Aesthetic medicine is perfect to fight against certain signs of aging such as wrinkles, spots, volume loss, sagging, etc.. However, there are times when it is necessary to resort to cosmetic surgery to achieve rejuvenate the appearance. Thus, the facelift has become in recent years one of the aesthetic treatments with more demand.
What is a face lift
The lifting is a surgery to restore volume and deep tissues on which the skin adapts, but not surgery to make wrinkles disappear. This technique leaves a minimal scar placed on the hair root and the inner edge of the ear, which makes it go unnoticed.
The surgery to perform a face lift is performed under general anesthesia and lasts approximately three to four hours, requiring at least one or two days of hospital admission.
Postoperative of a face lift
Depending on the degree of the intervention, the postoperative period will be more or less complex. In general, the following steps are carried out:
• Elastic bandage on the face
• If you have acted on the neck, drains are added
• After some time in resuscitation, the patient is transferred to his room and the following day he is discharged after the withdrawal of the drainages
• Before leaving the clinic, the bandage will be replaced with a new one that the patient must wear for one day.
• Before the surgery, the patient is given a prescription with the medication that he / she must take to control the possible discomfort that may occur and that usually disappears in 4-5 days.
• Inflammation and possible bruises will subside during the following 15 days
Results of a face lift
Facelift interventions not only achieve a considerable rejuvenation, but when they are well performed they achieve a lasting result. However, if new signs of aging appear over the years, a re-intervention can be performed, which often consists of a simple retensioning through the previous incisions.
Nowadays, preference is given to carrying out these interventions once they are over 40 years old or even before in some circumstances. Before this age other minimally invasive procedures can maintain a youthful appearance for a while.
