CIRCULAR FACE LIFTING

Any person not dependently on mood or other circumstances, daily looks in a mirror and more often, first of all examining the face and then other parts of the body. There are concepts «age changes of the face» or «signs of aging of the face», discontent with which leads the person to the cosmetic surgeon. Proceeding from these concepts, many people are inclined to opinion that necessity of operation on the face arises by 40-50 years. Basing on the experience we can assert that this necessity can arise earlier as age face changes are connected not only with the number of lived years, but somewhat with a way of life (field way of life, a lot of time spends on the sun, on a beach etc.)

WHAT IS THE CIRCULAR FACE LIFTING?

Among interested people there is such definition as «a circular face lifting». From this name more often the majority of people have wrong idea, considering they "pull" all the face then all wrinkles disappear. The structure of a human head is arranged in the way that there is a need in forces of tension going divergently so that "to lengthen, straighten" wrinkles on the face. This requires the necessity of independent from each other lines of cuts which located in different anatomic areas. The operation, performed by all surgeons in the world for today is more known as «circular lifting»,gains the purpose to influence on middle and bottom third of the face(straightens wrinkles of cheeks, jaw bodies of nose- lip folds and folds of mouth corner), and also on the top third of neck (elimination of sagging chin and flabbiness of skin on the neck). On the basis of the above-stated, in our opinion, it is more correct term of foreign experts "face lift" i.e. raising of the face.
