AddressesFace lifting is not determined by the age of each patient but from the facial appearance and how we feel about ourselves, as the first signs of aging appear. Deep wrinkles appear around the mouth relaxing the jaw and neck which results in loose folds and fat deposits in our face.
A face lifting erases these signs of aging by tightening the muscles and removing fat and excess skin, giving your face a fresher and more youthful appearance.
Lifting the face & neck
Facelift, also known as rhytidectomy renews the medium and lower part of the face and neck.
Facelift is most effective in patients who want to correct:
Deep wrinkles under and around the eye area
Facial sagging
Deep wrinkles between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds)
Loose fat areas
Loose skin and fat under the chin
Often, what causes you to take a closer look on your face is the repeated comments of your own people that you look tired. This is when you notice nasolabial lines (extending from the tip of the nose to the mouth edges) and that you have loose skin on the cheeks or neck respectively. Even the cheekbone areas appear often wrinkled or aged, which contribute to a "sad", tired-looking appearance. Although not everyone is bothered by these first signs of facial aging, more and more people -men and women- resort to plastic cosmetic surgery to regain back their facial firmness and freshness.
Research psychologists have shown that a facelift is undergone by those with high self-esteem that want to maintain their well-being and good physical condition. For this category of people, a facelift is another way to show their internal energy, to improve their appearance and to feel they are in control of their lives.
