aging of women to explain facelift and necklift by Dr. Bhupedra C.

The surgery should only be undertaken after care and attention has been paid to the following important points:</p><ul><li>Understanding features of your face and neck that bother you. Not every change needs a facelift. Some can be improved with fillers, botox, lasers, or smaller procedures. Ask!</li><li>Understanding the difference between the many confusing names of facial procedures that are throuwn out to the poor public. Do not get taken in by sleek advertising and fancy offices!</li><li>Establising a proper rapport with your surgeon: communication is the key. We believe that your surgeon should be the only one who always sees you (before and after surgery), the surgeon should communicate with you and the surgeon should ensure your results meet requirements. </li><li><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-cropped-300x129.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"556\" height=\"240\" /></li><li>Word-of-mouth is best to ensure you know of others who have had facelifts by your surgeon so you feel comfortable with your choice.</li><li>Nickeling and diming with discounts can be seductive and dangerous: it is YOUR face, don\'t forget. Choose wisely.</li><li>A proper face and necklift should be designed for your specific needs and not be an out-of-the-box named \"cut here and suture there\" procedure. No two people age the same way, which is why template, quick operations produce average results. Our motto is, loosely translated \"nothing but the best will satisfy us\" (per ardua ad astra). To that end, our before-and-after photographs, patient testimonials and patient-referrals may guide you.</li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">In general, what are the improvements sought in a facelift?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Remembering that many factors have to be considered when predicting the outcomes of facelifts (including race, age, lifestyle, sun exposure, history of smoking, genetic factors, previous surgery, weight gain or loss, etc), these are the areas where improvement is dought and obtained when bespoke face and necklifts are designed:</p><ul><li>Improvement in the lines that run from the nose to the mouth and the mouth to the chin (nasolabial folds and melolabial folds)</li><li>Stronger jawline</li><li>Improvement in jowls</li><li>Improvement in laxity of the skin of the lower face</li><li>Improvement in the laxity of the neck skin</li><li>Improvement in neck bands</li><li>Improvement in the texture of the face and neck skin</li><li>Improvement in fullness in the neck (double chin)</li><li>Improvement in the appearance of the chin (correction of the witch\'s chin or the weak chin)</li><li>Improvement in the appearance of the lips</li><li>Improvement in the corners of the mouth (\"frowny mouth\")</li><li>Establising a proper rapport with your surgeon: communication is the key.

I had been trying to lose weight and been bothered by my appearance (my face) for a long time. You have to make a decision in your life about how you look but also how you feel and I felt energetic and young. You always want to look as good on the outside as you feel on the inside. You never feel as old on the inside and I had been thinking about having the surgery done for five years. After my face and necklift by Dr. Bhupendra Patel, I went to my mother\'s 90th birthday party in Washington. The comments from everyone was \"how come you have a daughter that is so young?\" They could not tell I had had a facelift and necklift. Everyone thought I was 20 years younger!! I also had an endoscopic browlift and blepharoplasty called the hammock lift which has completely changed the way I look and I don\'t feel tired. My friends think I look at least 20 years younger. I am so glad I got my face fixed! I am enjoying life! Dr. Patel kept on asking me to stop smiling as he took my photographs but I just couldn\'t! I love my face but I especially love my neck. Dr. Patel told me that every young woman should be reminded to enjoy her long neck and firm jawline while they can because father time catcheth up with us all!

To that end, here are my views on possible dis-advantages of undergoing a facelift:</p><ul><li>Down-time. Most patients will need at least two weeks off work to ensure that most of the healing is well under way. If you need to go to a party of get-together where you don\'t want anyone to see any bruises or swelling, it might be four to six weeks after surgery before that may be done. Everyone heals at different rates. Ans as I say time and again: it takes you 20, 30, 40, 50 years to age, the body IS going to need some weeks to heal! Please do not think you will be different and your healing will be quicker than everyone else\'s. Human physiology, biological aging and healing do not discriminate or favour! Celeris paribus, we are all going to take time to heal!</li><li>Cost must always be considered with any elective procedure</li><li>Your expectations: some people have expectations which are not realistic. For example, a facelift will not make anyone look 20 again. Your expectations should be realistic but ambitious, as are ours for all our patients. Our before-and-after photographs will illustrate what one should endeavour to achieve. </li><li>Every single area of the face and neck will not show an equal improvement: the degree of aging, sun damage, etc will vary from person-to-person and from part of the face to part of the face. Results from a facelift and necklift should be regarded as looking at a whole painting and ot studying individual brush strokes. NOT every wrinkle or line will disappear. Indeed, most will improve, but few will completely disappear. The clavis aurea to a beautiful facelift is the care and attention to detail paid by your surgeon and the patience demonstrated by the patient!         <img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Salkeld.Linda-prepost-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2120\" height=\"1492\" /></li><li>Maintenance: you will continue to age. Therrefore, some changes in the face do develop and will need simple maintenance with lasers or fillers or botox to keep the results looking good long-term.</li><li>Psychological: many patients tell us \"I never thought I would have a facelift!\" This is where no-one should convince you to have a facelift or not to have a facelift. Adults have the ability to self-determine. Seek guidance, not convincing by those around you. If you experience pressure-sales-pitches, run.</li></ul><p><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /> RealSelf</p><p><strong>\"To Dr. Patel about my Facelift Results: </strong>I have spent time today reviewing your point-by-point description of everything you did for me and how you did it; I referred to the before and after photos countless times. I am in absolute awe. Your facelift results are nothing short of miraculous. You are absolutely correct, If you had told me what you intended to do, I would have most likely taken a pass from being confused and fearful of the results. You have a gift. Your skills are beyond my comprehension. You have taken a woman, me, who had spent the better part of 15 years being injected with Juvederm to ward off my hereditary jowls, then the signs of aging. I had gotten to a point, that there was not enough Juvederm to keep up with my aging process. I had resigned myself to forever having my Grandmother’s jowls. I became discouraged. Though I loved Grandma dearly, I did not love her jowls. I also never realized I had such a gobble neck not seeing myself in 3-D on a regular basis. Then I discovered your gifts through Marlene. Though I had always said I would never, ever get a face lift due to fear of a possible adverse outcome, the joy and confidence, plus the fabulous results from Marlene sealed the deal. I can’t even begin to tell you how very pleased and joyful I am by my results thus far and I know they will only improve with time. Thank you for doing such an amazing job for me and on me! <strong>\"</strong> -Toni J</p><ul><li>Bhupendra C.K.

