The Technique
MALF technique involves less invasive surgery, allowing Dr Alexandre to remove excess skin through an inconspicuous scar in the crease in the front of the ear and in the hairline above the ear.
It is a technique designed by Dr Alexandre to lift the lower two thirds of the face, which is combined with Liposculpture, whereby autologous micro fat grafts are injected in strategic spots in the face to improve face contours and enhance collagen production and skin elasticity.
It can be carried out as soon as signs of aging appear, generally around the age of 40 or 45, to treat the sagging and laxity of the skin and muscles of the face and the neck. Dr Alexandre focuses on balance and proportions and not on dramatically altering one’s facial appearance.
Anesthesia & Hospital stay
The procedure is carried out under general anesthesia.
The patient arrives in the morning and is discharged the following morning.
The Results…
Dr Alexandre’s choice is is not to transform the form and aspect of the face! On the contrary, with his technique of great precision he restores the different anatomical structures of the face and neck (skin, muscles and fat), achieving a result of considerable rejuvenation which nevertheless looks natural. The face regains the features which it had ten to fifteen years before. The general impression is relaxed and refreshed.
After two or three months the result can be fully appreciated. The scars, however, will still be slightly pink and will not fade until the sixth month after the operation.
Duration of results
In the long term, a face- and neck-lift has beaten the ravages of time, but aging does continue, and a second similar procedure can be envisaged after about ten years.
