Cheek And Eyebrow Lifting Surgeries
Middle face means cheeks and cheekbones. If you observe little babies you can see that their cheeks are full and tight. These full and tight cheeks mean youthfulness. However, cheeks droop down by the effect of gravity and senescence. That is this pendency can be obvious up to indication of the cheekbones. Besides these tissues that are drooped forms a repletion downwards, at the level of mouth. In a young and dynamic face it needs to be a protrusion in the cheekbones and a sag around the mouth. You can assume it like a pear on its stalk. With senescence (sometimes in young people as genetic) this pear is like conversely standing. Namely the lower part got plump by the upper tissues to accumulate down.
WHAT IS DONE IN THE SURGERY
The operation has so much technical details. If I explain it simply, what is done is to upside down the pear. By lifting up the tissues that drooped down the repletion on cheekbones maintained again. This also decreases the largeness in the lower part and face form changes.
No seams left because the cuts are done only inside the mouth, at the part where the upper lip ends and in the hairy skin. By cameras and special tools the muscles, fat packages and membranes are prepared one by one and moved up where they belonged to at the 20s. Everything is done deep down and can be seen just by cameras.
TIPS
If you lift your cheeks up with your hands while looking in the mirror, you trick yourself. By this act you stretch your complexion also. Whereas the endoscopic surgery is performed deep down and does not stretch the complexion that much. Just try to think that the repletion down is going to replace to upper parts. There are no hand acts which can exactly indicate the effect of this surgery.
If you are more than 50 years old I recommend you to have classical face stretching surgery with together with this surgery. After the endoscopic surgery that is performed solitary, the overmuch skin and the pendency will be kept.
The effect of this surgery lasts very long. The cheeks will continue to droop but do not afraid that they are going to be like they use to be.
WHAT IS EXPECTED AFTER THE SURGERY
After this surgery the first change which you will notice in your face will be tumescence. Because this is not an open surgery there is no suture on the surface but it causes tumescence because it is a surgery which is performed in the deep parts. This is not n aching surgery. Your head will be upright while sleeping for the first days and you will apply ice often.
To be back at work is generally possible at the end of the 3rd week.
The cheekbones appear more tumid for the first weeks. Usually in the 2nd or 3rd week you see that the edema goes off and you will take it at ease.