There isn\'t a correct or incorrect age, but there is a correct and incorrect time! I am always talking patients out of having a facelift because they want the durgery done too soon. Our practice is European in our approach and therefore conservative. We will guide you, so that, as the Grail Knight, Lord de Bauvis of St Gobain said at the Holy Grail, you will \"choose wisely.\"</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Reidel-prepost.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Reidel-prepost.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1945\" height=\"855\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Can I choose how much of a facelift I should have?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Instead of falling for all the commercial names of facelifts (weekend lifts, halo lifts, no-bruise lifts!), it is best to consider what bothers you and seek to have the face and necklift designed to meet your needs. It is perfectly possible to choose to be very conservative, intermediate, or aggressive in what one seeks to get from the surgery. To that end, one can divide the approaches to a facelift and necklift into three:</p><ul><li>A full facelift and necklift would entail an improvement in all the aspects listed above and include fat grafts, use of lasers, work on the lips, etc.</li><li>A medium facelift can be done without fat grafts and lasers. This will reduce the degree of improvement you would see in some aspects of yoru face but your recovery is a little faster and the cost lower.</li><li>A \"mini-lift\" is reserved for patients who just want an improvement in the jowls and some improvement in the neck. Here the incisions may be less extensive, and the healing therefore quicker. However, this also means the improvements obtained are more measured.  <a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-3.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2134\" height=\"791\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Where are the incisions made?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Designing incisions specifically tailored to the individual faces is the key to obtaining excellent results. In most patients, the incisions will start from just at the temple tuft of hair, to be hidden inside the tragus and go around the ear to a variable distance up in the groove behind the ear:</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/8.-Ear-incision-technique.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/8.-Ear-incision-technique.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"509\" height=\"275\" /></a></p><p>When a browlift is combined with a facelift, the incision used is shown in diagram a. Otherwise, the incision is as shown in diagram b:</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/9.-Incisions-facelift-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/9.-Incisions-facelift-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"532\" height=\"300\" /></a></p><p>Below are actual results of the incisions on one of our patients.

There are several layers of sutures used, dissolving as well as permanent sutures. The skin sutures are removed between 7 and 14 days after surgery, depending upon a number of factors. In some of our out-of-State and overseas patients, we use the types of sutures that can be left in place longer. We don\'t use staples as the final scars from sutures inserted by a skilled surgeon are always superior to mechanical staples. Staples save the surgeon time. Suturing carefully gives you, the patient, superior results!</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">What kind of anaesthesia will I need?</a></h1>		\n		<p>These procedures can be performed using deep sedation anaesthesia as well as general anaesthesia. Again, we wil look at your general health and previous history and experience with anaesthesia to choose the best level of anaesthesia for you. We work with the best anaesthesiologists who perform superb and properly chosen anaesthesia for our patients.</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">What other procedures are generally done together with facelifts?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Patients may choose to have other procedures like endoscopic browlifts, upper and lower blepharoplasty, cheek lifts, fat grafts, laser, lip augmentation and fillers. If you have specific questions or procedures you are considering, we will discuss them with you during your consultation. </p><p>Many patients will divide facial cosmetic surgery into a top two-thirds of the face and the lower one-third of the face and the neck. To that end, patients will often choose to have what we call the Hammock Lift, which is a combination of an endoscopic browlift, upper and lower blepharoplasty together with cheek lifts. This essentially gives you a top two-thirds of a facelift. Most of these patients will then have a lower facelift and necklift some months (or years) later. An example of the Hammock Lift is shown to the right: it shows the longevity of the procedures. :</p>		\n											<a href=\"#\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"\">\n							<img width=\"1024\" height=\"500\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-1024x500.jpg\" alt=\"Improvement in the top two-thirds of the face using the principle of the Hammock Facelift as designed by Dr. Bhupendra Patel MD of Salt Lake City, Saint George and London, England:\" srcset=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-1024x500.jpg 1024w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-300x146.jpg 300w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-768x375.jpg 768w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs.jpg 1107w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />								</a>\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How much swelling and bruising will I have and for how long?</a></h1>		\n		<p>The swelling after facelifts tends to occur on the cheeks and lower down on the face. You will notice that the swelling descends lower down your face over the first few days. It is not uncommon to get bruising around the area below the ears and the neck. It helps to use ice on-and-off on the cheeks and neck for the first two to three days. The bruising and swelling always get worse for the first four days before gradually decreasing. In some patients, the last vestige of bruising or swelling can take several weeks to resolve. Keep the face moisterized with a face moisterizer at least three times a day for the first three weeks. </p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How much discomfort will I have?</a></h1>		\n		<p>You will experience tightness of your face as well as numbness of your cheeks. The tightness settles within a few days but the numbness takes a number of months to resolve: this is normal. Most patients are not even aware of this after the first few days. It is not uncommon to need prescription pain medication for the first two to three days, after which most of our patients switch to Tylenol or extra-strength Tylenol. </p><p>The neck will feel tight, but this is a good thing as we want to get as much of an improvement in the neck as possible: the neck makes the face! The more elegant the neck, the more gorgeous the face looks.</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Beautiful Necks Make Beautiful Faces!</a></h1>		\n							<figure>\n											<a href=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Nefertitit-long-neck.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\">\n							<img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Nefertitit-long-neck-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Queen Nefertiti and her lower face and neck illustrate the outcome of a facelift and necklift by Dr. Bhupendra Patel of Salt Lake City, Saint George, and London, England\" />								</a>\n											<figcaption>Nefertiti: Beautiful neck 1370 BC! </figcaption>\n										</figure>\n							<figure>\n											<a href=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Mature-long-neck.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\">\n							<img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Mature-long-neck-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Bhupendra C.

