The clinic for facelift treatments

A facelift is always preceded by several consultations with our plastic surgeon. You will have during the non-binding consultation every opportunity to ask your questions in a personal conversation. And express your wishes and expectations about the treatment. Our surgeon Dr Thanya Tha-In will assess whether a facelift is a suitable treatment for you and which type of facelift will give the best results. You will be given all the information about the facelift treatment and explained the entire treatment process, from precaution to aftercare. You will be told what end result you can expect from the treatment. Photographs will be taken beforehand and laid next to the post-surgery photos. This allows you to see the natural result of the facelift beautifully.

To understand where you are coming from and why you want a facelift, we like to take the time to get to know you well first. The most important part of the whole treatment is that we understand what your wishes are. Do you want a natural result, appropriate to your age? What are your important pluses and minuses? How is the symmetry of your face? By getting to know you, we understand what you want. In the end, it's all about you. You get to take your time with your decision. It's your face! We rebalance your innerbeauty and your outer beauty.

We are happy to guide you through the entire treatment and healing process. We work with a specially developed pre- and aftercare protocol, so that you are maximally prepared and enjoy your recovery. Your face will be slightly swollen and feel tight for the few days after the facelift. For mild post-operative pain, taking a paracetamol will suffice. The swelling and bruising will disappear on their own within a few weeks. In the first week, get plenty of rest and sleep supine on an extra pillow. This helps against swelling, reduces the risk of subsequent bleeding and promotes the healing process. Avoid pressing, squeezing, bending or lifting in the first three weeks. Do not engage in heavy physical exertion in the first six weeks.

You reach the best outcome and fastest healing with a healthy lifestyle. At least stop smoking until the sutures are out, do not drink hot drinks to avoid facial congestion and do not chew solid food intensively. Otherwise, this will put pressure on the sutures in the face. Keep moving normally after the facelift to keep the blood circulation going and the wound healing quickly. You will be presentable again after one to two weeks and able to resume your daily social activities. In the first three months, do not expose your facial skin to bright sunlight or go under a tanning bed or to the sauna.

A facelift is a common surgical procedure at Skin + Surgery Clinics, with a very low risk of complications. An allergic reaction, subsequent bleeding or infection may occur in some cases. However, this is rare, as our highly qualified and experienced specialists work according to the state-of-the-art treatment techniques and use the best tools.

Occasionally, specific complications may occur such as nerve damage, asymmetry, hypertrophic (red, itchy) scars, hair loss or numbness of part of your face, which is usually not permanent. When in doubt, contact your treated doctor at Skin + Surgery immediately. Our doctors are easily accessible.
