Facelift.

Welcome to the Department of Plastic Surgery of the healthcare facility Lékařský dům Praha 7.

Facelift Surgery

Facelift is a facial operation that aims to tighten the skin of the face and neck and reduce some of the signs of skin aging. The principle of the procedure is to remove excess skin from the sleeping area of ​​the face and neck.

The surgery is done under general anaesthesia and lasts for 90 to 120 minutes. Very often, this classic surgery is accompanied by vibration-assisted tumescent liposuction of the neck and chin. The result is the restoration of the natural angle and shape of the area between the chin and the front of the neck.

The patient is discharged on the second day after the surgery. As the head is bandaged, the bandages need to be changed during the checks and removed 10 to 14 days after the surgery.

The post-operative treatment takes about 2 weeks, however, full load with all the risks is recommended after 1 month post surgery.

WHO ARE THE CANDIDATES

Facelift helps both men and women, often (but not always) between their 40s and 60s, with a more pronounced sagging of the skin in the lower half of the face and on the neck, the signs of which may be:

  • sagging cheeks
  • “double chin” of otherwise slim people
  • pronounced nasal grooves

The main condition is for the patient to be in good health.

WHEN WILL THE RESULTS SHOW

It is necessary to be patient and wait for the results until the postoperative period.

Final effects won’t be apparent just a few days or weeks after the surgery and may take up to several months to be visible.

Additional Information

Before undergoing facelift surgery, it is necessary to follow the doctor’s instructions regarding eating, drinking, smoking, taking medications, etc. in preparation for the procedure.

Facelift can be combined with some other facial enhancements, such as eyelid or forehead surgery.

Facial surgeries usually do not result in any serious problems.

Swelling reaches its maximum on the 3rd or 4th day after the surgery, bruises may sometimes appear as well. Partial numbness of the skin is common and gradually disappears.

After complete healing no scars will be visible as they naturally copy the hairline and the ear folds.

The effect of the surgery lasts for five to ten years, depending on the character of your skin. The procedure can then be repeated.

Do not hesitate to contact your doctor should you have severe persistent pain or severe swelling of the face.

The form of the surgery is decided during a consultation examination, for which we charge 500 CZK. If you decide to go through with the surgery, this amount is then refunded to you.
