Is it worth paying so much for a Mendelssohn lift?

The essence of the technique

Mendelssohn's anti-aging surgery is based on the use of knowledge of the anatomy of the human face. It contains dense tissues and looser layers, devoid of large vessels and nerves. These are the so-called “spaces”. These areas stretch over time, which leads to ptosis of adjacent tissues. And age immediately appears on your face.

Mendelssohn's method involves moving exactly the “spaces” to their previous position and fixing them. This is done using an endoscope, which eliminates the need for large incisions. Along with the “spaces,” the neighboring areas of the face, consisting of muscle tissue and skin, are also tightened. It becomes younger without losing the naturalness of its features. And since there are few blood vessels and nerve fibers in the “spaces,” everything heals much faster than after a traditional lift.

We recommend reading about what your face looks like before and after spacelifting. You will learn what the procedure is, its advantages, indications and contraindications for spacelifting, methods of implementation, and cost. And here is more information about SMAS face lifting.

Areas that will be improved by the Mendelssohn lift

There are several spaces whose movement will lead to a facelift. Therefore, using the Mendelssohn operation you can correct:

• outer corners of the eyes and eyebrow line;
• lower eyelids, cheekbone area;
• cheeks, area around the mouth, depth of the nasolabial fold;
• lower jaw, corners of the lips, their general line;
• neck area, chin.

If necessary, a full face lift is performed. But if you need to improve some of its areas, this is also possible.

Advantages of the method

Spacelifting has several obvious advantages:

• absence of noticeable postoperative scars (sutures are as hidden as possible and are small in size);
• minimal tissue trauma (vessels are almost not damaged, nerves are not affected, large areas of skin do not need to be peeled off);
• rapid recovery after the intervention, the ability to be in public within a week;
• low probability of side effects and complications;
• absence of severe pain and discomfort during the rehabilitation period;
• the ability to be supplemented with other rejuvenation methods, including surgical ones;
• rapid manifestation of the desired effect (it is visible already on the 5th day).

Indications for space lifting

The Mendelssohn technique will be effective for the following problems:

• pronounced nasolabial furrows;
• sagging soft tissues in the cheekbone area;
• ptosis of the upper and lower areas of the cheeks, chin, irregularities in these areas;
• drooping corners of the mouth;
• excess fat on the cheeks and under the lower jaw with drooping of these areas;
• erasing the boundary between the neck and chin;
• decreased elasticity of the tissues of the middle and lower thirds of the face.

What is short-scar smas lifting surgery?

Our face is designed by nature itself in such a way that both the skin and the muscles are connected to the bones of the skull not as a continuous sheet, but with spaces that allow facial movements. The muscles are attached to the bones on one side, and woven into the mucous membrane and skin on the other. There are sliding spaces between the fibers of the facial muscles, which are clearly noticeable in a relaxed state of the face.

You can touch the area of ​​the eyelids or cheeks and feel with your fingers the difference between how the facial muscular system moves and, for example, the attachment of muscles on the calves or forearm. On the face, this mount is movable due to the internal spaces. We work with them during the innovative short-scar smas-lifting technique.

The plastic surgeon is required to enter the desired space using special surgical instruments, after which it is necessary to move and fix the relaxed and tone-deprived tissues in a new, higher position. More precisely, to return the sagging tissue blocks to the position in which they were at a young age. Simple, like everything ingenious. The discovery of this unique technique completely changed the way surgeons think about lifting facial structures and developed into a separate philosophy.

Indications for short scar smas lifting:

• age-related changes in the lower third of the face and upper neck;
• sagging tissue in the chin area;
• unevenness caused by displacement of subcutaneous fat;
• excess skin and excess fat deposits in the chin area and neck.

How is the operation performed?

In our clinic, the short-scar smas-lifting operation lasts from one and a half to three hours. The skin incision is relatively small (the operation is a facial plastic surgery with a short incision). It curves around the auricle in a figurative manner and rises slightly, by 1-2 cm, to the temporal region. If large excess skin is expected, the length of the postauricular part of the scar can reach 3-4 cm, but usually does not exceed 2-3 cm.

The specifics of the incision and the possible length of the scar are discussed before the operation. From the point of view of the risks of damage to large vessels and nerves, the operation is performed in relatively safe areas. Therefore, the risks inherent in traditional operations are practically eliminated.

Due to the optimization of the process and short operation time, short-scar smas-lifting can be combined with a number of additional interventions on the face. You can perform endoscopic forehead and eyebrow plastic surgery, eyelid plastic surgery, installation of facial implants, rhinoplasty, liposuction, as well as laser skin rejuvenation. Any additional operations can be performed on the body at the same time, for example, breast lift or augmentation, or tummy tuck.

Recovery period

Recovery after short-scar smas-lifting is short and as comfortable as possible. The sutures are processed on the dressings by the surgeon. No additional therapeutic effects are required. There is always swelling of the cheeks and neck area, which decreases significantly by the fifth day after surgery. The initial recovery period, that is, the period when most patients can return to work, takes 14 days. Complete rehabilitation takes up to 2 months. You can return to a moderately active life after 2 weeks, and physical activity after a month after surgery.

