FACELIFT 

SMAS

Facelift SMAS means pulling the deeper layers of the skin, which allows for better lifting of the skin and a more permanent effect. The surgical incision leads from the hairy part of the temporal bone down past the earlobe and continues to the crease behind the auricle. The resulting scar, if any, is then only noticeable as a discreet line in the area of the temporal bone and behind the auricle. The average surgery time is 2 hours. Facelift SMAS is often combined with neck lift SMAS for long lasting and natural results. The surgery is done under general anaesthesia and the results last approximately 10 years.

MACS

The MACS lift, or Minimal Access Cranial Suspension lift, is an innovative procedure designed to correct sagging neck and facial skin.

Developed in Belgium as an alternative to the typically more invasive traditional rhytidectomy, or facelift, the MACS lift generally boasts a smaller, nearly invisible scar; shorter recovery time; reduced tissue dissection; and less chance of nerve damage and bleeding.

Whereas the traditional facelift typically stretches the skin, the MACS lift targets tissues at a deeper level, lifting lax facial muscles, and usually requires only a modest excision of skin. Tension is applied subcutaneously and vertically, with very little borne by the skin itself. After the tissues are lifted, they are secured in place to the deep fascia by means of strong, permanent sutures. The procedure ordinarily requires relatively small incisions, located in front of the ear and extending along the hairline, with which the scar blends, making it nearly undetectable.

Performed on an outpatient basis, the MACS lift usually takes around two to three hours to perform and is carried out under general anaesthesia. The procedure typically results in a long lasting and remarkably natural appearance.

SILHOUETTE LIFT

Silhouette lift is a minimally invasive technique that uses sutures to heal the face. It is recommended for the elevation and fixation of the midface, brow and neck, giving you a fresh look, with full facial movement and expression. Our surgeons use the threads to give tailor-made results, lifting specific parts of the face. In comparison with surgical facelift the recovery time is very fast and the results usually last 18 months. Silhouette lift is done under analgosedation or general anaesthesia.

NECK LIFT

Neck lift is a surgical procedure that improves visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck area and gives you natural elasticity via removing excess skin or fat. Incisions are made in the fold under the chin and behind the ear, so the scar is hidden and not visible. Excess fat may be removed by liposuction and the underlying muscles are tightened and secured with stitches. The skin is tightened and joined together for a smoother neck profile.

POST PROCEDURE CARE

The incision is covered by a full head bandage for 2-3 days. The stitches are self-absorbent and do not need to be removed. Office work is possible after 1 week from the surgery. Symptoms such as swelling of the face, bruising around the eyes and on the neck and a slight fever can occur following surgery.
