No more devastating facelift

The famous facelift, which has wreaked havoc with some stars of the big screen, hardly exists any more. From now on, the priority of his patients, who are 85% women, is that the effect of the facelift be natural. "We do a facial analysis, static and dynamic. Then, we make a personalized treatment plan. The goal is to get the best version of ourselves", explains the surgeon at the microphone of Europe 1. "Before, we performed facelifts that mainly treated the skin. So we could have a pulled, frozen appearance, with a flattened face, especially if we did several. But now, we will take all the components of aging in load for a natural and harmonious result.We are going to use several tools which will work in synergy and each time we will use the minimum necessary dose of each tool. "

One of these tools is hyaluronic acid, which is very useful for "providing support, support for the face", he continues.

What does the gentle facelift consist of?

"It is a facelift that will be better experienced by patients because we will have less scars, less detachment and a recovery phase that will be shortened, largely thanks to this synergy of treatments. But if the relaxation is more important, we go to the operating room, because the cervico-facial lifting remains the intervention of reference ".

Fat, a "magic" material

Some facelifts can also involve threads that the surgeon places under the skin. These can include hyaluronic acid and improve the appearance of the skin. "We have more than forty years of experience on these threads. They are threads made of materials derived from sugars, so they will be absorbed quickly. These threads are increasingly thin and more and more effective. They allow us to treat small releases if the patient does not feel ready for a surgical intervention ", explains Olivier Claude.

Now, surgeons also use fat to improve the appearance of the face.

"It is a fantastic tool", abounds the specialist at the microphone of Europe 1, who uses it in almost all his procedures for the face.

"It makes it possible to make very fine fillings, for example at the level of dark circles. It is a tool that provides stem cells and growth factors, which will improve the appearance of the skin. It is a unique product. little magic. It's so powerful that we call this stage the regenerative part: we improve the quality of the tissues. "

Patients receive their own fat, which also limits the risk of rejection.
