Age-related changes happen to everyone. They first manifest themselves in the appearance of wrinkles, deepening of nasolabial folds, or drooping of the corners of the lips and eyes. All these are changes in the upper and middle thirds of the face.
The bottom third ages last. Signs appear after 35 years. The most striking of them are a double chin and sagging skin on the neck. Today I want to tell you how you can reverse these changes and regain your youth and beauty.

Kinds
Plastic surgery offers several options for face and neck lifts. The choice of technique depends on the condition of the skin and the needs of the individual patient. The most common:
- A general circumferential facelift is performed by making an incision in the skin along the hairline and removing excess skin. The incisions are closed with sutures, which dissolve after 2 weeks. The operation gives a good result even with severe age-related changes.
- SMAS lifting will help you get rid of deep wrinkles and sagging tissue. The surgeon makes an incision from the front edge of the ear to the back of the head, moves the muscular aponeurotic subcutaneous layer and fixes it in a new place.
- Endoscopic facelift is a minimally invasive technique (lifting is performed through 2-3 small incisions). It is used to eliminate imperfections in the upper and middle part of the face.
- A thread lift is an operation during which the doctor inserts special barbed threads under the skin that cling to the soft tissue and return them to their place.
Skin tightening
Skin tightening is the simplest facial rejuvenation surgery. In this operation, the surgeon works only with the skin and subcutaneous fat, without affecting the deeper structures. This is both good and bad. It’s good because there is minimal trauma and quick rehabilitation. It’s bad because the effect is short-lived: after six months or a year, the wrinkles will return.
They say that some surgeons manage to sell a SMAS lift, but only do skin tightening: for the first six months there is no noticeable difference, and then the surgeon just shrugs his shoulders. But I don’t want to believe it.

How to prepare for a consultation
The first step to plastic surgery for facial rejuvenation is a consultation with a plastic surgeon. We live in dynamic times and we value your time. In order for the consultation to be as effective as possible, at home, in a calm environment, decide for yourself what exactly you don’t like about your appearance. Dig through old photographs, find the ones you like, and take them with you. This way we will be able to identify those age-related changes that need correction, and quickly come to an agreement on the necessary methods. For example, looking in the mirror day after day, it is difficult to notice how the volume of tissue on the cheeks or the volume of the chin has decreased. Looking at a photo from 10-20 years ago, it’s easier to imagine what we want to get.
Write a list of questions that interest you and do not hesitate to bring it up during the consultation. Leave space between questions for notes. Over the years, we have developed an information sheet that contains answers to the most frequently asked questions about facial rejuvenation. You will receive it during your consultation so you can read it calmly at home.
If you would like to take a loved one with you to the consultation, whose opinion you trust, please do so. It is important that your companion understands that he is coming to support you and suggest some questions that you may forget to ask.
Preparing for surgery
Before the operation, the patient must consult with specialists (therapist, surgeon, anesthesiologist), provide the most complete picture of his state of health, as well as undergo tests and procedures (blood test, urine test, chest x-ray, ECG).
It is recommended to give up smoking, alcohol, medications that affect blood clotting, and hormonal drugs at least 2 weeks in advance. The day before the operation you need to limit yourself to food, and on the day of the operation you should not eat at all.
Memo for preparing for facial plastic surgery: tests, prohibitions, recommendations
What results can be expected after surgery and how long does it last?
After the operation, it is possible to restore the clarity of the oval contours of the face, tighten the tissues, and reduce the appearance of jowls and wrinkles. This effect can please patients for 7-10 years with accompanying cosmetic care for their skin condition.
Hardware techniques will also help prolong the effect after surgery - for example, Liftera ultrasonic lifting, which stimulates collagen production, increasing skin elasticity.
With competent and professional care for your beauty, the result of plastic surgery will delight you for a long time. Make an appointment
Operation
Typically, a lift is performed under general anesthesia. However, local lifting takes place under local anesthesia. The duration of the operation depends on the chosen technique, but does not exceed 4-5 hours.
| In our clinic it is possible to correct several aesthetic imperfections at once in one operation, reducing recovery time. Simultaneous operations are the simultaneous performance of several surgical interventions on different parts of the body, for example, breast augmentation in parallel with a facelift. During the consultation, the surgeon will determine which operations can be combined taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient. |

Possible complications
Modern technologies make it possible to carry out face lifting with minimal risk to health. But, nevertheless, complications are possible.
Hematoma is an accumulation of blood under the skin. This complication occurs almost exclusively in patients suffering from hypertension. Moreover, if the diagnosis is known, the treatment is correctly selected, the risk of hematoma is minimal. The problem arises when a patient undergoes a facelift who has not paid attention to periodic, perhaps rare, increases in blood pressure, and is not aware of his problem. To protect yourself from this complication, it is necessary to expand the scope of the preoperative examination.
Another complication of a facelift associated with poor preoperative preparation is necrosis (death) of the skin. This problem is the lot of smokers and patients with decompensated diabetes mellitus.
The most unpleasant complication, which, fortunately, is extremely rare, is damage to the branches of the facial nerve. Fortunately, in the vast majority of cases, facial nerve function recovers on its own within a few months.
If the operation is performed by an experienced surgeon, a full preoperative examination has been performed, and the patient fully complies with the doctor’s recommendations, then the likelihood of negative consequences will be minimal.
Recovery
After surgery, the patient spends several days in the hospital. The first dressing is done on days 3-5. To prevent infection, the doctor prescribes a course of antibiotics.
For 10 days after surgery, you should not use cosmetics or wash your hair. The swelling subsides after 2-3 weeks, by which time the patient will be able to return to his normal lifestyle, but full recovery will take at least 2 months. During this time, the patient is prohibited from visiting the pool, bathhouse, solarium, playing sports, dyeing hair, smoking and drinking alcohol.
To speed up recovery, doctors recommend physiotherapeutic procedures and massage, but not earlier than a month after surgery.
As with any surgical procedure, complications are possible after a facelift. You can minimize the likelihood of negative consequences by contacting an experienced plastic surgeon. Medical specialists will provide a full range of services related to the preparation, conduct of the operation and the recovery period.
A facelift allows you to look 5-10 years younger, remove folds and wrinkles on the forehead, bags and circles under the eyes, as well as correct other age-related imperfections common among men and women. The effect remains for many years.

Rehabilitation
From article to article I repeat: take the doctor’s instructions seriously, follow the instructions for the rehabilitation period. And now I will return to this again. Because even in minimally invasive procedures, incorrect behavior during the recovery period can nullify all the doctor’s efforts.
So, you need to remember:
- You will need to wear a pressure bandage for the first week after surgery.
- It is necessary to apply ice to swelling and bruising, if any.
- Do not drink alcohol, coffee, or smoke for two weeks after the procedure.
- Do not visit saunas, baths, solariums.
- Do not take blood thinning medications.
- Do not play sports, avoid physical activity.
These are general recommendations. The rest will be told to you during your consultation, based on the chosen method of facelift.
