Technique

Par une ou deux petites incisions pratiquées dans les cheveux et dans les reliefs des oreilles si nécessaire je vais chercher le bord des tissus relâchés pour les fixer à leur emplacement naturel.

Procedure

The operation lasts about an hour and a half, but it is highly recommended that you stay at the clinic or medical office for at least four hours. Local anesthesia is performed while you are lying down; I then start the procedure with some music playing or while talking to you. You can feel my touch, but not the pain. Each side of the face is done symmetrically. Once the procedure is over, you can usually feel the stitches without any pain.

A headband-shaped band-aid is placed around your head and over your ears, and, after having a cup of tea at the clinic, you can hide it with a hat or a scarf to go home.

After the operation

You may experience slight discomfort for 6 to 10 days, during which you will have to limit your professional and social activity. You will also have to restrain from driving for two days and sleep on your back for a week. Swelling will be the most noticeable the day following the surgery, but it is generally mild and bearable. You may have bruises on the cheeks and the neck.

Results

Results are immediately visible, you can notice the firmness and oval shape of your face as soon as swelling reduces. The result is considered permanent after two months. SOme monir scars can remain red for a few months, but it is easy to hide them.
