WHAT IS A FACELIFT?

Facelift or Rhytidectomy is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the face by removing excess skin, tightening facial muscles, and restoring a youthful contour.

This surgery is ideal for those who wish to reduce the visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles, sagging, and loss of volume in the skin of the face and neck.

The procedure is performed through discreet incisions that are usually located in the hairlines and around the ears to minimize the visibility of scars. These incisions allow the surgeon to lift and reposition facial tissues, removing excess skin, and tightening underlying muscles to achieve a firmer, more rejuvenated appearance.

Benefits of a Facelift thanks to the Harmonious Scalpel technique, designed by Dr. Manuel Chacón:

  • Facial contour redefinition: A facelift restores and defines the contours of the face, improving the lines and structure of the face.
  • Wrinkle and sagging reduction: Excess skin is removed and facial muscles are tightened, significantly reducing wrinkles and sagging.
  • Long-lasting and natural results: Results are usually noticeable and natural, providing a rejuvenated appearance that can last for several years.
  • Discreet incisions: Incisions are made in strategic areas, like the hairlines and around the ears, to minimize the visibility of scars.
  • Quick recovery: With this technique, we focus on minimizing downtime for a quick return to your daily routine.
