Timely use of skin care products can slow down the appearance of age -related changes on the face, but not stop. When the skin loses elasticity and firmness, and the contour "floats", you need to find a way to correct the situation. Modern cosmetology offers alternative options to radical surgical methods. We will talk about facial rejuvenation with the help of various lifting procedures.
At a certain age, the skin becomes flabby, becomes fluffy, wrinkles become more visible. The face looks tired due to drooping eyebrows and eyelids and the appearance of nasolabial folds. The visual signs of aging, visible to others, do not add confidence to a woman.
All these points are associated with changes in the superficial muscular aponeurotic system SMAS (Superficial muscular aponeurotic system). This is an area of facial muscle that stretches over time, causing the contour to "fall off". Muscles can no longer keep the skin in good condition. Then hardware cosmetology helps to be safe, effective and less traumatic than plastic surgery methods to tighten the skin. Among them are SMAS facelift and other technologies.
Is that a face lift
The easiest way to tighten the skin is to use a cream. You can do a facelift every day at home if you keep a precious jar. It is much cheaper than hardware cosmetology, and, moreover, not so scary.
Cream-lifting for the face is divided into day and night, with a narrow purpose-anti-aging. They can also differ significantly in consistency (such as gel, light or relatively dense). Pay attention to the composition: collagen, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, fats and vitamins must be there. Cosmetologist reviews of some cosmetic lifting products for the face are positive if you start using them from the age of 30 and do it regularly.
Natural masks also give a slight lifting effect, you can safely combine them with sophisticated cosmetic developments. For example, a mask of oatmeal and olive oil. Other options are strawberry masks (+ egg whites and a few drops of apricot oil) or cucumber (+ white clay and lemon juice).
Facial lifting serums have gained popularity among beautyholics, helping to fight wrinkles and tighten ovals. The product must also contain components necessary for rejuvenation, as in creams, as well as peptide complexes. Facial cleansing at home is such an important part of Korean skin care.
Many women do face lifting with facial massager. For example, jade reduces swelling and supports lymph function. It is ideal for shaping and training dense muscles such as chewing muscles.
If you decide to do a facelift in the office of a beautician, you need to be prepared for the procedure. Remember some important rules.
- Two weeks before the facelift, you should stop smoking (because it affects blood circulation) and after, during the recovery period, as well.
- Do not take blood thinners for two weeks.
- The day before the procedure, it is recommended to wash your hair so as not to catch the infection, and get a good night's sleep.
- On average, a facelift lasts from 1 to 4 hours. Anesthesia is used depending on the complexity.
- After the procedure, for some time it is necessary to release alcohol, avoid stress.
Type of face lift operation
Plastic surgery comes to the rescue when age -related changes can no longer be corrected by cosmetic procedures.
Tightens round skin
With round tightening, the doctor only works with the top layer of skin. That is why it is often called superficial. Lifting the face and neck in this way helps smooth out wrinkles and correct oval. Often we talk about the correction of the following areas:
- middle part of face;
- frontotemporal zone;
- the outer part of the eyebrows;
- pipi;
- the area around the corner of the eye;
- the anterior surface and sides of the neck.
After surgery, you have to stay in the hospital, and after a week the stitches are removed. The swelling should disappear completely after eight weeks. During this period, the doctor may recommend massage and physiotherapy. You can appreciate the photos taken before and after the facelift surgery. The results will be clear in 6 months. The main nuances of a round elevator:
- It is considered the most traumatic and serious of all interventions.
- The effect lasts for several years - it is desirable to repeat it in ten years.
- It is not recommended for women under 40 years of age.
- Subcutaneous removal only affects the top layer of skin - for minor corrections.
- Smas-lifting involves tightening not only the facial skin, but adipose and muscle tissue. This is a deeper intervention to correct a strong weakness.
During the recovery period, you don’t have to wash your hair for a week, sleep facing upwards in the first three days. Also, for three months, avoid playing sports, visiting swimming pools and saunas.
Endoscopic facelift
Endoscopic removal solves the problem of lowering the eyebrows, eliminating facial wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyebrows. It also corrects the loss of volume of the zygomatic area and eliminates nasolabial folds. Also, lifting the upper third of the face is compatible with blepharoplasty and lifting the lower third of the face and neck. During this method, small incisions are made in the scalp, not long, no skin removal techniques. Shaving the hair is not required.
If the age -related changes are of moderate severity, the procedure will be as effective and painless as possible. And it will help to rejuvenate the face. But with significant deviations, you need to switch to the previous method. The recovery time for a facelift is approximately the same as for a facelift. As well as a ban on recovery periods. Nuances of the endoscopic approach:
- No scars are visible, but for some time, an interesting sensation in the suture area may be bothersome.
- Allowed to patients from 30 to 45 years.
- The anti-aging effect achieved will last for five years or more-depending on individual characteristics.
As with a round facelift, endoscopic interventions are not acceptable for people with diabetes, heart and vascular disease, thyroid gland disease, internal organs and other health problems.
Lift the thread face
It is considered a small operation using yarns of different materials. They strengthen and support the skin frame. In their place, as they dissolve, collagen appears, which increases the elasticity of the skin. This procedure allows you to get rid of deep wrinkles, correct the oval of the face and lift the corners of the eyes and lips. Among surgical interventions, this facelift can be called the best.
The thread is inserted under the skin through a needle. The doctor makes a notch and stretches the skin, correcting the threads in the tissue. Connective fibers form around it after a while. They will correct the face in a tense state. Other nuances of the process:
- The procedure takes place under local anesthesia.
- The operation lasted about 40 minutes, no more than an hour.
- Allowed for girls from 30 years, but not suitable for women after 45 years.
- Obesity is a strict contraindication - the thread will not withstand the load of various tissues.

- It is important to take care of the face in terms of facial expressions - laughing, crying and expressing violent emotions are prohibited for several days.
Non -surgical facial removal
Every woman wants to look more beautiful and younger without surgery. Moreover, choose a procedure with a lasting effect. We will talk about the most effective.

Lift the face of the needle
Radio wave energy with the help of this hardware procedure is transmitted to the skin layer from 0. 5 to 3. 5 mm. Microneedles penetrate to a depth prescribed by a doctor. Because of this, the skin immediately shrinks and thickens. After a month and a half, the process of regeneration and synthesis of new collagen begins.
A multi -needle facelift is performed under local anesthesia in the form of a cream. You can do without it. Previously, the skin was cleansed with an antiseptic.
