The face lift is an established method that allows to obtain a substantial rejuvenation of face. However, sometimes, the face is too “lean” because of hypotrophy tissue. The combination of lipofilling with the facelift allows to obtain a more “natural” result.
A similar technique can be used to treat the outcomes of mimic muscles paralysis. Currently, this method certainly represents the new frontier both for reconstructive and aesthetic treatments.
Indications of facial lipofilling: volume loss of soft tissue and loss of support.
Indications of face lifting: excess skin in the lower third of the face and surplus of cervical skin.
The combination of these techniques let avoid excessive stretching of tissues and their emptying compensation. That allow to treat areas hard to correct with a single technique.
