Forehead lift

Forehead lift allows the patient to look fresher and younger. This is achieved by alignment the forehead skin, reducing the vertical "frown wrinkles" and raising the level of the eyebrows. Through this procedure, you will get maximum results and will look younger than your years, without revealing signs of surgical operation and without changing your appearance drastically.

With the increasing aging the amount of collagen produced by cells decreases and the subcutaneous tissues are stretching in a natural way. This causes sagging skin, the appearance of the wrinkles on the forehead, the eyebrows droop that, in general, gives a persona tired and sad look, making him older. In extreme cases, eyebrows are lowered so much that even affect eyesight. Brow lift or forehead lift is a procedure that preserves the freshness of youth for upper area of the face. The procedure prevents sagging eyebrows and smoothes the horizontal forehead wrinkles and deep longitudinal wrinkles, giving a human face angry, sad or tired expression. Forehead lift will also help to get rid of a fleshy brow or innately "rugged" forehead, which sometimes gives to a person too severe or aggressive look.


Midface Lift

Lifting of the midface is different from traditional liftings. This operation provides a vertical lift of sagging skin on the cheeks, smoothes the skin of the face and restores it to its circular contour. During surgery, the surgeon tightens and repositions subcutaneous soft tissues in the area between the eyes and mouth that, as a result will help the patient return to a fresh look. The tendency of recent years suggests that patients apply for this procedure before the traditional facelift at the age of 40-45, and that is precisely the age when the aging of the skin becomes visible.

In contrast to the traditional facelift, designed for skin tightening on the face and neck, even the operation of lifting the middle third of the face is aimed at correcting sagging skin around the eyes and cheekbones. This type of face lift eliminates the early signs of aging, rejuvenating the appearance of the patient. The results of operations could be significantly improved by a combination of tightening the midface lift with forehead and eyelids. This combination of plastic manipulation greatly refreshes and rejuvenates the middle zone of the face. Patients aged 40-50 years can quickly improve their appearance, using the procedure, traces of which remain undetected (they are located on the temple and inside the mouth).


Cheek lift

Rhytidectomy allows to eliminate wrinkles, sagging and laxity of the skin on the cheeks. Facelift cannot completely eliminate the nasolabial folds and bags under the eyes, wrinkles on upper lip, in the outer corners of the eyes and forehead. For this purpose, other treatments may require - injectable methods of eliminating wrinkles. Technical characteristics of each operation may differ; however, the general rules are the same in most cases. Incision of the skin begins at the scalp in the temporal area, goes around the ear and ends at the back.

 Most of this section is hidden on the scalp. Leather of the temples, cheeks and neck is peeled from the underlying tissue, pulled upwards and backwards, excess of the skin and fat is removed. Frequently not only the skin, but a layer between the skin and muscles, the so-called SMAS, and deeper facial structure are pulled up.

 

 This allows to get more stable effect of the operation. Almost always, some additional procedures are carried out: removing localized fat deposits in the area under the cheeks. The operation lasts 2-4 hours, local anesthesia or intravenous anesthesia can be used.


Neck lift

With the help of lifting of the neck sagging skin on the neck and under the lower jaw can be reduced. As a rule, the first signs of aging appear there. Sudden weight loss also leads to a decrease in skin elasticity and its sagging. Neck Lift eliminates the negative effects of these phenomena, reduces wrinkles and makes the skin fresh and supple. Surgeons use a technique in which incisions are located at the hair line and under the chin and leave unnoticed. Signs of aging are manifested differently in different areas of the face and neck. Some patients in these places have defects because of the effects of solar ultraviolet radiation and a large number of wrinkles. Furthermore, some patients complain about excessive thinness of their necks, and others - about the fat deposits accumulated in the neck. However, there are patients whose defects are the aging process. These people complain about the obesity of the neck, horizontal folds, the "double chin" or "turkey neck". Clients of this group are recommended a neck lift - the results of operations will be most advantageous.
