Facelift

The facelift puts an end to excess skin on the face and sagging cheeks. Our face reveals almost everything about us. It tells our counterpart whether we are happy or not. It tells us whether we are genuinely happy or genuinely angry. And with just a little emotion it can put everything into perspective that we were just adamantly asserting. With 52 facial muscles, that's actually no wonder.

Facelift

The facelift puts an end to wrinkles on the face

The main premise of Moser Milani's facelift: facial expressions must be preserved! With the classic lifting, the forehead area as well as the facial and neck features are tightened and thus significantly rejuvenated. In addition to the resulting smoothing of wrinkles, the cheeks can be modeled according to aesthetic ideas.

Vor der Op

  • For a period of approximately 14 days before the facelift, you should stop taking medications containing acetylsalicylic acid (e.g. aspirin , ASA, etc.) as they impair blood clotting.
  • You should also avoid alcohol, cigarettes and Avoid sleeping pills as much as possible. Nicotine can also reduce blood flow to organs and delay wound healing. Therefore, avoid nicotine two weeks before the operation and also during the wound healing phase.

DAS WIRD PASSIEREN
As part of the upper facelift, the upper forehead is gathered while the eyebrows are raised. The incision is made in front of the ear a little further into the hairy scalp region or into the area of the forehead-hair border. In principle, the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) must be included in the facelift, as solely tightening the skin is not enough. The SMAS is the superficial muscle and connective tissue system that is prepared, tightened and fixed as part of the classic facelift. The skin is then delicately placed over it, secured with sutures and the excess skin is removed. Depending on the findings, the facelift can also be performed without preparation of the SMAS. Here, the SMAS is simply tightened using threads.
 
With the help of the short scar facelift, the lower part of the face and the neck can be tightened even more gently. Following a much shorter incision, the Superficial Muscular Aponeurosis System (SMAS) located under the skin is tightened and lifted exclusively in front of the ear using several slowly dissolving thread loops.
DAS KANN PASSIEREN
Any swelling and discoloration caused by bruising usually subside after two to three weeks. Also possible sensory disorders and a feeling of tension in the skin. In rare cases, circulatory problems and wound infections can occur, especially in heavy smokers. Weaknesses of the facial nerve are very rare and disappear after just a few weeks.
