Facelift, more commonly known as facelift surgery, is a highly sought-after intervention in cosmetic surgery.
Facelift surgery aims to improve the aesthetics of the entire face without altering its physiognomy, providing a younger appearance.
The mid-face lift or mid-face-lift, also known as the upper third of the face lift, is a surgical intervention aimed at lifting against the loss of fullness and cheek projection, remodeling the soft tissues of the cheek area, and achieving a youthful and healthy appearance.
Brow lift surgery, also known as forehead lift surgery, improves the appearance of the upper part of the face and the forehead by lifting sagging eyebrows and eliminating wrinkles in the forehead region. This surgical technique also allows for the improvement of wrinkles around the periocular area, commonly referred to as “crow’s feet.” The procedure involves reshaping and repositioning the muscles in the upper part of the face, resulting in the elevation and tightening of the forehead skin.
These surgeries can be performed individually or combined with each other in a standard procedure.
Modification of this anatomical region is a highly delicate operation, and the expression of the area around the eyebrows is crucial in determining whether a person appears tired, angry, depressed, happy, or youthful, requiring special attention from the surgeon.
Is There an Age Limit for Facelift Surgery?
There is no age limit for such a surgery. While most patients undergoing this surgical procedure are between the ages of 40 and 60, facelifts are also successfully performed on individuals aged 70 to 80.
Who is Suitable for Surgical Facelift Surgery?
The best candidates for facelift surgery are men and women who are experiencing sagging of the face and neck but still have good skin elasticity.
Midface lift is particularly indicated for those with good skin elasticity in the face but experiencing sagging of the cheeks and midface due to aging.
The best candidates for brow lift surgery are individuals with heavy or drooping eyelids due to sagging or drooping of the skin in the upper face, yet they still maintain good skin elasticity.
While a high or receding hairline may sometimes limit the application of such intervention, it doesn’t necessarily preclude the indication for such a procedure.
What are the non-surgical facelift options?
There are many possible treatments for facial rejuvenation and skincare, ranging from botulinum toxin injections to non-surgical lifting with hyaluronic acid or more invasive solutions. Whatever solution you decide to implement, prioritizing trust in your specialist should be your primary concern.
Non-surgical facelift is a minimally invasive and short-term procedure that allows you to lift and tighten facial and neck tissues to achieve a more youthful appearance. It involves a treatment with endodermal radiofrequency, which affects the tissues underneath and tightens them again.
