Facelift

• Natural and lasting rejuvenation Lifting: during a facelift, the muscles are re-tensioned and the skin is then re-draped as required, without excessive traction. This dual action produces a natural, long-lasting result.

Before the operation, a pre-operative consultation is compulsory to assess your expectations and analyse the anatomy of your face. A pre-operative check-up may be carried out.

A face lift is usually performed under general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic with sedation. The incisions are placed in strategic areas (hair, around the ear, etc.) so that they are concealed as much as possible. From the incisions, a detachment is made under the skin, the extent of which depends on the extent of the relaxation of the tissues.

The musculoaponeurotic plane is then re-tensioned in an extremely precise and measured manner to correct the deep sagging, while preserving the face's natural expression.

In the case of localised excess fat, liposuction can be carried out at the same time; conversely, in the case of loss of volume, lipofilling can be considered to harmonise the final result.

It's important to note that facelifts for men have a few specific characteristics: the skin is often thicker, the hairline may shift slightly following surgery, and thinner hair doesn't hide scars as easily.

Results are already visible after two weeks, but it's only after two to three months that you'll have a good idea of the final result.

In the long term, although the cervico-facial lift helps to combat the ravages of time, ageing continues to take its toll and the procedure may need to be repeated after around ten years. In order to extend this timeframe, a follow-up in aesthetic medicine is recommended.
