Do you wish to look ten years younger? Are you tired of seeing wrinkles growing on your face? Here is one of the problems of this century: skin aging. With the gain in life expectancy, it is nowadays a whole generation that is left with wrinkle problems. One of the most effective treatments against facial wrinkles remains the face lift or cervicofacial lift.
The facelift rejuvenates your face while maintaining your identity. The lifting considerably and durably rejuvenates the face. This type of operation is available according to the desired corrections: cervicofacial lifting, soft-lifting, total lifting, partial lifting, or neck lifting. This type of operation is recommended when there is an important amount of saggy skin and when a minimally invasive procedure cannot achieve excellent results. By reshaping the face, the oval and the neck, the facelift rejuvenates the person from six to eight years depending on the patient, and its results last on average ten years. It can be combined with eyelid surgery, facial lipostructure or neck liposuction.

For a facelift, patients must be non-smokers and in good health. This is a primary criterion in the addressed concerns in order to ensure that the procedure is both safe and effective and that it produces high quality and lasting results. Among the concerns that will need to be addressed with the facelift, we note:
The modern facelift allows a natural rejuvenation, thus avoiding excessive skin stretch and the frozen appearance left with older techniques. It is a matter of repositioning the deep structures of the face which have relaxed and sagged over time. The goal is to achieve a natural result with a minimal risk and a quick recovery time. Depending on the area that needs to be treated, there are three types of facelifts:
These techniques are often combined with fat transfer and aesthetic medicine techniques (peelings, lasers, botulinum toxin, etc.) to achieve more effective rejuvenation looks. Depending on the severity of the loose skin, the scars will be short. If there is not a lot of loose skin, a minimally invasive facelift using suspension threads can be proposed.
A first consultation is systematically carried out before a cosmetic surgery operation. This is the opportunity for your doctor to learn more about your expectations and needs. He will also examine your face as a whole and adapt his treatment to your body type.
Every surgeon has its own facelifting method. However, some basic steps will always be performed out to help the procedure run smoothly:
After the procedure, you will notice the emergence of an edema and bruises on your face. These will go away on their own after a few days. You may also feel some pain, but this can be relieved by taking analgesics.
Facelifting dramatically improves the appearance of the face. Putting back under tension the various anatomical structures (skin, muscles, fat) of the face and neck allows the patient to regain the appearance that was theirs ten years ago.
After two to three months, the mirror already gives a good image of what the final result will be. The scars, which are still a little pink, fade around the sixth month. The face presents a rested, relaxed and refreshed appearance.
The result must be visible while being discreet with well camouflaged scars, an intact ear lobe, a harmonious skin replacement without creases and above all no aesthetic incongruities that attract the eye such as a mouth shaped like a fish.
A facelift usually lasts ten to twelve years. A second procedure can be performed after this time, but this is not necessary in most cases. In fact, a facelift will not prevent the normal aging of the face.
Choose a modern and innovative cosmetic surgery for a unique and natural result which is adapted to your desires and needs.
