Operation
Before the local anesthesia is applied the surgeon will accurately draw the course of the incisions with special consideration to the natural creases of the facial skin. By lifting the subcutaneous muscle (platysma) as well, the result will last longer and tension is taken off the skin. This vastly reduces the formation of scars vastly and the appearance is more natural. The incisions are made in a way that the scars will be nearly invisible.

It is sold worldwide by Medicon the company for special instruments for plastic surgery in Germany. The facelift scissors acc. to Dr. Solz are a help to achieve a natural results, less bleeding and more safety during surgery.
