Classical lift of the lower-middle part of the face

With ageing the skin looses elasticity resulting in face feature changes: wrinkle development, sagging of cheeks; this leads to changes of face contour. Lifting of the middle face part can adjust the sagging  facial skin, removal of excessive skin can help to flatten folds and wrinkles and to create a youthful look. The surgery is often combined with transplantation of adipose tissue.

How the surgery is performed?

Few small incisions are made during the surgery. The incision are made in less visible areas, such as i the hairy area or at the ear, in the areas of natural facial curves. The excessive skin is removed during facial lift and the incisions are sutured. The surgery is done under the general anaesthesia and lasts up to 3-5 hours.

Postoperative period

• The swelling and bruising can last for up to 4 weeks after the surgery;
• Physical load should be avoided for at lest 4-6 weeks after the surgery;
• To ensure smooth healing and to avoid scar discolouration it is recommended to avoid the direct sun light for at least 6 months;
• The final result will be visible after 6-12 weeks, when swelling resolves and the tissues heal completely.
