LIFTING
WHAT IS LIFTING?
As we age, the bones of the skull become smaller, the skin loses elasticity, the fatty compartments atrophy and give way to the effect of gravity, so that the skin sags, which tends to accumulate in the lower part of the face and the
neck.
A facelift is a cosmetic surgery that aims to re-adapt excess skin to the underlying structures.
A facelift is one of the best aesthetic procedures to eliminate wrinkles and restore smoothness to the face. Some areas of the face require additional interventions apart from the facelift, such as blepharoplasty or liplift
Thus, the objective of the facelift is:
- Eliminate the deepest wrinkles on the entire face and neck.
- Eliminate the furrows and folds of the lips, chin, forehead and neck.
- Improve the aesthetics of the jaw area.
In most cases, it is an outpatient surgery that does not require hospitalization. After the intervention, the patient can go home. If hospitalization is required, it would only be one day at most.
The incisions made for the lifting are practically imperceptible, since they are made in places hidden from view.
WHAT TYPES OF LIFTING ARE THERE?
There are many types of lifting depending on what your needs are.
1) FRONT LIFT
Corrects the position of the eyebrows, wrinkles between the eyebrows and crow’s feet.
2) TEMPORAL LIFTING
To lift the look and eyebrows, eliminating wrinkles. Sometimes a direct pexia can be used for the same purpose.
3) FACE LIFTING
Corrects the central area of the face: cheekbones and jaw.
4) CERVICAL LIFTING
Corrects sagging muscles and stretches the neck.
MINI LIFTING
Through a small incision in the sideburn area, the surgeon accesses the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) and tightens it with a suture, providing smoothness to the middle third of the face. This type of lifting is suitable for incipient to moderate sagging without much excess skin. It is important that the sagging does not affect the lower third of the face, since this small approach cannot traction this area. The surgery is performed with local anesthesia and in some cases sedation, and recovery is very fast (3 or 4 days). The result is subtle and natural.
MACSLIFT
The Macs lift (Minimal Access Cranial Suspension lift) is a minimally invasive facelift with a short recovery time. The incision is made in the area of the sideburns and the anterior line of the ear, leaving it very hidden. Through this approach we reach the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) and reposition it following the vectors of the face, suturing it in the new position. The excess skin is then removed. This surgery improves the middle and lower thirds of the face, and is indicated for medium to moderate sagging, for which the mini lift is not sufficient. The face is stylized and its smoothness is regained. It is performed on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia and sometimes sedation, and recovery is relatively quick: 1 or 2 weeks.
