Facelift

No matter if it's frontal lifting, mesiofacial or cervical lifting,these procedures of rejuvenation remove wrinkles and crinkles generated by the falling of the soft cervical facial parts, without leaving any evident scars.

While people get older,the effects of exposing the body under the sun,of the everyday stress and other body functioning disorders leave painful makrs on their faces. Not only the skin is affected by the aging process, we can add the face and neck mucles, sometimes even the bones are affected by effeteness. A wise man knows that time is implacable, but there is no excuse for getting older in a harmonious and beautiful way. You must remember that extending the skin through lifting isn't a drastic process, it's under normal tension, compared to the one before the aging process.

What patients can benefit from facial lift?

People that ask the specialist for such an operation are generally active,they have numerous socio-professional obligations and generally want to have a nice image, no matter what age they have. Surgical lifting is indicated for persons over 40, being a procedure that gives time back with 5-10 years. For instance, facial lifting is addressed for persons between 40 and 60 years old, but it can be done for healthy persons that are over 80 too.
