Lifting is a cosmetic surgery whose main objective is to rejuvenate the face and neck, correcting signs of aging such as:
- Loss of volume and sagging: Sunken cheeks, loss of definition in the facial oval and sagging of the neck.
- Deep wrinkles: Marked lines around the eyes, mouth and between the nose and the corners of the lips.
- Saggy skin and excess oil: Double chin, double neck and poorly defined facial contours.
Procedure
During surgery, small incisions are made in the natural folds of the eyelids. These incisions allow the surgeon to access the areas to be treated and remove excess skin and fat. This procedure can be combined with other facial procedures, for comprehensive rejuvenating management.
Recovery and results
It's normal to experience some swelling and bruising during the first few days, which will gradually decrease over the next few weeks. The younger, more rested appearance will be seen in one to two months, and the scars, after a year, will be refined or will disappear.
