What is a cervicofacial lift?
THE cervicofacial lifting (commonly called facelift) is a surgical procedure, often performed in conjunction with other rejuvenation techniques, which focuses on the various components of facial aging, in order to minimize them and achieve a lighter, younger face.
One of the most common concerns among patients seeking a facelift is the artificial appearance of the face. There are currently several different surgical techniques available, so a personalized treatment plan is designed during the consultation to ensure a natural-looking result.
The ideal candidate for facelift surgery will be the one that already presents a drooping (ptosis) of the tissues of the face and/or neck, loss of definition of the jaw contour as well as nasolabial folds and marked marionette lines, maintaining a good bone structure and skin elasticity.
What does the evaluation consultation for a Cervicofacial Lifting consist of?
In the Plastic Surgery evaluation consultation information about the type, profile, shape and volume is discussed.
In fact, the selection of the surgical technique must always be adapted to each patient and personalized, so that the result is optimized and as close as possible to expectations.
