The appearance of the facial profile is crucial for both men and women. Sun exposure, time, and sometimes stress cause the muscular and skin structure of the face, especially in the lower part around the mandibular frame, to sag, giving the person an aged appearance.
The mandibular mini-lift procedure, by restoring youthful tension to the lower facial frame, can improve self-esteem and thus interpersonal, social, and professional relationships.
Today, thousands of men and women between the ages of forty-five and sixty undergo this procedure. This technique can be combined with others such as endoscopic lifting (M.I.V.E.L.), lipofilling (S.E.F.F.I.), and blepharoplasty.
HOW DOES THE CONSULTATION WORK?
During the consultation, you will need to express your expectations, and the surgeon will explain the expected results using a mirror. They will ask about your health status and habits, especially regarding smoking, and will explain the most suitable technique for your case and any possible combination with other techniques.
HOW IS THE PROCEDURE PERFORMED?
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation on a Day Hospital basis. Through a thin incision around the ear, the skin is lifted and repositioned in its natural place. This procedure takes about 1 hour, and discharge is possible in the evening without any facial bandages.
WHAT IS THE RECOVERY LIKE?
Stitches will be removed after about 7-15 days. Hair washing is possible after 3 days. Work can be resumed after about 5 days.
ARE HAIR AND SKIN CUT?
For this procedure, no hair is cut, and only a small amount of skin is removed. The procedure acts on skin tension.
HOW LONG DOES THE EFFECT LAST?
The rejuvenation achieved is long-lasting: the aging process continues its natural course, but the apparent age will certainly be less than the actual age. Post-operative skin care is recommended: the surgeon will advise you on how to best maintain and enhance the results for as long as possible.
