Circular face lift

Circular face lift

Circular facelift (another name is facelift) belongs to the category of the most demanded surgical interventions of our time. With this operation, you can effectively eliminate age-related changes. The result of a circular facelift provides the most lasting cosmetic effect from all aesthetic procedures. If all recommendations are followed, the result is maintained for 15-20 years.

A circular facelift belongs to the category of complex and multifaceted surgical interventions that put forward special requirements for the competence of plastic surgeons. The specialists of the clinic of Andrey Leonidovich Kharkov have been working very successfully in this direction for a long time, constantly developing and implementing truly effective methods of rejuvenation.

With the help of complex rejuvenation, you can not only restore the oval of the face, correct the periorbital zone and eyelids, but also tighten the neck.

Indications for circular face lift

Circular facelift will be needed if the following indications are present:

• The presence of wrinkles (mimic, static wrinkles between the eyebrows, on the forehead).
• Vertical wrinkles in the cheek area.
• Descent of the outer corners of the eyes, eyelids.
• The presence of a “double chin”.
• Ptosis of the soft tissues of the cheeks (presence of “flews”).

Varieties of facelift

Depending on the available indications, the following facelift options are distinguished:

• Skin lifting

This is a low-traumatic procedure that involves lifting and removing excess skin in the neck and face.

• Endoscopic lifting

This is the so-called “young face lifting”. This procedure is an excellent prevention of aging. It is advisable to resort to it at the age of 30 to 45 years. This is a complex of endoscopic techniques that allow you to correct the first signs of aging. Also, endoscopic lifting allows you to level further tissue ptosis. The aging process of the face slows down significantly.

The procedure is carried out on the basis of microscopic punctures using high-precision endoscopic equipment. Thus, you can achieve the most significant aesthetic effect without any evident traces of surgical intervention.

There are such varieties: lifting of the lower, middle and upper third of the face.

• Musculocutaneous lifting – SMAS

The skin and SMAS (musculo-aponeurotic system of the face) are fixed in a new position. Surgical intervention has a more lasting effect.

• Deep SMAS lifting combined with endoscopic assistance

This is a complex surgery that is performed in the neck and face. The cheek area (that is, the middle zone), the angle of the lower jaw, the young oval of the face can be easily corrected. All this is combined with a neck lift.

A plastic surgeon performs all manipulations strictly under the control of endoscopic equipment. Thus, a high precision of the plastic surgeon’s work is ensured. At the same time, the neurovascular network is completely preserved, the occurrence of hematomas and extensive bruises after surgery is prevented.

Particular features of circular facelift

Like any other types of surgery, a circular facelift is performed only after a preliminary examination. At this stage, not only indications, but also contraindications for surgical intervention are identified.

Two weeks before a circular facelift, you should stop smoking, drinking alcohol and taking medications that affect the blood clotting process (for example, from aspirin).

Circular facelift can be performed both on individual areas and on the entire face. In most cases, a zonal facelift is used:

• The temporal region and forehead (in the upper third of the face).
• The area of ​​the cheekbones, temples, mandibular region (in the middle third of the face).
• Neck, chin, lower jaw (in the lower third of the face).

Circular lifting is carried out on the basis of a surgical effect on soft tissues. During the operation, the surgeon makes incisions in the temporal and occipital regions. The next stage is tissue suturing. Thus, the patient gets rid of stretched and sagging skin areas.

In most cases, a circular facelift is done after 40 years. It is at this age that a woman begins to have significant changes in the skin, which require competent correction.

If necessary, a combination of various options for surgical intervention can be performed. It all depends on the indications and the patient’s personal preferences.

Circular facelift is performed through micro incisions along the edge of the face. It is through these incisions that the plastic surgeon removes excess adipose tissue and skin tissue. At the final stage of the plastic surgery, the surgeon applies cosmetic stitches.

The duration of the surgery is within 180 minutes. A circular facelift is a truly gem work that requires real skill from a plastic surgeon.
