Facelift in Malaga
The passage of time, sun exposure, and other factors can cause signs of aging on the face and neck , such as sagging, wrinkles, and loss of volume. At Dr. Francisco Giraldo ‘s clinic in Malaga, we offer facial rejuvenation procedures , including facelifts, to restore a youthful and natural appearance.
What is a facelift?
A facelift , or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that seeks to correct sagging skin in areas such as the cheekbones, jawline, and neck. This technique tightens the underlying tissues and removes excess skin, achieving a rejuvenated and refreshed appearance.
The Macs Lift is a minimally invasive facelift performed in a surgical procedure lasting approximately two hours . This technique stands out for its ability to achieve immediate results, thanks to its ability to tighten the skin and restore volume to the face, especially in the cheeks, cheekbones, jawline, and neck . It is achieved through a small incision in the sideburn area and inside the earlobes , ensuring minimal scarring.