In the immediate postoperative period of the first few days, there will be swelling, some bruising, you will feel tired, and, it is perfectly normal (and common) for my patients to wonder why they did the surgery! This is only human when the swelling, bruising and limitations compromise your normally active social and work life. I remind all my patients to only think of the results which start to show very quickly and not dwell in the necessary swelling, etc. To that end, it helps to be familiar with the following points:</p><ul><li>Wear loose clothing (a button-up shirt, for example) when you come for your surgery. Your clothes will inevitably get wet because of normal oozing after surgery. </li><li>Make sure someone patient brings you to the surgical center and picks you up. We never hurry our surgeries and will keep you as long as is necessary in the postoperative area to ensure you are well enough to be discharged.</li><li>If you are staying in a hotel, ensure you have several pillows and towels. You will have access to ice. It is best to get a room in a quiet part of the hotel. Let the receptionist know you are having surgery with us: most hotels know us well and will be very helpful. Some will even give you a discounted rate if you let them know that you are having surgery with us! We have listed some of the most convenient hotels in our \"out of State and Overseas Patients\" section. </li><li>Keep your head elevated using about three pillows for the first three days (and nights). Avoid keeping your neck flexed for prolonged periods of time: this causes prolonged swelling. When bending, bend at the knees. You co not need to remain in bed: a recliner is fine. You may read if you want or watch television.</li><li>Do not take a shower immediately after your surgery. However, you may shower or take a bath after 24 hours: you may shampoo your hair, get your face wet and even use gentle soap on the face and neck. It is perfectly fine to get your sutures wet in the shower. </li><li>We will apply a special velcro-pressure dressing which we will provide you with. We will show you how to apply it back on after a shower and will ask you to wear it every night for the first two weeks and as much as you can during the daytime for two weeks: this helps to reduce swelling and bruising more quickly.</li><li>You may drink water, clear fluids, 7-Up (this drink, when flat, does not make patients suffer from nausea), clear broth, or tea. You may have a light lunch or dinner as long as you are not nauseated (you wil be prescribed medication for nausea if needed). You can resume normal eating and drinking within 24 hours of surgery. It is wise to refrain from imbibing alcohol for the first three days after surgery. </li><li>Apply ice on your face (frozen peas or crushed ice in a glove work well) on-and-off for 20-30 minutes for the first two to three days.</li><li>You will have ointment prescribed to apply to any eyelid incisions. You may apply artificial tears into your eyes as vision often varies as you heal. There is no need to apply any ointment to the incisions around your ears, other than a regular moisterizer.</li><li>Please make sure you have a good moisterizer like Aquaphor, Lubriderm or Eucerin (or any brand you usually use or even Vaseline) as keeping the skin moist, especially if laser has been used, allows the skin to recover more quickly.</li><li>If you have any eyelid surgery performed at the same time, EVERYONE experiences some degree of blurry vision because of swelling and healing: this is normal. Other than using artificial tears and ice as discussed above, there is no reason to worry. The vision reverts back to normal over a few days, but can sometimes take a few weeks!<a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1966\" height=\"740\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">When can I go back to work?</a></h1>		\n		<p>We have operated on fellow plastic surgeons who are back to work and able to operate within three days. So you may resume work as and when you feel well enough. However, do remember that the body ages over many years and therefore needs some days to a few weeks to heal: we are but mortal!</p><p>Pilots who fly commercial planes and commercial lorry drivers generally need three to four weeks before they are safe enough to resume duties.</p><p>Office-based work can usually be resumed within a few days if you wish.</p><p>Physical work (contractors, builders, painters, etc) will need about 7 - 10 days before they can resume activity, and even then, will have to be careful. <br /><a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-6.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"868\" height=\"401\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">When can I resume exercize and sports?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Tennis and skiing are generally best avoided for two weeks. Walking and gentle treadmill workouts can be resumed within three days. Heavy lifting of weights or vigorous aerobic exercize should be avoided for two weeks.</p><p>Yoga may be resumed in one week, except for the one-handed tree pose, the wounded peacock pose of the Sayanasana pose: NOT recommended for some weeks, even if you are that amazing that you can perform these poses!</p><p>If there are any specific activities you need to know about, kindly ask.  </p><p><a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Patel.Monika-postop-day-49-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Patel.Monika-postop-day-49-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1822\" height=\"1498\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Risks of Facelift &amp; Necklift Surgery</a></h1>		\n		<p>We like to ensure that you are aware of all eventualities and, to that end, kindly ensure you read this section carefully and please ask us any questions you may have prior to surgery. We are always available to go over things again if needed and happy to meet with your family or friends to ensure all questions have been answered. </p><ul><li>Excessive bleeding is a risk. We will insert drains for one to two days if necessary. Remember that we will ask you to stop aspirin, motrin, anti-inflammatory drugs and other such drugs and vitamins that affect blood clotting at least a week prior to surgery. Sometimes, we will insert drains for one to two days if indicated.</li><li>Patients may develop in infection, although this is rare.</li><li>Asymmetry: most of us do not have absolutely symmetrical faces. Indeed, asymmetry of the face is the norm and becomes more obvious as we age. The reason is we all look gorgeous when we are 18 and asymmetries are hidden by the glow of youth! Some of the asymmetry is related to the way we sleep: we call some of the lower facial changes \"pillow lines\" or \"acordian lines\". Other factors that cause asymmetry include familial traits, sun damage, personal habits, etc. As you heal, you WILL see small differences between the right and left sides of the face, especially early in the postoperative period. This is completely normal!</li><li>Scarring of facial incisions is uncommon. Please do not use any anti-scarring tape or gels without permission as they can affect healing. </li><li>Appearance of the face: every one of my patients is concerned about the \"pulled look\" or the \"operated look\" which is so disliked. And quite rightly so. We are well-known to never give our patients this type of result. However, as you heal, swelling can temporarily give you more of a pull on one or the other side. As we design the procedure carefully and aim to get as much of a symmetry as possible by the end of the procedure, you should not worry about swelling and temporary asymmetry. Especially in the first few weeks. Everyone experiences this to some extent and is normal.</li><li>As we are working at all the different layers of the face, you will notice that some nerves wake up sooner than others. You may have slight smile asymmetry. Facial nerve weakness or paralysis isa risk of facelift surgery that every surgeon should discuss and disclose to the patient. We endeavour to avoid this by using our extensive anatomical and surgical experience and skills during surgery. But you should always be aware of this risk.</li><li>IMPORTANT: as you will be healing and generally not in circulation with your friends or workmates for the first few days to weeks, it is common to feel \"down\" and concerned after the surgery. This is very common but it passes. We keep in close touch with our patients, reminding them to keep the old pecker up as things only get better. This response after surgery is nothing abnormal: just us being normal emotional beings. <a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\"><br /></a><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Neck-and-facelift.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Neck-and-facelift.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2008\" height=\"906\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How do I Maintain a beautiful long-term result after my Facelift &amp; Necklift Surgery?</a></h1>		\n		<p>As we continue to shuffle along this moral coil, what with sun exposure, dryness, wind, natural biological aging, day-to-day wear-and-tear, etc, there will be changes that appear after your facelift and necklift. This will include slowly increasing fine lines or wrinkles, mild depression of facial tissues (as we lose fat with age), gravity-related changes with some loosening of facial tissues, etc. Most of our patients will see us every six months or so: when indicated, in order to maintain the result, we will use filler, lasers, botox, etc as clinic-based treatments to keep the structures firm and youthful. By doing this, we have patients who are many years after their browlifts, belpharoplasties, midface lifts, facelifts and necklifts, who continue to look better than the day before surgery!</p><ul><li>Simple sunscreen and moisterizer use is advisable to protect the skin from the vagaries of heat, dryness, wind and sun.</li><li>Some patients need to improve red spots, broken veins or brown spots which afflict the face for many reasons: these are treated in clinic when the patient wishes to have this improvement using our Advanced Fotofacial and other laser treatments. You can see the types of skin improvement we are talking about in the before-and-after photos under those sections.</li><li>As some deeper loosening invariably occurs, we will use deeper radiofrequency treatments intermittently to keep the appearance as beautiful as we can, without repeat surgery. This is often combined with fillers. Over many years, some patients may need a small procedure which we call a mini-lift. </li></ul>		\n							<figure>\n											<a href=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-and-necklift.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\">\n							<img width=\"768\" height=\"611\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-and-necklift-768x611.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Bhupendra C.

