With the modern facelift method favoured by us, hair-thin incisions are placed unnoticeably along the base of the ear, i.e., on the front and back of the ear. Since the scars run along the natural hairline and anatomical structures such as the auricle, they are almost invisible later.
The fatty and connective tissue are carefully tightened and reshaped with targeted suturing techniques to restore the full, youthful volume of the cheek area and midface. In addition, slack neck muscles are tightened and excess fatty tissue on the chin is gently reduced.
A facelift can be combined with other procedures, such as an injection of autologous fat; eliminating wrinkles with hyaluronic acid; a medical deep peeling (phenol peeling); a temple or forehead lift; an upper and lower eyelid lift.
A single facelift procedure lasts about three hours and is performed on an outpatient basis under local anaesthetic. On request, a general anaesthetic and a one or two-day inpatient stay in the clinic are also possible. The stitches are removed two weeks after the facelift.
