The progressive loss of skin cell function characterizes the biological aging process. This process
leaves visible signs on each of us. The first visible signs of aging appear exactly on the face. The
first wrinkles are periorbital, around the eyes, followed by the abrasion of the jawline due to the
release of soft tissues at the corners of the jaw. As the cheeks tend to flatten, the grooves on the
sides of the nose deepen. Wrinkles around the lips, wrinkles between the eyebrows, or lateral forehead
wrinkles become visible. The release of the platysma muscle causes sagging at the neck level, and all
these changes make many men and women dissatisfied with their appearance. They see that their inner
energy and potential do not match their outward appearance. Facelift is a high-level plastic surgery
intervention, where the good news is to significantly improve skin appearance, restore harmony,
toning, and firmness. The surgical technique has been perfected over the years and is now able to
rejuvenate the face without altering your natural physiognomy and mimicry as it has happened in the
past. Thanks to this plastic surgery method, your face does not appear artificial or regenerated but
naturally relaxed and lasting over time. It is important to clarify that deep wrinkles are not
eliminated but reduced. Facelift is a plastic surgery intervention that in most cases starts from the
age of 40 and in these age groups can also be associated with blepharoplasty due to drooping eyelids.
DERMOLIFE® aesthetic surgeons always ensure that each intervention is performed in accordance with
your individuality. Celebrities who have achieved fantastic results after a facelift are many women
and men like Demi Moore, Al Pacino, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and others. Mini
facelift is generally used at a young age, which is a technique to pull the skin of the cheeks behind
the ears. For a longer-lasting result, it is advisable to perform a total facelift. The so-called Mini
facelift offers the opportunity to regenerate a specific area of the face: the area of the cheeks and
eyebrows can be reshaped with temporal lifting. Site area with mid-face lift. Neck and chin area with
Neck Lift (neck lift). Forehead area with frontal lift.

PROCEDURE
1. CONSULTATION
Facelift is a highly personalized intervention and as such requires a very detailed specialist consultation. During the initial consultation, the DERMOLIFE® surgeon will develop with you all the goals and aesthetic results that can be achieved with expectations of a very detailed open conversation and will program and illustrate the real thing. He studies the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, and bone structure. The DERMOLIFE® surgeon also assesses your health to exclude various diseases, blood clotting problems, or skin rashes that may affect the final outcome of the intervention. Before the intervention, our surgeon will provide you with precise instructions on nutrition before and after surgery, medication administration, and alcohol and tobacco consumption. You should also perform some tests in advance, such as a cardiological visit, a lung X-ray, and some standard blood and urine tests. After summarizing all the answers to these tests, it is time for a consultation with our anesthesiologist to decide on general health status and the opportunity to perform the aesthetic intervention in question. Facelift is an artistic expression of the plastic surgeon. In any case, our surgical staff guarantees amazing results and you will feel more beautiful than ever because DERMOLIFE® GUARANTEES HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
2. ANESTHESIA
Facelift can be performed with local anesthesia and sedation or with general anesthesia. In this case, the DERMOLIFE® staff prefers to opt for local sedation anesthesia and avoids general anesthesia, ensuring immediate recovery of the person after the intervention compared to general anesthesia. It also allows the use of very small amounts of drugs during surgery. Local anesthesia is performed with some minor injections in the area of the surgical intervention to relieve pain. While sedation consists of the intravenous injection of drugs that reduce anxiety and induce a state of light sleep or a little deeper. The person is relaxed. It is worth noting that in local anesthesia intubation is not used by holding the person breathing spontaneously, avoiding the use of devices that guarantee breathing during anesthesia.
3. INTERVENTION
In any case, the DERMOLIFE® staff aims to provide the person with a smooth and painless surgical experience. The operation is performed following a precise protocol that guarantees maximum quality and safety. Facelift surgery requires 1-3.5 hours depending on the surgical technique to be applied to the case. Depending on the technique, hospitalization in the clinic can be outpatient or overnight. The incisions of this intervention remain invisible as they are covered by layers of hair and skin before and after the ear. If the interference extends to the neck level, it will be necessary to place a drain. DERMOLIFE® surgeons who trust their international experience and are constantly in touch with the latest plastic surgery techniques are always at your disposal and ready to consult and clarify all facelift techniques.
4. POST INTERVENTION
