Facelift compression garments

Doctors recommend wearing face wraps after facelift because it helps to:

  1. Accelerate the healing process
  2. Flush out harmful fluids
  3. Make the skin fit better to its new contours, reducing sagginess
  4. Minimize swelling after the procedure
  5. Support surgical areas for more comfort, especially during sudden movements such as coughing and sneezing

Aside from these benefits, as a recovery compression bandage, a facial wrap after facelift can also help control or stop common problems such as: snoring, sleep apnea, dry mouth. In addition to this, individuals who have undergone rhytidectomy have been reported to return faster to their normal routine with minimal scarring compared to those who does not use it.

What is a facelift surgery (rhytidectomy)?

Apparent signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles and sagginess can be removed through rhytidectomy, or commonly called as facelift. Some the benefits it brings to the face includes the following:

  • Reduces sagging by relaxing the skin
  • Enhances facial contours
  • Removes jowls
  • Repairs loose skin
  • Tightens facial muscles
  • Removes double chin appearance

With these numerous advantages, it is not a wonder why this is one of the most wanted cosmetic surgical procedures for those who want to erase visible signs of aging on their face and neck. There are three common types of face lift:

Traditional face lift

The so-called full facelift includes re-positioning, lifting of muscles around the face and fat sculpting. The incision usually starts at the temples then moves down towards the earlobe and behind the ear to the hairline.

Limited-incision facelift

This face lift concentrates around your eyes and mouth, including nasolabial folds (commonly known as smile lines or laugh lines) to reduce deep creases. Short incisions on the temples, around the ears, lower eyelids and upper lip are made.

Neck lift

A neck lift focuses on diminishing loose skin around the neck, excess fat under chin area, and jowls. Mostly, incisions are made around the ear lobe, behind the ear up to the lower scalp.

Common features of a face wraps after facelift

Facelift compression garments are worn around the face, covering the chin up to the lower face. Some of the face recovery compression bandage types provide support not only the facial areas but also to the neck. Some even have holes in the ears to avoid pressure on incision areas, while others cover these regions. Consult your doctor to know the best kind of facelift compression garment to use.
