Facelifting

Over time, our facial structures undergo changes. Wrinkles form, the skin thins and the contours of the face can recede, resulting in an older appearance.

Ageing is a natural process that is unfortunately difficult to slow down. However, facial rejuvenation can be considered an investment in oneself, as it both improves one’s outward appearance and increases one’s inner self-esteem. There are various facial rejuvenation procedures that can be performed on different areas of the face, such as the eyes, cheeks or neck.

Procedure

Appropriate anaesthesia is chosen at the beginning of the procedure to minimise pain during the procedure. Dr Adžemović makes careful incisions along the natural skin lines to remove excess skin and fatty tissue. The underlying layers of tissue are tightened and repositioned for a more youthful appearance. Dr Adžemović takes special care to achieve a natural result and to take into account the patient’s individual facial features.

The incisions are then closed with fine sutures and Dr Adžemović gives clear instructions for aftercare. Regular follow-up with Dr Adžemović is important to monitor the healing process and discuss any questions or concerns. The final results of a face lift are usually visible after a few weeks, and many patients report improved self-confidence and a younger appearance.

FAQ

A facelift, also known as a face lift, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, tightens the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) and repositions the tissues to achieve a rejuvenated and firmer facial appearance.

A facelift is suitable for people who have signs of sagging skin, wrinkling and loss of volume in the face and are striving for a younger, fresher appearance. It is important that the patient is in good health and has realistic expectations of the result.

The healing process after a face lift can vary from individual to individual, but it usually takes about 2-3 weeks for most visible traces of the operation to fade. However, it can take several months before the final results become visible and the scars fade.

The results of a facelift can be long-lasting, but the natural ageing process cannot be stopped. Most patients report that they benefit from the results for many years and maintain a rejuvenated appearance. A healthy lifestyle, including sun protection and skin care, can help maintain the results for longer.

Types of facelift

A forehead lift is an aesthetic procedure designed to tighten and smooth the area of the face above the eyebrows. Over time, age-related changes such as sagging skin and deep wrinkles can develop here, affecting the overall appearance. A brow lift can correct these signs of ageing for a rejuvenated and refreshed appearance.

The procedure can be performed minimally invasively using the endoscopic technique, where small incisions are made at the hairline to lift the forehead area. In cases of more pronounced excess skin, incisions can also be made in the hairy scalp area to remove extra skin and achieve a more comprehensive lift.

The midfacelift is an aesthetic procedure that aims to tighten and rejuvenate the midface area. With age, visible signs of ageing can develop here, such as deep nasolabial folds (the wrinkles between the nose and the corners of the mouth) and sagging tissue, often resulting in a tired and weary appearance.

During a midfacelift, the tissues under the cheeks and eyes are lifted and repositioned to restore lost contours and create a fresher facial volume. The skin is gently tightened to reduce wrinkles and achieve a youthful appearance without creating an overly tight or unnatural look.

The lower facelift is a surgical procedure that aims to tighten and rejuvenate the lower part of the face. Over time, age-related changes such as sagging skin, pronounced wrinkles along the jaw (marionette lines) and sunken cheeks can develop in this area, making the face appear tired and aged.

During a lower facelift, excess skin is removed, facial muscles are tightened and tissues are repositioned to restore lost contours. This results in an overall younger and firmer appearance in the area of the chin, cheeks and neck. The result is a natural and harmonious rejuvenation that does not look overly “operated”.

The neck lift is a surgical procedure that aims to tighten and rejuvenate the neck area. Over time, age-related changes such as sagging skin, excess fatty tissue and vertical wrinkles can develop in this area, negatively affecting the appearance of the neck.

During a neck lift, excess skin and fatty tissue are removed, muscles are tightened and tissues are repositioned to achieve a tighter and slimmer neck contour. This results in a more youthful and defined appearance of the neck and can also improve the appearance of the lower jaw.

The thread lift is a minimally invasive method for skin tightening and facial rejuvenation. Special threads made of absorbable material are inserted into the skin to lift and tighten sagging tissue. The thread lift is particularly effective in treating wrinkles, sagging cheeks and sagging skin on the face, neck and other areas of the body.
