Face and neck lifting

We all know that after 30 years, the skin condition is deteriorating to some extent. There is a stretching of its surface layer, which leads to the appearance of ugly folds on the face and neck. Thanks to modern plastic surgery, it became possible to deceive the time.

Who is shown facial and neck lifting?

Face and neck lifting is one of the most effective ways to combat wrinkles and folds that are inevitable for any person. Lifting not only changes the appearance of a person, improving it, it also returns the feeling of a former youth, a sense of self-confidence, love of life.

Face and neck lifting is shown to people who are used to watching their appearance, public people. It should be noted that very rarely do just lifting the neck without touching the face. Usually patients need comprehensive care.

And so, what is lifting?

Under lifting it is customary to understand the removal of skin folds and wrinkles by tightening the skin. It should be noted that this operation is a fairly serious surgical intervention, accompanied by extensive delamination of the skin, which must be tightened. This means that having decided on skin lifting, you should take seriously all the recommendations of the surgeon.

The operation takes no more than 1.5-2 hours with lifting only the skin of the face or neck, and up to 4 hours - when working with face and neck skin in the complex. After the operation, it is mandatory to stay in the hospital for 2-10 days, depending on the circumstances.

Partial and full lifting

There are partial and full suspenders.

With a full lift, the skin is removed from both sides of the face. The cuts are made along the edge of the hair growth on the head, from the forehead to the behind-the-ear area. The auricle at the same time bends so that the seam is not noticeable. Next, the skin exfoliates to the part of the cheeks, chin and front of the neck, then pull it up and remove the excess. Thus, it is possible to smooth wrinkles in the corners of the eyes, furrows on the cheeks, skin folds on the chin and on the neck.

Of course, during the operation, symmetry is observed: the incisions are located equally, the skin is peeled and pulled up, seams are placed - symmetrically on both sides of the face.

With partial lifting, or partial lifting, skin is stretched on separate sites - neck, forehead, upper eyelids and cheekbones. Skin incisions, as in the case of a full brach, are made along the border of hair growth, however in small areas - only on the temples, only on the forehead, only in the behind-the-bone region. In all the rest, the operation is similar to the operation with full lifting.

Also, the lifting of the face is not only a tightening of the skin, but, if necessary, a complex operation, including a tightening of the muscular tissues. Although in this case the operation is more expensive, the effect persists for a longer time.

And what about the result?

After lifting (face and neck), on average, you can become younger for 5 - 10 years. If we talk about how long the result of the operation will last, it largely depends on the patient: his diet, lifestyle.

Face and neck lifting: contraindications

Facial and neck lifting is not recommended for patients younger than 40 and older than 65 years. In the first case, it is possible to solve the problem in non-operational ways. In elderly people, surgery may well lead to negative consequences, since skin regeneration at this age is significantly reduced.

Facial and neck lifting, like any other surgical intervention, is fraught with risks. To undergo this operation, it is necessary to undergo diagnostic procedures, which exclude the presence of contraindications to the tightening. Lifting is contraindicated in people suffering from diabetes, blood clotting disorders, severe forms of internal organs diseases.
