Depending on the degree of aging and patient expectations, different techniques can be selected – from classic surgical facelift to minimally invasive thread lift with Aptos threads.

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.

How Does Classic Facelift Differ from Thread Lift?
Facelift: surgical procedure during which deep facial tissues are lifted and secured. Results last long, typically 7–12 years. This surgery is especially suitable when there are more pronounced facial aging signs, when non-surgical methods are no longer sufficiently effective.
Visage Excellence threads (Aptos): minimally invasive facial contouring method performed without surgical intervention. After the procedure, most patients can return to daily activities fairly quickly, although mild swelling or bruising may persist for some time. Results typically last about 1.5–2 years. These threads work best when mild to moderate facial tissue descent changes need to be corrected.
Which Patients May Undergo Aptos Thread Lift?
This facial correction procedure is well suited for people with mild aging signs. Most commonly, these are 35–60-year-old women and men for whom non-surgical methods are no longer sufficiently effective, but surgical procedure is not yet necessary.
For younger patients who are more concerned about expression wrinkles, the first choice method is typically botulinum toxin, and when there is volume loss – fillers such as hyaluronic acid.
However, thread lift is not performed if there is active inflammation, infection, or other acute skin diseases in the skin, as the procedure may increase the risk of complications.
Will Scars Be Visible After Facial Tissue Lifting?
In the places where Aptos threads were inserted, very small, just a few millimeters punctures are made. These heal quickly and effectively if the established postoperative plan is followed. The healing process mainly depends on individual body characteristics and post-procedure care.
When Is Neck Liposuction Necessary?
Face and neck lift is quite often combined with facial liposuction. This combination of procedures is selected when there is excess fatty tissue in the neck area. This is especially relevant for those with the so-called "double chin". Also, submental area liposuction can help achieve the desired more defined jawline, a "sharper angle" between neck and chin – an expressive and graceful neck.
How Can Early Aging Signs Be Slowed?
Since skin is constantly affected by external irritants, it is necessary to ensure protection from them. Best practice would be:
- use creams with SPF against direct sun rays;
- choose healthy, balanced nutrition;
- exercise regularly;
- use appropriate facial skincare products.
Facial and lymphatic drainage massages can help reduce puffiness, improve circulation, and give skin radiance, but their effect on elasticity is temporary.
