Facelift Procedure
As we become older the gravity, sun exposure and everyday stress leave their marks on our faces. Wrinkles appear between the nose and the mouse, the skin becomes lose and drop below the jaw line and extra fat and skin accumulates around the neck. Facelift cannot stop the aging process but it can "turn back time" by removing extra skin and fat and straitening the muscles.
The ideal candidates for the procedure are patients with skin of the face and neck that started to drop but still has its elasticity.
The operation last from 3-7 hours (it can be longer if additional procedures are done). Some surgeons prefer to work on each side at a time and some do both sides simultaneously. The placement of the cuts and the magnitude of the operation depend on face structure and the correction required. The cut usually starts on the forehead goes in front of the ear and behind the ear lobe, additional cut below the chin is made to repair the neck. The surgeon separates the skin from the fat, removes the extra fat, strengthens the muscles and returns the fat pockets where they use to be. Afterwards he stretches the skin, cuts the extra and closes with sutures. A drainage tube usually left from both sides to draine secretions and blood and the face is bandaged for the first 24 hours.
Every operation has its risks although not common those include, bleeding, infection, damage to facial nerves (usually temporal), face asymmetry and delayed healing. Patients who smoke have higher rates of delayed healing.
There may be pain or uncomfortable felling after the recovery that can be treated with painkillers. A sensation of ants crawling usually disappears after weeks or a month after the surgery. Bandages are removed after a day or two and your face may look swollen. Red or pale with bleeding spots, you must remember that those will disappear after few days or weeks.
You can get out of bed after 24 hours but you should avoid any efforts for at least a week to help the healing process. You should avoid alcohol, hot tubs and saunas for at least a month. Most of the patients feel disappointed at first, their face look and feel strange but after a few weeks the scars will heal and you'll be able to see the final results. Many patients return to work after 3 weeks. Sometimes you may need to use make up to blur the hemorrhage spots.

Mississippi Get around The easiest method of getting around Mississippi is by car (and in most cases, it’s the only method of getting around the state). You can get around Mississippi by Greyhound [2], but it is a very inconvenient method of traveling around the state (be prepared for long waits, uncomfortable rides to remote locations (usually at a gas station on the outskirts of the city), and sudden bus cancellations). The hassle of visiting the state by bus isn't worth the money saved by purchasing a bus ticket when compared to renting a car; sometimes, their isn't much of a difference in cost. Visitors should seriously consider renting a car from a regional airport if you fly into Mississippi, as there is not a well established public transportation system in this state.
Mississippi By car If you do rent or drive your own car into Mississippi, make sure that you have uninsured motorist coverage to protect yourself from another driver. Mississippi does have a law that all automobile drivers are required to have liability insurance coverage (the minimum coverage is rather low); however, the law is not enforced unless the driver is involved in an accident.
