Facelift - SMASS

Description of Facelift abroad in Prague, Czech Republic:

It is a natural manifestation of the aging process that the skin slackens and hangs, and wrinkles are formed on the face. The time when these manifestations become apparent is individual, within thirty and fifty years of age. It depends, among others, on the type of the skin, the genes, the occupation, the solar radiation effects. The manifestations of aging on the face can be reduced by a plastic surgery operation, professionally called face lifting (or Facelift, with its variation Facelift SMASS).

The Facelift cosmetic surgery abroad in the Czech Republic is carried out under a combination of local anaesthesia and general intravenous anaesthesia. The surgical incision leads from the hairy part of the temporal bone down past the earlobe, and continues to the crease behind the auricle. The scar resulting after Facelift in Prague, in case of fine healing, is then only noticeable as a discreet line in the area of the temporal bone and behind the auricle. We also carry out, almost on regular basis, the SMASS lifting (Facelift SMASS abroad in Prague), pulling the deeper layers under the skin, which allows for attaining a better lifting of the skin and a more permanent effect.
