Lifting cervico-facial
FICHE TECHNIQUE
- Diazanalgésie or general anesthesia.
- Hospitalization: 1 night postoperatively.
- You can leave the clinic without bandages. Shampooing is made the next day.
LOWER FACE LIFT
Aging depends on your lifestyle (smoking, sun exposure) and genetic determinism. The cervicofacial lift can raise different parts of the face that are released as a result of time … and gravity. The cervicofacial lifts up face (cheek, oval face, neck)..
Technique:
- Under general anesthesia or combined anesthesia (associated with local sedation) or diazanalgésie.
- Incision is hidden by the hair for about 3 cm long, closed to the temple to conceal scars, goes round the ear and is ending in the hair in the occipital region (behind the ear). The scar will not be visible in case you make a chignon.
- Retensioning muscles (deep lifting) and skin

LIPOFILLING
During a lifting an injection of fat or anthologue lipofilling or lipostructure is usually performed at the same time.
The fat is taken at the beginning of the intervention, then washed, centrifuged and re-injected in small amounts in the naso labial folds and sometimes on the cheekbone to improve the result.
It is your own fat!
It does not give a puffy face but causes a slight filling aesthetically benefit.
LASER:
In case of wrinkles around the lips, an abrasion of ultra pulsed C02 laser is realized to smooth the lips and reduce wrinkles.
Lift malar or concentric malar lift
Combination of Cervico face lift and centrist malar face lift or MIDFACE LIFT
In case of large malar ptosis (malar pockets) or very pronounced nasolabial wrinkles combinate with a MID FACE LIFT or concentric malar lift or a malar suspension.
This involves incision under the eyelashes of the lower lid and removal off the skin of the cheek, passing close to the periosteum (thus under the muscles of the face) and reassembling the entire middle part vertically (stability depends on the correction of to the tissue by transosseous points).
With age the relief of the middle third of the face is hollow and starts sagging. Cheekbones are flattenting, malar area is sagging and let the face look older.
COMPLICATIONS
- Hematoma (swelling of the face associated with small bleeding vessels). It leads to a painful puffiness of the face. It usually occurs within 24 hours after surgery (ie during your stay). The hematoma will be evacuated with a mild anesthetic so it does not have consequences.
- Insensitivity of skin: skin may feel a little numb during several months. Could be a bit problematic for men when shaving.
- Necrotic skin: skin develops little plates of necrosis (resulting in unsightly scars scabs). Favored by tobacco, it is imperative to stop smoking at least 1 month before and one month after surgery.
- Paralysis of the facial chin nerve: this rare complication causes a deformation of the lower lip. Usually transient and exceptional.
- Men: It is not a true complication but an annoyance, the beard is raised so you have to shave behind the ear. Waxing can solve this problem.
The result should be a natural facelift while showing real improvement. You need to look younger and healthier, without looking lifted.
SUITES OPERATOIRES
- Compression bandage around your face for 24 hours.
- Postoperative pain, stiffness, tension.
- Swelling (edema), more rarely bruises.
- Local care (shampoo daily and disinfection scars) for 8 to 10 days.
- You are presentable (except complications) after 10 days, but your results will be better (face flexibility, reduced tightness) after a month.
- Work stoppage: 15 days
Face Lift for Men
Face Lift Surgery is very common for men.
The cervico facial facelift only improves slightly nasolabial folds.
In case of deep nasolabial folds a cervico facial lift in combination with the mid face lift or an isolated mid face lift is the best choice.
Face lift for men:
Under general anesthesia or analgesia Diaz.
With overnight hospitalization or outpatient.
Men’s skin is heavier, thicker.
It requires greater traction and the use of a muscle lifting (smas, dual plane), or the association with a mid face lift.
