Face - Neck Lift

The smash lift is the most common facelift technique applied to the face and neck. We not only suture the skin, but also the tissues below it, the so-called myoaponeurotic system. At the neck, we pull and fasten the muscular plate with stitches. The incision begins at the hairline of the temporal area of the face (skin-hair boundary) and proceeds down in front of the ear and ends behind the ear and into the hairline. Post-operatively, we keep the suture for 3 days and remove the sutures for the area in front of the ear at 7 days and the area behind the ear at 14 days. The return to everyday life takes place after 15 days. It can also be combined with blepharoplasty.

The ideal age for a smash lift is usually after 48, always depending on the level of sagging.

The lifting of the middle third of the face mainly focuses on the area of the cheekbones and the lower eyelid, while it also corrects the nasolabial folds. The midfacelift is addressed to younger ages, between 40 and 50 years old. The incision is very small, a few centimeters long, and can be made on the outside of the lower eyelid or in the area of the temple. It can be combined with lower eyelid surgery.

In face lifting for men, the same technique is followed as for women. We are extremely careful to make less obvious incisions, and this is because men mostly have short hair. We should not pull the sideburns up too much, so as not to give the impression of deformity.

In the facelift for men, we are particularly careful in removing tissue because men bleed more than women.

The neck lift is a surgical procedure to treat the flaccidity and intense age-related wrinkling of the neck as well as the ""double jaw"".

The neck lifting smoothes, tightens, and improves the signs of aging, severe weight loss, genetic predisposition, the ""tech neck"" phenomenon and extensive sun exposure.
