With the advent of the long-awaited and long-awaited panacea for old age, that is, plastic surgery, it has become much easier to do this, especially since it has only been improving over the years.
With the invention of a variety of techniques, the correction of external data is not uncommon. Modern surgeons are real jewelers, because they have to work with gentle human skin tenderly and painstakingly.
They are real sculptors who create incredible beauty every day. Nowadays, face-lift surgery is in great demand.
Plastic surgery, which eliminates noticeable signs of aging, is called a face lift. The main signs of aging are sagging skin, wrinkles, fat deposits under the skin and folds.
Surgery to lift the face is to remove excess skin fragments and, in some cases, part of the muscle tissue. After removal of unwanted tissue, the remaining skin is stretched, some areas are smoothed.
Among the advantages of a face lift, surgically, you can highlight the fact that the face returns to its original appearance, while maintaining the natural contours. Having decided to facelift you can look younger by a dozen years.
Surgeons determine signs of aging such as sagging, loss of elasticity, wrinkles, skin pigmentation disorders, loss of volume. Tightening is an excellent way to return the face of a young look.

A facelift can be upper, middle and lower.
- The upper covers the area of the forehead, affecting the hairline and eyebrows.
- The average is held in the cheeks and mouth.
- The lower is held in the area of the lower jaw, chin and neck.
The depth of the affected tissue is subcutaneous lifting and SMAS . Subcutaneous lifting affects the adipose tissue and facial muscles, with which you can restore youth to the face. And SMAS works with skin and muscles, thanks to which it is possible to get great results that will surpass the work of subcutaneous lifting.
Endoscopic face lift: rejuvenation technique
Endoscopic face lift - surgery, which is performed to rejuvenate the skin of the face using endoscopic techniques.
Among the advantages of this unique type of braces, you can highlight the small size of the incisions made, a small trauma, a short recovery period after surgery, the almost complete absence of minor complications.
Despite the large number of advantages of endoscopic facelift, there are certain criteria for the selection of potential patients, including those who have tissue prolapse and have skin that has not yet lost its natural tone.
People with significant areas of excess skin do not fit into this category and are forced to use the services of plastic surgeons who conduct traditional facelifts .
With the help of endoscopic braces, interventions can be carried out both over the entire face area and in separate zones. Indications for the use of endoscopic facial rejuvenation include:
- omission of the forehead area;
- vertical and horizontal deep wrinkles;
- the area between the eyebrows;
- overhanging of the skin in the upper eyelid area;
- tired expression created by significant eyelid prolapse and pronounced folds in the lips;
- eyebrow dropping;
- “Crow's feet”;
- fuzzy facial contour in the lower jaw area;
- lowered corners of the eyes;
- omission of the cheeks and neck;
- expressive nasolabial folds.
Features endoscopic mid-facelift
Endoscopic mid-facelift is one of the modern operations, which has tremendous efficiency and is used for rejuvenation. With this type of surgery, the best results are achieved at the first signs of aging, while the presence of any intervention remains practically imperceptible to prying eyes. The intervention is carried out through the hairline. The endoscope, which is used during manipulations, has a camera that shows all the actions of the surgeon.
The big plus in carrying out this brace is that the surgeon does not perform large incisions on the face, so that the ordinary person will not see the presence of the intervention. Instead of incisions, the sculptor surgeon manages to puncture the temples or in the mouth in the place where the fold of the upper lip is located. After a while these small punctures tighten and do not leave even the slightest trace.
Due to the presence of a special camera on the endoscope, the surgeon sees an enlarged picture of small vessels and nerve endings, which helps to avoid even the smallest unwanted damage during the operation. The violation of skin sensitivity is also minimized and the correct blood flow is maintained. Preservation of a natural blood-groove excludes emergence of baldness in the field of hems.
The main indications for the use of endoscopic mid-facelift are deep and expressive nasolabial folds, lowered corners of the mouth, sagging of the cheek area, deficiency of tissue volume.
How is the plastic of the lower face
Plastic lower part of the face involves the areas of the lips, chin and neck. The indications for using the lower face lift are often the destruction of the presence of age-related changes that affect the lips, cheeks, lower jaw and neck. These visible changes include:
- sagging lower part of the cheeks;
- deep wrinkles;
- ptosis;
- loose skin in the neck and cheeks area;
- the presence of a double chin.
Today, all types of facelifts have improved significantly, so you can avoid serious cuts, which, after healing, are striking.
Recently, the most effective techniques are used, which restore the old facial contours to the maximum and improve the overall appearance of the skin. Before you opt for any of the existing methods, the surgeon carefully considers the future strategy to eliminate age defects. It necessarily takes into account the preferences of the patient, the structure of the face and the general condition of the skin and tissues.
There is SMAS - a lift of the lower part of the face and neck , which consists in the presence of fibrous-muscular structures that divide the subcutaneous fatty tissue into two layers. The fibers bind the skin and facial muscles, they are also located in the cheeks and around the ears and are extremely connected with the superficial fascia of the neck and platysma.
SMAS fixes and tightens the skin without the formation of painful hematomas, which is a significant advantage. The skin surface is perfectly smooth, which is also very important.
Endoscopic face lifting: methods of conducting
The most popular type of plastic surgery is endoscopic face lifting. In terms of efficiency, this type of braces is not worse than the classic one, but also much better due to the low degree of trauma. The recovery period after surgery does not take much time. Endoscopic face lifting has practically no contraindications.
It is recommended to perform this operation at the age from 30 to 50 years. Endolifting is carried out through a single incision in the head covered with hair. Next, the layers move the tissues and further fixation with the help of biomatrix (allows gluing the vessels together). With the help of this amazing technique, it is really possible to restore the beautiful shape of the face and restore the skin's elasticity, freshness and tone.
Endoscopic lifting of the upper face allows you to remove ugly sagging upper eyelids, the deepest folds in the lips, tighten the skin in the neck.
Endolifting is used not only to eliminate the age differences on the face, but also to improve the natural data (improving the shape of the eyes, eliminating the frown of the eye and the asymmetry of the eyebrows). An addition to endolifting is the removal of subcutaneous fat in the cheek and chin area.
There are several types of braces that allow you to significantly rejuvenate your face. The first type implies a circular tightening, the second is made by introducing golden threads under the skin, the third - endoscopic lifting.
The circular tightening corrects the neck area, sagging cheeks, the area around the mouth, the fronto-temporal lobe and the middle part of the face.
Endoscopic face lifting with the help of gold threads allows you to avoid incisions in the skin, instead of doing the so-called reinforcement, which is injected into the subcutaneous fat. Thanks to the created frame, the skin will stay in its place and there will be no sagging effect.
