Book a consultationHow it works
An agreed surgical plan, inpatient monitoring and follow-up by your surgeon for a year.
1The surgeon examines you, assesses the degree of sagging and the areas to correct, and explains the surgery and recovery. The first consultation is free and can start online.
2We book a date that suits you. The scope of surgery and the final price are fixed in the contract — no hidden extras.
3You complete the check-up prescribed by the surgeon and see the anaesthetist. The specialists assess your health and readiness for surgery.
4Under general (inhalation) anaesthesia the surgeon lifts and secures the SMAS layer, redrapes the skin and removes the excess. Incisions are hidden along the hairline and around the ears.
5After surgery you stay in a comfortable inpatient room with meals, under 24/7 monitoring by medical staff.
6For the first 7–10 days — rest, a compression bandage and reduced physical activity. Your operating surgeon follows you up for the whole first year.

For the first 7–10 days you need rest, a compression bandage and reduced physical activity. For the first few days you may feel discomfort and tightness, which are relieved with medication prescribed by your doctor.
Swelling and bruising fade in 2–4 weeks, and full recovery takes about 2 months. The first clear changes appear once the swelling goes down, after 3–4 weeks; the face takes on its final look within 3–6 months. Your operating surgeon follows you up for the whole first year.

FAQ
It is a face lift that tightens the deep SMAS layer under the skin, not only the skin itself, so the lower face, jawline and neck become firmer. The result is long-term, while natural skin ageing continues.
You won’t feel any pain — the surgery is done under general (inhalation) anaesthesia. For the first few days there may be discomfort and tightness, which your doctor’s prescribed medication relieves.
The first clear changes appear once the swelling goes down, after 3–4 weeks. The face takes on its final look within 3–6 months. The result of a surgical SMAS facelift is long-term, while natural skin ageing continues.
Yes. For 7–10 days at the start: rest, a compression bandage and reduced physical activity. Swelling and bruising fade in 2–4 weeks; recovering fully takes about 2 months. You are followed up by your operating surgeon for the whole first year.
Yes. Often a surgical facelift is combined with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), rhinoplasty or double-chin liposuction. How extensive the combined procedure is, the surgeon decides at the consultation.
Payment is made in full before the procedure. If you would like to spread the cost, you can take out a loan with your own bank and pay the full amount with it.
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 gives a complete result. Whether a repeat correction is ever needed is individual and is decided by the surgeon at an examination.
As a rule, surgery is recommended for patients aged 40+ with marked tissue sagging, and in some cases from 35. The recommendation is given individually after an examination.
Book a free consultation. The surgeon will examine you, assess the type and degree of ageing, explain the expected result and answer all your questions.
City Medical Centre performs surgical facelifts only. The surgeon tailors the scope of surgery at the consultation, after assessing the changes and explaining every stage. The skin, subcutaneous fat and the SMAS layer (muscles and ligaments) are corrected layer by layer, so the face looks natural, without an “overdone” effect, and the result is long-term — while natural skin ageing continues.
After 40–50 the skin slowly loses firmness, with visible tissue sagging, jowls, a blurred jawline and drooping cheeks. The surgical SMAS facelift works at a deeper level than cosmetology: by repositioning the muscle and fascia layer it treats the cause of sagging rather than its effects and gives a lasting result even with significant changes.

The operation works on three levels. The skin flap is lifted, redraped and the excess removed, so the surface lies smoothly without tension. Fat in the cheeks and lower face is redistributed to restore volume and remove heaviness. Finally, the SMAS layer of muscles and ligaments is lifted and secured, which is the key step. For patients in Sarajevo, this layered approach gives a long-term, natural-looking result.
It starts with a free consultation: the surgeon examines you, assesses the type and degree of ageing and the areas to correct, explains the expected result and answers your questions. Then the scope of surgery is defined and one of four facelift types is chosen. For patients from Sarajevo, every stage is explained in advance, with no pushing and no pressure to decide on the spot.
The price starts at BAM 4,200 (≈ $2,400) and already covers the essentials: anaesthesia, the inpatient stay with meals, round-the-clock monitoring and a year of surgeon follow-up until the final result. The first consultation is free: send your name and phone number, and a coordinator will contact you.
