Facial lifting: what you need to know before having the surgery

oglobo3 September 2026 at 19:55

Facial rejuvenation has gained prominence on social media and in beauty conversations, especially when celebrities share changes in their appearance. Among the available options, which range from less invasive treatments to surgical interventions, face lifting emerges as an alternative for those who want to soften the effects of aging.

The technique acts on deeper layers of the face and can reposition tissues that have shifted over the years. The goal is not to modify features, but to work together with the characteristics of each face to achieve a balanced result.

Because it involves surgery, the choice requires an individualized assessment and special attention to the training and experience of the responsible professional. Plastic surgeon Laertes Thomaz Júnior highlights that the selection of the specialist should consider important factors to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.
