Lifting

Facial and Neck Lifting is a treatment aiming to reduce or even eliminate skin aging evidences.

In relation to the surgery itself, this starts with local anesthesia, and usually, implies an in-patient care of a day, for surveillance and the patient returns home on the following day.

Recovery may take 1 to 2 weeks depending from patient to patient, despite many patients concern, the scars become invisible because they will be at the top of the head, near the hair roots and beyond the ears.

Lifting without Surgery has very similar effects to facial and neck lifting, however, the procedure is totally different, this treatment does not imply any sort of skin cut or inpatient care.

This type of lifting does not replace the traditional surgical lifting. This can be performed after 35 years old and afterwards, when the patient has severe aging signs can do the traditional method.

In relation to this lifting, and comparing to the traditional lifting, one may conclude that the difference is the use of absorbable sutures: these are composed by polylactic acid and are absorbed within 1 to 2 years’ time. It grants a more efficient traction and fixation of the tissues.
