Surgical facelift: when yes and when no?

Today, the desire for youth that most women share can be fulfilled without necessarily having to undergo surgery. There are many strides made by aesthetic medicine in terms of treatments that aim to restore a plump and firm appearance to the skin, but which have no need of a scalpel. Such is the case with Ultherapy, a microfocused ultrasound aesthetic medicine treatment employed in nonsurgical lifting of the face, neck and décolleté. This new technology is one of the latest additions to Merz Aesthetics and has already been widely used in the United States for several years. Finally, Ultherapy is also available in Italy. It is a non-invasive treatment that has no side effects or contraindications and guarantees extraordinary and, above all, long-lasting results. Is the surgical facelift, then, destined to retire? Not exactly. Rather, there are cases that must be compulsorily treated with a scalpel and others on which, instead, it would be better to intervene differently. For clarity, we talked about this with Dr. Mirko Manola, a plastic surgeon who happily uses Ultherapy to meet the demands of his patients. Dr. Manola, when is it appropriate to have a surgical facelift and when, instead, can Ultherapy be used? Many of the people who come to the office for consultation have a minimal defect, while a small proportion suffer from an issue that necessarily needs surgery. Ultherapy is a true innovation because compared with classic fillers and botox it acts in the same deep areas where surgery operates. Therefore, patients who do not have a “major” defect today no longer have to undergo an overly invasive surgery, but can opt for an alternative solution that, if well performed, guarantees excellent results, certainly also very harmonious with the rest of the body compared to the classic facelift. It should be emphasized, then, that many times the surgical facelift-if not properly performed-after 6 to 8 months after surgery is likely to return the patient to square one. Take, for example, the mini facelift–called lunchtime facelift–which consists simply of traction of the skin. Given that aging takes place in depth and not on the surface, it happens that after 6-8 months the effects wear off, despite having undergone a real operation. Going back to Ultherapy, what does the treatment consist of? Does it involve side effects, are there specific treatments involved? Ultherapy is a very simple treatment and involves no postoperative problems except for mild edema that fades in 24-48 hours. I always recommend the application of an anesthetic cream before the session, which is still less uncomfortable than a lip filler. The duration varies from 30 to 90 minutes depending on the areas to be treated, after which you return to normal daily activities. In this respect, Ultherapy is revolutionary. Are the effects immediate? It depends. The eyebrow lift, for example, is visible right away because the skin is thinner, while the face takes 45-60 days. How long do they last over time? Can the treatment be repeated? The effects last about a couple of years, but Ultherapy can be repeated without any problems. According to statistics, 70% of patients are satisfied with it. I believe, however, that the remaining 30% simply had to deal with a treatment that was not performed well. The result, in fact, is very subjective because we are in the field of regenerative medicine and the biological response varies from patient to patient. In addition, Ultherapy is an operator-dependent energy device; it needs ongoing training and professionalism. Do patients still take inspiration from celebrities when approaching surgical or cosmetic medicine treatments? Yes, 50% of patients are still inspired by a TV or otherwise famous model. They often show the photo of the person they would like to resemble for face, breasts, and so on. Are there any VIPs among your patients? Yes, Ultherapy is also practiced on VIPs, precisely because it is less invasive than surgery and with excellent results. Do you remember a very delicate and difficult case that you treated with Ultherapy? Certainly all cases where there was significant aging of the neck. One patient, for example, was overjoyed 60 days after the session, not only because of the visible effects but also because of the pleasant feeling of turgor from within the tissues that Ultherapy gives. Are there any cases where you advise against it? Yes, all cases that are too severe to be treated only by surgery. For all others, there are absolutely no contraindications.
REGENERATIVE BREAST AUGMENTATION

