Overview of Facial Lifting

Facial lifting, also known as rhytidectomy, is an advanced surgical procedure aimed at restoring facial youth and harmony, combating natural signs of aging. With satisfaction rates above 85%, this procedure provides a more youthful and natural appearance, correcting facial sagging and deep lines that develop over time.

Evaluation and Decision Process

The decision to undergo facial lifting should be based on various factors. The most common signs indicating the need for the procedure include neck sagging, double chin, loss of jawline definition, and deep wrinkles. Non-surgical alternatives may include dermal fillers or less invasive procedures, though with more limited and temporary results.

Procedure Preparation

Proper preparation is essential and includes comprehensive laboratory tests, cardiac evaluation, and adjustments to current medication. It's essential to stop smoking at least one month before surgery and avoid medications that affect blood clotting. For the procedure day, arrange transportation and post-operative care.

The Surgical Procedure

Modern facial lifting employs different techniques, from traditional lifting to minimally invasive approaches. The procedure typically involves discreet incisions around the ears, allowing repositioning of underlying tissues and removal of excess skin. Surgery can last 3 to 5 hours, depending on the extent of work needed.

Recovery Process

Initial recovery requires approximately two weeks of specific care. Swelling and possible bruising are normal in the first days. Warning signs requiring immediate medical attention include intense pain, high fever, or pronounced asymmetry. Return to activities should be gradual and follow medical guidance.
