Let's look at facelift techniques.
The most popular today are: – SMAS; – endoscopic; – deep; – S-shaped; – MACS; – on the middle part of the face; – on the temporal region; – on the cervical region; – using Aptos threads.
We will talk in detail about each of the facelift techniques below.
Traditional circular facial surgery
It is carried out mainly for patients over 45 - 50 years old, it is aimed at solving significant age-related changes and allows you to rejuvenate your appearance by 10 - 20 years. It is performed under general anesthesia or a combination of local anesthesia and light intravenous sedation.
The surgeon makes an incision in the temporal area along the hairline, then goes down in the front of the ear, goes around the lobe and passes into the hairy part of the occipital region. Next, the skin is peeled off from the adjacent tissues (this also means muscle tissue is peeled off), stretched, the excess is cut off and, finally, the tissues are fixed in a new position and stitched.
The duration of circular plastic surgery is 3-4 hours.
After the operation, the patient's face is wrapped in sterile surgical bandages, which are removed after 1-2 days.
Sutures are usually removed after 10 days, traces of incisions are visible within 2-3 weeks.
Despite the high level of trauma, the location of the incisions in natural folds makes it possible to hide the traces of the operation from prying eyes; after 6-12 months, the scars become completely invisible.
Traditional facelift provides long-lasting and simply amazing results! Even in 10-15 years you will look much younger than your peers!
SMAS facelift
Currently, the extended SMAS lift is the best known and most frequently performed technique. It is indicated for patients under 45 years of age, but can also be performed at older ages. SMAS stands for muscular aponeurotic system, it covers the fatty tissue and keeps the facial muscles in their normal position. Plastic surgery that affects muscle tissue is called “SMAS-lifting” and is one of the traditional types. Working out the muscle complex guarantees a more obvious and lasting rejuvenating effect.
During the operation, incisions are made both in front of the auricle and behind it, extending into the scalp, then the superficial muscular aponeurotic system is mobilized and sutured in a new position. SMAS lifting lasts about 1.5 - 2.5 hours.
After SMAS, the sutures inside the ear are removed on days 5-7, behind the ears - on days 10-12.
Scars become almost invisible after 2 months.
Complete rehabilitation occurs in 2-3 months.
SMAS technique allows you to perform the most complete rejuvenation, at almost all levels! The results will be amazing within 10 - 15 years!
