Facelift in Berlin from $2,400

General (inhalation) anaesthesia is used, so the surgery is painless. You may feel some discomfort and tightness for the first few days; medication prescribed by your doctor relieves it.

The first clear changes show after 3–4 weeks, when swelling goes down; the final look of the face arrives within 3–6 months. With a surgical SMAS facelift the effect lasts 7–10 years.

Yes. You'll need rest, a compression bandage and lower physical activity for the first 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising fade over 2–4 weeks, with full recovery in about 2 months. The operating surgeon follows you up for the whole first year.

A single operation gives a complete result, and a repeat procedure may be done after 7–10 years at the patient's request.

Surgery is, as a rule, recommended at 40+ with marked tissue sagging — in some cases from 35. After an examination, the recommendation is given individually.
