For those who are around 40 years old and feel they are in an “awkward period”, they are a little too old for thread sculpting and not old enough for a facelift, in fact you can consider a minimally invasive face lift. She is about the same age as you, let’s learn more about her facial anti-aging process. Pre-operative request: I feel that my nasolabial folds are very deep, and the meat on both sides of my cheeks are very loose and drooping, so my face looks shapeless from the side. I hoped that the lines would fade and my face would become tighter after surgery. Pre-operative concerns: 1. I was worried that the incision would be obvious, and I was worried that it would leave scars, and I was also afraid that the surgery would be painful; 2. I was worried that my face would become unnatural after the surgery; 3. I was worried that my face would be too swollen to see others after the surgery, and that the recovery period would be too long. After the post-operative effect simulation and consultation, we decided to make a linear incision of about 1.5~2 in the temporal region, bilaterally (with her hairstyle, the incision is not visible at all). To enhance the lifting effect of the lower part, an incision will be made in front of the ear. After stripping, a biodegradable lift band will be put in and then fixed. Post-operative recovery: “This is the photo 27 days after the surgery, the swelling of my face has basically gone down. It’s a lie to say that it doesn’t hurt after surgery, mainly because of the swelling, it’s a vague pain, but overall it’s okay, it’s within the tolerable range, it’s definitely not as painful as having a baby. When I was in the swelling period, I was also very frantic, I felt that I was too ugly to see others. “The incision in front of the ear was made very concealed, and after 2 weeks I could cover it up with concealer, it was not as bad as I thought before.” “It’s now 47 days and the lines on my face have not come back out, my skin is still firm and the flesh has not fallen off. I feel that the biggest change is not in my appearance, but in my mentality, people are getting more confident, and they have become love to dress up, psychologically they are much younger, and people are more cheerful.” “It’s been more than 2 months, I’m quite satisfied with this state, and the incision in front of my ear is not too obvious.
