Facial surgery in Paris

Facial rejuvenation

Your face often reveals your personality, but there are times when you find yourself no longer in harmony with it. As the years go by, the contours of your face can melt away, revealing the marks of time. The skin on your cheeks and neck becomes looser, and the cheekbones, temples and furrows deepen, giving a "dull", tired look to your natural expressions and sending out an image to others that doesn't reflect your temperament or energy.

Dr. Delobaux, a plastic surgeon specializing in cosmetic surgery in Paris, will help you regain a rejuvenated face.

Why have facial lipostructure?

When the features you observe in the mirror reflect a dull, tired image, with dark circles or hollows under the eyes and sunken temples.

The most frequently injected areas?

The most frequently injected areas are as follows:

• Dark circles: dark circles tend to deepen with age. Fat injections deliver long-lasting results. Nanofat, an injection of fat stem cells, improves the dull appearance of dark circles.
• The upper or lower eyelid: this area of the face deepens with age.
• Cheekbones: signs of youth.
• Temples: linked to the eyes and in particular to the tail of the eyebrow, the temples are one of the most important areas to treat. Hollow temples give the face an aged, "bony" appearance.
• Cheeks: after several diets or over time, cheeks tend to hollow out. Facial lipostructure fills this void naturally and sustainably.  
• Lips: for lip augmentation, lipostructure is effective and offers a natural, long-lasting result.
• Nasolabial folds: these are the grooves connecting the wings of the nose to the corners of the mouth.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of lipostructure?

Lipostructure, also known as lipofilling, aims to restore harmony and volume to an aging face. It can be performed alone or in conjunction with a facelift. This technique has both advantages and disadvantages.

Benefits

 Facial lipostructure restores facial volume, restoring harmonious, youthful and dynamic proportions. It fills in hollows and wrinkles, reshapes cheekbones and temples, and is a real radiance booster. The fat injected belongs to you; it has been taken from an area of your choice and purified. 

It contains growth factors that regenerate your skin and give your tissues a rejuvenated appearance. This is a natural method, since it is your own fat that is reinjected. There are no visible scars. So it's an effective, innovative and less costly procedure. During your consultation, Dr. Delobaux will discuss and reassure you about the risks of such an operation.

Disadvantages

Disadvantages may include numbness of the skin (in the treated areas), bruising in the treated areas or edema - very common with any type of cosmetic procedure - which disappears after a few weeks. 

How do the sessions work?

First of all, during the consultation session, Dr. Delobaux welcomes you and answers your questions. He analyzes your needs and desires, and suggests an appropriate solution tailored to your wishes, your skin type, your history, etc. 

On the day of the operation, the surgeon makes precise drawings of the areas to be treated, giving you the opportunity to ask any final questions about the procedure.

The medical (anesthetist) and paramedical team will then take charge of you and accompany you to the operating room. The procedure takes place under general or local anaesthetic, depending on what has been agreed during the consultation. It lasts 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the case. After anesthesia, small incisions of a few millimeters are made to start the infiltration of a saline solution with adrenaline to reduce bleeding and increase your comfort on waking up.

The surgeon then makes a passage under the skin into the deep and superficial fat. The fat is then aspirated using a conventional cannula, in a gentle, non-traumatizing manner since it has been liquefied beforehand. Compared to conventional liposuction, this significantly reduces oedema, bruising and bleeding. The fat is then purified and separated from blood and impurities, so that only pure fat is reinjected into the areas of the face to be treated.

What are the results?

The result is immediately visible, and you need to wait a few weeks (3 months) for the final result. Our patients are delighted with this innovative technique, which delivers natural, long-lasting results.

Facial surgery can improve and rejuvenate features that have been marked or wrinkled by time or weight loss. Optimal results harmonize facial features and restore tone to the upper part of the face.

What happens after the operation?

The post-operative course of facial surgery is light:

You can return home on the same day as the operation; 

When you return home, you should rest completely and effortlessly, and take 3 to 5 days off work. 

The procedure is not very painful and the after-effects are simple; 

Edema and ecchymosis appear on the face, and areas of swelling appear in the following days.     

Are there alternatives to facial surgery?

Cervical-facial lifting is often combined with facial lipofilling, especially in cases of significant skin laxity. Eyelid surgery is also often associated with this procedure.
