Lifting of the lower third of the face
What is Lifting of the lower third of the face?
The mandible, sub-mandible, and neck are the areas of the human body where the first signs of aging appear. Because the muscle and connective tissue framework in these areas is very weak, and the skin itself is very dry and thin.A lower third facelift, in other words, a lower zone facelift, is performed to reverse such age changes and is performed as part of a deep facelift.

Indications for lower third facelift surgery include:• Excessive layers of fat forming the second layer;
• Loss of skin tone, formation of excess, and baldness ("turkey neck");
• Flattening of the neck-submandibular corner;
• The appearance of unaesthetic-looking lines on the neck;

Before lifting the lower part of the face, the patient should undergo a general examination to detect contraindications and determine the individual characteristics of the body. For preparation, all drugs affecting blood coagulation should be stopped at least 1 week before the intervention.The operation itself lasts 2.5 - 3.5 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. All sutures are placed in hidden areas, so they are not visible after the operation. The intervention is carried out in stationary conditions. If the results are positive and the patient's condition is stable, the patient is sent home the next day.

The recovery period after surgery includes:• During the first 7-10 days, it is necessary to wear a compressive dressing that effectively fixes the soft tissues in the operation area and prevents them from moving and stretching the stitches;
• Sutures are removed approximately 1 week after the intervention;
