This is the second time for a 48-year-old woman to undergo facelift surgery. 10 years ago, she had a relatively large amount of skin laxity due to a certain family inheritance. , I chose to have a facelift surgery at the local hospital, but due to the technical reasons of the facelift surgery at that time, the doctor tried his best, but only peeled the skin, and it had a certain impact on the earlobes.
At the age of 48, I have obvious skin laxity and want to have another real SMAS fascia lift surgery. In this way, the lifting time will be longer, and the youthful appearance of the face after surgery will be firmer and more natural.
Face-to-face analysis
After the skin on the woman’s face becomes loose and sagging, the nasolabial folds and the bags at the corners of the mouth are obvious. The amount of facial fat is evenly distributed and there is no need to add or subtract facial fat. The overall muscle mass of the face is moderate. Use your hands to gently push along the direction of the muscles and fat when they are young. There is a movement range of more than 2 to 3 centimeters.
The lady is very anxious to improve the current degree of facial sagging. Her facial foundation, from facial features to bone contours, is very good. She hopes to achieve facial wrinkle removal through surgery and achieve true rejuvenation from the SMAS layer of the fascia.

Designed fascial SMAS wrinkle removal surgery for women
Preoperative process
Starting from the preoperative physical examination, Good health and various indications determine that a woman is suitable for facelift surgery.
Determine the surgery date
Start preparing for the surgery in the morning according to the agreed date, from drawing lines, to anesthesia, to surgical incision, stripping, reduction, fixation, overall lifting, and then to Peel and sew appropriately. Then go to the operating room to observe, and the entire operation is completed. The total operation time is 6 hours (there has been an incision before, and there is some adhesion at the edge of the contour, so the operation time is slightly longer)
After 2 hours of general anesthesia, no water or food can be taken , pay attention to observe, two hours after the operation, it has completely returned to normal state.
The next step is to change the dressing and wait 7 days for the stitches to be removed.
The stitches were removed on the 7th day
In order to allow the wound and deeper layers to heal better, some of the stitches were removed on the 7th day. When the stitches were removed that day, the lady was very strong. Tell me how painful it is to have the stitches removed. Due to the deep peeling, there will be some bruises on the face. These are the recovery process after trauma and are normal.
Suture removal on the 10th day
As the wound heals further, today is the last time to remove the sutures, and all the sutures can be removed. Today, the lady said that it would be a little painful to remove the sutures, because as the sutures grow deeper into the skin, there will be a little pain during removal. This is normal. But after the lines were removed, people became more free.
After the stitches are removed today, you can go home to rest and recover.
Judging from the 10 days after surgery, the swelling in women decreased relatively quickly. With further recovery, the face's natural firmer shape will improve.
The doctor said: The fascia SMAS facelift surgery is the last surgery for face lifting. It can be repeated two to three times in a lifetime.
The real fascia SMAS facelift surgery The general maintenance time is about 8 to 10 years.
The sagging state of facial soft tissue will be different for each person. It is necessary to design the most suitable facial rejuvenation plan through face-to-face consultation. With targeted design, the most ideal rejuvenation state will be achieved after surgery. .
