1. What is wrinkle removal surgery

Wrinkle removal surgery is necessary to maintain youthfulness and beauty. It is a surgery designed for aging changes in the face and neck to rejuvenate the face and neck. These include forehead rhytidectomy, which mainly removes forehead wrinkles and improves the appearance of the eyebrows and eyes, and mid- and lower-face rhytidectomy, which shallows the nasolabial folds and significantly improves the appearance of the cheek and mandibular margins. Neck wrinkle removal and cheek wrinkle removal are performed at the same time, which has good results for people with neck wrinkles and sagging skin.

Except for a small section in front and below the ears, the incisions for wrinkle removal surgery are basically under the scalp, which can be covered by hair and cannot be seen by others. Even the part in front of the ear is not easily visible after good suturing and complete healing. The original length of the hair can still be retained during the operation, and the operation will not affect hair growth.

Any surgery inevitably involves certain risks. Improper wrinkle removal surgery may damage the facial nerve, causing mouth deformation, crookedness and other complications. Therefore, it is necessary to find an experienced plastic surgeon for surgery. Generally speaking, the more prominent the manifestations of facial aging before surgery, the greater the difference before and after surgery, and the more obvious the contrast. In addition, those with better skin elasticity will appear younger after surgery.

2. The difference between wrinkle removal and facelift

Most people are familiar with the term "wrinkle removal", but are somewhat unfamiliar with "facelift". In fact, these two concepts are both related and different. The difference between wrinkle removal and facelift is that the former is a professional term and the latter is an image noun. What's more important is that the contents of the two are different: wrinkle removal includes traditional and modern wrinkle removal techniques, while facelift only represents the original, traditional wrinkle removal surgery method.

3. Preparation before wrinkle removal

Wrinkles can only be removed by plastic surgery. Wrinkles make you look younger, but they cannot change the natural aging process of your skin, and they are not a permanent solution. Expectations for surgical results should not be too high.

If you decide to undergo surgery, you must choose a plastic and cosmetic surgeon with extensive experience and formal training. You must not blindly seek medical treatment, and you must explain your views and requirements to the doctor, understand and consult about the surgical situation, and try to communicate with the doctor and reach a consensus on your own ideas. This will enhance your confidence and trust in the doctor, which will also contribute to the success of the surgery.

Before deciding to have surgery, you should make a rough assessment of your health status. Such as whether there is high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, whether the liver and kidney functions are normal, whether the lungs are normal, whether there are infectious diseases, whether there is a history of blood diseases and allergies, whether there is scar hyperplasia, and whether there are trauma and injuries in the surgical area. Surgery history, tolerance for surgery, etc. If you suffer from the above diseases, you should first treat the disease and explain it to the plastic surgeon, who will decide whether surgery can be performed to prevent unnecessary accidents.

You should adjust your mentality and mental condition before surgery. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the face and scalp to prevent skin infections and skin diseases such as folliculitis. Wash your hair 3 days before surgery and soak it in 1:5000 chlorhexidine solution twice a day. You can wear a wig after surgery to reduce the possibility of postoperative infection. In order to reduce the occurrence of ecchymosis and hematoma, aspirin drugs were stopped 4 weeks before surgery, and vitamin E, salvia miltiorrhiza and other drugs were stopped 2 weeks before surgery. Women should calculate their menstrual cycles and postpone surgery during and around the menstrual period.
