Facelift and necklift

A facelift is a cosmetic surgery procedure for all mature patients looking to achieve a natural, refreshed and youthful look.

It is performed on patients who are no longer getting the desired result from conventional non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers, Botox, radio-frequency therapy, etc.

The history of a facelift dates back to ancient Egypt, and today it has become synonymous with cosmetic surgery.

In the hands of a skilled cosmetic surgeon, facelifting is a very powerful and effective weapon in the fight against the fine lines on the face and neck that come with age.

“It is important to achieve a natural-looking result in order to preserve the patient’s ability to show emotions through facial expressions,” says doc. Milenović, our cosmetic surgeon, while adding: “Complex anatomy, modern aesthetic demands, and unbelievable progress made in cosmetic surgery, coupled with the fact that the face is the most visible part of the body, have made facelifting the greatest challenge of every cosmetic surgeon.”

About the procedure

A facelift is a surgical procedure that lifts and tightens sagging skin and underlying tissues on the face and neck. This highly efficient procedure can take ten years off your appearance, while preserving the natural look in line with today’s standards of beauty.

The best results have been observed in the middle and lower thirds of the face and around the edge of the jaw, where the lost chin line is emphasised again and a smoother transition of the face towards the neck is achieved.

Facial skin gets the most exposure – from harsh weather conditions to other harmful environmental effects, which makes it age faster than other parts of the body.

While other parts of the body are covered up with clothes, our face is there for everybody to see, which means that even the slightest changes can have a big impact on us.

The first visible signs of ageing are loss of elasticity and sagging of the skin, the appearance of fine lines, the deepening of natural creases and changing of our facial contours.

The modern facelift procedure helps to remove and soften those changes with great efficiency.

Candidates

There is no optimal time for a facelift, but patients are typically in their 50s and 60s, the age when the face and neck start showing clear signs of ageing and sagging skin.

These are the factors that determine a good candidate for a facelift.

The procedure is highly effective and efficient, and can take ten years off a patient’s appearance, while preserving the natural look in line with today’s standards of beauty.
