Face Lifting

Facelift -Lifting

With time, gravity, exposure to sunlight and the stress of everyday life change the appearance of our face and neck. Deep wrinkles appear next to the mouth, relaxes the jaw and the neck develops loose folds and fat deposits.

Lifting the face erases these signs of age through muscle tightening and fat removal and excess skin, giving your face a fresher and more youthful appearance. After surgery, some patients look 10-15 years younger!

Facial lifting, also known as a wrinkleectomy, renews the middle and lower part of the face and neck.

Face lift is most effective in patients who want to correct:

• Deep wrinkles under the eyes
• Relaxation of the average person
• Deep wrinkles between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds)
• Loose areas of fat
• Loose skin and fat under the jaw and jaw

What doesn't fix the face lift?

• The lifting of the face can improve the appearance of patients with the above problems, but it can be understood that the lifting of the face cannot "freeze" the process of old age. Over time, signs of old age will appear again.
• Additionally, the face lift does not renew eyebrows, eyelids and nose. Patients who want to improve these areas should consider combining face lift with blepharoplasty or rhinoplasty.
• Injectable fillers, botox and laser skin resurfacing can improve the results of a face lift.
