What is total rhytidectomy?
Total rhytidectomy is a method of cosmetic surgery, which tightens the loose skin on the face or face and neck, removes excess skin, and flattens wrinkles. Total wrinkle removal, that is, skin tension, commonly known as face lifting, also known as "rejuvenation", because it can make people young and reproduce beauty. Its principle is to use cosmetic surgery to tighten the loose skin on the face or face and neck, remove excess skin, and thus flatten wrinkles. Because the surgical incision covers the face and leaves no scar, it can not only make people look brand-new after operation, but also make people feel relieved and satisfied psychologically. Rhytidectomy can be divided into total rhytidectomy, face and neck rhytidectomy, forehead rhytidectomy, temporal rhytidectomy and frontotemporal rhytidectomy according to the scope of operation. Among them, total rhytidectomy has the widest scope, involving all areas of the face and neck, which tightens the sagging skin of the whole face and neck. Facial and neck rhytidectomy does not involve the forehead, and can correct three obvious signs of facial aging, namely, deep nasolabial groove, sagging mandibular skin, neck wrinkles and fat accumulation. Frontal rhytidectomy and temporal rhytidectomy are limited to frontal rhytidectomy and temporal rhytidectomy respectively. Frontal rhytidectomy can correct deep horizontal wrinkles on forehead and vertical wrinkles between eyebrows, while temporal rhytidectomy has a good effect on correcting obvious wrinkles in outer corner of eyes. If the patient has these cosmetic defects at the same time, frontotemporal rhytidectomy can be done. Because the total rhytidectomy is harmful, it is generally not recommended to do it at one time, and it is safer to do it several times. The appearance after wrinkle removal can give people the feeling that 10- 20 years younger. The surgical effect can last for 5-7 years or longer. Familial hereditary premature aging, weather-beaten living environment and severe emaciation caused by diseases are not conducive to the maintenance of postoperative results. If you can keep healthy and feel comfortable after operation, avoid using too many expressions that are easy to cause wrinkles, such as frowning and smoking, and strengthen the nutrition and protection of local skin, it will help to maintain the surgical effect. Hua Fu Hospital has been adhering to the people-oriented belief for a long time, and regards "every operation is a masterpiece" as a lofty corporate culture and persistent corporate goal.
