Why a facelift? There are many reasons why a facelift may
be desirable. Stress, smoking, the Ultra Violet rays of the sun or even just
your genes may have caused distressing changes in the appearance of your neck
and face. A typical facelift will firm the facial skin and delicate small
muscles of the tissues lying just under the skin (SMAS layer). The sagging
tissues can be gently lifted back into their original position where they were
before the aging process affected them.
With Professor Graewe, you
receive the advice and treatment of an expert in the field of face lifting. He
will enable you to avoid any unnatural, stiff or mask-like appearance which
otherwise might appear. A successful face lifting is the result of a highly
trained surgeon with a natural talent and sensitivity for beauty and aesthetics.
You are invited to inform yourself about a facelift in a personal consultation
and view "before and after" pictures of our
patients.
Mini-facelift
This is a gentle surgical procedure for
smaller, more natural changes with very little scarring. Used to correct saggy
"chipmunk" cheeks by tightening up the supporting facial muscles, this lift
results in a convincing restoration of youthful appearance and young facial
proportions. The recovery process is faster due to smaller, minimal incisions
and very little scarring.
Facelift / Necklift
Here is a
procedure that lifts cheeks, temples and neck areas through tightening the
supporting facial muscles (SMAS-technique). This combination face and neck
lifting is done in a way which, after proper healing, results in only barely
visible scars located behind and in the ears.
Mid-face lift
If
there is a problem with sunken, hollow cheeks, this `Beverly Hills` type
procedure is most recommended because it only involves incisions on the inside
of the mouth and behind the hairline of the temples, which results in minimal
scarring. The cheeks are gently raised to give a youthful, better appearance and
the naso-labial creases are reduced while facial tissues are lifted and firmed
to restore a younger look. Scarring is hidden behind the hairline and is
virtually non-visible.
A Youthful Face through
Lipofilling
With each passing year, a woman's facial structure changes
due to the shrinking of the fatty tissues found just under the facial skin. The
face may look longer, even haggard. Using your own body-fat tissues, sunken
cheeks, skin creases and wrinkles can be filled out again. Laugh lines, frown
lines on the forehead, creases or too thin lips and chin can be filled in and
built up. This gentle procedure creates a young and healthy facial contour and
is to be recommended over methods involving injection of permanent or non
permanent foreign substances because a proper application of your own body's fat
cells can give excellent, long-lasting improvement. Your own fat cells are
injected through such small injection sites that normally there are no visible
scars.
