A facelift is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the face and reduces wrinkles. Many people no longer feel comfortable in their ageing face and look for modern facelifting methods from aesthetic-plastic surgery. The procedure is usually performed under general anaesthesia, with incisions made in inconspicuous locations to tighten the skin and remove excess tissue. Despite having a positive attitude towards ageing, medical procedures can help improve one's outer appearance. Before the facelift, a thorough examination is necessary to select the most suitable method.
In six steps, we accompany you from the first consultation to the final aftercare.
At Aesthetify, you are treated by experienced specialist doctors* who specialise in surgical facelifts.

Which techniques are used and which areas of the face they tighten.
A particularly effective method of facelifting is the so-called Deep Plane Facelift. With this technique, not only is the superficial skin tightened, but the deeper-lying tissue is also repositioned. This results in a long-lasting and profound lifting effect with very natural results.
In a technically straightforward, outpatient operation, an incision is made directly in front of and behind the ears. The resulting narrow scar fades after about 3 months and will be barely visible. Excess fatty tissue and slackened skin are tightened. The excellent rejuvenating effect leaves you looking fresh and youthful for the long term! This type of procedure is particularly suitable for patients whose skin ageing is not yet very advanced. The cheek area, drooping corners of the mouth, nasolabial folds and smaller areas are effectively tightened in the process.
Tightening the mid-face area corrects slack skin in the middle zone of the face, which particularly smooths nasolabial folds and wrinkles around the eyes.
The facelift in the lower face area is mainly aimed at tightening a slack cheek area and the neck.

Yes, a facelift can often be combined with other procedures. It is frequently performed together with an eyelid lift or supplemented with facial implants or lipofilling (the body's own fat). Depending on your wishes, our specialists can also combine the facelift with a rhinoplasty.
A facelift mainly tightens the middle to lower area of the face and should not be confused with a brow lift. Separate procedures are necessary to correct the forehead or eye area. A brow lift or an eyelid lift can be performed at the same time as a facelift to achieve more comprehensive results.
The result of a facelift lasts on average 8-10 years. The skin is tightened to create a youthful and firm appearance. Later on, a mini facelift can help maintain the result.
The incisions are made as inconspicuously as possible, usually along natural folds and behind the ear, so that they are not noticeable.
As with any operation, there are risks with a facelift too, although these occur very rarely. Possible risks include infections, bruising, nerve damage, anaesthesia complications, scarring and hair loss at the incision sites. Your surgeon will discuss these risks with you in detail.
