What are the indications for face lifting
There are many physiological processes in our body that lead to loss of elasticity and volume of facial tissues
with
age. This is caused by an imbalance of hormones, a decrease in the intensity of metabolic processes, a change in
the
properties of the bone system. Collagen production also decreases, adipose tissue is lost in those areas where
it
was necessary, but appears where it is undesirable. You can use the most modern and expensive cosmetics, but
they
will only affect the surface layers of your skin.
If we talk about indications for a facelift, this is ptosis of the face. Ptosis is characterized by the lowering
of
the soft tissues of the face as a result of a decrease in the contractility of the muscles, as well as the
elastic
properties of the skin. Ptosis of the lower part of the face manifests itself as wrinkles and folds on the neck,
the
so-called rings of Venus, the chin-neck angle is smoothed. In this case, a neck lift will help you – an
operation,
the price is attractive, considering what an amazing result you will see. When the process affects the middle
third
of the face, nasolabial furrows appear, nasolabial folds, as well as pouches under the eyes, cheeks droop and
flaps
appear, which greatly spoils the oval of the face. As for the upper part of the face, wrinkles appear on the
forehead and bridge of the nose, the corners of the eyes and the outer edges of the eyebrows drop, there is an
overhang of the eyelids. You can easily determine how pronounced ptosis is if, standing at the mirror, you pull
the
skin slightly upward on the cheekbones and forehead. If at the same time the appearance of the skin changes
greatly,
it is smoothed, then you should consider a facelift. But remember that you need to pay attention to what
formations
you have on your skin, for example, moles and age spots.
You should contact a plastic surgeon if you use fillers often enough, because over time they may not be enough.
A
facelift is an excellent option for those who have a second chin due to the presence of a large amount of
subcutaneous fat. There is a myth that a facelift is performed only for women. This is not the case at all,
these
events are also successfully carried out by men. Moreover, the demand for a facelift among men is only growing.
The ideal age for face lifting is from forty to sixty years. The first signs of aging appear, but the elasticity
of
the skin is preserved. The procedure is successfully carried out up to eighty years. So if you are worried about
whether it is possible to perform a facelift after 50, the answer is definitely positive.
Modern lifting techniques
All techniques can be divided into two large groups - surgical and non-surgical. Surgical procedures include
circular facelift, mini-facelift. Among the newest are endoscopic facelift, tragus lift, lifting with the help
of
endotines.
The result of postoperative techniques lasts up to five and a half years. As for non-surgical methods, the
spectrum
is also quite wide here - hardware lifting, the use of injection techniques, grinding and threadlift. However,
such
methods are shown, if the skin changes are not so significant, the effect will last up to a year.
Non-surgical facelift is used if you need to delay the operation or improve the result. A wide range of
techniques
allows you to create a better version of yourself, remove lumps of bich, the price will please you, the result
will
justify the invested funds.
Surgical facelift techniques
Mini face lifting operation
If there is a slight sagging, as well as sagging skin, this method is suitable. The essence of the operation is
that
the plastic surgeon makes an incision along the line where hair growth begins, as well as above the ears and
around
each ear in a natural fold. Then the soft tissues are tightened, excess skin is removed and stitches are
applied.
Circular facelift option
The operation is for those who noticed that there were significant signs of aging. At the same time, more deeply
located tissues are tightened. Usually, structures that are part of the superficial muscular-aponeurotic system
are
involved, they are located between the muscle tissue and the fat layer. Incisions are made from the area behind
the
line where hair growth begins, at the level of the temples and then extend around each ear in a natural fold.
The
tissues are tightened and fixed, after removing the excess amount of skin, stitches are applied.
Endoscopy in plastic surgery
The advantage of this method is that small incisions are used – up to two centimeters. After making four such
punctures, the plastic surgeon inserts an endoscope. This is a special device in the form of a tube with a
built-in
camera.
Images of tissues and other structures are displayed on the monitor, and the doctor uses instruments to perform
the
operation, correcting the tissues. If you are concerned about wrinkles on the forehead, consider the option of
an
endoscopic forehead lift, the price will not frighten you at all, because the technique provides a long-lasting
result, and the most modern technologies are used when working.
Tragus lift
This operation also refers to mini-operations, the surgeon makes an incision along the tragus. The tragus is
located
on the front side of the ear, it is a cartilaginous protrusion.
Lifting with endotines
The essence of the method is that endotines are placed under the skin – special plates with teeth that have
elasticity. They will fix the position of the facial structures and resolve after three months. Just then the
tissues will already grow together.
Non-surgical facelift methods
Hardware lifting techniques
Collagen is produced more intensively due to the effect of the device on the skin. The skin becomes more
elastic,
and wrinkles are smoothed out. The most modern equipment is used. It is used as a procedure with the influence
of
ultrasound, as well as radio wave technology, as well as photo- and micro-needle lifting. During photolifting,
light
pulses affect the skin.
Facelift by injection
Hyaluronic acid is used in the area of the lips, cheeks and around the eyes. Thanks to botox injections, facial
muscles relax, creases do not form. With the help of the lipofilling procedure, the patient is injected with his
own
fat, and thus the volumes are restored where necessary.
During plasmolifting, the patient`s plasma is used, with the help of it, the production of collagen is
stimulated.
Mesotherapy is also actively used – the introduction of drugs that improve the condition of the skin. The
grinding
method consists in laser exposure and stimulation of collagen formation, as well as skin renewal processes.
Correction of facial structures using mesonites is also used.
How long does the effect of the procedure last
Face lifting using surgical techniques preserves the effect for up to five and a half years. Only on the neck
the
skin gradually takes on its former appearance. You will definitely be delighted with the result after such an
operation. To preserve the result, try to avoid sharp fluctuations in the weight level, and also take care of
the
skin with the help of cosmetics, for this consult with a cosmetologist. When using non-surgical techniques, the
effect will last up to a year.
