The pursuit of facial harmonization and the rejuvenation of facial features, such as the malar region (the cheekbones) and the eyelids, is the wish of many patients who seek out surgeons for interventions and injections.
Aesthetic treatments for facial rejuvenation
Female facial harmonization is performed through a set of combined aesthetic treatments that, in addition to improving facial harmony, transform the features and treat facial aging, which is characterized by loss of skin elasticity and the descent of tissues, muscles and fat.
This set includes non-surgical treatments, such as hyaluronic acid filler. In addition to improving the facial contour, this technique restores volume to a specific part of the face and can be used to soften deeper folds, also known as static wrinkles. How long the harmonization lasts can vary depending on the area where the acid is applied, usually from 6 months to 2 years.
However, plastic surgery may also be recommended depending on the patient’s case.
For this purpose, rhytidoplasty, or facelift, is one of the essential harmonization surgeries, since its main goal is to lift the cheek area located in the midface and, if necessary, combine it with lifting of the neck musculature to reduce the signs of aging.
The procedure begins with incisions made by the surgeon in areas previously outlined with a surgical skin marker. Each case will require an appropriate technique for performing the surgery, with the incisions hidden in the scalp and along the natural contours of the patient’s face and ears. All blood vessels are then assessed and cauterized to prevent bleeding.
The surgery is completed with sutures (the well-known stitches) to close the skin and the tissue beneath it and, above all, to suspend the muscles.
The entire procedure lasts 4 to 6 hours on average. What causes the variation in time is the indication of complementary procedures by your surgeon, since, in some cases, fillers with the patient’s own fat, chemical peels or laser may be performed, as these support the facial rejuvenation provided by the surgery.
When do I need droopy eyelid surgery?
Droopy eyelids bother many patients because they give them a tired appearance and, in addition, they can impair vision and make it difficult to see due to significant sagging, as in the case of elderly people.
With blepharoplasty, the eyelids are repositioned by removing excess skin and fat bags. This plastic surgery of the eye area also helps rejuvenate the gaze and reduce patients’ wrinkles and expression lines, providing a better result for those seeking complete facial harmonization.
