The elasticity of the skin is reduced by aging, so
the effects of gravity are easier to spot. These changes
can also be seen on one's face, but as we cannot hide
our faces, these effects may bother many of us.
What exactly are these signs?
The easiest to see are the wrinkles, of which one part
is due to the facial muscle movements.
The descent of the forehead and the temporal
region shows most of all on the eyebrows and
the eyelids. The eyebrows drop, so a supplement of skin
is seen on the upper eyelids and the lower eyelids get
baggy. The mid part of the face - which plays a key
role in the young face structure - changes as well.
Wrinkles become visible on the neck.
The goal of a face rejuvenating procedure is not to
stop aging, but to create a younger, fresher look. How
can we do that? Several operations are possible, starting
from the small actions insuring only a temporary result,
to more serious surgeries.
In wrinkle treatment there is the possibility to apply
a laser for skin rejuvenation, the BOTOX treatment where
the facial muscles are temporarily blocked, or to use
injectable fillers. These
operations heal quickly, no pause is necessary in the
everyday life.
Nowadays the use of the natural fillers is very popular.
The fat, suctioned from another part of the body, can
be used as a filler, injected into the face. The result
is very natural, but usually need two times for the
perfect, long lasting correction.
In case of "more severe" variations, we can
choose the best procedure from the different forms of
face lifting - temporal
lift, upper or lower cheek reconstruction, endoscopic
surgery.
Previously to the operation though, detailed analyses
and a personal discussion are necessary.
With the use of implants the restructuring of the face,
the changing of its character is possible if needed.

Common questions:
- How long the effect of an injected substance will
last?
The effect of BOTOX last up to 3-4 months. With the
injectable fillers you may have a result till 6 month
- 1 year. These treatments can be repeated later.
- How many years can one recover by face rejuvenation?
Combined surgeries can give you an 8-10 years younger
look. This improvement is for the long term.
- When is it recommended to consider surgery?
When you notice an increasingly bothering variation
in the mirror.
- What's an endoscopic surgery?
In this case the surgery is done by very small incisions
and special instruments, cameras instead of the usual
great incisions. Smaller strain, faster recovery.
