Purpose of the Procedure
Facelift is an aesthetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the face and neck by correcting visible signs of aging.
As the skin loses its elasticity, fine lines, wrinkles, and a tired appearance may develop. The facelift aims to restore a fresher and firmer look while preserving the natural facial features.
The main objectives of a facelift are:
- Improving skin tone and facial contour;
- Correcting visible signs of aging;
- Restoring a natural and youthful appearance;
- Enhancing self-confidence.
A facelift does not change a person’s natural features and cannot stop the natural aging process. Complementary procedures may include blepharoplasty or brow lift.
Preoperative Consultation
The best candidates are women and men who wish to achieve a younger and brighter facial appearance. It is important for patients to have realistic expectations and good overall health.
Interested individuals should know that:
- A facelift restores a youthful appearance without changing natural facial features;
- The natural aging process continues, although more gradually;
- Results can be maintained through a healthy lifestyle and proper skin care.
Recovery
After the procedure, mild swelling or bruising may occur but gradually fades. Normal activities can be resumed shortly after, and the results become more visible as healing progresses.
In the following weeks, the skin regains its elasticity, and the face takes on a more relaxed and natural appearance. Direct sun exposure should be limited until full recovery.
Results
The final outcome is a younger, fresher, and more relaxed look that lasts for a long period. To maintain the effects, constant skin care and a balanced lifestyle are recommended.