Everything you ever wanted to know about a facelift and a necklift (as performed by Dr. Bhupendra Patel of Patel Plastic Surgery) is presented here. </strong></p><p>A facelift and a necklift is known by many different names: rhytidectomy, facelift, cervico-facial lift, face-and-necklift, lower facelift, etc. Then there are many gimmicky names that are designed to sell the procedure to the public and are best avoided. There is no such thing as a \"weekend lift\", \"no-scar facelift\", \"quicko-facelift\", \"acme facelift\", etc. These are creations of the slick advertising surgeon, all too common and best avoided at all costs. </p><p><strong>Aging of the Face and Neck</strong></p><p>Tempus fugit: aging of the face is inevitable and inexorable. Or as Hippocrates so succinctly put it: \"ars longa, vita brevis\". With the steady march of time, there is loosening of skin, tendons, deeper supporting structures as well as changes in bones, resulting in the well-recognized changes of aging that affect our face and neck. From forehead lines and creases, to drooping brows and eyelids, to crow\'s feet to deep nasolabial and melolabial folds, to jowls, to loss of the jawline, to double and triple chins to neck laxity and bands. And that is just a brief outline of aging, the full discussion of which would take a textbook to discuss. It affects ladies and chaps with equal remorseless persistence!</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Aging as seen in Women</a></h1>		\n											<a href=\"#\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"\">\n							<img src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/1.-Aging-of-women.jpg\" title=\"1.-Aging-of-women.jpg\" alt=\"Aging of women to explain facelift and necklift by Dr. Bhupedra C.

The surgery should only be undertaken after care and attention has been paid to the following important points:</p><ul><li>Understanding features of your face and neck that bother you. Not every change needs a facelift. Some can be improved with fillers, botox, lasers, or smaller procedures. Ask!</li><li>Understanding the difference between the many confusing names of facial procedures that are throuwn out to the poor public. Do not get taken in by sleek advertising and fancy offices!</li><li>Establising a proper rapport with your surgeon: communication is the key. We believe that your surgeon should be the only one who always sees you (before and after surgery), the surgeon should communicate with you and the surgeon should ensure your results meet requirements. </li><li><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-cropped-300x129.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"556\" height=\"240\" /></li><li>Word-of-mouth is best to ensure you know of others who have had facelifts by your surgeon so you feel comfortable with your choice.</li><li>Nickeling and diming with discounts can be seductive and dangerous: it is YOUR face, don\'t forget. Choose wisely.</li><li>A proper face and necklift should be designed for your specific needs and not be an out-of-the-box named \"cut here and suture there\" procedure. No two people age the same way, which is why template, quick operations produce average results. Our motto is, loosely translated \"nothing but the best will satisfy us\" (per ardua ad astra). To that end, our before-and-after photographs, patient testimonials and patient-referrals may guide you.</li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">In general, what are the improvements sought in a facelift?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Remembering that many factors have to be considered when predicting the outcomes of facelifts (including race, age, lifestyle, sun exposure, history of smoking, genetic factors, previous surgery, weight gain or loss, etc), these are the areas where improvement is dought and obtained when bespoke face and necklifts are designed:</p><ul><li>Improvement in the lines that run from the nose to the mouth and the mouth to the chin (nasolabial folds and melolabial folds)</li><li>Stronger jawline</li><li>Improvement in jowls</li><li>Improvement in laxity of the skin of the lower face</li><li>Improvement in the laxity of the neck skin</li><li>Improvement in neck bands</li><li>Improvement in the texture of the face and neck skin</li><li>Improvement in fullness in the neck (double chin)</li><li>Improvement in the appearance of the chin (correction of the witch\'s chin or the weak chin)</li><li>Improvement in the appearance of the lips</li><li>Improvement in the corners of the mouth (\"frowny mouth\")</li><li>Establising a proper rapport with your surgeon: communication is the key.

I had been trying to lose weight and been bothered by my appearance (my face) for a long time. You have to make a decision in your life about how you look but also how you feel and I felt energetic and young. You always want to look as good on the outside as you feel on the inside. You never feel as old on the inside and I had been thinking about having the surgery done for five years. After my face and necklift by Dr. Bhupendra Patel, I went to my mother\'s 90th birthday party in Washington. The comments from everyone was \"how come you have a daughter that is so young?\" They could not tell I had had a facelift and necklift. Everyone thought I was 20 years younger!! I also had an endoscopic browlift and blepharoplasty called the hammock lift which has completely changed the way I look and I don\'t feel tired. My friends think I look at least 20 years younger. I am so glad I got my face fixed! I am enjoying life! Dr. Patel kept on asking me to stop smiling as he took my photographs but I just couldn\'t! I love my face but I especially love my neck. Dr. Patel told me that every young woman should be reminded to enjoy her long neck and firm jawline while they can because father time catcheth up with us all!

