Recovering a younger, more dynamic face is entirely possible thanks to cosmetic surgery, and more specifically a facelift performed in Nice.
It should be noted that a facelift is the most effective way to eliminate sagging skin and facial wrinkles. Non-surgical options, although very popular, can only produce a temporary and unsustainable effect.
With age, the skin gradually loses its elasticity and begins to sag, which is when wrinkles start to appear. The deeper layers of the face - fat and muscle - also develop a lack of elasticity and contribute to the sagging of the face and neck. A facelift is performed under general anesthesia.
The incision depends on the area of the face you are targeting and the amount of excess skin to be removed.
As a surgeon, I hide the incisions in the hair, at the temples or in the nape of the neck as high up as possible, as well as behind the ears.
After making the incisions, I lift the skin and remove any excess skin. The skin is then tightened and reshaped to best match the contours and appearance of your face.
At the end of the procedure, I apply a compression bandage around the head, which you keep overnight in the clinic.
For complete rejuvenation, we can complement a facelift with a blepharoplasty in Nice to correct drooping eyelids. A facelift will make you look much younger than your age, with a natural, long-lasting effect. However, it's important to note that it may take a few months for the swelling to dissipate completely and the incision lines to reach full maturity. As for long-term results, this depends on how you look after your face afterwards.
It's important to maintain a healthy weight, as major weight fluctuations can lead to new skin extension. You should also use quality skin care products to keep your skin healthy. Even if it's impossible to stop the natural aging process, a well-cared-for face will always look younger.
Advice after a facelift?
As with any invasive procedure, you should avoid strenuous activity for the first few weeks of your recovery. Swelling and bruising may persist for several weeks after your surgery. During this time, you should try to keep your head elevated at all times to avoid any swelling. You should also stay away from saunas.
