Face-lift against first signs of aging
Face-lift is one of the primary correction procedures that is performed when the signs of aging become visible. Relaxed face skin and wrinkles around eyes and mouth are the reasons why people turn to facial aesthetic/plastic surgery. Droopy eyelids and forehead wrinkles may be indications for aesthetic correction treatment.
The end of youth does not necessarily have to be frightening!
In an effort to perceive life, people have always been trying to grasp its secrets: how does it emerge and how does it fade away. The transition time between juvenile phase to the adult phase is hardly recognizable and most people go through it without noticing. But perception of this transition differs at different epochs.
Going through subtle juvenile transitions, people suddenly realize, to their astonishment, that the youth has passed. Despite fulfilling their existential and emotional needs, many begin to face unpleasant doubts.
Is the end of the youth, at the same time, the end of experiencing everything that is beautiful, or a new phase brings new pleasures and challenges with itself? A lot of middle-aged people asked themselves this question.
When they realize that most of the life goals have been achieved and that the children have grown up, a lot of people begin to fear for the future and what is coming next. Looking at the mirror over and over again, they feel they should not allow their youth to end. This is why they decide to do something in order to feel young and beautiful again.

Perception of Beauty in different epochs
That this question is not new confirms the history of art, anthropology, medicine, archeology, and other disciplines. People have striven to prolong their youth, vitality and beauty since always.
The notion of beauty in ancient Greece was described by the word kalokagathia.
Perfect beauty was regarded by ancient Greeks as a synthesis of outstanding physical appearance and spiritual beauty. Only a good and virtuous man was seen as beautiful and vice versa.
On the other hand, Egyptians valued, above all, physical attractiveness. Their innovative skills in making the most efficient preparations for body care and beauty are still standards for leading cosmetic companies.
Humanistic perception of beauty is represented in the famous drawing of Leonardo Da Vinci- the Vetruvian Man. This drawing implies belief that the one is beautiful if his body proportions are in harmony. The history of aesthetics as a philosophical discipline took the same perspective: the beauty lies in proportions and harmonization of all parts of the whole.
The aesthetics of ugliness as a phenomenon of the 20th century has been the subject of research of many disciplines. They all have the same goal: better understanding of the beauty’s antipode.
Face-lift as an answer to the aging!
Youth does not pay attention to the transience of life and aging which comes in the second phase of life. However, the fact that this period full of pleasures passes irrevocably makes middle-aged people become overwhelmed with uneasiness.
Wishing to stop the time, many turn to social and sport activities, travels and hobbies. Others decide to undergo cosmetic correction to overcome the feeling of distress. Such a correction procedure is the face-lift.
It is a surgical procedure which involves the lifting of the relaxed skin of the face. It is carried out to restore youthfulness of the dermis and refresh the entire face.
How is the face-lift procedure carried out?
After determining diagnosis, the appropriate procedure is suggested for the correction treatment the patient desires. Taking into account possibilities and individual characteristics, a facial cosmetic surgeon suggests the type of the procedure. Fortunately, most of the suggestions are accepted and patients leave the clinic satisfied.
During the process of aging, elastic fibres of the skin become greatly reduced and cannot be compensated. With time, epiderm becomes thinner, muscles become more relaxed and due to gravitation, skin becomes sagging. The effects of the surgical procedure are reflected in lifting and tightening of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. This is why, in specific age, refreshing and tightening the skin with face lift is recommended.
This surgical procedure involves face and neck lift and its results are the most lasting. This is the advantage of facial aesthetic surgery compared to other popular rejuvenation methods.
In what way the face lift is performed?
The face lift procedure involves lifting and separating the skin of the face from muscle and bone tissue.
The surgery is performed in many directions and includes a number of dermal layers to achieve the best possible results. When the appropriate tightness and form is achieved, the excess skin is being cut and removed.
Incision is usually made in the region where it is going to be the least noticeable – in the region of the ear and below the line of the scalp.
After saturing, the incision is almost completely invisible.
Preparations for surgical procedure include common analysis and RTG image. If the health problems are missing, the procedure is carried out under general anaesthesia.
The period after surgery requires using cold compress to reduce expected swelling, avoiding exposition to the sun and hard activities.
Final results can be seen after a few months, and the patient is satisfied with his/her new, rejuvenated face. Exhaustion vanishes and new energy and enthusiasm emerge.
Facial aesthetic surgery – When to begin?
Aesthetic defects do not need to be a barrier nor reason for hiding from the people, and feeling unwanted. Methods of facial aesthetic surgery can provide everyone with a harmonized and attractive face.
Facial aesthetic procedures may be applied at as early as the age of thirty when one wants to make slight changes in the face. Treatment of fine lines and fatty bags under eyes, cheek lift, and lip augmentation are some of the most popular aesthetic procedures.
Most women and men decide to undergo aesthetic surgery in their early ‘50s or after the age of 40. In this age, horizontal forehead lines, known as glabellar lines, and vertical lines between eyebrows (frown lines) are far more visible. So-called laugh lines, around the mouth and eyes, are signs of joy, but of ageing, as well. Facial rejuvenation surgery successfully removes nasolabial and transverse neck folds.
Even those who regularly nurture skin on the face and neck, gradually get wrinkles and other signs of ageing. Sometimes, regular aesthetic treatments and cosmetic products are not enough. This process is inevitable and impossible to escape.
