Why Choose My Natural Facial Lifting Technique?

Facial lifting is the art of restoring youth without changing your essence. My technique focuses on returning the natural firmness and position of facial tissues, eliminating sagging without creating an artificial appearance.

It is not about tightening the skin, but repositioning anatomically the deep structures of the face to achieve natural and lasting rejuvenation that respects your unique expression.

Main Benefits:

  • Integral rejuvenation: Correction of facial sagging, neck and deep expression lines

  • Natural results: Deep lifting technique (Liftera) that preserves natural expressions without 'operated' appearance

  • Durable effect: Results that last 10-15 years with deep repositioning techniques

  • Invisible scars: Incisions strategically hidden in natural facial folds

Frequently Asked Questions about Facelift

With my technique (Liftera), the result is completely natural. I avoid the ‘operated’ appearance by:

My surgical philosophy:

  • Repositioning, not excessive tightening
  • Preservation of natural facial asymmetries
  • Respect for unique facial expressions
  • Deep work, not just superficial

Differences of my technique:

  • Elevation of deep muscular system
  • Redistribution of natural fat volumes
  • Hidden incisions in anatomical folds
  • Appropriate tension without distortion

The goal is that people notice you look younger and more rested, not that you had surgery.

A well-executed facelift can subtract 10-15 apparent years, but this varies according to:

Factors that influence:

  • Age at the time of surgery
  • Degree of previous aging
  • Skin quality
  • Lifestyle post-surgery

Typical results:

  • 40-50 years: 8-12 years of rejuvenation
  • 50-60 years: 10-15 years less apparent
  • 60+ years: 12-18 years of improvement

Important: The goal is not to drastically change your apparent age, but to return you to a younger and fresher version of yourself.

Facelift results last 10-15 years on average, but depends on several factors:

Duration by technique:

  • Mini-lift: 5-8 years
  • Mid-face lift: 8-12 years
  • Complete Liftera lift: 12-18 years

Factors that prolong results:

  • Constant skin care
  • Rigorous sun protection
  • Healthy lifestyle
  • Maintenance treatments

Aging continues after the lift, but from a “younger” base, you will always look better than if you hadn’t had surgery.

Scars are strategically hidden and become practically imperceptible:

Incision locations:

  • Hairline (hidden by hair)
  • Natural fold in front of ear
  • Behind ear (invisible)
  • Posterior hairline

Scar evolution:

  • 1-3 months: Pink lines, easy to cover with makeup
  • 6-12 months: Progressively fade and flatten
  • 12+ months: Very faint lines, practically invisible

Special care with scar creams and sun protection optimize the final result.

Yes, I frequently combine lifting with other procedures to optimize rejuvenation and reduce total recovery time. Common combinations include:

  • Lifting + Blepharoplasty (eyelids)
  • Lifting + Facial lipofilling (volume restoration)
  • Lifting + Rhinoplasty (total facial harmony)
  • Lifting + Laser treatments (skin texture)

Advantages of combining:

  • Single recovery
  • Total cost optimization
  • More integral result
  • Saved total time

Individual evaluation determines what combinations are safe and appropriate for each patient.

There is no specific age, but aging signs that indicate the appropriate time:

Indicators for lifting:

  • Notable facial sagging
  • Deep folds (nasolabial, marionette)
  • Loss of mandibular definition
  • Neck with bands or sagging

Typical age ranges:

  • 40-50 years: Preventive mini-lift
  • 50-60 years: Mid or complete lift
  • 60+ years: Complete lift with complementary procedures

Philosophy: “It is better to operate when needed, not by age. Some people need lifting at 45, others can wait until 65.”
