Facial surgery

Facelift

Reposition, don't stretch.

The facelift treats sagging in the middle and lower thirds of the face by acting on the deep layer. It is not a skin stretch: it is the repositioning of the structures that support it.

The approach

A deep-SMAS technique with short incisions hidden around the ear and scalp. Skin is redistributed without tension, which is what avoids a rigid expression.

Recovery

A dressing for the first forty-eight hours. Discreet social life from the third week onward. The final result appears around the sixth month.

Who it's for

  • Loss of definition in the facial oval and a dropped cheekbone.
  • Deep nasolabial folds caused by sagging rather than volume loss.
  • Patients who explicitly reject a tight or artificial look.

The process

01

Study of the sagging

Loss of support is distinguished from loss of volume.

02

Combined plan

It is frequently paired with blepharoplasty or neck treatment.

03

Surgery

Three to four hours, with a one-night stay.

04

Close follow-up

Dressings and reviews during the first month.
