BEFORE THE CONSULTATION
BEFORE THE CONSULTATION
The best thing to do in preparation for the pre-operative consultation is to try to visualize how your face has changed over the years. How it was before. How it is now. And how you would like it to be tomorrow thanks to facial rejuvenation.
It would greatly facilitate this task to observe photos of yourself from younger years and compare them to what you see in the mirror now.
THE CONSULTATION
THE CONSULTATION
In the first part of this consultation, I will want to listen to you. And while doing so, I will observe the shape of your face and neck, making an initial assessment of your skin, in view of the facelift procedure.
I will then proceed to determine its elasticity and consistency. And its excess.
The surgery will then be explained to you in detail with reference to your needs.

Undergoing blood tests and an electrocardiogram is what you'll need to take care of at this moment. It is also the time to clarify any last remaining doubts

At this point, you are well aware of how the incisions around the ear will be made and why these will be minimally visible.
You also understand how the repositioning of the deep and superficial tissues will be done.
I will also talk to you about the possibility of a Mini facelift: a modest alternative, but with some specific indications.

The scars are generally very minimally visible.
You will return to a social life setting in 2 weeks, by which time most of the bruising will have resolved.
For sports, I recommend at least 4 weeks of rest.