To that end, here are my views on possible dis-advantages of undergoing a facelift:</p><ul><li>Down-time. Most patients will need at least two weeks off work to ensure that most of the healing is well under way. If you need to go to a party of get-together where you don\'t want anyone to see any bruises or swelling, it might be four to six weeks after surgery before that may be done. Everyone heals at different rates. Ans as I say time and again: it takes you 20, 30, 40, 50 years to age, the body IS going to need some weeks to heal! Please do not think you will be different and your healing will be quicker than everyone else\'s. Human physiology, biological aging and healing do not discriminate or favour! Celeris paribus, we are all going to take time to heal!</li><li>Cost must always be considered with any elective procedure</li><li>Your expectations: some people have expectations which are not realistic. For example, a facelift will not make anyone look 20 again. Your expectations should be realistic but ambitious, as are ours for all our patients. Our before-and-after photographs will illustrate what one should endeavour to achieve. </li><li>Every single area of the face and neck will not show an equal improvement: the degree of aging, sun damage, etc will vary from person-to-person and from part of the face to part of the face. Results from a facelift and necklift should be regarded as looking at a whole painting and ot studying individual brush strokes. NOT every wrinkle or line will disappear. Indeed, most will improve, but few will completely disappear. The clavis aurea to a beautiful facelift is the care and attention to detail paid by your surgeon and the patience demonstrated by the patient!         <img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Salkeld.Linda-prepost-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2120\" height=\"1492\" /></li><li>Maintenance: you will continue to age. Therrefore, some changes in the face do develop and will need simple maintenance with lasers or fillers or botox to keep the results looking good long-term.</li><li>Psychological: many patients tell us \"I never thought I would have a facelift!\" This is where no-one should convince you to have a facelift or not to have a facelift. Adults have the ability to self-determine. Seek guidance, not convincing by those around you. If you experience pressure-sales-pitches, run.</li></ul><p><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /><img src=\"https://assets.doctor.com/email/star_100.png\" alt=\"★\" /> RealSelf</p><p><strong>\"To Dr. Patel about my Facelift Results: </strong>I have spent time today reviewing your point-by-point description of everything you did for me and how you did it; I referred to the before and after photos countless times. I am in absolute awe. Your facelift results are nothing short of miraculous. You are absolutely correct, If you had told me what you intended to do, I would have most likely taken a pass from being confused and fearful of the results. You have a gift. Your skills are beyond my comprehension. You have taken a woman, me, who had spent the better part of 15 years being injected with Juvederm to ward off my hereditary jowls, then the signs of aging. I had gotten to a point, that there was not enough Juvederm to keep up with my aging process. I had resigned myself to forever having my Grandmother’s jowls. I became discouraged. Though I loved Grandma dearly, I did not love her jowls. I also never realized I had such a gobble neck not seeing myself in 3-D on a regular basis. Then I discovered your gifts through Marlene. Though I had always said I would never, ever get a face lift due to fear of a possible adverse outcome, the joy and confidence, plus the fabulous results from Marlene sealed the deal. I can’t even begin to tell you how very pleased and joyful I am by my results thus far and I know they will only improve with time. Thank you for doing such an amazing job for me and on me! <strong>\"</strong> -Toni J</p><ul><li>Bhupendra C.K.

There isn\'t a correct or incorrect age, but there is a correct and incorrect time! I am always talking patients out of having a facelift because they want the durgery done too soon. Our practice is European in our approach and therefore conservative. We will guide you, so that, as the Grail Knight, Lord de Bauvis of St Gobain said at the Holy Grail, you will \"choose wisely.\"</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Reidel-prepost.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Reidel-prepost.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1945\" height=\"855\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Can I choose how much of a facelift I should have?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Instead of falling for all the commercial names of facelifts (weekend lifts, halo lifts, no-bruise lifts!), it is best to consider what bothers you and seek to have the face and necklift designed to meet your needs. It is perfectly possible to choose to be very conservative, intermediate, or aggressive in what one seeks to get from the surgery. To that end, one can divide the approaches to a facelift and necklift into three:</p><ul><li>A full facelift and necklift would entail an improvement in all the aspects listed above and include fat grafts, use of lasers, work on the lips, etc.</li><li>A medium facelift can be done without fat grafts and lasers. This will reduce the degree of improvement you would see in some aspects of yoru face but your recovery is a little faster and the cost lower.</li><li>A \"mini-lift\" is reserved for patients who just want an improvement in the jowls and some improvement in the neck. Here the incisions may be less extensive, and the healing therefore quicker. However, this also means the improvements obtained are more measured.  <a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-3.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2134\" height=\"791\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Where are the incisions made?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Designing incisions specifically tailored to the individual faces is the key to obtaining excellent results. In most patients, the incisions will start from just at the temple tuft of hair, to be hidden inside the tragus and go around the ear to a variable distance up in the groove behind the ear:</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/8.-Ear-incision-technique.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/8.-Ear-incision-technique.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"509\" height=\"275\" /></a></p><p>When a browlift is combined with a facelift, the incision used is shown in diagram a. Otherwise, the incision is as shown in diagram b:</p><p><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/9.-Incisions-facelift-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/9.-Incisions-facelift-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"532\" height=\"300\" /></a></p><p>Below are actual results of the incisions on one of our patients.

