About the service:
A facelift is an operation (or several) of plastic surgery, the purpose of which is to correct age-related changes and rejuvenate. This can be either minimally invasive endoscopic intervention or more traditional plastic surgery.
What are the types and methods of facelift? The face consists of several anatomical areas: the temples (which includes the forehead), the middle and lower parts of the face, as well as the neck, which we also work with. Accordingly, we can distinguish facelifting of the upper, middle, lower parts of the face and neck. In practice, we most often perform the following types of facelifts:
• lifting of the oval of the face (circular lifting);
• lifting of the lower triangle of the face (middle and lower parts) and neck;
• temporal lifting;
• forehead lift;
• eyebrow lift.
In the transitional period, when age-related changes do not yet require significant surgical intervention (the patient is under the age of 38-42), we perform partial endoscopic lifts, for example, temporal lift, cheek lift or endoscopic midzone lift.
How is facelift surgery performed? Since we are talking about surgical intervention, before facial plastic surgery you should undergo examinations, do standard tests (clinical blood test, urine test, coagulogram) and attend a consultation with an anesthesiologist.
Facelift operations are performed in the operating room, under general or local anesthesia, depending on what kind of intervention is being performed. Most often, this is sedation combined with local anesthesia - this way the surgeon has enough time to carry out all the manipulations (a complex intervention, such as a circular facelift, can last 3-5 hours), and the patient does not remember the operation and is not afraid.