REGENERATIVE BREAST AUGMENTATION DR. MIRKO MANOLA’S INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUE THAT ALLOWS A NATURAL AND PAINLESS RESULT, ACCELERATING RECOVERY TIME WITH INVISIBLE SCARRING OUTCOMES REGENERATIVE ADDITIONAL MASTOPLASTICS is Dr. Manola’s innovative technique, which is based on the combination of PRP, with Dual-Plane breast augmentation surgery, a technique in which the prosthesis is placed half under the pectoral muscle and half under the mammary gland, ensuring a natural result. The goal is to make breast augmentation surgery less painful and speed up recovery time with almost invisible scarring outcomes. PRP is the taken in small amounts and subsequently injected under the skin in “small knobs” in the areas of concern. What does the treatment consist of? After performing Dual-Plane breast augmentation surgery, intraoperatively, PRP, platelet-enriched plasma, is injected under the skin in “small knobs” in the areas of interest, this results in accelerated tissue regeneration at the muscle level, resulting in reduced time and pain intensity, but also at the level of the access area to insert the prosthesis, breast sulcus, periariolar. Treatment with PRP an entirely endogenous substance is obtained by drawing 10cc of blood that is centrifuged using specific tubes to obtain plasma, rich in platelets, ensuring optimal healing. This treatment can be repeated over the next two to three months to optimize healing and tissue regeneration. Cell regeneration or regenerative medicine, is the biostimulation of dermal cells by injection of autologous platelet-rich plasma. This new biostimulatory method, is an innovative therapy that finds application in many medical and especially aesthetic fields. The topical application of platelet-rich concentrates, through the release of growth factors (growth factor), stimulates the production of collagen and thus the subsequent cellular regeneration, of damaged or aged skin or hypodermis. The cosmetic benefits are considerable. You can use this technique for: anti-aging cell bioregeneration; contrast of wrinkles and signs of aging; post-peeling cell mask; combination with other anti-aging techniques such as laser and radiofrequency, to enhance their effects and durations; blending with fillers for wrinkle filling or increased volumes. This new methodology also finds application in purely trichological areas, it is scientifically proven, that PRP reduces or even stops hair loss or alopecia. In some cases, it is also possible to have excellent results in hair thickening treatments. Dr. Mirko Manola, born in 1979, graduated in Medicine and Surgery with a license to practice at the University of Catania, and specialized in Plastic Reconstructive Surgery and Aesthetic Surgery, operating in the field of cosmetic medicine and surgery, in the offices of Rome, Catania and Milan, bringing to his surgeries increasingly innovative methods and technologies. In his operations, Dr. Manola, prefers techniques that are always at the forefront, to best meet the needs of his patients. In additive mastoplasty surgery, the cosmetic surgery procedure aimed at augmenting and reshaping the breasts, Dr. Manola uses only polyurethane implants, the best that exist on the market with an unlimited warranty over time and with CE (European Community) and FDA (U.S. control body) certification.
Dr. Mirko Manola: facial treatments without scalpel

Dr. Mirko Manola, born in 1979, graduated from the University of Catania in 2005 with a degree in Medicine and Surgery with a license to practice, and in 2006 he joined the provincial register of surgeons of Catania, specializing later in 2010 in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. He opened his first practice in Catania in 2008, where he still operates monthly, dividing his time also between practices in Rome and Milan, where he opened in December 2016 his private practice Dr. Mirko Manola Plastic surgery, in the heart of Brera. His professional path, which led him to become a well-known plastic surgeon, began at a young age when, thanks to his father, also a physician, he got to know and frequent the environment that over the years would become his world. His passion for surgery, predisposition for image care, pursuit of precision and attention to detail were already innate. Innovative facial treatments for facial and skin rejuvenation Ultherapy and Change Your Skin are Dr. Mirko Manola’s two innovative, non-surgical treatments, useful for facial and skin rejuvenation, without having to undergo surgery, but performable in his medical office and useful for preparing the skin for the sun. Specifically, Ultherapy is the only nonsurgical facelift that involves the use of microfocused ultrasound that acts in a single session, in a deep and targeted manner counteracting skin laxity at its source. Change Your Skin is the treatment for skin improvement by making the skin smoother and tighter by eliminating any imperfections.

