Facial Lifting

After the age of 30, collagen concentrations decrease notably and one consequence is that the ligaments that support the skin lose firmness and the facial fat pads decrease, causing the appearance of sagging cheeks. In these cases, the rejuvenation treatment is a facelift.

How is the facelift surgery performed?

Depending on the characteristics and severity of aging, different techniques are applied. The most common is the cheek and neck rhytidectomy, which is the medical term given to the facelift.

Incisions are made at the level of the ear, so that they are completely hidden and extend to the back of the neck by the crease that forms between the ear and cheek. Once the muscles and ligaments are repaired in their position, the excess skin is removed. Nowadays, facial rejuvenation is complemented during surgery with fat lipoinjection to replace the lost fat and give that three-dimensional shape to the face. This fat is obtained by lipoinjection with very fine cannulas.

In this way we are able to replace the lost volume to restore a fresh look.
