Facelift

A facelift is an option for people who are healthy, do not smoke and do not suffer from any medical condition that interferes with your healing process. This procedure can be perfectly combined with other facial procedures to combat the signs of ageing.

A facelift makes you look younger, without taking away your individuality. You do not suddenly look like someone else. On the contrary, when the facelift is perfectly successful, the people around you will notice that you look better and well rested. Why is that? They don't have to know, of course, if you don't want them to.

A facelift is performed under general anaesthetic. You are completely asleep and feel nothing of the procedure. The operation takes 2 to 3 hours, but may take longer if additional procedures are required.

If necessary for the best result, drainage tubes are placed under the skin, near your ears. Some tubes may be left in place overnight, while others may remain in place until you return for your first post-operative consultation.

You may need bandages after your operation, the surgeon will decide. In any case, you will stay in the recovery room until you are ready to go home or stay overnight at Wellness Kliniek. We will tailor the operation to each individual, in order to achieve the best possible result.

Most patients who have a facelift performed return to work after about two weeks. By then, most of the bruising and discolouration will have disappeared.

If this is combined with other procedures, such as fat grafting, the recovery period may be longer. In that case, you should not do any sport for a fortnight and no strenuous exercise for one month. However, it is a good idea to walk around as much as possible after your operation. Naturally, we will provide you with recovery instructions.

It takes about three months before the swelling has gone down and you see the final results. Some parts of your skin will continue to feel tense for 6 to 9 months. After one year, all scars should have faded.

Post-operative lymph drainage can be useful to help the healing process. If this is appropriate for you, the surgeon will certainly suggest it.

It is also essential that you are monitored by your surgeon to detect and treat any possible complications in time. The likelihood of complications is very small. Above all, you will be able to enjoy your new look!
