How old does facial lifting rejuvenate?
It is expected that facial surgery will cause the patient to rejuvenate. But talking about the amount of years is very relative. We prefer to say that with surgery, the patient will have a smoother, more harmonious and rested aspect of the face giving the impression that he is younger.
How long do the effects of surgery last?
Unfortunately, surgery cannot stop the time clock. Despite surgery, the gravity and physiological aging of the body will continue. The patient continues to age naturally, but will always be much better than if he had not had surgery because the tissue will have been repositioned and the excess skin removed.
What type of anesthesia for facial lifting?
In most cases, we opted for local anesthesia and sedation. A medication is given so that the patient can sleep calmly. Subsequently, we performed local anesthesia so that there is no pain. In some cases, general anesthesia may be required.
What are the scars?
They depend on the treatment each patient needs. Rhytidoplasty surgery options are traditional facelift, limited incision facelift, or neck lifting. A traditional facelift incision often begins in the anterior part of the ears extending behind them and ending in the scalp. Because it is the region of the face, scars tend to be imperceptible soon after the first months.
When will the points be removed?
For this type of surgery we use absorbable threads, that is, threads that are degraded by the body itself. So the stitches do not need to be removed, they will disappear on their own.
Is the surgery very painful?
There is usually no pain. When the patient wakes up from sedation, anesthesia will still be in place. We prescribe simple painkillers that the patient can take at home prophylactically, that is, before she can feel pain.
Is the site very swollen and purple?
In the first 2 to 5 days edema swelling and bruising (purples) may be present. But that will depend on how each patient responds to the surgery.
Postoperative Restrictions:
- Do not use makeup or sunscreens in the scar region for 1 week;
- Avoid intense physical activity for 3 weeks;
- Avoid sun exposure while you have purple spots (the sun may “tattoo” those spots on the skin)
With facial lifting will wrinkles disappear?
Rhytidoplasty aims to reposition the tissues and remove excess tissue. Wrinkles that are caused by mimicry and facial expression may require complementary treatments such as botulinum toxin, fillers and / or facial peels in order to improve the quality of skin that has been repositioned.
Can I have eye surgery right now?
Yes, blepharoplasty, eye rejuvenation surgery is the surgery most commonly associated with facial lifting.
Are lymphatic drainages necessary?
The drains are very important. The first drainage is performed about 4 days after surgery. We advise 10 drainage sessions, which should be performed every 2 or 3 days. In addition to reducing facial swelling, drainage also helps remodeling scars.
