Vector Facelift in Abu Dhabi:

A vector facelift is a minimally invasive treatment that lifts and tightens facial tissues for a more youthful and refreshed appearance. It uses precise techniques to target natural lines of tension, reposition facial tissues, enhance contours, and reduce sagginess. The best part is its natural-looking outcomes without any artificial appearance or longer recovery periods. The procedure is ideal for candidates in their 40s and 50s who desire to rejuvenate their appearance without any extensive downtime or surgical inconveniences. 

Cost:

The vector facelift cost starts from 36,000 AED but varies according to different factors. It depends on how complex the surgery is and the experience and qualifications of the surgeon. The final cost is determined by the surgeon after a detailed initial checkup and discussion with the patient.

Understanding Facial Anatomy and Aging:

Aging appears on the front layer of the face, but it starts from the internal layers. So, understanding layers of facial anatomy is crucial to understanding the aging process and the working of treatment procedures. 

Facial Layers:

Aging:

As we age, each layer of the skin undergoes significant changes. Those changes are:

• Aging breaks down collagen and elastin fibers in the dermal layer, leading to sagginess.
• Facial fat starts to diminish on the cheeks, doubling on the jowls and chin, which contributes to a heavier lower face and hollowed upper face. 
• Some muscles start becoming overactive, and some weaken, which causes deep expression lines. 
• The facial bones start losing their density and volume, which alters the face shape and reduces overall support.

These facial changes result in wrinkles, volume loss, or deep folds. In this regard, facelifts provide a comprehensive solution to aging and support overall skin health.

Difference Between a Vector Facelift and Thread Lift:

Thread lifting is also a very convenient way to rejuvenate a person’s appearance. The major difference between a vector facelift and a thread lift is presented below:

Benefits:

• The surgery is safe and minimally invasive
• Results are permanent
• Restores the youthfulness and freshness
• The short recovery period and healing are quick
• The surgery is painless
• Reverses the aging signs
• Makes a person look very young
• It provides a harmonious, balanced, and soft look

Results:

The results begin to be visible some weeks after the treatment, once the stitches are removed and the side effects fade away. It takes several months for the healing to complete after which final results are seen that make a person’s face look rejuvenated and contoured.

How Long do the Results Last?

The results of the surgery are permanent and last for a lifetime. However, it does not stop the natural process of aging; thereby, with time, as the person ages, the recipient may experience changes in their appearance. The individual can then revisit the clinic to get additional treatments to maintain their appearance.  

Ideal Candidate:

• A person with loose and sagging skin.
• Someone who just wants a lift and not volume.
• Anyone who is mentally prepared for the surgery and who understands the procedure and aftercare.
• A physically and mentally healthy person who does not suffer from any serious condition.
• Women who are not pregnant or lactating.
• Someone with realistic expectations from the surgery.
• A person who is above the age of 30 years.

Pre-Operative Care Instructions:

In the first consultation, the surgeon and patient have a detailed discussion about the patient’s concerns and expectations from the treatment. Several possible treatment options are also provided to the candidate. The medical history of the patient is reviewed, and the doctor may also suggest some blood tests to ensure the patient is ideal for the surgery.

• Once the surgery is decided, the surgeon starts preparing for the surgery and also gives a list of guidelines to the patient on pre-operative care.
• The patient is advised to stop taking any type of blood thinners, supplements, and vitamin tablets.
• They are instructed to stop smoking and avoid alcohol consumption for weeks before the surgery
• On the day of the surgery, the patient should take a shower before coming to the clinic for the surgery and also avoid makeup in the treatment area.

Procedure:

• For the Vector Facelift in Abu Dhabi & Al Ain, first, the skin is properly disinfected using a sanitizing solution or an alcohol swab
• The area behind the ear, under the hairline, and on the front of the ear is then numbed using a local anesthetic
• The area where an incision is to be made is then marked, which is usually in front of the ear and under the hairline
• When the skin is being incised, the next step the surgeon takes is to make a flap from the skin
• This means undermining the skin to release the loose skin so that it can be removed and smoothed by applying a natural contour to the neck
• In this way, the area in front of the ear is lifted, and the loose skin on the cheeks, jowls, and jawline area is tightened and reshaped
• The incision is then closed by following the natural curves around the ear using 3 layers of stitches so that scars are minimized

Post-Operative Care and Recovery:

The recovery period after the surgery varies for each patient, as every person has different healing capabilities, and health status is also different for each patient. On average, it takes 2 weeks for the sutures to be removed.

It is important to follow the surgeon’s post-op care guidelines on how to care for the operated areas to avoid any type of complications and speed up the process of healing. 

• Remove the bandage according to the doctor’s advice. 
• Keep your stitches clean and dry.
• Avoid strenuous workouts and activities for at least a month
• Do not take a shower for at least 2 days after the surgery
• The treated regions should not be applied with makeup or any other skincare products for the first month
• Ice packs and compresses should be used to control and reduce swelling and minimize discomfort.
