Face lift

First signs of ageing appear as the tissues start to get loose. At first, fine lines appear near the eys, around the lips, the forehead and across the cheeks. Next, the creases deepen near the mouth and between the eyes. Facial skin begins to loosen and sag, fat deposits start to accumulate under the chin.

Facelift operation corrects all these signs of ageing, improving the various areas of loose, sagging skin and muscle folds of the face and neck.

The operation outcome depends upon the anatomy and degree of ageing in individual patients as well as upon other factors such as skin texture, the amount of subdermal fat, bone structure and heredity. In some patients skin sagging in the cheek area is pronounced before they reach 40. The signs of premature ageing can create psychological problems for the patients making them look older than their biological age. Facelift restores a youthful appearance to one's face correcting the visible signs of ageing. But as no operation can permanently prevent ageing, another facelift might be required within 10-15 following the first operation.

A facelift could be done in many different ways and on many levels. A facelift done to a deep level is a complicated and time-consuming procedure that requires excellent surgical skills of the operator. A facelift done to a deep level is needed to achieve a dramatic effect.

The facelift smoothes loose skin of the face and neck, elevates and tightens underlying tissues and removes excess fat and skin. The operations lasts 3-5 hours. During the facelift procedure we always have an anesthesiologist following the patient through the operation whether it is done in local or general anesthesia.

Coronal lift

A coronal lift corrects the skin wrinkling and loss of tone and lifts the sagging eyebrows to a more pleasing position. The incision may be placed toward the middle of the scalp where it is hidden within the hair or at the front of the hairline. A coronal lift can be also done endoscopically through three tiny openings within the hair. The operation technique depends upon the height of the hairline and upon other factors.

A coronal lift elevates the sagging eyebrows, modifies their shape, removes excess skin and the horizontal frown lines at the top of the nose and the vertical lines between the brows. The result is a more relaxed and refreshed appearance.

Tässä leikkauksessa leikkausviilto tehdään alaripsien rajaan, samaan kohtaan kuin alaluomileikkauksessa. Toimenpiteellä vaikutetaan nenänpielen yläpuolella oleviin valahtaneisiin kudoksiin, alaluomiuraan ja alaluomiin. Leikkauksessa nostetaan posken kudoksia ylöspäin ja kiinnitetään ne oikeille paikoilleen. Näin saadaan tulos, jota pelkällä alaluomileikkauksella ei voida saavuttaa, koska se ei nosta pos

Midface lift

Midface lift is a new invention that requires excellent skills of the operating surgeon. It is particularly useful for those with sagging cheeks, deeper nasal furrows, and down-turned corners of the lips. During the procedure the fat pads of the cheeks will be repositioned up and over the cheekbones where they belong. This redraping will improve the nasal furrows caused by drooping fat pads. The most important aspect of this procedure is that it lifts the cheek tissue vertically, straight up giving a natural and youthful appearance. Incisions are made inside the lower eyelid and the skin of the lower lid is tightened.
