Doctors recommend thinking about performing an operation in the period from 40 to 60 years. This is the most appropriate age, since during this time period the face and neck are just beginning the aging process. But the elasticity of the tissues is still at a normal level, and the bone structures of the face have not undergone gross age-related changes. If it seems to you that it`s too late to do a facelift at 50 years on the contrary is the most suitable age for face lifting surgery.

The most basic reason solved by a circular facelift is the elimination of advancing aging. With the help of the procedure, the sagging lower part of the face, excess adipose tissue is removed, ptosis in the zygomatic zone is eliminated, tissue tone is given. The operation will also be useful for those who have dramatically lost a lot of weight, and now the skin of the face is hanging down very much.

Before face plastic surgery, you should refrain from any cosmetic procedures. Otherwise, it may delay the date of the operation. There should be no extraneous interference with the skin. If we talk about cosmetology after a facelift, then it is not prohibited. The patient will be able to return to these procedures, but only after full rehabilitation.

The durability of the result directly depends on the individuality of your body, how quickly it ages and how it affects the skin. On average, the effect can last about 8-10 years, until the next moment of aging.

When the skin loses its youthful appearance again, sagges, wrinkles appear, then the procedure can be repeated. This usually happens after 7-10 years. Again, the contour of the lines and the lost oval of the face are restored.

The preparation can include a number of examinations and tests, which are characterized by blood sampling (for sugar, for clotting, group and Rh factor), biochemical and general urine analysis, and so on.

Of the mandatory examinations, an electrocardiogram and an overview X-ray of the chest organs are isolated. An examination by a therapist and an anesthesiologist is also carried out. Facial massage is recommended, which reduces the risk of complications.

The seams are located in natural folds, where they will be seen minimally. But some seams will be on the open part. However, despite their presence, it is unlikely that anyone will be able to notice them, since modern technologies allow them to be made virtually invisible.

First of all, everything depends on the volume, depth and traumaticity of the surgical intervention, as well as on the characteristics of the patient`s body. If we take it in general, then a full recovery will last up to 2 months.

The rehabilitation period includes:

• Hospital stay (1-5 days)
• Suture removal (from 4 to 12 days)
• Anesthesia and antibiotics (1-7 days)
• Compression bandage and mask (from 1 day to 2 weeks)
• Reduction of edema and resorption of hematomas (2-4 weeks)

Visiting saunas, tanning salons, applying makeup, washing your hair, returning to a full life and physical activity will be possible in 1-2 months.

An open method is shared when a classic skin incision is performed, and all subsequent actions are carried out through it. There is also an endoscopic method: in this case, short skin incisions or punctures are performed, and all further manipulations are done with the help of an endoscope.
