Understand how lifting is done
1 – What is a lifting and how is it done?
Lifiting is an aesthetic surgery that aims to suspend some region of the body, to reverse the marks of age. The word derives from the English lift, which in Portuguese means “to lift”. Therefore, the method helps to place the tissues in their original places.
When looking for a doctor, the patient first needs to explain the reasons why she wants to have surgery. Next, the doctor will perform an external physical examination and check-up. This way, he will be able to assess your health status. Then, after that, the professional can conclude whether surgical intervention can be performed.
If the patient is suitable, surgery will be scheduled. It is important to highlight that the procedure must be carried out in a hospital. In some cases there is a need to use general anesthesia, but nothing major. The surgery should last an average of 2 to 4 hours.
2 – Contraindications
Lifting cannot be performed on patients who have health problems and are not receiving adequate treatment. Furthermore, people with very deep wrinkles, folds and expression marks should not undergo the procedure.
Another contraindication is for people who have loose skin over their eyes, very thin cheeks or neck and who have an accumulation of fat and sagging skin on the neck. In these cases, look for another method or procedure that better suits your condition.
3 – Necessary care
After surgery, the patient needs to remain at rest for approximately 14 to 21 days. The use of anti-inflammatories is recommended in case of pain. During the recovery period, your diet needs to be balanced and physical activities are not recommended in the meantime. Furthermore, it is also recommended not to expose excessively to the sun for 2 months after surgery.
