NECK/FACE LIFT

Rhytidectomy (face lift) is the intervention that sculpts and reshapes the face and neck skin, giving them a fresher and younger look and improving the profile by removing the excessive skin and retensioning the underlying muscle layer.

The procedure can be circumscribed to an area of the face or extended to the entire face, depending on the individual need. The scars are mostly located in ordinarily unseen areas; a short scar segment, located in front of the pinna, normally becomes imperceptible within a few weeks.

The face rejuvenation effect achieved with the lift can be enhanced by simultaneously or subsequently combining liposculpture and/or blepharoplasty.

Surgery is a few hours long under general anesthesia and inpatient treatment. The result is pleasant right away, even though masked by the inevitable post-operative swelling (which tends to regress in the following days).

Small superficial wrinkles or other minor defects that cannot be eliminated with a lift, can be improved by using ancillary therapies such as fillers, lipofilling, chemical peels and lasers.
