Lipolift
Description:
Lipolift is a technique associating face and neck lift, to tighten the face oval, the underlying muscles and extract skin excess, a liposuction of local fat excess which make the face look heavy (double chin, neck, cheeks as needed) and a lipolift (injecting the patient's fat) to reshape the cheek bones, correct a deep under eye circle, reshape the eyebrow or the temples, build a chin or plump the lips.
This association balances the face oval with the central part of the face for a natural and harmonious rejuvenation. Every patient over 40/45 years old could benefit from a lipolift.
Result
Swelling is more important than with a classic lift and lasts 3 weeks. The final result can be appreciated between 3 and 6 months after the operation. The result is stable: the injected fat does not resorb after the 3rd month following surgery.
