find out how facelift rejuvenate your face - prices, photos and sophisticated concepts about facelift
The facelift is the art and science of plastic surgery gives the face a younger appearance. It is a highly individualized surgery in which the degree of sagging skin and the bone structure are crucial in the final aesthetic result.
In the modern facelift the incisions are smaller and skin can be adjusted with high precision to achieve perfect healing. Tissue underlyings are repositioned to add volume to the face and result in a smoother and more natural appearance.
There is no ideal formula to perform a "perfect" facelift. Years of discussions do not lead to a consensus on what would be the best technique.
The "perfect" facelift is the result of the work, trial and ability of the plastic surgeons to use the technique that produces the best and most reliable results through their hands.
facelift - surgical possibilities
facelift correct:
facelift correct drooped cheeks, jaw line without definition, flabby neck muscles, excess skin and fat in the neck,
facelift does not correct:
The facelift improves the appearance of the neck and the lower part of the face. Does not improve the appearance in the eye.
The patients with signs of aging in the region of the eye should consider the blepharoplasty together with the facelift.
The facelift does not improve the quality of the skin. Wrinkles, problems of texture, color and irregularities are not improved. Other techniques for facial rejuvenation can complement the result of the facelift and resolve these problems and achieve the full facial rejuvenation.
facelift - results
incisions and scars
The facelift requires an incision that starts from above the ear, following in front of the ear until the back of the ear and extends a few centimeters in the line of hair behind the ear. The facelift requires another small incision under the chin.
Does not exist facelift without scars, exist incisions from especial techniques of plastic surgery that result in scars very difficult to be noticed. The facelift incisions are made in the line of hair and natural fold that circumvent the ear.
duration of results
The facelift can subtract 10 years of age apparent, but does not interrupt the process of aging. For example, suppose you have today 50 years - after the facelift, you will have the look you had at the 40 and when you complete 60, you will probably have the look that you have today at the 50.
multiples facelifts
In 10 years you may want a second facelift or a mini facelift to keep the results of the first lifting. There are no limits on facelifts you can do. However, more than two facelifts can result in unnatural effects. Your plastic surgeon will indicate the ideal time for the second or third facelift.
level of satisfaction
Like many things in life, the more aesthetic change, the more degree of satisfaction. One notable change is always more gratifying than a discreet.
More facial sagging, more aesthetic improvement. If you are 50 years old, you may expect that facelift subtract 10 years of your apparent age - if you have 80, you may expect subtract 20 - if you have 35, you may expect subtract five years.
facelift types
one-layer facelift
One-layer facelift just removes the excess skin of the face, does not adjust the deeper tissues. This technique may be appropriate in some cases, however, many plastic surgeons consider this technique less effective than two-layers facelift.
two-layers facelift
Two-layers facelift is the preferred technique of plastic surgeons. The first layer is the skin of the face and neck. The second layer is formed by the tissue under the skin. The layer under the skin of the face is a very thin and mild fibrous tissue. The layer under the skin of the neck is a large muscle called PLASTIMA.
Two-layers facelift allows the plastic surgeon working independently each layer, resulting in a soft and natural look.
mini facelift
Generally this technique is recommended for patients who need only a small adjustment along the line of the jaw or cheek. It may be useful to keep the results of a standard facelift.
The incisions are shorter than the standard facelift and does not go much above the ear and not far behind the ear.
neck-facelift
Neck-facelift is indicated for people who have only flaccid muscles in the neck without too much skin in the neck and without sagging in the face - a rare combination.
In this technique, the plastic surgeon makes a small incision under the chin, tightens the muscles of the neck and, if necessary, remove the fat neck.
