Facelift surgery is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve visible signs of ageing in the face. It involves lifting and repositioning facial tissues, tightening underlying structures when appropriate, and removing excess skin to create a smoother and more youthful appearance.

Natural-Looking Rejuvenation: Restore youthful facial contours while preserving natural facial expressions. Improved Jawline Definition: Reduce sagging skin and jowls for a more defined lower face. Reduction of Deep Facial Folds: Improve the appearance of nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Lifting of Sagging Facial Tissues: Reposition descended facial structures for improved facial harmony. Long-Lasting Results: Surgical improvements can remain visible for many years, although natural ageing continues. Personalised Surgical Approach: Treatment tailored to individual facial anatomy and aesthetic expectations.

Facelift surgery primarily addresses the midface and lower face, including sagging cheeks, jowls, deep facial folds, and loss of jawline definition. A neck lift may be performed alongside a facelift to address loose neck skin and improve the transition between the face and neck.

Modern facelift techniques aim to restore facial contours while maintaining natural facial expressions. By repositioning deeper tissues rather than simply stretching the skin, surgeons can achieve a refreshed appearance without an excessively tight or artificial look. Results vary between patients.

The cost varies depending on the patient’s case and desired outcome. General price starts from €5600

Facelift surgery typically takes approximately 2–5 hours, depending on the surgical technique, complexity, and whether additional procedures are performed.

The incisions are made at the hairline and around the ears, making them easy to hide. Over time, they fade and become almost invisible.

After a facelift, you will be able to enjoy a younger-looking face for around ten years.

1 to 2 days in the hospital are usually enough after facelift surgery

There is no specific ideal age for facelift surgery. Many patients consider the procedure between their 40s and 70s, although suitability depends more on facial anatomy, skin condition, degree of ageing, general health, and individual goals than chronological age.

A mini facelift generally involves less extensive surgical dissection and focuses on mild to moderate sagging, particularly around the lower face and jawline. A full facelift addresses more significant facial ageing and may involve more extensive repositioning of deeper facial tissues. The most suitable technique depends on individual needs.

Facelift surgery may be combined with neck lift surgery, blepharoplasty, brow lift surgery, or facial fat grafting, depending on the patient's needs. Combining procedures may offer more comprehensive rejuvenation, but it can also increase surgical complexity and recovery requirements.

Initial improvements become visible as swelling and bruising decrease over the first several weeks. Facial contours continue to settle over the following months, with more mature results generally becoming apparent within approximately 3–6 months. Scar maturation can take longer.
