When a patient reports feeling that they look “always tired” or notices a heavy gaze that doesn’t reflect their true energy, the solution is rarely found in a single localized procedure. Instead, it requires a three-dimensional and regenerative approach.
In this in-depth video, Prof. Alessandro Gennai analyzes an exemplary clinical case of facial rejuvenation achieved through the MIVEL 3 protocol, the most advanced frontier in minimally invasive surgery.
The Problem: Heavy Gaze and Loss of Definition
The patient presented the classic signs of tissue aging:
- Sagging of the eyebrow and the eye line.
- Volume loss in the malar (cheek) and zygomatic region.
- Loss of definition along the jawline.
The Solution: Why MIVEL 3?
Unlike a traditional facelift, the MIVEL 3 endoscopic lift allows for intervention through invisible micro-incisions. In this specific case, the procedure was not limited to the eyes; it was extended to achieve a repositioning of the mid-face volumes and a natural tightening of the jawline.
The main advantage? Zero scarring and total respect for the patient’s original features.
Synergy of Techniques: Mini Pinch and Seffiller®
To optimize the result and ensure harmony, Prof. Gennai integrated two fundamental procedures:
- Mini Pinch Technique: Applied to the lower eyelid to remove excess skin without altering the shape of the eye, which maintains its natural almond or foxy eyes shape.
- SEFFILLER® Regenerative Therapy: To complete the structural rejuvenation, regenerative medicine using the patient’s own stem cells was utilized. This step is crucial for restoring the skin’s radiance and tone—qualities that surgery alone cannot provide.
Results and Recovery
The procedure was performed under sedation on a Day Hospital basis, avoiding general anesthesia. As seen in the “before and after” footage in the video, the face appears rested, volumes have been restored, and the skin has regained its firmness, all with an extremely rapid recovery time.
