Face Lift

Who it is for

• You want to improve wrinkles across your whole face
• Your cheeks and jaw sag noticeably, and your nasolabial folds stand out
• You want a change that lasts a long time
• Aging has progressed to the point where a thread lift is unlikely to improve your wrinkles

What is a face lift?

This surgery lifts skin and muscle that have sagged with age. Through an incision in front of the ear, we lift and reshape not only the loose skin but also the muscle layer that has dropped.

Unlike methods that only pull the skin, it can make a difference even to deep facial wrinkles.

What matters in a KOKO face lift

The result depends on where you lift, and in which direction.

We assess the right lifting points for each person and set a suitable direction of pull. This helps keep the face from looking unnatural after surgery.

How the surgery is done

Surgery follows these steps.

• An incision is made along the front of the ear.
• The skin (skin flap) is lifted away from the incision.
• The SMAS layer is lifted and stitched in place.
• The skin is pulled up, and the excess is trimmed along the incision line.
• The incision is closed with stitches.

Aftercare

Please take care of the following after surgery.

• If you have swelling or pain, cool the area with a cold pack. From the third day after surgery, warm packs help recovery.
• For 4 days after surgery, keep your head higher than your heart when you sleep. This helps swelling go down.
• Alcohol and smoking slow wound healing. Avoid both for at least 4 weeks after surgery.
• For 4 weeks after surgery, sleep on your back rather than on your side.
• Avoid jogging, swimming and meridian massage for 6 weeks after surgery.
• Plenty of rest and vitamin C support collagen renewal and help your recovery.
