Today, there are several types of facelifts that can improve the unsightly effects of aging on the face and neck, either in specific areas or more extensively.
Objectives of the intervention
A cervico-facial lift is the most frequently performed procedure at the Phénicia Cosmetic Clinic in Marseille. It is a surgical correction of aging in the neck and face, from the temporal region to the jowls. The purpose of a cervico-facial lift is to treat sagging and slackening of the skin and muscles of the face (temples and eyebrows, cheeks, jowls, facial contours) and neck.
The aim of this type of procedure is not to change facial features. On the contrary, simply restoring the various anatomical structures of the face and neck (skin, muscle, fat) allows the patient to regain the appearance they had a few years earlier, giving them a natural and relaxed look.
The intervention
During a cervico-facial lift performed at the Phénicia Cosmetic Clinic in Marseille, the muscles are tightened to correct sagging. The skin is then redraped over the new contours without excessive tension. This dual action produces natural, long-lasting results.
Any excess fat can be treated with liposuction.
Conversely, if the face is emaciated, this can be corrected at the same time by reinjecting autologous fat (lipostructure). In this way, the face and neck are, in a sense, "rebuilt" and "restructured."
Postoperative care
Patients can be discharged from the Clinique Phénicia in Marseille the day after or two days after their cervico-facial lift. During the first few days following the procedure, it is advisable to rest as much as possible and avoid any exertion.
Following a cervico-facial lift, swelling (slight edema), bruising in the neck and chin area, and a feeling of tightness behind the ears and around the neck may occur.
These post-operative effects are completely normal and will disappear within two weeks after surgery. The scars are hidden by the hair at the front and back of the head. The final results of a facelift performed at the Phénicia Cosmetic Clinic in Marseille can be seen six months after surgery.
