This lift can be done according to different techniques such as a plication of the SMAS layer or a deep plane Facelift. Under surgeon will personally advise you which type is most suitable for you.

Is a Facelift Worth It?

For many people, a facelift is worthwhile because it provides long-lasting and natural results for sagging skin and deep wrinkles. It can give you a fresher, younger appearance and increased self-confidence, provided you have realistic expectations and choose an experienced doctor.

What is a facelift?

A facelift is a treatment performed when the skin of your face is sagging due to age. During the procedure, the skin and underlying muscle and connective tissue is tightened and lifted. This gives your face, neck and jawline a youthful contour.Watch our videos below where Dr Thanya Tha-In explains exactly what a facelift entails.

What types of lift are there?

Face slimming: this unique treatment consists of a combination treatment of liposuction of the neck and buccal fat removal. Face slimming is suitable for people with a full face who want more definition in their face. This procedure is recommended when the skin quality is firm. By performing extensive liposuction of the neck, combined with buccal fat removal, the right accents are added to the face so that your face looks slimmer and more youthful. The S-Lift: only the skin of the cheek is lifted, which is why the procedure is also called a 'mini lift' or 'mini facelift'. This technique is suitable up to a certain age and if the sagging is limited to the top layer of the skin. If there is also sagging of the underlying tissue layers, the MACS-Lift or a facelift will be a better choice. The MACS lift: not only is the skin of the cheek lifted, as with the S-Lift or mini-lift, but the underlying supporting tissue is also lifted (the SMAS layer). This technique is suitable when the face is sagging on multiple layers. This is often from the age of 45 to 50. The jawline and neck are not included in a MACS lift. Facelift: A facelift involves making an incision in front of the ear and behind the ear. The skin and the underlying connective tissue layer (the SMAS layer) are lifted. A facelift is a more extensive lift than a MACS lift. A facelift involves lifting the jawline. This lift can be performed using various techniques, such as a plication of the SMAS layer or a deep plane facelift. Your surgeon will personally advise you on which type is most suitable for you. Face and neck lift: a face/neck lift involves making an incision in front of the ear, behind the ear and under the chin. The cheeks, jawline and neck are lifted. The underlying layers, namely the SMAS layer and the neck muscles (the platysma muscles), are also lifted using a special technique. In this way, the cheeks, jawline and neck are lifted in a natural and sustainable way so that you can enjoy the result for longer. Neck lift with platysmaplasty: With a neck lift with platysmaplasty, the focus is entirely on the neck. An incision is made behind the ears and under the chin. After extensive liposuction of the neck, the neck muscles are lifted by suturing them together (platysmaplasty). This gives you a youthful, beautiful jawline without scars in front of the ears. The face is not lifted. Signature Lift: A Signature lift is a unique facial lift performed by Dr. Tha-in. It consists of a combination treatment of buccal fat removal, liposuction of the neck and then lifting the face and neck. This lift not only tightens your face but also adds accents at the right points that make you naturally more beautiful in a defined way. Dr. Tha-in will be happy to discuss this with you personally.

Should I sleep upright after a facelift?

Yes, it's recommended to sleep upright or semi-upright for the first few nights. This helps reduce swelling and bruising and promotes a smooth recovery.

Overgewicht met een Facelift, kan dit?

Ja, een facelift is ook mogelijk met overgewicht. Wel kan het effect minder uitgesproken zijn, omdat vetweefsel in het gezicht een rol speelt bij het eindresultaat. Tijdens een consult kijkt de arts of de ingreep passend en veilig is voor jouw situatie.

Vanaf welke leeftijd kan je een Facelift ondergaan?

Een facelift kan vanaf ongeveer 40 jaar overwogen worden, wanneer huidverslapping en rimpels zichtbaarder worden. De juiste leeftijd verschilt per persoon en hangt af van je huidconditie en wensen.

Waarom mag je de eerste twee dagen niet alleen zijn na een Facelift?

De eerste twee dagen na een facelift is het belangrijk dat iemand bij je is om je te helpen. Je kunt nog wat duizelig zijn van de verdoving of pijnstilling, en je hebt ondersteuning nodig bij dagelijkse dingen zoals eten klaarmaken of even opstaan. Zo herstel je veiliger en met meer rust.

