A personalized combination of techniques and procedures is the great secret to avoiding exaggerations and obtaining a global treatment
Summary
The facelift combines several procedures for global and natural rejuvenation, including brow lift, neck lift, fat grafting and blepharoplasty.
Much appreciated by plastic surgery enthusiasts, the face lift is seen by many as an almost miraculous procedure, capable of firming the entire skin of the face, from the forehead to the neck, solving problems such as sagging and wrinkles along the entire length of the face. the face. However, those who believe that a face lift consists of a single operation, always performed in the same way on any patient, are wrong.
“To obtain a global and natural rejuvenation of the face with a facelift, from the upper third to the neck, we generally combine different procedures, which are chosen based on the needs of each patient”, underlines the plastic surgeon Paolo Rubez, full member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP), the Brazilian Association of Plastic Surgery (BAPS), the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) and the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS).
For example, it is extremely common that, during surgery, an eyebrow lift is also performed to correct the aging of the upper third of the face.
“It is a technique indicated to correct eyebrow loss, a problem that occurs due to a weakening of the support in the forehead region which causes the eyebrows, especially the tail region, to descend to a lower position than normal , giving a sad and aged appearance,” says the doctor.
Performed through small incisions within the scalp, the procedure aims to reposition the muscles, ligaments and skin in the region to aid in traction and thus lift the eyebrows and reduce sagging in the upper third. “The result is very natural and the scars are small and barely noticeable.”
In most cases, the face lift is also combined with a neck lift through techniques such as the Deep Neck Lift, ideal for correcting a sagging neck and double chin. “This procedure is an excellent strategy to significantly improve facial contour, as it treats all layers of the neck, including muscles, deep fat, and submandibular glands that may have grown in size,” says Paolo Rubez, who explains the great advantage of the technique is that it guarantees more natural and long-lasting results.
Another option is to perform a fat graft in the cheekbone area during the procedure. “Performed with liposuctioned fat from the patient which, after being treated, is reinjected into the desired location, fat grafting is a great way to replace the facial volume lost with the aging process, which we cannot achieve with only facial lifting”, specifies Paolo, who explains that, as the years pass, the face loses fat, which plays a fundamental role in supporting the territory. “As a result of this fat loss, the skin becomes more saggy, the contours are lost and wrinkles and severe depressions appear. So, fat grafting helps reverse this situation,” he says.
Additionally, if you need to rejuvenate your eye area, you can perform blepharoplasty surgery during your facelift procedure, which aims to rejuvenate the region by removing excess skin and pockets of fat in the upper and lower eyelid areas. “In some patients we can also perform fat grafts to fill the tissues in the region, restoring volume and reducing depressions, which makes the result of the surgery more beautiful,” says the plastic surgeon.
And, in addition to being indicated for aesthetic purposes, blepharoplasty also has functional benefits, as excessive lowering of the eyelids can hinder vision in some people, which is why the operation is recommended in these cases. “And today the results are very natural, precisely because, instead of simply removing excess skin and fat in the region, we take a more conservative approach, repositioning these tissues.”
These combinations of procedures during surgery add to the evolutions that the facelift technique has undergone in recent years to provide extremely natural results, leaving aside that tense appearance characteristic of surgery from years ago.
“Before, face lifts were performed by simply pulling the skin. But today we use techniques such as the Deep Plane Face Lift, which is capable of also repositioning the muscles, with better and longer-lasting results”, underlines the doctor.
And, in many cases, multiple interventions are performed during the facelift surgery precisely to provide a global treatment of the entire face, thus providing a very effective, but still extremely natural, rejuvenation. “Therefore it is essential to undergo an evaluation with a plastic surgeon, who will be able to diagnose your needs and indicate the most appropriate approach for your case”, concludes Paolo Rubez.
