Mini Facelift Americas

A rhytidectomy or facelift is surgery that aims to reposition facial structures, restore volume and remove the excess skin that appear with aging by smoothing the effects of time on the skin. The goal of surgery is to give the patient the face of a natural, healthy and rested not with stigmata of surgery as a fully stretched skin appearance.  The face may be divided into thirds. In the upper third of the region have the forehead, eyebrows and eyes. Found in the middle third cheeks or cheekbones and in the lower third, the region of the jaw and neck. When the patient has sagging in the three thirds of the full face lift is indicated. When only two-thirds or one third has sagging indication is a minilifting. The major difference between the two surgeries is the extent of scarring.  The main goal of surgery is to improve facial sagging and not eliminate wrinkles, but the improvement ends up happening. Dynamic wrinkles (caused by mime) and deep grooves will require additional treatments such as fillers and peels.  The scars are placed in areas where they can be camouflaged. Generally hide the scalp at the top of the head (temples). Pass from the front and behind the ear and may reenter the scalp (neck). The extent of these scars will depend on the areas that will be treated and the degree of sagging of this skin .