The short-scar smas-lifting method allows you to return the deep structures of the face to their original place - the place where they were located in youth. The fixation of these structures is carried out in such a way that there is no return path for their gravitational displacement. Thus, the patient’s youth from the point of view of gravitational ptosis will be recorded for all remaining years of life.

Taking into account the above, the operation is indicated for both young women with emerging changes in soft tissues, and older patients with problems with ptosis in all parts of the face.

To restore the quality of the facial skin itself, the participation of a cosmetologist may be required, in particular intraoperative laser rejuvenation.

We offer you original rehabilitation programs, including:

• cryomassage,
• magnetic therapy,
• bioresonance microcurrents,
• dermal electromicrolifting,

Carrying out space lifting

The operation takes 2 - 3 hours, which depends on the scale of the desired changes and the characteristics of age-related manifestations. It consists of several stages:

• tissue tightening areas are marked on the face;
• the patient receives intravenous anesthesia as well as local anesthesia;
• after antiseptic treatment of the skin, an incision is made in the ear area;
• through the opened access, an endoscope is inserted, transmitting the image of the “spaces” to the screen;
• these areas are alternately tightened and secured;
• if necessary, excise excess skin;
• After the lifting is completed, stitches are applied, then a bandage is applied.

How is spacelifting performed?

To professionally master the spacelifting technique, a plastic surgeon must understand the topographic anatomy of the maxillofacial region and painstakingly work through all stages of the operation. Using modern endoscopic equipment, the doctor finds free spaces in the patient, tightens them without damaging the vessels and facial nerves, and fixes them with threads in the places designated in youth. The operation is performed under general gentle anesthesia for several hours and does not require long-term rehabilitation: the stitches are hidden in natural folds, and slight swelling goes away a few days after removing the special mask. In general, each surgeon has not only his own vision, but also the result.

Rehabilitation after

The rejuvenation effect will be noticeable after a week. Of these, the patient spends only 2–3 days in the hospital. But the full recovery period will last 2 months. At this time, the patient must adhere to certain rules:

• Treat the seams with an antiseptic solution twice daily until healing;
• protect them from water during hygiene procedures;
• wear the bandage for 2 - 3 days after surgery, do not wash your hair during this time;
• completely eliminate any physical activity for a week and limit it for the next 20 days;
• reduce the amount of salt in food for 7 days so that swelling goes away faster;
• Avoid drinking alcohol for a month and try to avoid cigarettes;
• for the same period, replace the hot bath with a warm shower, do not go to the bathhouse or swimming pool;
• do not sunbathe for 2 months, so as not to provoke the growth of scar tissue in the area of ​​the sutures.

Are complications possible?

Despite the low invasiveness of plastic surgery using the Mendelssohn method, the operation in rare cases may not end entirely successfully. Complications after it include:

• hematomas and seromas;
• bleeding;
• inflammatory process in the soft tissues of the face;
• impaired skin sensitivity (usually numbness);
• severe swelling that persists for a long time.

Problems occur due to medical errors, ignoring contraindications to intervention, and patient violations of the regimen during rehabilitation.

Preparation

In order for the operation to be successful and with minimal complications, it is necessary to properly prepare for it. First, the surgeon performs a visual examination of the patient, asks him about existing problems and determines what result the person ultimately expects.

At the same stage, it is important to determine the scope of surgical intervention, identify areas requiring correction and clarify the location of intercellular voids. Some clinics provide a computer modeling service, where the client can see the resulting effect in advance of the procedure.

To make sure that there are no possible contraindications, the patient is sent for laboratory and instrumental examination, which involves:

• general and detailed blood test;
• study to determine the level of blood clotting;
• Analysis of urine;
• electrocardiogram;
• fluorography;
• test for hepatitis, HIV and syphilis.

Only after the doctor's approval can the client be allowed to undergo surgery.

The preparation process also implies compliance with certain rules several weeks before the expected date of the manipulation.

One of the most important points in the preparation phase is to quit smoking, since under the influence of nicotine, wound healing occurs at a slower pace.

It is also necessary to exclude taking hormonal and painkillers, as well as drugs that thin the blood.

You should not spend a lot of time in direct sunlight, which can cause increased pigmentation. To avoid swelling, on the eve of surgery it is recommended to avoid eating fatty and salty foods, as well as large amounts of liquid.

On the day of the manipulation, you need to remove all jewelry, lenses and piercings. To wash your face, you need to use cosmetics that do not contain alcohol.

Cost of the procedure

The price of Mendelssohn's rejuvenation surgery varies from 350,000 rubles. up to 500,000 rub. The high cost is explained by the excellent plastic effect with minimal tissue damage. The fact that in the post-Soviet space there are still few specialists proficient in this technique also plays a role in its formation.

Despite the high cost, patients increasingly prefer to undergo space lifting rather than a traditional lift. This method will provide a rejuvenating effect for the next 10 years, regardless of the patient’s age. And if only Mendelssohn lifting is not enough, it can be combined with blepharoplasty, surgical correction of the forehead, and supplemented with hardware cosmetic procedures.
