French Lift

French Lift: Procedure

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.
