Facial Lifting
Mammary Prosthesis 
For whom this is prescribed
Rhytidoplasty facial lifting is one the surgeries most sought by patients in the plastic surgeon´s office. It is a procedure that allows for quite natural results and facial rejuvenescence, as far as surgeon and patient discuss in details the possibilities of the results, during the pre-operatory.
Plastic surgery aims at improving flaccidity aspects, wrinkles, sulcus, etc . offering rejuvenation to the face. "It delays, but does not interrupt the evolution process of the organism".
In some cases, after a given period, the skin of the inferior eyelid must be corrected again (which is loose).
Facial lifting is a plastic surgery prescribed for people over 45 years of age, who have flaccidity, wrinkles and excess of skin on the face.
Hospitalisation Period
The length of hospitalisation for a facial rejuvenation plastic surgery is from 12-24 hours and surgery lasts about 3 hours.
Anaesthesia
Local anaesthesia and sedation are used.
Scars
Scars will be permanent, although they become less and less visible as time goes by.
While waiting for this to occur, cosmetic resources like make-up and adequate hair-do disguise perfectly the inconvenience brought up by recent scars. Besides, each patient behaves differently in relation to the evolution of the scars. By taking due care, they may make them imperceptible.
Despite previous warnings, many patients tend to forget the details they are told during the initial consultation and start worrying specifically about the present scars in the immediate post-operatory period and during recovery.
Surgical complications
Surgical complications in facial lifting may be avoided by a planned pre-operatory. Edemas and blueness are common and recede in 20 days.
Post-operatory cares
Avoid sun for 30 days, minimum.
Use sunblock up to six months after the surgery.
