Face lift

Age and the effects of gravity can appear on your face in the form of creases, wrinkles or sagging skin. A face lift will rejuvenate your face, while preserving your identity. It makes it possible to correct areas of your face that have lost their firmness and restore sharpness to your features. The area between the cheekbones and the jaw is therefore transformed, while the previous position of the ears is retained for a perfectly natural result.

During your consultation, Dr Schlaudraff will ask you to describe what you would like to improve about your face, and help you decide on the appropriate procedure to meet with your expectations.

Dr Schlaudraff carries out face lifts mainly under general anaesthetic, in Concept Clinic’s state-of-the-art surgery centre, which meets with the highest standards of comfort, safety and hygiene. The operation consists of tightening loose facial muscles and removing excess fat and/or skin. The lift takes between two and four hours, depending on the work to be done. The surgeon will conceal the incisions beneath the hairline and along the natural creases of the face, in order to make the traces of the operation as discreet as possible.

For an optimum recovery, you should remain at home for one to two days after your face lift. In order to minimise swelling, the head must be constantly elevated during the first few days. You will be able to resume mild activities within ten to fifteen days after the operation, and physical and sporting activities after approximately four weeks.

Complementary procedures to face lift

In addition to conventional facial aesthetic surgery procedures, Concept Clinic offers a state-of-the-art facial remodelling technique that involves the grafting of stem cell-enriched fat. Dr Schlaudraff provides the finishing touches to the results of a facelift by recreating volume, if necessary, in the cheekbones, temples, chin or other areas of the face, using fat from another part of the body, processed and reinjected into the desired area of the face. The technique used, stem cell-enriched lipostructure, maximises the survival of the transplanted cells, for a lasting and natural rejuvenation.
