The ageing process is mostly visible on the face: deep nasolabial folds, dropping cheeks, sagging jowls, tissue slackening under the chin, wrinkles around the mouth area – years pass by leaving their mark with these typical age-related facial changes and literally make us look old. However, if our well-being is duly affected by an increased imbalance of reflection and self-image and non-surgical procedures like Botulinum, wrinkle fillers or laser treatment do not suffice, tissue firming methods must be used. A facelift can effectively correct the ageing process of your skin and restore a natural and youthful, fresher looking appearance. By tightening the skin and facial muscles unattractive wrinkles disappear and optimal and long-lasting results are ensured.

Based on examination and your individual aesthetic needs I will help you choose the best facial rejuvenation that is right for you. A facelift can rejuvenate targeted areas or it can be performed on the entire face. Quite often, additional treatments such as chemical peels or wrinkle fillers are performed to complement the overall rejuvenation.

Depending on the degree of skin laxity either a complete neck- or facelift or a mini lift can be considered. While the neck- or facelift offers a comprehensive contour lift of the cheeks and neck, the mini lift is suitable for patients who desire partial corrections and is restricted to removal or tightening sagging skin in the cheeks. In addition, a liposuction can also be performed to harmonize transitions.

Facelifts are very individualized procedures and given their complexities detailed questions can only be discussed in person during a consultation.

The procedure is usually performed under general anaesthetic or sedation and lasts 2-5 hours. After surgery your face will be wrapped in bandages for the first 48 hours to minimize swelling and bruising. It is recommended to apply ice in the first few days. Stitches will be removed after 8 days and work can be resumed after 2 weeks.
