Q1. Is there an age limit for facelift surgery?
A1: As long as your health condition is good and you can indeed achieve improvement through facelift surgery after blood tests and professional doctor evaluation, there is no age limit.
Q2,How many years can the facelift last?
A2: A successful facelift surgery can make a person look five to ten years younger, but the aging process will not stop. It will take about ten years for the face to return to its pre-surgery appearance.
Q3, Are the wounds obvious?
A3: As long as the tension is not placed on the skin, but on the superficial muscles and fascia, the scar will not be obvious, and the surgical wound is usually hidden in the hair or on the hairline or behind the ear. It will take about half a year to a year to fade away and go undetected.
Q4, Will the expression become stiff and unnatural after facelift?
A4: There will be swelling and slight numbness at the initial stage of the operation. The swelling will subside in about one to two weeks. After one month, it will become natural and you will no longer be smiling.
Q5, Which aging areas can be improved by facelift?
A5: Upper facelift surgery can improve forehead lines, brow pressure, frown lines, crow's feet and drooping eyelids. A mid-face lift can improve nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lips, drooping corners of the mouth, sagging cheeks and minor eye bags. High fascia lift (lower face lift) can improve the jaw line and even turkey neck and neck lines.

Q9, What is the difference between endoscopic facelift and traditional facelift?
A9: Endoscopic facelift results in less bleeding and smaller wounds, but it is not suitable for people with too wide foreheads. Because endoscopic facelifts pull the skin upward without excision of the skin, the forehead is too wide and loose. For people who have thin forehead, just pulling it upward will make the forehead appear too wide and high, which will make it look a bit out of proportion. The same should be paid attention to when endoscopic facelift is performed on the mid-face.
A12: Nowadays, facelift can be combined with other surgeries, such as endoscopic five-prong brow lift, temporal facelift, under-eye zygomatic and orbital lift, high-cut superficial myofascial system bidirectional stratified facelift, and mid-face lift. At least 6 key surgeries, including shaft liposuction surgery, neck liposuction and facelift surgery, are completed in one go. The purpose of this is to reduce the unnaturalness caused by traditional facelifts that only stretch the face horizontally, as well as the easy recurrence of sagging and other problems ( FE Barton 2002, ST Hamra 2008, TJ Marten 2008) Also because this is an operation that combines many surgical techniques and aesthetics, and the scope of the operation is rich in nerves and blood vessels, it is recommended to be performed by professional plastic surgery specialists designated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. , to ensure safety and achieve the best results, retaining your precious youth!
Q13, How to choose the facelift treatment that suits you? Is there a limit to the number of face lifts on the same area? How long should be the interval between each treatment?

Of course, it must be evaluated by a professional doctor and a customized surgical plan will be made according to the degree of skin laxity of each person. Usually, the skin quality of those in the younger and mature age groups can be improved through non-invasive sonic facelift treatment, while those in the middle-aged and older age groups can choose facelift surgery for better results. Basically, there is no limit on the number of facelifts, but in principle, the longer the interval between each facelift treatment, the better, at least more than half a year.
Is the skin on your face loose? Because endoscopic facelift surgery does not remove excess loose skin, so for people with loose skin who only undergo endoscopic facelift surgery, they will feel that the loose skin is concentrated. Feeling, so traditional facelift surgery is still one of the options to consider for people with loose skin.
Q: Is there an age limit for thread insertion? How to judge whether the face is suitable for thread embedding?

Q: How long is the recovery period after thread embedding surgery? Will it leave scars?
Depending on the surgical case, the longer time is 7-10 days without leaving scars..
Q: Will it have any impact if I have buried the wire before? Can I still embed the thread after having a filling? How long should the interval between treatments be? Or does it not matter?

Q: Can a tummy tuck remove stretch marks?
Stretch marks occur when the elastic fibers in the dermis break due to excessive expansion of the skin. When the skin loses its elasticity, many deep or shallow lines appear. Once stretch marks form, they cannot be eliminated naturally without laser or dermabrasion. The effect is not good either. The stretch marks below the belly button can be removed together with the loose and excess skin during the facelift surgery, while the remaining stretch marks can become less obvious when the belly is tightened.
Q: Are the scars after tummy tuck surgery obvious? Can scars be faded through other scar repair methods?
A tummy tuck will leave a long, thin scar on the lower abdomen, and the wound will be designed so that it can be covered by underwear.
The initial scars will be pink and obvious, but will fade after a year as long as you take good care of them.
Although scar repair surgery has a certain effect, it cannot be completely eliminated. Prevention is better than treatment of scar formation. Care must be taken after the sutures are removed, and silicone sheets should be used to compress the scars to reduce scarring.

The recovery time varies from person to person. This surgery is deep and wide, and the patient will have a longer recovery period after surgery.

-One week after surgery (7-10 days):Start with easy activities, such as walking.
-10-14 days after surgery:Return date for suture removal.
-3-6 weeks after surgery (28+ days):You can slowly return to your pre-operative activities.

There are various picoseconds on the market now
The many choices are dizzying
But is your skin problem really suitable for picosecond treatment?
Discovery PicoSo powerful, it can deal with all kinds of skin problems, so we still needIntense pulsed Light?
I believe this is a popular question that many people want to ask about medical beauty treatments when they have problems with their skin, right? !
The editor will briefly explain it here (the simplest and clearest one)
Both picosecond and color laser treatments will break down melanin and dullness, restoring the skin’s youthful luster.
But the use of color processing is "selective photothermolysis"principle
Destroy and stimulate the water, heme, and melanin in the skin to restore and regenerate the skin tissue!
That is to sayColor photon can also attack hemoglobin,Improve skin redness and dilated bloodshot eyes
Picosecond is best at eliminating melanin, but its effect on blood vessels is much inferior!!!
Of course, everyone’s face is also different due to different life schedules and physical conditions.
Different skin conditions will occur, and there are often thousands of skin problems.
It won’t be a single problem, there may be several different conditions on the same face.
Still neededAdvice from a qualified professional physicianandPerform the treatment in person
This is the most correct concept! !
Athena hopes to provide not only services and treatments, but also to let more people know the correct concepts through the popularity of medical cosmetology!
