The visible signs of ageing, such as facial lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, and hyperpigmentation can be reversed or improved with our Face Lift Surgery at Medisculpt. Our Face Lift surgery is a big but effective procedure in restoring facial volume and improving the natural oval of the face. There are minimal scars and it does require a period of recovery.
Face Lift surgery is performed to remove or reduce the skin that has lost its natural elasticity, usually, around the eyes, mouth and jaw line. It is an incredible procedure for smoothing the skin, reducing lines and wrinkles and rejuvenating a tired-looking appearance. There are various techniques of Face Lifting available, but in simple terms, the procedure involves lifting and tightening underlying muscles and tissues, removing excess skin, and repositioning facial structures for a more youthful and refreshed appearance. By targeting the lower face and even the jawline and neck, we can customise our techniques to suit your individual needs, restoring contour and smoothness, while preserving natural facial expressions.
Learn how Face Lift Surgery at Medisculpt can improve your confidence and help you achieve that ehanced face appearance and contours you have been dreaming about!
Face lift surgery can provide clients with improved facial contours by tightening loose skin and underlying tissues, resulting in a more youthful and defined appearance.
The procedure effectively diminishes the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, particularly around the cheeks, jawline, and neck, leading to smoother, rejuvenated skin.
Clients often experience a boost in self-confidence and self-esteem following successful face lift surgery, as they feel more satisfied with their refreshed and youthful appearance.
While individual results may vary, face lift surgery typically provides long-lasting outcomes, allowing clients to enjoy their rejuvenated appearance for many years to come.
The surgical technique, commonly referred to as rhytidectomy, aims to eliminate additional facial skin and tissue in the surrounding regions, promoting a smoother and better-defined facial appearance. With advancing age, skin elasticity diminishes, leading to the development of lines, wrinkles, and a fatigued visage, all of which can be effectively addressed through facelift procedures.
During our Face Lift procedures, you and your surgeon Helena will discuss the procedure, the journey process and all the details in between. For our Face Lift surgery, we use general anaesthesia. Overall, there will be no discomfort for you during the procedure, and it will reduce any riks of remembering any pain from the surgery.
