How to lift sagging face with surgery

A sagging face will reduce points for women. If women do not pay attention to maintenance after the age of 25, it is easy to cause sagging facial skin. There are many reasons for sagging in women's faces, such as irregular skin nutrition or overnutrition, which will cause insufficient skin elasticity and cause sagging. So how can a sagging face be surgically lifted? Here are the best methods for a face lift.

How to lift sagging face

Laser wrinkle removal and lifting

The more popular laser face lifting procedures include Thermage and ultrasonic scalpel. The working principle of laser face lifting and wrinkle removal is to stimulate the damaged collagen layer to produce new collagen, thereby filling the wrinkles on the skin due to the reduction of collagen. Another function is to heat the dermis or fascia tissue, using the body's own repair function to stimulate tissue regeneration and reconstruction, causing the deep skin to contract, further tightening facial muscles and fat, and achieving the effect of removing or reducing wrinkles and lifting to a certain extent.

Suitable for people: Suitable for people who are in good physical condition but have symptoms of sagging skin and wrinkles. In terms of age groups, those aged 40 to 60 can undergo large-scale laser wrinkle removal and lifting, and those aged 30 to 40 can undergo small-scale local wrinkle removal and lifting (such as around the eye sockets and corners of the mouth).

Advantages of laser wrinkle lifting

Laser wrinkle removal and lifting utilizes the property of dermal collagen to shrink immediately when exposed to high temperatures. Therefore, after treating sagging skin, you can feel the skin tightening effect. In addition, laser wrinkle removal and lifting is a photoelectric treatment for the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and will not cause sequelae such as infection, scarring and pigmentation after treatment.

Disadvantages of laser wrinkle lifting

Laser wrinkle removal and lifting has limited effect on the symptoms of facial sagging, and generally continuous treatment is required to maintain the effect of face lifting. The real ultrasonic knife treatment in laser wrinkle removal and lifting is expensive, and people who are not well-off may not be able to afford the high cost of treatment.

Radiofrequency face lift

Radiofrequency skin tightening is also a common face lifting procedure. Its lifting principle is to use high-frequency radio waves to enter the subcutaneous tissue to generate heat energy, stimulate the dermis to secrete more new collagen to fill the pores of lost collagen, increase the thickness and density of the skin's dermis, fill facial wrinkles, and restore skin elasticity and luster.

Suitable for people: People with excess fat on the face, neck and upper and lower eyelids, loose skin, and people with large facial pores can also achieve smooth skin through radio wave skin tightening.

Advantages of radiofrequency skin lifting

The treatment time is relatively short and no wounds will be produced. Generally, you can go back to work the next day after treatment. In addition, the skin will not be heated during treatment and will not be damaged.

Disadvantages of Radiofrequency Skin Lifting

The cost is relatively high, and multiple treatments are required to achieve the desired effect. The treatment effect is poor for older people.

Traditional face lift

The traditional facelift method is to first cut the scalp and perform supraperiosteal or subperiosteal dissection to destroy the muscles that cause wrinkles, then tighten the loose forehead skin and finally suture the wound. This method is an old type of face lift. Plastic surgeons now rarely perform this type of face lift and have replaced it with endoscopic face lifts that are safer and easier to perform.

Suitable for: This method is suitable for older people with severely loose skin. For people under 30 years old, the risks and damage caused by facelifts are relatively high. It is recommended that you do not use facelifts if you can use laser wrinkle removal and thread lifts.

Advantages of a traditional face lift

This type of face lift can improve forehead wrinkles, frown lines above the eyes, and crow's feet outside the eyes, visually lifting the skin.

Disadvantages of a face lift

The biggest disadvantages of traditional facelift surgery are long and obvious scars and long-term scalp numbness as a sequelae.

Endoscopic face lift

Endoscopic facelift, also known as "mini facelift" surgery, is also a common face lift procedure. The effect of endoscopic facelift is not inferior to that of traditional facelift, but the wound is much smaller. After about three to six months, there is almost no trace, and there is no sequelae of scalp numbness. Compared with traditional facelift, it is a better facelift.

Suitable for: People who are older, have severely sagging facial skin and have an urgent need for facial lifting.

Advantages of an endoscopic facelift

This face lift can improve not only the forehead and eye wrinkles, but also the nasolabial folds and slight eye bags, making the patient look more youthful.

Disadvantages of an endoscopic facelift

Like facelift, facelift is also a facelift surgery. If the doctor makes a bad incision angle and the patient does not pay attention to post-operative care, it will leave obvious scars.

Facial Thread Lift

Facial thread lifting is a procedure that involves injecting absorbable protein threads into the skin fascia layer. The threads are then implanted between the dermis and subcutaneous tissue in a staggered manner according to the direction of the individual's skin aging lines, allowing the stiff and sagging muscle tissue to be rebuilt. The skin tissue then produces collagen, forming a new fixation band that continues to lift the tissue.

Suitable for people: This facial thread lift is suitable for people with frown lines, sacral lines, and neck wrinkles. It is also suitable for people who want to improve wrinkles and enhance skin elasticity. Pros and cons of facial thread lift

Advantages of Face Thread Lift

The operation is relatively simple and the damage to skin tissue is much less than that of a facelift.

Disadvantages of a thread lift

The effects of a thread lift are short-lived and usually require another thread lift two years later to consolidate the results. In addition, like traditional facelifts, facial thread lifts may cause bleeding and infection.
