Rejuvenation and repositioning of tissues
The face lift It is a surgical procedure aimed at eliminating excess skin, repositioning sagging tissue, and reducing the signs of aging, improving overall facial harmony. It is indicated for patients who wish to:
- Relax your face and neck
- Correct tissue sagging
- Reposition the fat compartments
- Reduce the signs of aging
- Get a fresher, more natural look
As we age, facial fat deposits tend to sag, resulting in loss of definition and sagging skin. A facelift allows the tissues to be repositioned harmoniously and lastingly.
During the pre-operative visit, the surgeon evaluates the extent of skin laxity, the degree of tissue ptosis, and facial features, defining the most appropriate technique.
There are several options: the mini-facelift, which acts primarily on the skin, and the sub-SMAS facelift, which works in depth and offers more long-lasting results. In some cases, complementary approaches such as thread traction or lipofilling may also be considered.
- Duration: 3/4 hours
- Anesthesia: general
- Day surgery: yes (without overnight shelter)
The procedure begins with local anesthesia, followed by a preauricular incision. After dissection of the tissue, the SMAS is repositioned higher and the excess skin is removed.
The procedure allows you to obtain a natural result, improving facial tone and definition.
After surgery, a compression dressing is required for approximately 5 days. Recovery times vary depending on the individual's response. Generally:
- Resumption of light activities: about 15 days
- Progressive stabilization of the result in the following weeks
