FACE AND NECK LIFT

With age, sagging, tiny and large wrinkles occur due to the decrease in collagen on the face and loss of elasticity in the skin. Tiny wrinkles are wrinkles caused by muscle movements in the genes. These pass by paralyzing the muscles with Botox. Examples include crow’s feet, wrinkles between the eyebrows and wrinkles on the forehead. Sagging on the sides of the nose, lips, cheeks, jowl and sides of the face, especially on the lower part of the face, is caused by the loss of volume in the face and the deterioration of the elasticity structure of the skin and subcutaneous tissues and sagging. It is necessary to both replace the volume and stretch the skin when necessary. Sagging cannot be corrected in any other way. The stretching process starts with an incision through the hair and there is an incision scar that turns around the ear and ends through the hair behind the ear. The stretched tissue is not the skin but the structure we call the smas layer under the skin. When the load on the skin is high, the scars are noticeable. The face is not raised high enough. Under the skin, by stretching the smas fascia above the muscle, the neck and lower face are stretched and the structures here are moved to where they should be. The skin only covers it.
