Within the procedure of the french lift, flexible threads are placed between the tissues around the ear and the tissues around the chin. The area to be treated is disinfected and anesthetized by giving local anesthesia. Small incisions are made in order to attach the threads under the skin. The threads are placed, stretched at the correct rate and fixed at ear level. The whole process takes around 1 hour and after it is finished, the patient can return to daily life. Small incisions may take a few days to heal. If the patient requests, the procedure can also be done in reverse. Flexible threads can be used for up to 10 years and can be repeated if the patient wishes.
The french lift has more benefits especially compared to some other aesthetic procedures. They can be listed as follows:
Various areas can be treated with the french lift. On the face:
-Cheeks,
-Around the chin,
-Eyebrows,
-Neck and cheekbones
On the rest of the body, a french strap can be applied to the breasts, arms, legs, and hips.
It is aimed to take the oval shape of the face with the french lift procedure. Contours and cheekbones become prominent, and thus wrinkles are reduced. The muscles on the face are not affected by the threads. Collagen production is increased around the areas where the threads attach to the skin. At the end of this whole process, usually, a renewed skin image is obtained. In order to see the full results, the adaptation period of the face is about 3 months.
