General information

An additional procedure at the discretion of the doctor may be:
- chin liposuction;
- neck lift;
- blepharoplasty.
Procedure
Preparation
Before such correction, the doctor conducts a thorough examination of the face and studies the patient's medical history. Blood tests and ECG are mandatory. Several weeks before the procedure, you must exclude the use of alcoholic beverages, tobacco products and medications. It is also forbidden to use cosmetics and aggressive methods of cleansing the face and neck (peeling, masks).
SMAS-lifting procedure
SMAS-lifting involves making an incision in the scalp area, near the ear. Thanks to this incision, the doctor can peel off the surface tissue and separate the SMAS layer. Special clamps and fixators are used for this. During the lift, excess tissue is removed by excision, and then the remaining skin is fixed in a new stretched position. At the same time, the surgeon tightens the skin in the neck and chin area. This removes unsightly folds and flabbiness of the skin. In some cases, extended SMAS can be performed. It allows you to tighten almost the entire facial area and eliminates wrinkles.
Rehabilitation period
SMAS-lifting requires the patient to stay in the hospital for an average of about 2 days after the operation. The specialist monitors the healing process and applies a fixing bandage. It must be worn for a week. It helps to fix the correct contour and eliminates swelling, bruises and hematomas.
In general cases, the doctor recommends avoiding:
- facial expressions and strong chewing movements;
- physical exercises for a month;
- cosmetic procedures;
- sun rays and visiting a bathhouse (sauna).
If all the doctor's recommendations are followed, the scars after the operation will be almost invisible.
