Endoscopic midface lift. Prices, reviews, ratings
General information
This procedure involves the use of an endoscope, which is inserted into the midface to properly perform the operation. This device displays every movement of the surgeon on the screen. This eliminates damage to blood vessels or nerve endings. The operation is performed under general anesthesia. Its average duration is up to 3 hours and depends on the volume of work. Lower eyelid plastic surgery may be performed as an accompanying procedure.
Procedure
Preparation
Before the operation, the specialist carefully examines the patient's face, determines pathologies of the contour and lower jaw, as well as the presence of folds and fat deposits. It is mandatory to determine the flabbiness of the skin and facial muscles. In general, the patient takes a blood test and an ECG. Several weeks before the operation, you must stop drinking alcohol, tobacco products and medications. A week before the operation, you should not undergo aggressive cosmetic procedures, such as peeling, or apply various products to your face.
Additional examinations are carried out as prescribed by your doctor.
Midface lift procedure
Endoscopic midface lift involves a mandatory incision, as with a classic facelift. The incision is made in the area under the cheekbone, temporal, chin and behind the ear. After this, excess facial and neck skin, as well as excess fat, are removed.
Rehabilitation period
During the rehabilitation period, there may be a loss of sensitivity, slight swelling and bruising in the incision area. The following will help to cope with such problems:
- reduced physical activity;
- avoid visiting a solarium and taking warm baths;
- refusing alcohol and smoking;
- prohibition of facial massage and application of cosmetics.
