À QUI SE DESTINE LE LIFTING CERVICO-FACIAL ?
As we age, the skin loses elasticity and the muscles become slack. Facial volume gradually shifts downward. This leads to the appearance of jowls, marionette lines, and nasolabial folds and cheek wrinkles (jugal wrinkles).
Face lift corrects all these signs of aging by repositioning the tissues of the face and neck.
This procedure is particularly indicated for men and women, generally aged 45 and over, who suffer from moderate to severe skin laxity in the neck and lower face area.
Common signs prompting a consultation:
- Appearance of jowls altering the facial contour;
- Deepening of the nasolabial folds, between the nose and the mouth;
- Marionette lines at the corners of the mouth, giving a sad or tired appearance;
- Cheek wrinkles: pronounced wrinkles on the cheeks;
- Sagging and excess skin around the neck.
This facelift does not alter facial features, but restores tension to them, taking into account their original anatomy. The result is a rested, fresh appearance, without a frozen effect.