There are several layers of sutures used, dissolving as well as permanent sutures. The skin sutures are removed between 7 and 14 days after surgery, depending upon a number of factors. In some of our out-of-State and overseas patients, we use the types of sutures that can be left in place longer. We don\'t use staples as the final scars from sutures inserted by a skilled surgeon are always superior to mechanical staples. Staples save the surgeon time. Suturing carefully gives you, the patient, superior results!</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">What kind of anaesthesia will I need?</a></h1>		\n		<p>These procedures can be performed using deep sedation anaesthesia as well as general anaesthesia. Again, we wil look at your general health and previous history and experience with anaesthesia to choose the best level of anaesthesia for you. We work with the best anaesthesiologists who perform superb and properly chosen anaesthesia for our patients.</p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">What other procedures are generally done together with facelifts?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Patients may choose to have other procedures like endoscopic browlifts, upper and lower blepharoplasty, cheek lifts, fat grafts, laser, lip augmentation and fillers. If you have specific questions or procedures you are considering, we will discuss them with you during your consultation. </p><p>Many patients will divide facial cosmetic surgery into a top two-thirds of the face and the lower one-third of the face and the neck. To that end, patients will often choose to have what we call the Hammock Lift, which is a combination of an endoscopic browlift, upper and lower blepharoplasty together with cheek lifts. This essentially gives you a top two-thirds of a facelift. Most of these patients will then have a lower facelift and necklift some months (or years) later. An example of the Hammock Lift is shown to the right: it shows the longevity of the procedures. :</p>		\n											<a href=\"#\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"\">\n							<img width=\"1024\" height=\"500\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-1024x500.jpg\" alt=\"Improvement in the top two-thirds of the face using the principle of the Hammock Facelift as designed by Dr. Bhupendra Patel MD of Salt Lake City, Saint George and London, England:\" srcset=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-1024x500.jpg 1024w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-300x146.jpg 300w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs-768x375.jpg 768w, https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/11.prepost-face_hammock-long-term-yrs.jpg 1107w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />								</a>\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How much swelling and bruising will I have and for how long?</a></h1>		\n		<p>The swelling after facelifts tends to occur on the cheeks and lower down on the face. You will notice that the swelling descends lower down your face over the first few days. It is not uncommon to get bruising around the area below the ears and the neck. It helps to use ice on-and-off on the cheeks and neck for the first two to three days. The bruising and swelling always get worse for the first four days before gradually decreasing. In some patients, the last vestige of bruising or swelling can take several weeks to resolve. Keep the face moisterized with a face moisterizer at least three times a day for the first three weeks. </p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How much discomfort will I have?</a></h1>		\n		<p>You will experience tightness of your face as well as numbness of your cheeks. The tightness settles within a few days but the numbness takes a number of months to resolve: this is normal. Most patients are not even aware of this after the first few days. It is not uncommon to need prescription pain medication for the first two to three days, after which most of our patients switch to Tylenol or extra-strength Tylenol. </p><p>The neck will feel tight, but this is a good thing as we want to get as much of an improvement in the neck as possible: the neck makes the face!

In the immediate postoperative period of the first few days, there will be swelling, some bruising, you will feel tired, and, it is perfectly normal (and common) for my patients to wonder why they did the surgery! This is only human when the swelling, bruising and limitations compromise your normally active social and work life. I remind all my patients to only think of the results which start to show very quickly and not dwell in the necessary swelling, etc. To that end, it helps to be familiar with the following points:</p><ul><li>Wear loose clothing (a button-up shirt, for example) when you come for your surgery. Your clothes will inevitably get wet because of normal oozing after surgery. </li><li>Make sure someone patient brings you to the surgical center and picks you up. We never hurry our surgeries and will keep you as long as is necessary in the postoperative area to ensure you are well enough to be discharged.</li><li>If you are staying in a hotel, ensure you have several pillows and towels. You will have access to ice. It is best to get a room in a quiet part of the hotel. Let the receptionist know you are having surgery with us: most hotels know us well and will be very helpful. Some will even give you a discounted rate if you let them know that you are having surgery with us! We have listed some of the most convenient hotels in our \"out of State and Overseas Patients\" section. </li><li>Keep your head elevated using about three pillows for the first three days (and nights). Avoid keeping your neck flexed for prolonged periods of time: this causes prolonged swelling. When bending, bend at the knees. You co not need to remain in bed: a recliner is fine. You may read if you want or watch television.</li><li>Do not take a shower immediately after your surgery. However, you may shower or take a bath after 24 hours: you may shampoo your hair, get your face wet and even use gentle soap on the face and neck. It is perfectly fine to get your sutures wet in the shower. </li><li>We will apply a special velcro-pressure dressing which we will provide you with. We will show you how to apply it back on after a shower and will ask you to wear it every night for the first two weeks and as much as you can during the daytime for two weeks: this helps to reduce swelling and bruising more quickly.</li><li>You may drink water, clear fluids, 7-Up (this drink, when flat, does not make patients suffer from nausea), clear broth, or tea. You may have a light lunch or dinner as long as you are not nauseated (you wil be prescribed medication for nausea if needed). You can resume normal eating and drinking within 24 hours of surgery. It is wise to refrain from imbibing alcohol for the first three days after surgery. </li><li>Apply ice on your face (frozen peas or crushed ice in a glove work well) on-and-off for 20-30 minutes for the first two to three days.</li><li>You will have ointment prescribed to apply to any eyelid incisions. You may apply artificial tears into your eyes as vision often varies as you heal. There is no need to apply any ointment to the incisions around your ears, other than a regular moisterizer.</li><li>Please make sure you have a good moisterizer like Aquaphor, Lubriderm or Eucerin (or any brand you usually use or even Vaseline) as keeping the skin moist, especially if laser has been used, allows the skin to recover more quickly.