If you are looking for an effective new facelift procedure to specifically deal with your sagging skin on the neck and jaw, then you should consider Ribbon Lift. This new facelift procedure has recently become popular due to its highly favorable effects. Patients who underwent this procedure report having less discomfort and fewer side effects.

A Ribbon facelift utilizes a bio-absorbable endotine ribbon to lift the muscle tissues of the face. This is inserted by the surgeon through an incision on the skin made around the ear. This ribbon, which has hooks, then attaches itself to the muscles and tissues under the neck, allowing the surgeon to pull and lift the entire area. The excess skin can then be pulled to the earlobe and trimmed. This new facelift treatment takes only 30 to 45 minutes to complete and has very little scarring or bruising. Patients can instantly see the results, which is a toned, taut and younger looking skin.

There is no need to worry about the ribbon that the surgeon inserted since it is bio-absorbable. Therefore, you are guaranteed that this new facelift procedure is perfectly safe. As a matter of fact, the ribbon used will dissolve on its own after about 2 months.

The maximum recovery time for this new facelift procedure is one week, although a patient could be out of the hospital in a day. Despite the fact that this cosmetic treatment has minimal downtime, there are still post-operative measures that the patient must take note of to ascertain complete recovery. Patients are required to wear neck support for the first week following the procedure. And for the first 4 months, patients are advised to refrain from any vigorous activity.

It’s all worth it, though, as the results of this new facelift treatment will last at around 3 to 5 years. But always remember, a facelift procedure will only take a few years off your face for a while, but your body’s natural aging process will continue. And aging may be fast or slow, so before you go about with any cosmetic procedure, always consult your doctor to find out what’ best for you.
