Facelift for Patients from Frankfurt am Main

The surgery is performed under general (inhalation) anaesthesia, and you won’t feel pain. For the first few days, discomfort and tightness are possible; medication prescribed by your doctor relieves them.

Yes. The first 7–10 days require rest, a compression bandage and reduced physical activity. Bruising and swelling fade within 2–4 weeks; full recovery takes about 2 months. The operating surgeon follows you up throughout the first year.

In a standard (skin-only) lift, only the top skin layer is affected and the effect is short-lived. A SMAS facelift is a deeper operation — the surgeon works on the muscle and fascia layer of the face, lifting tissues at the cause rather than the effect, for a natural and lasting outcome.

One surgery provides a complete result. A repeat procedure may be performed after 7–10 years if the patient wishes.

Generally, surgery is advised for patients aged 40+ with marked sagging of the tissues, and in some cases from 35. An individual recommendation follows an examination.