Innovative and cutting-edge aesthetic medicine technologies

Dr. Mirko Manola, presents two innovative NON-surgical treatments that are useful for facial and skin rejuvenation, without having to undergo surgery, but can be performed in his medical office. Ultherapy is a true non-surgical facelift, while Change Your Skin is the treatment that allows for skin improvement by making the skin smoother and firmer by eliminating any imperfections. The innovative Ultherapy treatment is the only facelift recognized by the FDA, the strict U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which involves the use of microfocused ultrasound that acts in a deep and targeted manner, counteracting skin laxity at its origin,from the very first session. Ultherapy is the only treatment that makes it possible to pinpoint with extreme precision the layer of skin that is to be treated.The Ultherapy system, uses DeepSEE technology that ensures a high level of safety for the patient. Evidence of its efficacy and especially its extreme safety is documented by some 90 clinical studies and scientific publications subjected to detailed and scrupulous quality control. Before performing ULTHERAPY treatment, Dr. Manola thoroughly examines the aging status of the skin through a detailed examination planning, together with the patient, the most suitable protocol that will have to take into account the starting situation of the skin and the results that the patient himself intends to achieve through the therapy. At this point it will be possible to identify the depth and intensity of the ultrasound treatment to be applied. The protocol involves a single treatment session lasting between thirty and ninety minutes, during which the doctor will examine the skin areas with an ultrasound probe and treat them with ultrasound in a precise and targeted manner. How Nonsurgical Lifting Works The nonsurgical lifting treatment acts on skin, subcutis and muscle and is essentially based on microfocused ultrasound stimuli that generate targeted heat on the areas affected by laxity: once the ultrasound reaches the skin point on which to act, it transforms into heat, reaching the right temperature to stimulate collagen regeneration, whose task will be to give elasticity and firmness to the skin once again. The heating caused by ultrasound generates a stimulation and contraction of collagen that tightens and reshapes skin tissues selected in advance by the doctor: this particular process allows for extremely natural aesthetic results. Underlying the collagen stimulation that characterizes Ultherapy is the ability of ultrasound to reach the ideal temperature to induce deep tissue regeneration. Other technologies such as radiofrequency, infrared, and lasers also take advantage of heat, but they are not able to reach the same temperature and depth as microfocused ultrasound. The first results of Ultherapy are visible already after the treatment session, but the regeneration process of collagen proteins needs at least 2-3 months for a real and effective stabilization. Ultherapy treatment is recommended for any individual, regardless of the patient’s age or phototype. It represents a viable alternative to surgery for anyone with mild skin laxity or who is unwilling to undergo invasive surgical treatment. In addition, it will be possible to subject the treated skin area to both sun exposure and make-up. Ultherapy can also be performed as a maintenance after facelift surgery, in case the patient wishes to stimulate neocollagenesis after surgery and prolong the results. Following the treatment session, mild redness or swelling may be experienced near the treated skin areas, which will disappear within about two to three days. As with any medical procedure, surgical facelift treatment can also involve side effects that may consist of mild sunburn and temporary bruising that disappear within a few days. Ultherapy is not recommended for patients with skin lesions and severe acne. Areas to be treated: Face Neck and Décolleté One treatment session: Ultherapy treatment takes place on an outpatient basis and lasts 30 to 90 minutes. Recovery time: immediate Ultherapy is designed to regenerate and strengthen tissue from within; it is a gradual process over time to create new collagen. Results vary from patient to patient. Subsequent touch-up treatments about 2 years apart can help compensate for the natural skin aging process. Now let’s talk about CHANGE YOUR SKIN is a non-surgical treatment that aims to make the smoother and firmer by eliminating any imperfections such as acne scars, skin thickening and reducing small surface wrinkles on the face. The treatment involves the use of CO2 laser resurfacing, biorevitalization with hyaluronic acid and PRP. In the change your skin program it is essential to have a 360-degree approach of the skin, so before the treatment a thorough skin analysis is carried out proceeding later with a multifunctional program that will act in the deepest layers thus obtaining an optimal global result. First, the first layer of the skin, the epidermis, is treated through the use of the innovative Resufacing CO2 laser, which allows exfoliation of the skin through gentle physical pilling. Next, the deeper layers, the papillary dermis and reticular dermis, are to be treated with hyaluronic acid biorevitalization and PRP, which allows true accelerated tissue regeneration. These two products are injected by infiltration, and allow tissue regeneration and reactivation of collagen production. The treatment lasts fifteen minutes and must be repeated every thirty days three times. In Dr. Manola’s office, located at 58 Via della Moscova, Milan, other types of non-surgical treatment can be chosen: BODY REMODELING TREATMENTS ACCENT PRIME to remedy typical female body imperfections with infrared and radiofrequency. FEMLIFT TREATMENT for vaginal rejuvenation and incontinence LASER DEPILATION – SOPRANO ICE, the most sophisticated and state-of-the-art laser hair removal equipment to combat the reappearance of hair on any part of the body and face.
“Ultherapy” and “Change Your Skin” the innovative, non-surgical treatments by Dr. Mirko Manola

