"I still felt younger than my age said," Drahoslava, 67, smiles broadly, and her radiant gaze says it all. Because if you were to guess her age today, you would most likely be "wrong" by ten years. At a minimum. In less than four months, she has rejuvenated her face and today she can't get enough of the change. After a consultation at the FRAIS Health and Beauty Institute, she decided to undergo a series of procedures that helped her to become more confident. "Today I finally look the way I really feel. Younger and happier," he adds.
Don't forget yourself
Drahoslava behaved as many of us do. In addition to her work and home life, she has spent her life caring for a daughter with a severe diagnosis. With all her duties and troubles, she had only a minimum of time to herself. The first facial wrinkles, which appeared in her 30s, were not addressed. Nor the others that have been added over time. In the first place, there was always someone else - until the moment came when she didn't recognize herself in the mirror. Her cheerful nature was suddenly bordered by wrinkles that mistook her natural playfulness for seriousness and sadness. She had heard about aesthetic procedures from every side, but all other things seemed to take priority over her own satisfaction. It wasn't until she was 67 that she realised that she deserved the best too. For someone, perhaps too late. But certainly not for the team of experienced experts at the FRAIS clinic.
Drahoslava had a consultation with the director and founder of the FRAIS Institute of Health and Beauty MUDr. Vanda Przewlocka, PhD. and the head of plastic surgery at the clinic, MUDr. Martin Dziuban. "In agreement with my colleagues and Mrs. Drahoslava, we opted for a vertical facelift from plastic surgery, which achieves a lift of the entire face, followed by a blepharoplasty and a facelift. Aesthetic medicine included lip modelling, rejuvenation of the wrinkle above the upper lip with a fractional laser, modelling of the eye and temple area and, due to an old lip tattoo that rather added to her age, its removal with a laser." explains the director of the clinics. Drahoslava also confirms that the transformation was successful: 'Immediately comments came in about what a young girl I am, how others like it. I feel more than great," she describes.
After posting the photos on Facebook, many did not believe that this was a real transformation. The result is truly stunning. The whole change took place from June to October.
Cooperation of professionals
"To tighten the skin and achieve a youthful appearance, we opted for a vertical facelift," says the deputy head of the surgical department, MUDr. Ondřej Belej. It is a lift of the entire face and neck in a vertical direction. The inconspicuous incision begins in the hairline, where it lifts the forehead and eyebrows, and continues in front of the ear and under the earlobe to behind the neck. It beautifully tightens the skin and fixes it against the fixed points on the head and face.
However, blepharoplasty of both the upper and lower eyelids was also necessary. "Blepharoplasty is the only and unique way to remove not only the skin overhangs of the upper and lower eyelids, but also the bags under the eyes, how to correct the preocular fat and the muscle instability of the eyelids," explains Dr. Dziuban, the primary surgeon of the surgical department. But since the upper eyelid was literally skeletonised and subsequent surgery would have accentuated the impression of a sunken eye, the volume was supplemented by lipografting, i.e. filling with the eye's own fat. "It is by adding volume to the upper eyelid that the result of blepharoplastyis enhanced, the skin is beautifully tightened and the eye is opened," adds Dr. Belej. Lipografitng was also used as a filling material in one of the cheeks to achieve symmetry. Lipografting is now one of the desirable and safe methods of transferring one's own fat from one place to another. It is used to correct or accentuate the necessary volume and can be used literally from head to toe.
From plastic corrections, Mrs. Drahoslava also had a liplift. It is a lifting and accentuation of the upper lip, which is achieved thanks to a fine incision under the nose and then off.
Fine corrections
These adjustments were followed by only subtle aesthetic corrections, which enhanced the newly emerging youthful appearance. The effect of wrinkles was further reduced by applying hyaluronic acid (which is the body's own) to the temple area and B T X to the eye area, forehead and those of the neck muscles.
Mrs. Drahoslava once accentuated her lips with tattoos, but nowadays this procedure has added years to her life. Therefore, as part of the transformation, dermatologist MUDr. Lucia Michael removed the tattoo with a laser and then used a fractional laser to tighten and rejuvenate the entire upper lip area, especially the wrinkles above it.
As Drahoslava says today, there's really no reason to be afraid of change, let alone aesthetic treatments - especially if they're performed by professionals in their field: "The result, and the feeling afterwards, is really worth everything."
