Anesthesia
The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
Incisions
Incisions are usually made along the hairline, in front of and behind the ears, and sometimes under the chin. These incisions are hidden within natural folds or the hairline to minimize visible scarring.
Muscle and Skin Manipulation
Entering through the incisions, subcutaneous fat tissues and muscles are lifted and reshaped. Excess skin and fat tissue are removed and sagging muscle structures are tightened.
Deep Tissue Transfer
Deep tissue layers are repositioned to define facial contours and achieve a more youthful appearance.
Stitches
The incisions are carefully closed and stitched.
Recovery Process
First Days
Swelling, bruising, and mild pain may occur during the first few days. Cold compresses and keeping the head elevated can alleviate these symptoms.
First Week
Stitches are usually removed within 5-10 days. Pain can be managed with painkillers.
2-4 Weeks
Swelling and bruising significantly decrease. Heavy activities should be avoided during this period.
1-3 Months
Most patients can return to work and resume normal activities within 2-4 weeks after surgery. However, full recovery may take several months.
Long-Term Care
Scars will fade over time and results will become more prominent. Good skincare and sun protection will help maintain long-term results.
