Mix Lifting

The factors of time and aging have an impact on the nature of the skin. One of the most important places affected by these factors is the face. A woman’s goal is always to appear in the best possible way, so she begins her search for non-traditional cosmetic solutions to solve all facial problems, such as wrinkles, sagging, or fat loss which causes an older appearance. On the other hand, they fear surgical operations and total anesthesia, so they start a new years in their lives with Filler, Botox, and face-lifts with cosmetic threads, to try to control their appearance, and they reach their desired immediate results.

But each of these techniques has a specific result time, after which the tissue layers of the face get rid of it, and the shape of the face returns to its first state, and even the problems increase with age more and more. 

Now, madam, you can solve all these problems in only one procedure with Prof. Dr. Ahmed El Sherifa, consultant of plastic surgery, sculpting and body shaping, through a combined face and neck lift - Mix Lifting. What is this technique? How its results are different from other techniques? Find out the answer to these questions in this article with Professor Dr. Ahmed El Sherifa.

Why do some women turn to Botox injections to get rid of facial sagging and wrinkles?
Botox is a substance extracted from a microbe called Clostridium botulinum that was discovered in the early nineteenth century and began to be used in cosmetic procedures at the beginning of the twentieth century. Botox can prevent chemical brain signals from reaching the muscles where wrinkles appear, and therefore when injected into the bottom of these muscles, it works to achieve muscle relaxation, so the saggy skin decreases, but its effect lasts between 3 months and a year, depending on the nature of each body and the extent of the body’s response to Botox injections, and the wrinkles level as well.

Why do some women turn to filler injections to get a youthful appearance?
Filler is used to help women return to their youthful appearance again, by filling low-volume areas, wrinkles, or places of sagging in the face, so it fills the area from the inside and gives it a full appearance, such as filling in the fine lines around the eyes and the circumference of the lips, as it has been used recently to give the lips a very attractive and feminine appearance. However, like Botox, it does not last long on the face and disappears within a year.

Why do many women avoid surgical facelifts, and perform facelifts with cosmetic threads?
This is because many women are afraid of total anesthesia and surgery. But they want to rejuvenate their skin and look younger, so these threads represent the perfect choice as they stimulate the production of collagen in the face and neck, so there is no more sagging, but they last for less than 6 months at most as Botox and Fillers, and after that, women start searching for a new technique that helps them restore the luster of their skin.

However, these repeated injections cause skin damage with age and frequent injection times, so the face becomes older than its shape before repeating all those injections. The main solution is the tightening technique "Combined face and neck - Mix Lifting" with  Professor Dr. Ahmed El Sherifa, consultant of plastic surgery, sculpting and body shaping.

What is Mix Lifting advantages over Filler, Botox, and cosmetic thread facelifts?
As we mentioned, with age and repeated injections of Filler and Botox, and the application of the cosmetic thread technique, the face loses a large portion of its health, whether from the loss of the fat layers, superficial or deep, or the loss of facial tissues and the hardness of its ligaments. Here comes the role of the combined face and neck lift technique - Mix Lifting with Professor Dr. Ahmed El Sherifa, so each problem is solved through the following:

1. The problem of losing the superficial and deep fat layers of the face: it is solved by injecting fat into those places; to return the shape of the face and show it in a younger way.

2. The problem of losing the firmness of the skin and ligaments of the face: its solution is by lifting the skin of the face and its muscle layer, thus restoring the elasticity of the skin, ligaments, soft tissues and muscles under the skin, so the skin appears in a younger form, very natural without any exaggeration and without any abnormal appearance later.
