FACE AND NECK LIFTING ON THE COTE D’AZURE: EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEDURE OF INTERVENTION, COST, PHOTOS

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW…

What kind of patients may require this type of intervention?

This intervention is intended for patients wishing to eliminate the clearly expressed signs of aging of the face and neck. In contrast to the soft-procedures of aesthetic medicine, allowing to achieve an expression of openness of sight, cervico- facial lifting allows you to achieve the same beautiful image of a person that was 15 years earlier.

What is the purpose of this intervention?

This intervention is to eliminate sagging and restore the loss of skin tone and facial muscles (temples, eyebrow, cheeks, cheek sagging, face and neck oval), as we as insufficient or vice versa, an excessive amount of adipose tissue. At the same time it should be taken into account that, in carrying out this intervention, the fundamental goal is to achieve a change in neither the form nor the general appearance of the person. It should be taken into account that simple restoration of various anatomical structures of the face or neck (skin, muscles, fat) allows the patient to regain the appearance that was laid in the foundation some time ago.

What procedures of an aesthetic nature can be performed in conjunction with this intervention?

This intervention can mainly be carried out simultaneously with four additional procedures

- Volumetry of the face with the help of hyaluronic acid, which allows to restore the “fullness” of the face who has faded and with signs of expression of fatigue, by making the volume of the face that was lost.

- The injections of botulinum toxin (Botox) into the forehead allow a significant and even complete reduction of wrinkles that are at rest and without affecting the mobility of the forehead with different facial expressions( avoiding the expression of the formation of a “frozen” look).

- Performed lipoaspiration of the fat of the lower part of the face, which allows to eliminate the manifestation of the double chin

- Blefaroplasty of the upper and/or lower eyelids, allowing to eliminate the tired look(heavy or sagging eyelids), giving it a more open expression and freshness

Where will the scars be located?

Scars will be completely hidden: on the contour of the ear and in the area of the hairline

What are the basic stages of cervical facial lifting?

The performed incision will be hidden in the region of the temporal area of the hair.

A new formation of the overall structure of the tissue is provided by the implementation of a double brace: in a deep and superficial manner.

The implementation of a tightening in a deep way is carried out by an exceptionally subtle intervention, requiring a clear and targeted effect in the muscular aponeurotic plan, to eliminate the appearance of strong signs of sagging, while completely preserving the person’s natural expression.

The implementation of braces by the surface method is carried out by the new formation of a general structure of the skin which will become fully compatible with the form, the required muscular mobilization.

The applied seams are made with the use of absorbable filaments of small size.

A bandage around the head should have a place within 24 hours.

Duration of intervention: 2 hours on average.

What kind of anesthesia is required for cervical facial lifting?

Usually this type of intervention is performed under general anesthesia. Together with this in some cases, local anesthesia deepened by intravenous tranquilizers (so-called “anesthesia in the walking state”) may be sufficient.

What duration of hospitalization is required after cervical facial lifting?

The intervention can be performed “out-patiently” with the possibility of leaving the clinic on the same day after several hours of follow-up. In any case one should start from the cases when a short hospitalization may seem the best solution. In this case the patient’s reception is carried out in the morning and he can, with all formalities, leave it the next day.

How usually is the recovery period after the intervention?

The pain is usually seen in rare cases. Edema and ecchymosis, their degree of severity and duration depend very much, in terms of manifestation, on each individual case of a patient. Return to normal socio-professional life is made possible 10-15 days after the intervention.

What is the cost of lifting the face and neck?

The price varies between 6800 and 8000 euros.
