Preserving authenticity

AESTHETIC FACE SURGERY

There is now more than one kind of facelift. Each part of the face can be remodelled and tightened up in special ways to safeguard authenticity and avoid falling into the trap of "perfect” standardisation.

Any rejuvenation procedure must be closely linked to the improvement procedure. Tightening up the skin should not be the goal as there is nothing more artificial than an "ironed out” face. The choice of the right procedure will be guided by the quality and condition of the skin and by the result we are aiming to achieve.

Talking things over with the patient, explaining what the changes will actually look like, never hesitating to refuse any misguided and excessive requests, standing up to people who always want the maximum smoothing effect and always putting nature first... these are the golden rules we must follow if we are going to avoid disappointments or, worse, disasters. An operation is successful when it merges with the whole rather than standing apart from it.

Nowadays, when performed properly, aesthetic surgery can help you look up to 10 years younger. And even though time inexorably continues its work, you never lose the years you have gained provided, of course, that you adopt a healthy, well-balanced lifestyle. Even so, a victory only becomes a true success when, in a single motion, the surgeon becomes an artist and restores both harmony and freshness.
