Why Does Ageing Occur?<\/h2>\n

Facial ageing occurs:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Due to tissue oxidation.<\/li>\n
  2. Due to the effects of gravity. If we lived on the Moon, we would age differently. Gravity causes tissues to descend and become deformed.<\/li>\n
  3. There is also a loss of volume that cannot be replaced.<\/li>\n
  4. Another key factor influencing facial ageing is the elongation of the muscles. In other words, over time, the facial fibres stretch and the face begins to appear longer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In addition, there are wrinkles, changes in skin texture and, most importantly, loss of volume around the eyes.<\/p>\n\"Solicita<\/picture><\/a>\n

    Beauty Has an Explanation: Muscle Modulation<\/h2>\n

    At Cl\u00ednica Planas, we have developed a new procedure that represents an evolution of the facelift as we have known it until now.<\/p>\n

    We are referring to Light Lifting<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, a muscle modulation or periorbital modulation technique<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    With this surgical procedure, we work against the effects of gravity by repositioning the tissues that have been displaced by it, thereby rejuvenating the face.<\/p>\n

    Light Lifting<\/strong> works against the vectors created by gravity, whose effects become more pronounced on the face as we age:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. By retightening the muscles<\/li>\n
    2. By repositioning them more effectively, as in the case of the orbicularis muscle.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Light Lifting modifies muscle tension and, as a result, the outcome of the surgery continues to improve over time. In other words, a patient may look very good one week after surgery, but one month after the procedure, they will look even better<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      Why?<\/p>\n

      Because the muscles function much better when they are taut. As a result, the improvement becomes increasingly noticeable over time. As the months pass, the patient will continue to look better.<\/p>\n

      In this case, we can see how this surgery has enhanced the shape of Lizy’s eyes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      Lizy’s Case<\/h2>\n

      Lizy came to the consultation with a drawn appearance, possibly as a result of the chronic use of neuromodulators.<\/p>\n

      At her first consultation, Lizy presented with:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. An O-shaped periorbital area, whereas an aesthetically attractive periorbital area has a C shape that opens outwards.<\/li>\n
      2. A drawn appearance around the eyes. The lower eyelid sits one millimetre below the iris. The eyelid should sit level with the iris; in other words, the white area between the eyelid and the iris should not normally be visible.<\/li>\n
      3. Drooping cheekbones.<\/li>\n
      4. An elongated face.<\/li>\n
      5. A drooping lip.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
