Facial rejuvenation and beautification

Facial rejuvenation

The face is the part of the body that most easily betrays our age. Facial aging is the result of a combination of factors: skin deterioration, the appearance of wrinkles and loss of volume.

Each part of the face ages in its own way and at a different pace. Each area must therefore be treated in a specific way, always favoring gentle, natural methods.

What factors influence skin ageing?

Factors specific to each individual :
-Genetics: This is the natural process determined by genes.
-Hormonal: A drop in hormones during menopause or andropause reduces sebaceous gland activity.
-Muscular ageing: This is the ageing caused by the activity of the skin muscles, leading to fractures in the dermis.

External factors :

UV (ultraviolet radiation): This is actinic aging, caused by solar radiation. Exposure to the sun causes helioderma.
Tobacco: Tobacco significantly accentuates the expression of helioderma. It would appear that there is a purely tobacco-induced elastosis. In addition, smoking-induced alterations in microcirculation may accentuate age-related changes.
Climatic aggression: Cold, wind and temperature variations damage capillaries.

Doctor David's advice:

Healthy lifestyle: balanced diet and no smoking
Avoid sun exposure to prevent helioderma lesions
Hormonal treatments such as DHEA can be useful during the menopause.
Moisturizing: Massage with moisturizing creams
Botulinum toxin injections prevent dermal fractures caused by skin muscle activity

Neck rejuvenation

Platysmal bands:

The appearance of dewlap "platysmal bands" at the front of the neck is frequent with age.
When they are of little importance, they can be treated with botulinum toxin "The injector needs to be tested.
However, when they are significant, they will be corrected by a cervico-facial lift.

Loose neck:

Over time, the tissues of the neck slacken under the action of gravity. To recreate a firm neck with a harmonious cervico-facial angle, the best solution is a cervico-facial lift.

The neck is an area of the face that rapidly shows signs of aging, with the appearance of a double chin or creases.

The skin in the neck area loses its elasticity due to aging, and neck enhancement not only provides a more youthful appearance, but is also associated with a person's health and vitality.

Skin aging - a natural effect of time, but not the only one - causes the skin to lose its elasticity and tone, resulting in sagging due to a reduction in the elastic fibers of the epidermis. This atrophy is strongly favored by smokers, excessive sun exposure, menopause and alcohol abuse.

In addition to the loss of skin elasticity, there may be :

- Relaxation of facial muscles (skin muscles of the cheek and neck, responsible for the "mimic").

- Melting fat (hollow cheeks)

- Excess fat, particularly around the neck and jowls.

Neck rejuvenation is possible thanks to aesthetic medicine, which uses Botox injections to effectively remove platysmal "cords" and correct ageing stigmata such as "turkey neck" or "dewlaps".

When that's not enough, a facelift is an aesthetic procedure that rejuvenates both the neck and the face.

As early as our forties, for both men and women, the need and desire for rejuvenation can arise. More generally, this is when the first anatomical signs of aging appear.

Of the many types of facelift available today, the cervico-facial facelift is the most common, correcting the neck and lower 2/3 of the face from the temples to the neck.

A neck lift improves the appearance of the neck.

Remembering that signs of aging in the neck area often result from the accumulation of loose skin, muscle and some excess fat...

The aim of a cervico-facial lift is to treat sagging and slackening of the skin and neck muscles. Depending on the type of ageing, the fatty component can also be used to correct a hollowed face.

The cervico-facial lift can correct the signs of facial aging from the temples to the cheeks and neck (correction of nasolabial folds, treatment of jowls).

To achieve such natural rejuvenation, the cervico-facial lift acts on all anatomical structures: muscles are re-tensioned and the skin is re-draped without traction on the new curve.

As for the fat, depending on the case and the area, it is either aspirated to treat an impasto or, on the contrary, injected into areas that have been hollowed out over the years.

As with other plastic and aesthetic surgery procedures, a pre-operative consultation is recommended at my practice. This consultation is necessary to assess the feasibility of the procedure. A detailed estimate will be provided at this appointment.

The procedure lasts between 1h30 and 3 hours, depending on the extent of the corrections required.

This is a surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia or assisted local anesthesia, depending on the nature of the operation, and requires a short hospital stay of 3 to 24 hours.

As the result progresses, we see a correction of the sagging while preserving the face's natural expression. Facial features should never appear "drawn".

Note that a muscular action (it must be superficial), if it proves to be necessary, makes the result more durable (the muscular plan being more solid because of its tone).

The skin is naturally "re-draped" to match the shape created by muscle mobilization, lipostructure or liposuction. Excess skin is removed.