Waarom ziet je gezicht er zo opgetrokken uit na een Facelift

Direct na een facelift kan je gezicht er strak of wat opgezwollen uitzien door zwelling en spanning van de huid. Dit trekt in de weken daarna geleidelijk weg, waarna het resultaat natuurlijker en zachter oogt.

Who is a suitable candidate for a facelift?

A facelift is suitable for people who want a natural change in their face, and want to remedy sagging that has developed over the years or after losing a lot of weight. The degree of sagging of the skin and underlying tissues determine whether a (mini) facelift is necessary. The surgeon will always assess which type of lift can give you the best results. The age for a regular facelift can range from 40 to 70 years, a mini-Lift/ S-Lift can be applied to younger as this is only excess skin in most cases. For us, quality and care is paramount, which is why we advise against surgical lifts after the age of 70. The reason is that due to age, the lower layer is often severely sagging and therefore cannot be lifted properly.

What are the risks and complications?

With any surgical treatment, there is a chance of a complication. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the procedure and its possible complications. There is the risk of an allergic reaction, bleeding or infection. The chance of this is very small. Our instruments are single-use and of the best quality. We work with very fine needles and fine diathermy, so as to minimise trauma to the tissue as much as possible.Specific complications of a facelift are nerve damage, asymmetry, hair loss, formation of hypertrophic scars and numbness of part of your face. The latter is usually not permanent.

What is a facelift against pendulous cheeks?

A facelift is a treatment performed when the skin of your face is sagging due to age. During the procedure, the skin and underlying muscle and connective tissue are tightened and lifted. This gives your face, neck and jawline a youthful contour. Watch our videos below where Dr Thanya Tha-In explains exactly what a facelift entails.

Aftercare after facelift

Get enough rest in the week after your treatment. Make sure someone can help you. Sleep on your back on 2 pillows. This reduces the chance of bleeding and swelling. It promotes healing. In the first two weeks after the treatment, you may not press, strain, lift or bend. We advise you not to smoke until the stitches are removed. Smoking increases the chance of complications. Avoid chewing solid food intensively. This puts pressure on the stitches in the face. Do not drink hot drinks, such as tea or coffee, to prevent congestion in the face. Swelling and bruising will get worse in the first three days and then slowly decrease again. It is wise to keep moving normally. This is good for the blood circulation and wound healing. Do not do heavy or strenuous work or sports activities during the first six weeks. Plan your social contacts. Stay home for a week. The treated area will look blue, swollen and bruised for the first week. The scars may also be red and swollen immediately after the treatment. This can be quite a shock. One to two weeks after a facelift, you will usually be presentable again and can resume your social activities. We advise you not to expose the scars to UV sunlight and/or the sunbed for 3 months after the operation. Avoid emotional excitement. After a few weeks, everything will be fine again.

Mag ik zelfstandig naar huis na een Facelift?

Nee, na een facelift mag je niet zelfstandig naar huis. Door de verdoving en het verband heb je begeleiding nodig. Het is belangrijk dat iemand je ophaalt en de eerste dagen bij je in de buurt blijft.

Is een Facelift een eindstation?

Nee, een facelift is geen eindstation. Het verouderingsproces gaat door, maar een facelift zet de klok een flink stuk terug. Soms kiezen mensen later voor een kleine aanvullende behandeling om het resultaat mooi te onderhouden.

Facelift - Face/ Neck Lift

Bij een Face-/Neck lift wordt een incisie gemaakt voor het oor, achter het oor en onder de kin. Hierbij worden de wangen, de kaaklijn en de hals gelift. Tevens worden de onderliggende lagen namelijk de SMAS laag en de halsspieren (de platysmaspieren) gelift met een speciale techniek. Op deze manier worden de wangen, de kaaklijn en de hals op een natuurlijke en duurzame manier gelift zodat u langer kunt genieten van het resultaat.

Feeling beautiful again

The cost of a facelift often plays a big role in choosing a clinic. SkinSurgery fully understands this and therefore offers fair prices. The effects of old age can feel like a shock, especially if you still feel young. Some no longer recognise themselves in the mirror. Pendulous skin can make you look tired and that while you are still full of energy. A facelift at SkinSurgery may be the solution so don't hesitate and schedule a no-obligation consultation for a facelift.
