美丽是上天赐予的，保持美丽是自己精心呵护的，每个人都想拥有一副完美的面孔。随着现代医学技术的进步，医学整容开始风靡，越来越多的人参与其中。但是，对于医学整容，你了解多少，其实问题的关键在于，你必须要清楚地认识以下几个方面的内容：整形美容是具有风险性的；医学整容次数不能太多；不能一味模仿；整容后不会保证保持一辈子。
What is face-lifting
什么是整容
A facelift, technically known as a rhytidectomy （literally, surgical removal of wrinkles）, is a type of cosmetic surgery procedure used to give a more youthful appearance. It usually involves the removal of excess facial skin, with or without the tightening of underlying tissues, and the redraping of the skin on the patient's face and neck.
According to the most recent 2008 statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, facelifts were the sixth most popular aesthetic surgery performed after liposuction, breast augmentation, blepharoplasty （eyelid surgery）, abdominoplasty （tummy tuck）, breast reduction, and rhinoplasty.
The most common complication can be bleeding which usually requires a return to the operating room. Less common, but potentially serious, complications may include damage to the facial nerves and necrosis of the skin flaps, or infection.
Contraindications to facelift surgery include severe concomitant medical problems. While not absolute contraindications, the risk of postoperative complications is increased in cigarette smokers and patients with hypertension and diabetes. Patients are typically asked to abstain from taking aspirin or other blood thinners for at least one week prior to surgery.

医学整容（medical face-lifting）是通过外科手术（surgery）改善外貌（appearance），以增强自信（confidence）。整容通常指脸部整型（facial cosmetic surgery），包括割双眼皮（double eyelid operation）、隆鼻（hump nose）、嫩唇、造酒窝（dimple）、矫正牙齿（straightening of teeth）、除皱（wrinkle de-crease）、除痘、种睫毛、脱毛（depilation）等。在日本和韩国，整容是一件很平常的事，整容医生也很多。整容以女性为主，但近年也多了男性整容。
