Facelift is the best plastic surgery procedure for wrinkle removal

Facelift is an aesthetic surgery specialized in returning facial fat pads to their original level and/or location, as well as rejuvenating facial lines and expression. 

In this surgery for wrinkle removal a full incision is made inside the scalp from the temporal area in front of the ears, behind the tragus and behind the ears.

In a facelift, several techniques are combined, such as blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, bichectomy and other procedures that rejuvenate the face. That is why a surgery for wrinkle removal lasts about four hours. 

How do you know if you are a candidate for a facelift?

If you are thinking of removing wrinkles from your face and want to know if you are a candidate for a facelift, you should consider the following: 

• You must be within your ideal weight, since the results of the surgery may be influenced by a radical change in weight. 
• It is important not to be hypertensive, since blood pressure must not raise during surgery. 
• Since the procedure requires a wide incision, the patient must have a good healing condition.

It is also necessary to take into account that if you undergo this surgery, you must stop smoking permanently, as well as it is essential not to be exposed to the sun during the recovery period.
