A facelift usually leaves discreet scars around the ears or in the hairline. Thanks to modern techniques and rigorous post-operative follow-up, these scars become almost invisible over time. The use of specialized creams and sun protection also help to reduce their visibility.
Risks include asymmetry, infection, abnormal scarring, and temporary or permanent loss of sensation. These complications can be minimized by choosing an experienced surgeon and carefully following post-operative care, especially after treatments such as facial microneedling, popular in Montreal.
Facial tightening thread is a non-invasive method of lifting and firming the skin without surgery. Absorbable threads are inserted under the skin to hold tissues in place, also stimulating collagen production for long-lasting results. This treatment is fast, effective, and allows a rapid return to activity.
