The One Stitch Face Lift
If you’re searching for the perfect gift for father day for the “daddy” who has everything but needs some TLC in the anti-ageing department Antonia Mariconda suggests an ideal solution for the discerning gentleman who wants to look and feel his best…
Given the wind-tunnel results of some facelift surgery procedures as seen on the likes of some celebrities such as Mickey Rourke not to mention the prospect of a general anaesthetic, scars and months of recovery, it’s not surprising that a full-on facelift is diminishing in popularity and some people are now favoring less invasive forms of turning back to clock.
With male cosmetic surgery procedures on the rise many men are now considering more than ever effective solutions for facial rejuvenation this procedure seems perfect, as men are not the biggest fans of looking as if you’ve had serious work.
For a while it seemed as if fillers and Botox would be the secret of stealth rejuvenation, but there are occasions when even the best cosmetic injectable fillers can’t defy the law of gravity and ageing. So the facelift has been fighting back. But this time it’s different.
The ‘One-Stitch Facelift’ is a minimally invasive, super-sneaky way to lift cheeks and jowls, reduce double chins and tighten saggy necks. It has gained immense popularity as it is performed under local anaesthetic and involves having just one stitch on each side of the head, buried in the hair. The idea for the procedure was prompted by an old Hollywood trick in which actors and actresses used tape to pull slackened skin upward, taking great pains to hide the tape with hair or wigs, the concept was refined and developed into a cosmetic surgery procedure that would accomplish the feat more permanently.
I have seen three patients that have had the one stitch face lift and I have to admit the results look natural. If you place your fingers on your cheeks and pull up, you can get an idea of what the effect will be.
My research from several surgeons indicates that the procedure is ideal for men and women from around 40 onwards, who don’t need the full works such as conventional facelift, but feel their sagging skin is making their face look tired and old.
Benefits of a one sitch face lift include reduced trauma to the face and significantly less recovery time. Many patients go back to work within 48 hours, Swelling is minimal, and there is little bruising. The only area that shows any sign of surgery is the sideburn, and in a week or two it will be almost imperceptible.
With all Cosmetic surgery procedures I highly recommend that you see the advice of a reputable cosmetic surgeon.
