What effect does age have on your face?
Aging is not just a matter of redundant skin. As we grow older, multiple changes combine and conspire to give us an "old" as well as a "tired" and "sad" expression.
This explains why different small procedures performed on the tip of the nose, lips, chin, brows, fat of the face, etc., are often combined with a face lift in order to achieve a younger, more natural look. If only the skin of the face
is stretched, the patient may look artificial, with
a "pulled" look.
If you are relatively young, say 35 years old or so, it is ideal for you to undergo a minor surgical procedure every few years as soon as the first signs of aging begin to appear (e.g. the eyelids
are corrected first, followed by tightening of the double chin, etc.). The idea is to maintain youth rather than to treat aging!
Face lift
A "face lift" (meloplasty) improves the appearance of the cheeks and neck. It does not include the eyelids or the forehead.
Dr Fanous uses a new technique of face
lifting: the Mini-Dissection. Thanks to this special approach, a maximum result is obtained using minimum surgical dissection, therefore causing less swelling.
The hair is not shaved.
The incision starts above the ear, where it is
hidden in the hairline. It then runs inside the
ear and into a natural crease where the scar is
least noticeable. Finally, the incision continues behind the ear and along the hairline of the
neck, resulting in a scar, but one that can be
camouflaged by hair.
