[Care and optimal management of the face- and neck-lift patients].
Annales de Chirurgie Plastique et Esthétique 2017 October
Surgical and case management for patients demanding a face- and neck-lift are very important. The purpose of this paper is to help the plastic surgeons with information and recommendations useful for the best medical care of patients requiring a face- and neck-lift. The first consultation is the most important contact with the patient. The preoperative discussion helps to define patient demands and to evaluate eventual contraindications for surgery. The clinical exam and patient requirements are useful in the construction of the therapeutic proposition. This proposition is then confronted with patients' expectations and demands. The confrontation between the surgical proposition and patients' expectations allows to evaluate if it is appropriate, or not, to operate. At the end of the first consultation, the patient receives the information sheets of the French Plastic Surgery Society (SOFCPRE) according to the proposed surgical treatment. The second consultation makes it possible to verify the pertinence of the surgical act, to reiterate the preoperative recommendations, to confirm that the information given to the patient was well understood and to obtain the written consent from the patient. The written consent should include the fact that the patient received the information sheets of the SOFCPRE, that they were read and understood, and that the surgeon has transmitted the necessary information in order for the patient to take an informed and free decision to pursue with the surgery. The follow-up after surgery is as important as the surgery itself. In some cases, cosmetic gestures can be performed in the following months to obtain the best results possible and the highest satisfaction. The face- and neck-lift is an "adventure" for the patients and the postoperative difficulties should not be underestimated. However, the caring and professional support of the plastic surgeon and the support of someone of the patients' entourage can help the patient overcome this stage, and obtain a maximum benefit after this operation.
