FACE LIFT

It is well known that the desire of man to fight against the signs of aging is as old as mankind itself. Thanks to face lift techniques, the skin and the face becomes firm again and the wrinkles disappear.

The plastic surgeon’s goals are to give a result where nobody can tell the real age of the person, and most importantly, that no signs of external interference are visible.

FRONT LIFT

It is true that most people, especially women, have cultivated the habit to lift their brows when posing in front of a camera or when they are looking at themselves in the mirror or even when talking to someone. Unconsiously or not, it is a habit in order to reduce the wrinkles of their front , knowing deep inside that in this way they improve their image.

The front is the first part of the face where wrinkles appear even in young people making them look much older.

When the time comes to correct this part we are using the term “brow lift” however, the brow is only one connecting link that contributes to the aging look of a person. The skin that hangs over the lateral brow, the distance between the brow and the lashes, the movement of the muscles which creates wrinkles and folds as well as the distance between the lashes and the root of the hair are all important factors in the front lift correction.

Therefore, the plastic surgeon’s goal with a brow lift is to stretch the skin in the area around the eyes, between the eyes as well as the whole front, by eliminating all the wrinkles, no matter how deep they are.

FACE LIFT IN MEN

It is beyond doubt that men too, desire to maintain their youthful appearance, but they seem to be a bit skeptical about whether they will have a feminine look after a face lift.

This feminine look is created by lifting the skin too much, in the areas around the eyes, above the eyes and in the front. That’s why in these areas the face lift in men is done in a more moderate way. We must also highlight that even incisions are done differently in men.

NECK

The neck is probably the most common place where aging signs first appear in both sexes. As years go by, the skin has the tendancy to loosen up while the muscles become atrophic. Consequently, the skin cannot remain firm and starts “hanging”.

For better results, it is preferred that the correction of the neck is done in combination with the face lift.

SURGICAL PEEL

Skin aging is caused by both extrinsic and intrinsic factors. The endogenous factors are the genetic sequence, time, skin laxity, as well as the fine wrinkles underneath the skin. So, these factors combined with sun exposure, influence to a certain degree, the beginning of skin aging. Nevertheless, the race, the nationality, the skin complexion, the colour of the hair and the eyes as well as freckles are also responsible. Other external factors are our clothing, the country we live in, our way of life and finally our profession. In this case where the stage of photoaging is primary, the surgical peel is ideal. It is used to take off the harsh surface of the face by eliminating the wrinkles in the upper lip area, and to treat scars from acne.
