As the years go by, it is natural for the skin on the face and neck to show signs of aging, such as sagging, deep wrinkles and loss of facial contour. For those looking for facial rejuvenation in Maringá in a safe and effective way, the facelift (or rhytidoplasty) is one of the most sought after solutions.

The facelift is a facial plastic surgery capable of offering lasting results, restoring striking features and providing a younger, more revitalized appearance. Dr. Bener Milani is a specialist in plastic surgery in Maringá, focusing on the most advanced facial rejuvenation techniques.

What is a Facelift (Rhytidoplasty) and what is its objective?

The facelift, also called rhytidoplasty, is a plastic surgery that aims to reposition deep tissues of the face, remove excess skin and smooth out furrows and wrinkles. The result is a face with more defined contours and a naturally rejuvenated appearance.

In Maringá, many patients resort to facelifts to treat facial sagging and loss of the jaw line, significantly improving the appearance of the neck and lower part of the face. The procedure goes beyond aesthetics: it is about recovering self-esteem and well-being.

Who can have a Facelift? Indications and ideal age range

The facelift is recommended for men and women who show visible signs of facial aging, such as:

1. Sagging on the face and neck;
2. Loss of definition in the jaw line ("double chin");
3. Deep furrows on the cheeks (“Chinese mustache”) and around the mouth (“marionette lines”).

There is no fixed age to perform the surgery, but generally patients between 40 and 60 years old with reasonable skin elasticity get the best results. It is essential to undergo an evaluation with an experienced plastic surgeon in Maringá to define the best treatment plan.

Facelift vs. other treatments: What are the differences?

The question often arises: facelift or less invasive procedures? Understand the main differences:

1. Facelift (Complete Rhytidectomy): Recommended for advanced cases of sagging, treats deep structures and provides longer-lasting and complete rejuvenation.
2. Mini-Facelift: Less invasive version of the face lift, ideal for moderate sagging. Recovery is usually faster, but the scope of results is more limited.
3. Fillings: Non-surgical procedures, with a temporary effect. They are useful for treating fine wrinkles, repositioning volume and complementing results, but they do not replace the facelift.

For those looking for a facelift in Maringá with real structural transformation, the facelift is the most effective procedure.

How is the facelift performed with Dr. Bener Milani?

The facelift is performed under anesthesia (general or sedation deep), in a hospital environment. The incisions are made in strategic areas — close to the hairline and around the ears — so that they remain discreet after recovery.

During the procedure, Dr. Bener Milani repositions the deep tissues (SMAS), removes excess skin and redesigns the facial contour in a personalized way. Each surgery is planned according to the patient's unique characteristics.

Choosing a plastic surgeon in Maringá with proven experience in facial surgery is essential to achieve natural and harmonious results.

Post-Operative: Recovery and care with the Facelift

Recovery time varies according to the body and the extent of the procedure, but generally involves:

1. Relative rest in the first few weeks;
2. Use of bandages and cold compresses;
3. Lymphatic drainage and medical monitoring;
4. Avoid direct sun exposure;
5. Gradual return to activities in 2 to 4 weeks.

Dr. Bener Milani carries out strict monitoring to ensure a smooth and safe recovery. The final result is observed after complete reduction of swelling, over a few months.
