Methods of plastic facial surgery

There are various methods of facial plastic surgery. Some of them require serious surgical intervention under general anesthesia. More modern methods allow resorting to local anesthesia, and rehabilitation is much faster.

Circular and endoscopic face lift

The method has a wide range of applications. With her help straighten the wrinkles of the forehead, eliminate the lowering of the eyebrows, eliminate the "crow's feet" around the eyes, straighten the nasolabial folds, raise cheekbones and cheeks, straighten the wrinkles of the neck and remove the "extra" chins.

The circular brace refers to an open operating method. The operation lasts 3-4 hours under general anesthesia. I'll have to spend two more days in the clinic. Relative recovery takes 3-4 months.

Endoscopic method is more sparing. The operation is carried out through small punctures with the help of video surveillance. There are no scars as such. The intervention is 1.5-3 hours under general anesthesia. In a day you can go home. You can go to work in 2-3 weeks.

Contraindications for facelift: any physical illness in severe form, blood clotting disorder, diabetes mellitus.

Surgical lip plastic

With age, the amount of collagen fibers decreases and the upper lip is lengthened. Its edge is lowered, the red border of the lips narrows, turning inwards. The corners of the mouth and lower lip gradually drop. In a number of cases, these defects can only be corrected by surgical lifting. After surgery, a small surgical suture in the furrow under the nose remains the traditional method. But a number of clinics practice surgical correction from the side of the mucous layer. Surgeons make incisions from the inside and traces of the operation are not visible.

Silhouete Lift Technique

Silhouette Lift( Silhouette Lift) is a new technology for the correction of soft facial tissues using a system of special filaments from a resorbable material with fixing elements - microcones. Microcones fix the threads under the skin, and the elasticity of the filaments returns the soft tissues to the correct position. Cones gradually dissolve and acquire a connective tissue, which additionally fixes the tissues of the face. Produce of polypropylene. This material is biologically compatible with the human body.

This method was developed in return for badly proven old methods: endoscopic facial surgery and circular suspenders. These operations are performed under general anesthesia, after them months of rehabilitation are required, and complications can spoil the life of an unsuccessful patient. Silhouette of the elevator does not leave edema, scars, passes almost without complications. The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia and takes only 45 minutes. The recovery period is 2-3 days. And it's much cheaper.

The results of the braces are preserved for 2-4 years. But the technology allows you to re-tighten the facial tissues in 15 minutes, using previously implanted yarn. Silhouette Lift is used not only for braces, but also to correct the asymmetry of the face. This method is certified in the European Union, in Russia, in the USA.

Plastic facial surgery with endotins

Endotines are special mini-plates that are used to tighten the tissues of the forehead and eyebrows, the lower part and middle third of the face, neck and cheeks. Operations with the use of endotins are less traumatic. They are carried out as an open method, and using endoscopic techniques. In this case, endotins can be used together with the removal of skin excess.

The main advantage of the method is that the load is concentrated on a strong endotene. And the seams themselves heal easier and faster, look aesthetically. Multiple attachment technique prevents local overload of fabric when stitching seams under tension. The endotins after the operation in the facial tissues are dissolved in 6-12 months. It usually takes 1-1.5 weeks for the patient to return to work. Edema and bruises often appear right after the endotin is placed, but within a week they fall off. This technology was developed in 2004.Half a million operations proved its effectiveness.
