Facelift Buenos Aires

Introduction.. As part of the ageing process our skin progressively loses its elasticity and our facial muscles tend to slacken along with a loss of volume from the mid face. The effect of this process on the face is to cause the cheeks to become less prominent, the nose to mouth lines to deepen, the jawline to sag giving rise to jowls and the skin of the neck to fall into loose folds. Around the eyes the eyebrows may droop and the skin in the eyelids tends to drape giving a hooded appearance. The rate at which this happens varies from one person to another and is determined genetically although it may be accelerated by smoking or excessive sun exposure. These changes can be addressed surgically with a face and neck lift which may also be combined with surgery to the eyelids. He will also be honest in informing you if he feels you are not ready for a facelift yet but should wait a few years. What can be done? There are several operations that can be done to rejuvenate the ageing face which are referred to as facelifting. The decision as to which type of facelift is performed will depend on your particular requests, the anatomy of your face presently and the effect that ageing has played on your facial appearance. The latter may be assessed with the help of photographs taken ten years or so before and also from your youth which you will be requested to bring to the consultation. Often the main concern is the neck area. If there is a lot of loose skin or separation of the muscles producing two bands, then a neck lifting procedure may be required. This can usually be performed through the facelift incisions so tightening the neck muscles to a more youthful appearance. Occasionally a small scar, hidden beneath the chin, may also be required to tighten the neck muscles centrally.
