Face Lift

Face Lift Neck Lift or Face Aesthetic Surgery

Face lift is a surgical procedure that can remove excess fat, tighten muscles and redrape the skin of the face, resulting in a more youthful appearance. As people age, their skin becomes less elastic, particularly on their face. Sometimes, sagging skin around the jaw line or loose skin on the neck becomes particularly noticeable and inflattering. In such circumstances, a face lift also called rhytidectomy, can dramatically smooth the skin and improve a person’s appearance. While other procedures can smooth surface wrinkles, only a face lift can tighten sagging facial skin, jowls, double chins and loose skin. A face lift reshapes the lower one-third of the face while eyelid surgery and brow lift address the eyes and forehead.

Non-surgical face lift/ face lift without surgery/ Non-invasive face lift/ How to lift your face skin naturally/ V line face lift/ / how to lift face without surgery/ instant face lift?

Non-surgical face lift or face lift without surgery or instant face lift involves non-surgical methods to contour the face and lift the sagging tissues. Normally one or more are used in combination to give an effective result. In these the most common are Fillers and Thread lift. Fillers when injected at certain predetermined points not only lifts the tissues but also gives volume where desired which is depleted with age. Fillers help to reposition the ligaments and fat pads at the pre-desired positions to give effective results. Thread lift on the other hand is less of volumisation and more of repositioning the sagging tissues and fat pads. When both are combined they not only give a V shape lift but also an effective volumisation to the aging face.

In this method we utilise Micro-needling to open the pores all over the face followed by PRP (platelet rich plasma) injection all over the face and spraying the same all over so as to allow penetration through the multiple holes created by micro-needling. It gives an effective collagen regeneration creating a lifting effect of the face and also a good glow to the face.
