The R Facelift

Overview

The R Facelift method was developed for patients who have Ehler’s Danlos Syndrome (EDS). These patients have a tendency of severe bleeding and bruising and poor healing. This technique involves a pre-operative assessment for skin laxity, and the area of skin to be excised is assessed and marked.

This technique has a similar scar as in the Minimal Access Cranial Suspension (MACS) facelift, which is around the sideburn, in front of the ear and stops behind the ear.

Conventional facelift procedures are invasive and need long and complex surgical steps, involve long recovery times and can be disfiguring in the early post-operative period due to severe swelling and bruising. The non-surgical modalities or options for facelift tend to yield a weaker, less noticeable, lift and may require early revision.

Mr Riaz developed the R face and neck lift which is without much skin undermining and no deep or extensive surgical steps and responds to growing demand for long lasting effective facelift procedures associated with minimal down time and lower risk of complications. The resulting scar from the R face and neck lift starts around the sideburn and goes in front of the ear and stops two thirds of the length of the posterior surface of the ear in the crease. The only resulting swelling and bruising is close to the suture line for a few days.

The rest of the face and neck does not show any swelling or bruising. There is no risk of collection of blood or haematoma. In technical terms there is a composite lift of face and neck and the effect on the neck is very pronounced.
