Facelift surgery

Circular face lifting is one of the most popular plastic surgeries. It aims to correct age-related changes of the skin and deep facial structures successfully combatting wrinkles, soft tissue drooping and their flabbiness.

The procedure is performed in men and women after 40 years of age since less traumatic rejuvenation techniques are preferable for younger age. Manipulation description

Face lifting suggests the excision of the excess skin and subsequent lifting of soft tissues. The traditional lifting of the face oval only implies plastic surgery epidermis. The surgeon makes an excision in the region of the hair coating, lifts the skin, excises its excessive parts and models face contours. SMAS technique, in addition to epidermis lifting, smooths out the deep muscle layer. It is more long-lasting and invasive, but it helps achieve more noticeable rejuvenation.

The circular face lifting technique is determined by the doctor individually depending on the patient’s problem and expectations. The plastic surgery is often combined with other rejuvenation techniques — chin and neck liposuction, blepharoplasty, peeling, and beauty injections.