Aesthetic medicine, body and face at its best ahead of summer

Dr. Mirko Manola presents new trends in the field of aesthetic medicine, useful for preparing the body and face in the best possible way for the summer, without resorting to a scalpel: gluteal plastic with hyaluronic acid that allows for a high and firm back without the use of implants, hyperhydration with combined biorevitalization for the face, Soprano Ice and Accent Prime definitive laser hair removal for cellulite imperfections. It is widely believed that the pre-summer period is not the best time to perform plastic surgery, due to the long recovery times that require regular care. Today, however, thanks to Dr. Mirko Manola’s most innovative technologies, it is possible to resort to these non-surgical and therefore non-invasive surgeries, which have very fast recovery times and give satisfactory as well as natural results. MEDICAL GLUTEOPLASTY WITH HYALURONIC ACID The most popular treatment of the moment is gluteoplasty, a real must for summer. It is the only non-surgical hyaluronic acid treatment that can lift and firm the B-side, without the use of implants. Thanks to hyaluronic acid infiltration, it is possible to improve the appearance of one’s buttocks without resorting to surgery. By deeply nourishing the skin, hyaluronic acid makes it possible to achieve a result that is absolutely natural and in line with the patient’s wishes. It is, in fact, the safest of all injectable substances, being naturally present in our bodies and therefore totally safe. The procedure is outpatient, takes about thirty minutes and does not require general anesthesia. After only five days, normal activities can be resumed without any dressing. In addition, the treatment can be performed several times, as needed, as it is completely resorbable. The result varies from 12 to 16 months. This treatment is also in high demand among men. HYPERHYDRATION WITH COMBINED BIOREVITALIZATION Hyperhydration of the face is achieved at the dermal level through infiltration of revitalizing substances including hyaluronic acid, amino acids, polynucleotides, and platelet-rich plasma. This practice is very useful in the summertime, especially for those areas, such as the face, that are more prone to the risk of photoaging, or skin aging, and dehydration and skin discoloration phenomena such as sunspots, due to increased exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The benefits of this type of treatment are prolonged over time, as it initiates the process of skin rejuvenation and plumping. This treatment is also in high demand among men. DEFINITIVE EPILATION SOPRANO ICE This is the most advanced laser hair removal equipment of the moment to combat the reappearance of hair on any part of the body. The effectiveness of Soprano Ice technology is tested on every skin type, phototype and for any type of hair: this is possible thanks to the use of different wavelengths that make it adaptable to the specific needs of the patient. Unlike other laser hair removal treatments, which are not recommended during the summertime due to the risk of staining the epidermis, Soprano Ice is the only laser that can treat all skin phototypes, including tanned and black skin. It is therefore possible to perform the treatment at any time of the year, without any contraindications. An additional peculiarity of this permanent hair removal system is the absence of pain and burning during the session, thanks to the effective cooling system. In fact, Soprano Ice uses an advanced cooling technique for the skin, which decreases the temperature of the skin during the entire session, minimizing the risk of burns and keeping the heat in the dermis where the hair follicles are treated. Treatments are super-fast, even for large areas such as the legs and back where they take a maximum of six minutes. ACCENT PRIME One of the most effective and long-lasting remedies to combat the imperfections of cellulite, water retention and localized fat deposits, not only at the surface level, is Accent prime radiofrequency. Radiofrequency is an innovation in the field of electro-thermal aesthetic treatments, and is a treatment whose purpose is to increase the temperature of the water contained in the tissues; the heat released causes the contraction of elastic fibers and collagen, giving an effective toning effect. Accent Prime actually improves blood circulation in the treated areas, promoting drainage of extracellular fluids and stimulating collagen production. After the first session, in fact, the skin immediately appears more hydrated, toned and elastic. Radiofrequency treatment is highly recommended in particular because it is painless, highly effective and safe for all types of patients. Accent radiofrequency can be performed on patients with any phototype, from the lightest to the darkest, even on the most delicate areas, such as the neck and décolleté.
