Facial rejuvenation. Plastic surgery Facelift

Maintaining the elasticity of the skin, its youthfulness, clear contours of the face is the dream of many. Today, a well-groomed appearance is a sign of good taste. Modern cosmetic methods are now helping to preserve it. Among them is skin rejuvenation with the help of a facelift. This method of skin rejuvenation is actively used by Andrey Kharkov as atraumatic and minimally invasive.

What problems can be solved with a facelift?

Facelift (also known as SMAS lifting) is the most common facelift for patients in the 45+ age group. Usually, it happens at this age when the signs of aging take over the face and neck. With such a volume of age-related changes, Andrey Kharkov recommends a full-fledged face and neck lift. In particular, facelift will help remove jowls, nasolabial folds that add age to the face.

Facelift allows you to correct:

• Sagging cheeks.
• Chin area.
• The oval of the face (the so-called “jowls”).
• Anterior/lateral surface of the skin.
• The middle part of the face.
• Nasolabial folds.

Facelift techniques

Depending on the available indications, one of the methods of facelifting is used. The optimal technique is selected by the plastic surgeon during the initial consultation. At the same time, in addition to the indications, Andrey Kharkov takes into account your individual characteristics and the desired result.

Circular face lifting

This is a face and neck lift, which allows you to eliminate pronounced age-related changes.  The procedure is recommended in the presence of pronounced aesthetic defects.

Mid-face lifting

With this facelift option, you can get rid of the following problems:

• Sagging and drooping cheeks.
• Ptosis of the skin under the eyes.
• Swelling on the cheekbones.

In most cases, facelift of the middle part of the face is combined with lower blepharoplasty.

Upper lifting

It involves forehead plastic surgery or an eyebrow lift, perfectly raises eyebrows, eliminates horizontal wrinkles in the forehead, and makes the look young and open.

Lower lifting

During the procedure, plastic surgery and chin lift are performed. Lower lifting allows you to form a clear oval of the face, folds around the mouth, etc.

Features of facial rejuvenation with the help of facelift

Facelift is a rather complicated operation. Its duration is 2-3 hours.  If an upper or lower facelift was chosen, the patient spends from 40 minutes to 1.5 hours in the operating room.

During the facelift, Andrey Kharkov strengthens the muscular-aponeurotic system of the face. That is, a kind of framework is formed. In addition, excess adipose tissue and fat in the chin area are removed.

If the chin is not sufficiently developed, its projection can be increased during the lower facelift. In some cases, surgeries are performed that combine different types of facelifts. The incisions are securely hidden in the scalp and near the auricle. After healing, the scars are almost invisible.

Due to the strengthening of the musculo-aponeurotic system, a long-term facelift effect is ensured.
