Facial Rejuvenation
When the illustrious poet, Ruben Darío, wrote: “Youth, divine treasure, you are leaving never to return!” Kintsugi Plastic Surgery did not yet exist and facial rejuvenation was just beginning.
Facial rejuvenation surgery is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in Europe, the USA, and Canada.
Facial rejuvenation surgery is a very rewarding procedure because, as we've mentioned before, it turns back the clock on aging and can drastically rejuvenate us. This physical change brings about other changes in a person's well-being. Every day we see our face, and every day other people see our face. Seeing ourselves with a rejuvenated face fills us with energy and vigor. But it also makes others see us as more energetic and vigorous. This prevents them from treating us like elderly people. It prevents them from thinking we've passed out and that we're running out of energy, whether it's our grandchildren at home, for example, or our colleagues in our professional lives. A clear example is one of the US presidents , who has undergone this procedure. But many other personalities have also had it, such as the renowned fashion designer Marc Jacobs, who made his procedure a viral event by documenting the entire process in real time on social media, or the famous artist Sia, whose life was positively impacted by it.

There is often some apprehension about undergoing this surgery due to the unpromising results circulating in the media. Unfortunately, the media often publicize the fewer but more sensational accidents rather than the more frequent but less successful ones.

Our bodies are important, but our faces are fundamental to our interaction with society. That's why, after the First World War, those poor, disfigured soldiers (known as the "face-broken" ) had a difficult time in society, being repulsed by the citizens they had defended. This marked the beginning of facial rejuvenation surgery.
Over the past 100 years, there have been major advances and improvements, resulting in stunning and beautiful results. At Kintsugi, we use the deep plane technique, and our founding surgeon is a member of the HUGS, Help Us Give Smiles, foundation, alongside eminent surgeons such as Andrew Jacobo, who developed the Marc Jacobs procedure, and Ben Talei, who developed the Sia procedure.

It is a surgery that, like all other procedures in plastic surgery and medicine in general, carries risks. These risks are rare when the procedure is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon. Among the risks, there may be, in less than 1% of cases, injury to the facial nerve, resulting in facial paralysis. If this occurs, in most cases it is a temporary condition that recovers within four months. There may also be complications related to the scar, although the scar is generally imperceptible.
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you return home the same day. It takes 5 to 8 hours to complete, depending on the desired results. Pain after the procedure is mild and short-lived. The procedure is performed under deep sedation monitored by an anesthesiologist. Return to daily activities is rapid, and you can resume activities after approximately 2 weeks.
The price range starts at $6500 USD (this includes pre- and post-procedure consultations, operating room use and consumables during the procedure, surgical and anesthetic team fees, and medications during recovery) and will be determined by the treatment plan suggested by your plastic, aesthetic, and reconstructive surgeon. As we know, not all dresses fit all bodies. At Kintsugi, we don't aim for generic results: we think like artists, plan like architects, and execute like engineers. Just like with a dress, the result of your treatment is what people will see when they meet you. It's an investment in yourself.
At Kintsugi we may not add years to your life, but we will add life to your years!
