A face lift (technically known as Ritidectomy) cannot avoid this process; however it can “stop the clock” improving the most visible signs of aging, stretching the facial muscles, eliminating the excess of fat and making a redistribution of the skin of the face and the neck.

A face lift usually takes from 3 to 4 hours at the OR. The surgeon puts back in their original place the facial structures (skin, fat, muscles) which have lost their vitality because of the years and other factors, making incisions in front of and at the back of the ears and sometimes behind the hair line. Perhaps, what you need is just and Endolifting, surgical procedure that stretches the skin by means of suspension and traction threads. It does not have the same results as a face lift but it is advisable for patients who do not have too much facial flaccidity.

There are many surgical techniques for the treatment of facial aging. The surgeon will indicate the most convenient aging treatment according to your needs and your expectations.
