Today, I’m talking with Mr. Marino Supriya, an ENT consultant specializing in facial cosmetic surgery. We’re going to explore the different types of facelift techniques and discuss some common questions and concerns that patients have when considering this procedure.
So, Mr. Supriya, can you tell us about the latest techniques in facial plastic surgery?
If we look at the history of facelifts, the old techniques involved pulling the skin upwards. However, after decades of analysis, surgeons realized that this technique resulted in an artificial, “wind tunnel” look, and the results did not last long. This led to the development of alternative techniques, with a lot of anatomical studies contributing to the evolution of modern procedures.
Nowadays, the consensus is that to achieve the best outcome, it’s essential to address the main areas that lead to sagging and a tired, aged look. The latest advancement is the deep plane facelift, which addresses the muscles and ligaments of the face that slacken and droop over time.
With a deep plane facelift, we go beneath the muscle and release the ligaments, allowing us to reposition the muscle layer into a more youthful position. As a result, the facelift looks much more natural. The skin does not feel tight, and the patient looks more energetic and refreshed. The results of this procedure last for decades, if not longer.
The deep plane facelift represents the latest and most effective technique for providing natural, long-lasting results.
