It’s the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the world, together with new liposuction, the most accomplished in the field of cosmetic surgery. We are talking about the face lift, now called new facelift to distinguish it from that carried out with the old techniques. What is it? It’s a surgery procedure performed by highly qualified personnel, a medical team led by a plastic surgeon who “lift-up” the facial skin to make wrinkles disappear together with signs of aging. Explained in this way it is pretty simple, but it’s for giving at the moment the idea. Now let’s see in detail.

We have already explained the basic idea behind face lift and what’s the meaning of “lift”. Skin will be stretched and the imperfections will disappear. You can test yourself with both hands, pull up your face, for sure you see the wrinkles disappear ,but what you notice besides this? Perhaps your face expression is a little strange? That’s right, a bad face lift wille be visible, makes you ugly, with a “strange” look, face betrays you so that’s why do not exaggerated with the demands, otherwise the results could be worse then expectations.

Before to start with the new facelift, you have to do several medical tests. It’s a surgery procedure that includes tests such as: blood, urine, electrocardiogram, tests for allergies, etc … Before the intervention there will be a series of meetings with your surgeon who will explain how he wishes to “work” with the new face lift listening obviously your requests.

Now we are ready. What’s happen now? Your doctor will prepare your face marked on it lines to engrave later with scalpel. The operation includes the “detachment” of the skin and muscles from the substrate included that undere forehead and also those posed at the root of the nose. Later they wille be pulled up and anchored to the scalp. Obviously, each face lift is different. If you are “working” only on the upper face of the skin will be anchored and hidden in the scalp, if you are interested in the mid and lower part of face, skin and muscles will be anchored behind the ears.

The duration of the face lift procedure is about a couple of hours but depends (full facelift or mini facelift) and the postoperative instruction provide 48 hours of rest. The first week face will appear swollen but after 2 or 3 weeks you can return to your normal life.
