Antonio Pitanguy, plastic surgeon and grandson of the famous Ivo Pitanguy, explains the popular procedure for rejuvenation
Celebrities may have almost flawless faces, but there’s no doubt that most of them undergo surgery and cosmetic procedures. With the aim of changing “imperfections” or even looking younger, there are various interventions carried out by celebrities. The face lift, for example, is one of them and some artists have already opted for it to maintain a youthful appearance.
“The face lift is a safe and long-lasting surgical procedure that aims to rejuvenate the face and neck region, restoring its natural characteristics, replacing tissue and volume lost over time,” explains plastic surgeon Antonio Pitanguy.
According to him, performing the procedure involves repositioning internal tissues and removing excess skin.
“The results are visible from the first day, especially in the neck region and in the lower third of the face. The edema (swelling) is temporary and begins to decrease starting from the second week. After a month the patient already has good awareness of the results”, underlines the professional.
However, it is important to note that this surgery is not suitable for everyone. The recommendation arises from a consultation with a trusted professional in the market, where the objective – and subjective – aspects will be evaluated to determine whether or not the person can perform the procedure.
Antonio Pitanguy underlines that it is always necessary to talk and understand the reasons that push the patient to undergo a certain operation: “As my grandfather Ivo Pitanguy said, the surgeon must be a psychologist with a scalpel in his hand”, he adds.
