Facelift

The biological process of aging usually begins in the second half of life, although the first age-related changes in the face can be observed from the age of 28-30. Changes in the amount of elastin and collagens and their percentage sooner or later lead to the formation of wrinkles and folds of the skin, which determine mainly the external signs of human aging. The aging process affects not only the skin, but also the underlying tissues: fatty, fascial, muscular, aponeurotic, bone. In connection with this, a significant number of methods for rejuvenating the face and neck have now been developed and are being applied, allowing them to affect not only the skin, but also the deeper structures, to receive a more pronounced and long-lasting cosmetic effect. Facelift today is a very frequent operation.

Upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty): postoperative care

Patients are instructed to rest for the rest of the day, preferably lying on their backs with two pillows. Ice packs are used continuously during the day; eye ointment is applied to the incisions several times a day.

Upper eyelid surgery in men

In men, the surgeon must be extremely conservative. Usually, the lateral edge of the incision should not extend beyond the attachment of the lateral canthus.

Upper eyelid plasty surgery (blepharoplasty)

Most often, upper eyelid plastic surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis, under local anesthesia with minimal preoperative and intraoperative drug support.

Evaluation of the brow-vein complex

The assessment begins with simple observation during conversation with the patient. The position of the eyebrows on the moving face and at rest is noted.

Basics of upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)

Successful upper eyelid surgery begins with the surgeon's artistic understanding of the relationships between the upper eyelids, eyebrows, forehead, bony boundaries of the orbit, as well as a general idea of the concept of a beautiful face.

Surgical technique of endoscopic midface lift

Most patients undergoing an endoscopic forehead and midface lift will also need to have their lower eyelids addressed, either through skin excision or laser resurfacing.

Endoscopic brow lift and midface lift

When examining a patient for age-related changes in the upper third of the face, he or she should stand in front of a mirror. The forehead and eyes are assessed with the patient's head aligned with the Frankfurt horizontal plane.

Aesthetics (lift) of the ocular complex

The "classic" eyebrow medially originates from a vertical line drawn through the transition of the ala of the nose into the facial tissue.

Complications of rhytidectomy (facelift surgery)

The most common complication of rhytidectomy is hematoma formation, which occurs in 2-15% of patients.

Folds and secondary rhytidectomy

As observations of patients over a period of 6 months to 1 year after surgery have shown, they will inevitably experience some relaxation of the superficial tissues of the face and neck.
