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.
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 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. 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.
Yes. A surgical facelift is commonly combined with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), rhinoplasty or double-chin liposuction, and the surgeon decides the scope of the combined procedure 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.
The standard (skin-only) lift involves just the top layer of skin and gives an effect that is short-lived. A SMAS facelift means deeper surgery: working on the facial muscle and fascia layer, the surgeon lifts tissues at the cause rather than the effect. The outcome is natural and lasting.
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 made individually after an examination.
Book a free consultation. The surgeon will examine you, assess how and how much you are 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 gradually loses firmness: tissues sag noticeably, jowls form, the jawline blurs and the cheeks droop. A surgical SMAS facelift works deeper than cosmetology — it repositions the muscle and fascia layer, treating the cause of sagging rather than its effects, so it gives a lasting result even with significant changes.

What is the difference between a standard and a SMAS facelift? A skin-only lift affects just the top layer and gives a short-lived effect. A SMAS facelift is deeper surgery: the surgeon lifts and secures the facial muscle and fascia layer, addressing weakened ligaments and descended muscles. For anyone researching a facelift in Warsaw, that depth is what makes the outcome natural and long-lasting.
On the day of surgery you are under combined inhalation anaesthesia, so there is no pain. The surgeon works through incisions hidden along the hairline and around the ears, lifts the skin, redistributes fat and secures the SMAS layer. Afterwards you stay in a comfortable inpatient room with meals and 24/7 monitoring by medical staff. The same care applies to everyone in Warsaw.
A facelift costs from PLN 9,400 (≈ $2,400). For patients from Warsaw, the price includes a one-to-one consultation, a highly experienced medical team, combined inhalation anaesthesia, a stay in comfortable inpatient rooms, 24/7 monitoring by medical staff, meals during your stay, personal support before and after surgery and a year of follow-up by your plastic surgeon.
