Face lifting is a very popular procedure and is often carried out by plastic surgeons. The main idea of the procedure is to revert the process of aging through a lift of the skin in certain areas (forehead, cheeks and neck).The effect is a revitalized look of the face, contour correction and smoothening of the wrinkles.

During a face lift procedure, with women as well as men, the incisions are made the temple area in front of the ear, around the ear lobe and further in the hair area. The excess skin is removed resulting in its proper tightening and smoothening the surface.
Just after surgery, the doctor places a special bandage in order to secure the incision areas. The bandage is taken off about 5-7 after the surgery. After that the hair should be regularly washed, with special attention to the incision areas. Many patients use painkillers during the stage after the procedure to eliminate the discomfort, however taking into account the intensity of pain it is not always necessary.

The stitches are usually removed a few days after the procedure. The only scar that lasts the longest is the one in front of the ear. With time however it also becomes invisible to the naked eye.