</li><li>If you have any eyelid surgery performed at the same time, EVERYONE experiences some degree of blurry vision because of swelling and healing: this is normal. Other than using artificial tears and ice as discussed above, there is no reason to worry. The vision reverts back to normal over a few days, but can sometimes take a few weeks!<a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1966\" height=\"740\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">When can I go back to work?</a></h1>		\n		<p>We have operated on fellow plastic surgeons who are back to work and able to operate within three days. So you may resume work as and when you feel well enough. However, do remember that the body ages over many years and therefore needs some days to a few weeks to heal: we are but mortal!</p><p>Pilots who fly commercial planes and commercial lorry drivers generally need three to four weeks before they are safe enough to resume duties.</p><p>Office-based work can usually be resumed within a few days if you wish.</p><p>Physical work (contractors, builders, painters, etc) will need about 7 - 10 days before they can resume activity, and even then, will have to be careful. <br /><a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-6.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"868\" height=\"401\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">When can I resume exercize and sports?</a></h1>		\n		<p>Tennis and skiing are generally best avoided for two weeks. Walking and gentle treadmill workouts can be resumed within three days. Heavy lifting of weights or vigorous aerobic exercize should be avoided for two weeks.</p><p>Yoga may be resumed in one week, except for the one-handed tree pose, the wounded peacock pose of the Sayanasana pose: NOT recommended for some weeks, even if you are that amazing that you can perform these poses!</p><p>If there are any specific activities you need to know about, kindly ask.  </p><p><a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Patel.Monika-postop-day-49-2.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Patel.Monika-postop-day-49-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1822\" height=\"1498\" /></a></p>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">Risks of Facelift &amp; Necklift Surgery</a></h1>		\n		<p>We like to ensure that you are aware of all eventualities and, to that end, kindly ensure you read this section carefully and please ask us any questions you may have prior to surgery. We are always available to go over things again if needed and happy to meet with your family or friends to ensure all questions have been answered. </p><ul><li>Excessive bleeding is a risk. We will insert drains for one to two days if necessary. Remember that we will ask you to stop aspirin, motrin, anti-inflammatory drugs and other such drugs and vitamins that affect blood clotting at least a week prior to surgery. Sometimes, we will insert drains for one to two days if indicated.</li><li>Patients may develop in infection, although this is rare.</li><li>Asymmetry: most of us do not have absolutely symmetrical faces. Indeed, asymmetry of the face is the norm and becomes more obvious as we age. The reason is we all look gorgeous when we are 18 and asymmetries are hidden by the glow of youth! Some of the asymmetry is related to the way we sleep: we call some of the lower facial changes \"pillow lines\" or \"acordian lines\". Other factors that cause asymmetry include familial traits, sun damage, personal habits, etc. As you heal, you WILL see small differences between the right and left sides of the face, especially early in the postoperative period. This is completely normal!</li><li>Scarring of facial incisions is uncommon. Please do not use any anti-scarring tape or gels without permission as they can affect healing. </li><li>Appearance of the face: every one of my patients is concerned about the \"pulled look\" or the \"operated look\" which is so disliked. And quite rightly so. We are well-known to never give our patients this type of result. However, as you heal, swelling can temporarily give you more of a pull on one or the other side. As we design the procedure carefully and aim to get as much of a symmetry as possible by the end of the procedure, you should not worry about swelling and temporary asymmetry. Especially in the first few weeks. Everyone experiences this to some extent and is normal.</li><li>As we are working at all the different layers of the face, you will notice that some nerves wake up sooner than others. You may have slight smile asymmetry. Facial nerve weakness or paralysis isa risk of facelift surgery that every surgeon should discuss and disclose to the patient. We endeavour to avoid this by using our extensive anatomical and surgical experience and skills during surgery. But you should always be aware of this risk.</li><li>IMPORTANT: as you will be healing and generally not in circulation with your friends or workmates for the first few days to weeks, it is common to feel \"down\" and concerned after the surgery. This is very common but it passes. We keep in close touch with our patients, reminding them to keep the old pecker up as things only get better. This response after surgery is nothing abnormal: just us being normal emotional beings. <a style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\" href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Black-2.jpg\"><br /></a><a href=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Neck-and-facelift.jpg\"><img src=\"http://profbckpatel.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Neck-and-facelift.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2008\" height=\"906\" /></a></li></ul>		\n			<h1><a href=\"#\">How do I Maintain a beautiful long-term result after my Facelift &amp; Necklift Surgery?</a></h1>		\n		<p>As we continue to shuffle along this moral coil, what with sun exposure, dryness, wind, natural biological aging, day-to-day wear-and-tear, etc, there will be changes that appear after your facelift and necklift. This will include slowly increasing fine lines or wrinkles, mild depression of facial tissues (as we lose fat with age), gravity-related changes with some loosening of facial tissues, etc. Most of our patients will see us every six months or so: when indicated, in order to maintain the result, we will use filler, lasers, botox, etc as clinic-based treatments to keep the structures firm and youthful. By doing this, we have patients who are many years after their browlifts, belpharoplasties, midface lifts, facelifts and necklifts, who continue to look better than the day before surgery!</p><ul><li>Simple sunscreen and moisterizer use is advisable to protect the skin from the vagaries of heat, dryness, wind and sun.</li><li>Some patients need to improve red spots, broken veins or brown spots which afflict the face for many reasons: these are treated in clinic when the patient wishes to have this improvement using our Advanced Fotofacial and other laser treatments. You can see the types of skin improvement we are talking about in the before-and-after photos under those sections.</li><li>As some deeper loosening invariably occurs, we will use deeper radiofrequency treatments intermittently to keep the appearance as beautiful as we can, without repeat surgery. This is often combined with fillers. Over many years, some patients may need a small procedure which we call a mini-lift. </li></ul>		\n							<figure>\n											<a href=\"http://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-and-necklift.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"default\">\n							<img width=\"768\" height=\"611\" src=\"https://englishsurgeon.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Facelift-and-necklift-768x611.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Bhupendra C.
