Facelift Surgery in Tijuana
Gravity takes its toll on us as we age. As we become older, we lose part of the fat in the hollow behind our cheekbones. Furthermore, as we become older, our muscles and skin of the face loosen. Our way of life, unprotected sun exposure, and stress all impact how we look as time passes.
There are various common outcomes: deepening of the fold lines extending from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Along the jawline, sagging jowls might occur. And the tissue surrounding the eyes begins to droop, giving the face a sad and exhausted appearance.
The rhytidectomy, more commonly known as a facelift, can provide a more youthful look. Tissues are raised and tightened, and excess skin is eliminated. Surgery cannot stop the natural aging process, but it can provide a rested and renewed appearance. Facelift surgery in Mexico can be combined with eyelid surgery and brow lift surgery.

About Facelift Procedure
Facelift surgeon in Tijuana Mexico Dr. Diego Ampudia makes small incisions at the hairline in front of the ear and extends under the earlobe to the lower scalp. Through the incisions, he tightens the underlying structures of the face, including the SMAS deep layer tissue and muscles. The skin is stretched and tightened back into place. Any scars from the incision lines will be well-hidden within the hairline or another area of the face, so the scars are almost undetectable.
Liposuction of the neck and jowls may also be recommended to create a more attractive contour around the chin and neck.

Recovering from Facelift Surgery
Patients recovering after facelift surgery should rest quietly at home for a few days and avoid excessive activity, hard lifting, or physical effort. Pain medication can be used to alleviate any post-operative pain or discomfort. After a few days, Dr. Diego Ampudia will check on the patient’s development and remove the stitches within a week or two of the procedure. Any possible concerns should be immediately reported to Dr. Diego Ampudia, who may examine the patient and prevent the situation from worsening.

FAQs about Facelift Surgery in Tijuana, Mexico
How long does the surgery last?
The total time required for a facelift varies from patient to patient, depending on the specific procedures required to achieve the patient’s desired results. Facelift surgery typically takes 3 to 4 hours.
A simple cheek/temple lift, also known as a mid-face lift, would take about 2 hours.
Surgery for a facelift, neck lift, and eye lift could take 5 to 6 hours.
Will I need someone to take me home after a facelift procedure?
Yes, someone you trust should be there after the procedure to take you home and its recommended they stay a few days into the recovery to help you.
How painful is a facelift?
For the first 7 to 10 days after a facelift, there is a sense of fullness and tugging, which is adequately handled by pain medication.
As the swelling goes down, so does the pain. Using cold packs on the face will significantly reduce edema. Patients can usually switch to non-narcotic pain medication after a few days.
What is the best age to undergo a facelift?
The appropriate age for a facelift depends on the patient. Because the aging process affects each individual differently, a facelift surgery is customized to a patient’s unique facial characteristics. This guarantees that a patient can get a facelift and have a balanced, natural-looking facial appearance.
The ideal candidate for facelift surgery has extra or sagging skin in the face and neck and is in good general condition.
As a result, this candidate is well-suited for a facelift procedure.
