FACELIFTING
Over the years, there has been a change in the face and neck that represent a normal aging process. Many authors consider that due to many factors (gene, sunlight, etc.) there is a relaxation of the skin on which gravity acts. This data is based on many syrup techniques based solely on facial suspension, and the result is the name “Facelifting”, which means lifting the face – rejuvenating the face.
Facial lifting can restore pleasant contours to the face and neck, which can help the patient look and feel younger than many years. Combination of of light correction, dermabrasion or liposuction can be combined to obtain the best aesthetic result.
