The "Wellness Minilift" is a popular procedure with our young patients.
No general anaesthesia, but very light sedation.

The Wellness Minilift is a technical improvement of the Mini-facelift, also called Minilift, Weekend-lift or S-lift.

The Wellness Minilift is natural rejuvenating, quick and very good value!
It is a one hour procedure and requires local anesthetic.
You can quickly return home and you’ll enjoy the result within two weeks!

The Wellness Minilift doesn’t just correct the skin, but also the muscles, the subcutaneous fat and the connective tissue of the face and the jaw line !

MINILIFTING IN THE WELLNESS KLINIEK

Trough an incision in the hairline and in the natural fold of the skin in front of the ear, the surgeon tightens the skin, corrects the subcutaneous tissues and elevates the weakened muscles.

The surgeon uses a number of loops, which support of the subcutaneous tissues during the healing period. These loops are dissolvable and disappear as soon as they are no longer required. This prevents late rejection of the stitches. The correction of the subcutaneous tissue and muscles lifts your skin in a natural way. We take care to avoid an unnatural appearance!

BEAUTIFUL, NATURAL LIFTING OF THE SKIN

Modern facelifting has a natural, rejuvenating result because the traction on the facial tissues runs in a vertical way, contrary to the horizontal traction of some old techniques of facelifting, which give a loss of depth in the face.

The tension on the skin and the subcutaneous tissues runs in an upward and not in a sideward direction. Thus we avoid a "too tightened" appearance and achieve a natural rejuvenation.

THE SEDATION

The treatment is possible under local anaesthesia or, if you want, under intravenous sedation.

Contrary to traditional narcosis, in which a tube is brought into the throat and connected to a breathing apparatus, you actually breathe on your own. While you sleep you breathe independently and feel no pain. A few hours after the surgery you feel fine and have been spared the side effects of a general anaesthetic.

RECOVERY PERIOD?

After one week the stitches are removed. From this moment you can, with some make-up, resume your social activities. Our skin therapist will give you advice on the check-up consultation.

During two weeks after the surgery the face will be a bit blue and swollen. The vitamins, which are prescribed before the operation, help to speed up recovery.

CAN I BE CONSIDERED FOR OPERATION?

The Wellness Mini facelift is for men and women, who want to look younger, without losing the character and the natural expression of their face.

It’s also an alternative for people who, for personal or medical reasons, choose to undergo a less radical surgery.

The Wellness Mini lift is the treatment for everybody who doesn’t need a full facelift yet, but just doesn’t want to wait until more radical measures are needed.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE WITH A FULL FACELIFT?

A full facelift is even more effective when the sagging of the skin, muscles, subcutaneous fat and connective tissue, is in an advanced stage. Deep wrinkles, creases and groves found on the face and neck can be eliminated with a full facelift and an endoscopic front lift.

With a full facelift more incisions are made, often also behind the ear and underneath the chin, because mostly all structures of the forehead and the eyebrows inclusive the muscles of the neck, are being corrected.

The Minilift is limited to the central sagging of the tissue of the cheeks and the jowls, often the first, and the most annoying, features of facial aging. It can be combined with liposculpture of the neck, neck muscle correction, eyelid surgery, nose surgery, filling techniques superficial wrinkle treatments or nose.
