HOW MODERN BIOTECHNOLOGY REDUCES BRUISING, SWELLING AND SPEEDS HEALING AFTER A FACE AND NECK LIFT
By admin | June 2, 2009
The aim of every cosmetic surgeon is to deliver a surgical result that is not only satisfactory to the patient, but is not a burden in terms of prolonged healing. It is important for people to be able to return to work and normal duties as quickly as possible. Towards that aim, we have used a modern biotechnology advance that aids in healing below the surface. Since it is very important for the skin to reattach to the underlying tissues following a face and neck lift, with minimal swelling and bruising, any help that we can get from the research labs is appreciated. Platelet-rich plasma is an example of modern biotechnology aiding healing.
While the patient is asleep, blood is withdrawn and processed such that prior to the conclusion of the operation, just before the final stitches are placed, the undersurface of the skin and deeper tissues are sprayed with an extract from the blood. This extract is rich in certain biological factors, which reduces bruising, minimizes swelling and most importantly speeds the “welding” of the tissue together which translates to faster healing.
