How Appearance Affects Inner Confidence
Improving appearance directly reflects on a person’s inner energy and helps them feel confident and self-assured. Dr. Neophytos Dimitriadis talks about facelifting and new techniques that reduce the signs of aging, restore facial firmness, and at the same time provide a completely natural and subtle aesthetic result.
What Is a Facelift and What Changes on the Face?
A facelift restores the youthful shape of the face. It does not correct skin tone or texture, the eyes, nose, or eyelids — other techniques are used for those areas. Most facelifts focus on the mid and lower face, but not the forehead. The forehead is corrected with another surgical procedure called a brow lift. One of the key factors in a successful facelift is restoring facial volume. Along with a facelift, volume enhancement is often performed, especially in the cheekbone area, using the patient’s own fat, which gives the skin firmness.
What New Facelift Techniques Exist?
Modern medicine focuses on minimally invasive procedures. This also applies to facial aesthetic surgery: new facelift techniques involve smaller procedures under local or partial anesthesia, allowing for faster recovery and a quicker return to everyday life.
New Style Lift — A New and Effective Technique
New Style Lift is an innovative method that corrects the lower face and neck, while incisions are limited to areas behind or inside the ears, significantly reducing the risk of visible scars. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, can be done directly in the doctor’s office, lasts about 90 minutes, recovery takes approximately one week, and the patient returns home the same day. The method targets the deep facial tissues, tightening the fascia beneath the skin and restoring the face’s original shape while eliminating signs of aging — without the need for extensive surgery with large incisions and risks of skin necrosis. It is a modern, minimally invasive technique with excellent results.
At What Age Is a Facelift Recommended
Even at a younger age, because healing processes are easier in young and healthy individuals and the risk of complications is minimal. The less skin sagging there is, the smaller the procedure and the lower the cost. In younger men and women, the face regains its youthful appearance and the results last longer. The optimal age for surgery is 45–55 years old.
Which Areas Does New Style Lift Treat
The method mainly removes excess skin under the chin and on the neck, improving skin elasticity by removing excess tissue and making the face firmer and younger-looking. It restores the youthful shape of the face and, when combined with volume restoration (using fat injections into the mid-face area), provides a fresh and youthful appearance.
How Long Do Facelift Results Last?
A facelift primarily restores facial tissues to a more youthful state. Although aging cannot be stopped, the patient continues aging from an improved starting point. The duration of the effect depends on many factors: genetics, environment, sun exposure, bone structure (micrognathia, retrognathia, etc.). In younger patients, the effect can last more than 10 years, while in older patients it lasts around 5 years, after which another procedure may be required.
Are There Any Risks? What Should Be Considered After Surgery
Such procedures are considered very safe, with minimal complications. Of course, any surgical intervention carries certain risks, which should be understood in advance. After surgery, swelling may persist for about a week, so rest is recommended.
Can Techniques Be Combined for Better Results
To achieve maximum effect, it is recommended to combine New Style Lift with fat injections to restore volume, especially in the cheek area. The procedure lasts 60–90 minutes, is performed under local anesthesia, and corrects both the lower face and neck, effectively eliminating skin laxity. It is also often combined with laser treatments, which help improve skin quality damaged by sun exposure, smoking, and other external factors.
