Signs of aging of the face dishearten not only women, but also men – when, when looking in the mirror, you want to take measures to eliminate wrinkles and sagging skin as soon as possible. With age, cosmetic and hardware techniques no longer bring the expected effect, then plastic surgery comes to the rescue. Skin tightening with excision of its excess will help get rid of not only wrinkles, but also sagging cheeks, a heavy double chin, and other age-related troubles. About what kind of surgery will help to get a clear oval of the face and smooth skin, read on estet-portal.com.
When and why is a skin tightening needed
Surgical removal of sagging skin is not something that patients immediately resort to. Skin tightening, or rhytidectomy, refers to fairly serious plastic surgery and is performed according to indications. It is usually recommended for older patients who have pronounced ptosis and deep wrinkles. The following changes occur:
- the correct oval of the face is violated,
- nasolabial folds sharply sink,
- a double or even triple chin is formed.
Sometimes, the indication for a facelift may be deep wrinkles and sagging skin resulting from a patient's dramatic weight loss, regardless of age. Rhytidectomy can be performed on separate areas most affected by age-related changes – for example, on the neck, in the lower third of the face.
Which type of skin tightening should you prefer
The simplified essence of rhytidectomy is approximately that the surgeon makes a detachment of the skin of the face, tightens it and cuts out the stretched excess. The result is a smooth, wrinkle-free face. At the Medical Club clinic, skin tightening can be performed at different levels depending on the severity of the problem being treated.
Superficial rhytidectomy refers to a facelift and excision of the skin itself, while, if necessary, not only excess skin, but also excess adipose tissue can be excised.
Deep rhytidectomy already affects not only the skin, but also the dense subcutaneous tissues – it's both muscles and tendons. The so-called SMAS lifting is performed, due to which not only the skin is tightened, but also the oval of the face.
Combined rhytidectomy involves complex excision of both deep and superficial tissues, their tension in different directions. The result of such an operation is the complete restoration of the shape of the face and neck, the elimination of tissue omissions and the elimination of wrinkles.
How is skin tightening carried out in a complex of anti-aging procedures
Circular skin tightening, when the face and neck are corrected at the same time, is considered a full-fledged surgical operation and requires a highly qualified plastic surgeon, significant experience in performing such interventions. In the Medical Club clinic, rhytidectomy is performed under general anesthesia. On the eve of the operation, the patient has a detailed and thorough conversation with the surgeon, discusses the features of the intervention and predicted results, and receives recommendations for preoperative preparation.
Depending on the extent of intervention, the operation lasts an average of 2-3 hours. Incisions are made, as a rule, in the area of the scalp and natural folds of the ear, and therefore postoperative scars remain practically invisible. Internal seams are made with absorbable materials. The operation ends with the application of a special elastic bandage, which should fix the tissues in their new position and speed up healing.
The surgeon of the Medical Club clinic, who performed the skin tightening, will explain to the patient the peculiarities of the recovery period, when you have to follow a certain regimen, refuse physical activity, take anti-inflammatory and painkillers if necessary, undergo a course of physiotherapy procedures in order to recover passed quickly and without complications. The final result of skin tightening can be assessed after about three months, and the face will remain tightened for 5-10 years.
