Filament facelift: compromise or breakthrough in aesthetic surgery?

Cosmetic surgery is constantly changing. After all, life itself is changing - many patients do not agree on the hours of operation and a long rehabilitation period. Someone can not choose the time in his busy schedule, and someone just afraid of surgery.

It is for these patients was invented non-traumatic method of face lift using special fixing threads . With this method, the surgeon cuts through the tissue and does not not cut the skin. All manipulations are performed through small  Filament facelift: compromise or breakthrough in aesthetic surgery?    skin puncture and tissue fixation occurs by means of a special design filaments. Depending on the type of yarn cones is or may be a notch which is moved and securely fasten tissue in a favorable position.

The number of filaments required for tightening determines specialist depending on the degree of ptosis, i.e. prolapse tissue, skin type, age, and the desired result.

Especially for young patients   developed biodegradable, i.e. absorbable sutures. They are under the skin for 6-8 months, strengthening facial contours newly created, then dissolve to form a natural product. During its stay in the body, they are covered by very thin fibrous film, which later serves as a carrier and not allowing tissues to descend.

For older patients   used non-absorbable thread of modern safe materials. They provide a more significant tissue tightening. When the filaments are not palpable, and does not cause discomfort. Also, any time the thread can be removed during subsequent surgical facelift. At the same time the implementation of the operation, they will not interfere.

The recovery period after the strand is minimal lift . It is limited to a few days depending on the number of threads specified. It eliminates the possibility of large hematomas and violation of skin sensitivity. Punctures through which set the thread is not visible to others, and do not cause inconvenience. The most common reaction of friends - delight and surprise at a time when improving the appearance accompanies no seams or hems.

Lifting the thread completely compatible with other cosmetic procedures that can be performed 2-3 weeks after the procedure. It is not an operation and manipulation actions can be called a surgeon to install strands. If a patient does not require anesthesia - holding and fixing the filaments occur under local anesthesia. The duration of the manipulation is 20-40 minutes, at least - 1:00. Everything happens in the operating room and the absolute sterility.

The duration and severity of the effect of strand lifting usually comparable to surgical tightening   or a little less. It all depends on the individual characteristics of the skin and other tissues.

"... Women in the audience, tell me how many of you buy a pair of shoes to wear in the calculation of their 10 years? "- So sounded the issue-the foreword to the performance of the famous Spanish surgeon - a specialist in minimally invasive methods of rejuvenation a filament at the World Symposium on aesthetic surgery. The audience froze. Nobody understood the meaning of treatment. However, after 2-3 minutes, everything fell into place - we are talking about non-traumatic methods of rejuvenation , With the absence of any scarring and a shorter recovery period.

 Filament facelift: compromise or breakthrough in aesthetic surgery?    "What do you mean shoes? "- You ask.

This parallel is not accidental. Maitre plastic surgery meant the duration of the effect of lifting the threads after installation for a facelift.

" What result do you expect from the suspenders? How long, in your opinion, should stay the resulting effect? What "sacrifices" you're ready for the result in the duration of 10 years? Will you accept the scars after the surgery? What if you are offered two times smaller in length effect, but without incisions and scars, manipulation under local anesthesia and two three-day period of rehabilitation? What will you choose - durable shoes that sweeps 10 years, or those same shoes, but other brands that in 3-4 years you will easily change it to the new? "

As it turned out, the question is simple and complex at the same time, because we are not talking about shoes and about the person. And you can not go wrong here.

Opinion of patients on shorter effect after filament braces can not hear often, but this opinion is. Do I have to argue with that? Hardly. You must understand that nothing happens for a reason. And plastic surgery, too. What we pay for stable facelift in conventional plastics? A three-hour surgery, anesthesia, off from the usual schedule for at least 3 weeks, pain medications after surgery, bandages and removing stitches, the presence of visible scarring, even cleverly hidden in the folds of the skin, restoring lost sensitivity on the face, often - to get used to a new face, which at first seems a stranger ... and much, much more. Yes, the result is worth it - you can forget about the problem for many years.

Another case. Manipulation lasting 40 minutes, local anesthesia instead cuts a puncture in inconspicuous places, instead of pain slight discomfort after the surgery, the natural result without tendency to over-face, almost no rehabilitation, no dressings and sutures, there is no loss of sensitivity and ... the duration of the effect, Yes, perhaps a little less than the surgical facelift.

" how many ? "- You ask.

From 2 to 5 years on average. And this despite the fact that this procedure can be repeated. And despite the fact that there are absorbable thread that does not even leave a trace under the skin - only the finest fibrosis, which "holds" the skin without letting it fall to the unaesthetic position.

" A pronounced effect? "- Followed by the question again.

Enough for the patient to be happy. At the same time a natural! So close to the people who you see often, usually ask the question - "I can not understand what happened to you, but it looks awesome! "

 Filament facelift: compromise or breakthrough in aesthetic surgery?  Let the reader really does not think about the commitment of the author of this article exclusively to strand facelift. Traditional face-lifting has quite a large share of his practice. However, over the past few years, the patients and the surgeon had a choice ... And not only - what shoes to buy and how to wear them. But the choice of the method of rejuvenation, radical-conservative, or gentle, compromise and progressive.

The choice is yours and your doctor ...
