Maybe you've used various facial rejuvenation products, makeup, and other techniques to tighten your face, trying to camouflage the effects of aging. However, in later stages of life, even these efforts may not be helpful. If you're dissatisfied with your reflection in the mirror and wish to turn back the clock, Dr. Colic Aesthetic Surgery Clinic offers you the opportunity to fulfill that desire.

Given that today's techniques, technologies, and science (including medicine) have advanced significantly, there is almost nothing we cannot change about ourselves. When it comes to facial rejuvenation, there are various methods to achieve a youthful appearance, with one of the most popular being facelift surgery.

What does the facelift method for facial rejuvenation involve?

Almost every aesthetic surgery clinic provides numerous methods for facial tightening, correcting asymmetry, rejuvenating, and enhancing beauty by eliminating various imperfections or deformities. Some of these methods are non-invasive or minimally invasive, providing satisfactory results for a certain period, while others involve more demanding and complex processes for facial tightening, ensuring long-lasting effects and numerous possibilities for correcting facial irregularities. One of these methods is facelift surgery.

This is an operative procedure that utilizes state-of-the-art techniques for facial rejuvenation, providing the most effective results in terms of facial tightening. A facelift is essentially a surgery that lifts the sagging muscles and skin of the face and neck, thereby removing or alleviating signs of aging! After this aesthetic procedure, your face becomes rejuvenated by up to 10 years, with clearer facial contours and an overall healthier appearance, and these effects last for a minimum of 5 years (in many cases even longer).

The most modern techniques used in this procedure are surgical in nature, and along with the facelift method for facial tightening, corrections to the eyelids, facial liposculpture, or surface peeling treatments using dermabrasion, chemical agents, or lasers are often performed simultaneously.

What is the surgical technique for facial tightening using the facelift method?

In our aesthetic surgery clinic, the surgical technique we employ involves incisions made along the hairline on the temples, extending just along the earlobe – in front of or behind it or even below the earlobe, ensuring that the scars are almost imperceptible. After releasing the facial and neck skin, excess skin is removed, and subcutaneous tissues are tightened to achieve longer-lasting results. In some cases, it may be necessary to perform facial liposuction to remove fat accumulated under the chin and neck to achieve the most beautiful results for facial rejuvenation.

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, and the entire process takes between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the type of surgery or the facial tightening technique being applied. Nowadays, various techniques for facial rejuvenation exist, some of which fall into the category of mini-lifts, such as the S-lift, temple lift, neck lift, and others, while others, like a complete facelift, are more demanding, and therefore, the surgery takes longer.

Recovery after surgery doesn't take long – bandages and drains are removed after one or two days, allowing for hair washing, and stitches are removed between the first and tenth day after surgery. Rare complications associated with facelift surgery (swelling, bruising, and numbness of the facial skin) disappear within about 7 days.

Since no two faces are the same, an individual approach to each patient is necessary to achieve a harmonious and natural, yet rejuvenated facial appearance that will boost your confidence and give you new energy! The first and essential step in realizing your dreams of a rejuvenated appearance is to precisely define your desires, made possible through a consultation with the selected surgeon.
