Facelift

Facelift Plastic Surgery

Facelift surgery is performed under general anesthesia, with a typical facelift skin incision made in the hair and natural skin creases. During surgery, not only facial skin is tightened, but also deeper layers: subcutaneous tissue, ligaments, and muscles. Typically, during surgery, cheeks are lifted, jawline is corrected, and neck wrinkles are addressed (surgery can be combined with neck lift and upper lip lift procedure (lip lift).

Thread Lift

Everyone inevitably faces aging processes. Depending on genetics, lifestyle, and nutrition, aging signs also differ. For some, aging signs develop faster in the lower face, while for others – in the upper face. In any case, wrinkles that appear can be reduced in several ways; Aptos thread lift is one of them.

When necessary, thread lift procedure can be combined with other procedures, such as eyelid lift.

What Are Aptos Threads?

Aptos threads are special threads suitable for mild facelift and internal tissue tightening. Aptos are "barbed", transparent, and completely unnoticeable even under light, thin skin. These threads dissolve over time and stimulate collagen formation, so their effect lasts up to 1.5–2 years. When necessary, the procedure can be repeated after 1 year.

Neck Lift – When Is It Necessary?

Neck lift surgery is most commonly performed in combination with facelift to achieve balanced and natural facial rejuvenation. Neck skin is usually thin and sensitive, so it is no surprise that aging signs or changes caused by other factors appear fastest in this area. This surgery is performed not only at older age – some individuals simply do not have a defined neck contour, have an additional fatty layer. Nevertheless, the need for neck correction is often determined by natural aging processes and factors that changed skin appearance earlier than expected. Typically, neck lift is performed together with facelift.

Why Is Neck Lift Most Commonly Performed?

• Aging processes: with aging, skin loses elasticity and firmness; in the sensitive neck area, wrinkles quickly appear, skin sags, and jawline as well as chin and neck contour become less defined.
• Major weight fluctuations: after significant weight loss, excess skin often remains on the neck, which naturally forms wrinkles and creates the impression of sagging, thus creating the appearance of prematurely aged skin..
• Excessive sun damage (photoaging): prolonged sun exposure accelerates aging processes and strongly affects sensitive facial and neck skin, so excessive enjoyment of sun or tanning bed rays can become the cause of an unaesthetic and unsatisfying appearance in the mirror.
