Possible Complications with Facelift (Rhytidectomy)
With a Face Lift, the scars are placed either within the hair or in natural folds and lines of the face so that they are inconspicuous or easily hidden by makeup or hair styling. Your scars fade with time and are usually not noticeable. Nevertheless, you should be aware that scars are permanent, and their width, height, and color are not totally predictable. As with any surgical procedure, small sensory nerves near the surface of the skin are interrupted during a Face Lift, so our Miami and Fort Lauderdale patients may experience numbness on portions of their scalp, cheeks, and neck. Sensation returns over several months, but some diminished feeling may last indefinitely. Facial nerve injury with weakness of a part of the face can occur on a transient or permanent basis. The latter is very rare. Other complications not listed here can occur but are exceedingly rare. Nonetheless, it is important to enter into your procedure aware not only of the benefits, but also of the possible complications. Talk to your surgeon and discuss every concern you may have about your Face Lift in Miami or any of the other cosmetic plastic surgery procedures we offer.
