Presto-Facelifting - Verjüngung des Gesichtes mittels Presto-Lifting

Presto_Facelifting

What is a Presto facelift?

Das Presto-Facelift ist ein ästhetischer Eingriff zur Verjüngung des Gesichts. Im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Facelifts zielt es auf eine natürliche und harmonische Ästhetik ab, ohne die Gesichtszüge zu verfremden. Presto steht für: “Preservation of the retaining ligaments and SMAS-tethering“.

What is the advantage over a conventional facelift?

Unlike traditional facelifts, which require extensive surgical procedures, the Presto facelift offers shorter recovery times and reduced risk.

Advantages of the Presto facelift

  • Shorter recovery time: As the procedure is less invasive, patients can return to their daily activities more quickly.
  • Less scarring: The minimally invasive technique leaves fewer visible scars compared to traditional facelifts.
  • Natural result: The procedure aims to achieve natural results that do not overly tighten or alter the face.
  • Lower risks: With less invasive techniques, the risks of complications are significantly lower.

The Presto facelift procedure

Vor dem Eingriff findet ein ausführliches Beratungsgespräch mit unserer erfahrenen Fachärztin für Plastische und Ästhetische Chirurgie Fr. Dr. med. Michaela Montanari statt. Hierbei besprechen wir Ihre individuellen Bedürfnisse und Erwartungen. Bei der Anamnese erfassen wir auch alle relevanten medizinischen Informationen und prüfen, ob der Eingriff bei Ihnen auch das gewünschte Ergebnis erzielen wird oder ob alternative Methoden zielführender sind.

Preparation for the operation

Before undergoing a Presto facelift, patients should take certain precautions to ensure optimal results. These include:

  • Avoid nicotine and alcohol for at least two weeks before the procedure.
  • Please inform us of all medication and dietary supplements you are taking.
  • Cleansing of the face on the day of the procedure and avoidance of make-up.

The procedure or operation

Das Presto-Facelifting wird in der Regel in Vollnarkose durchgeführt. Der Eingriff selbst dauert etwa drei Stunden, je nach Komplexität und den individuellen Bedürfnissen des Patienten. Wir setzen kleine Schnitte, oft an unauffälligen Stellen wie den Haaransätzen, und strafft die darunterliegende Muskulatur und Haut, um das gewünschte ästhetische Ergebnis zu erzielen.

Aftercare

After the procedure, it is important to follow the surgeon's instructions carefully to promote a quick and complication-free recovery. This includes:

  • Regular check-ups to monitor progress.
  • Avoid heavy physical exertion for at least two weeks.
  • Application of prescribed ointments or creams to support healing.
  • Avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreen.

Possible risks and side effects

Wie bei jedem medizinischen Eingriff gibt es auch beim Presto-Facelifting mögliche Risiken und Nebenwirkungen. Diese sind jedoch in der Regel gering und vorübergehend. Wir erklären Ihnen vor Ihrer Operation alle individuellen Risiken und Nebenwirkungen. Die häufigsten sind:

  • Swelling and bruising, which will subside after a few days.
  • Mild pain or discomfort that can be treated with painkillers.
  • Infections or wound healing disorders that require medical treatment rarely occur.

Results and long-term effect

The results of the Presto facelift are usually fully visible after a few weeks, as soon as the swelling has subsided. Patients report a rejuvenated and refreshed appearance that lasts for several years. A healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and adequate sun protection, can help to maintain the results in the long term.

Conclusion on the Presto facelift

The Presto facelift is ideal for facial rejuvenation without major surgery. It offers shorter recovery times, fewer risks and natural results.

The result of a facelift always depends on individual factors. Depending on the initial situation (e.g. the extent of your sagging or excess skin, skin structure, etc.) and your desire for change, there are different methods of facelifting. Whether a presto facelift or an alternative method can achieve the desired change for you in the long term can only be determined after an examination.

What should you look out for when choosing a doctor / clinic?

When choosing an expert for your facial rejuvenation, make sure that you use the term specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery. Other designations such as beauty doctor, cosmetic surgeon, etc. are unprotected and not a sign of qualification (more on "What should you consider when choosing a specialist?„.

Make sure that you receive a comprehensive preliminary examination and information about the course of treatment, possible risks and the healing process.
