What is a facelift?

A facelift is a surgical procedure that tightens the skin and muscles of the face to correct the visible signs of aging. The main objective is to restore firmness to the skin and deep tissues, while maintaining a natural appearance. This technique is adapted according to the areas of the face to be treated, from the forehead to the neck. Facelifts can also be used for sad mouths and extremely pronounced nasolabial folds; the famous furrows that are on either side of the mouth and that form the junction with the cheeks. Indeed, when the indication is well established, it is an extremely rewarding facelift. However, edema and a little more swelling will be present for several weeks, 10 to 15 days of rest should be planned.

The main areas of the face treated by a facelift

Each part of the face can benefit from a specific facelift technique. Here are the main areas that can be treated.

Forehead and eyebrow lift

With age, horizontal wrinkles on the forehead become more pronounced, and the eyebrows can sag, giving a tired look. Forehead lift, also called frontal lift, corrects these signs of aging by tightening the skin and repositioning the eyebrows. This allows for a more open and rejuvenated look.

Eyelid lift (blepharoplasty)

Blepharoplasty is the ideal solution for drooping eyelids or bags under the eyes, which give a tired appearance. It involves removing excess skin and fat to rejuvenate the look.

Midface lift

The midface lift mainly treats sagging cheekbones and nasolabial folds (wrinkles between the nose and mouth). It repositions the volumes of this area, often affected by gravity with age, and restores a more youthful and harmonious face.

Cervico-facial lift

The cervico-facial lift is one of the most comprehensive techniques. It treats the sagging of the oval of the face, jowls and neck, to redefine the contours of the face and reduce pronounced folds. This type of lift is often requested by older patients wishing for overall rejuvenation.
