What is face lift surgery?

To overcome the marks caused by aging, the cervicofacial lift is the intervention of choice that can reshape your lower face and neck.

By removing the extra skin at the jowls and neck retendant, the oval face becomes harmonious.

After a cervicofacial lift, facial appearance is younger, fresher, more rested with a quite natural result.

The cervicofacial lift does not correct nor the top of the face (forehead, eyelids) or the nasolabial folds or wrinkles of the lips. To overcome these shortcomings, other surgical procedures are associated.

Principle of facelift

Resection of skin surplus is made after deep peeling of the skin is tightened and repositioned. The sagging skin is thus corrected.

Neck muscles are tightened, helping to reshape sagging structures.

Often associated to cervicofacial lift liposuction to give back to the neck, chin and jowls more refined appearance.

Conversely, if the face is thin and gaunt, the correction is done by autologous fat injections (lipofilling or Lipostructure) to restore volume to the face at the cheekbones and nasolabial folds.

Thus the oval of the face and neck are reshaped.

The scars are placed in the hair and in front and behind the ears, they are well hidden and will be almost invisible with time.

From the first signs of aging that is to say, about 40 or 45 years the head and neck lift can be practiced.
