Treatment

Signature lift zij aanzicht - SkinSurgery Clinics

The Signature Lift is an outpatient treatment, which does not require admission. You may return home after the procedure and after a short rest period. However, you are not yet allowed to drive yourself. In this case, please bring someone with you to our clinic or have someone pick you up by car after the treatment. Various facelift treatments are performed under anaesthesia in our clinic. In the Signature Lift, not only the skin is lifted, but the underlying connective and muscular tissue is tightened and the sagging fatty tissue is returned to its original position. Buccal fat is removed and liposuction is performed on the neck to remove the double chin.

The Signature Lift lasts 3 to 4 hours, lifting both the skin of the cheek and the underlying supporting tissue. Your jawline becomes tighter and your nasolabial fold more prominent. Removal of buccal fat gives you a more defined V-shape and liposuction also addresses your double chin. Initial results are visible after just 1 to 2 weeks. The final, natural result shows after a few months to a year. The result lasts for a long time. Skin ageing does continue. A facelift can be repeated after 10 to 15 years.

Aftercare

Aftercare

We are happy to guide you through the entire treatment and healing process. We work with a specially developed pre- and after-care 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 Signature Lift. 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 will reach the guarantee 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 Signature Lift to keep 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 sunbed or to the sauna. We recommend some connective tissue massages from 3 months after treatment. This makes the skin, underlying tissues and scars supple and soft, and promotes recovery.

Dr Tha-In Signature Lift at SkinSurgery Clinics

Dr Tha-In has years of experience in facial surgery and has now performed over 1,500 procedures. She operates daily and knows exactly which treatment suits which needs or problems.

The Dr Tha-In Signature Lift therefore combines all its experience and expertise in one procedure. This can address multiple problem areas and achieve optimal, long-term results. Dr Tha-In Signature Lift includes a full deep plane facelift, liposuction with neck lifting and buccal fat removal. The Signature lift comes with the full aftercare package with medication, support bands and connective tissue massages 3 months after the procedure.

Dr Tha-In Signature Lift at SkinSurgery Clinics

This lift addresses multiple problem areas such as sagging midface, jawline and neck, as well as hamster cheeks. By addressing these areas simultaneously, the Signature lift gives a beautiful, youthful and natural result. Dr Tha-In is one of the few surgeons in the Netherlands who combines these techniques and performs the lift to perfection.

Dr Tha-In is known as one of the best in her field. She is happy to get to know you during a personal consultation to assess whether her Signature Lift is right for you.

The treatment

This Signature Lift takes place under sedation and with local anaesthesia. This means you are asleep during the procedure and you will feel no pain. You are therefore very sleepy and relaxed and will experience very little of the procedure.

The surgeon makes short incisions in the hairline next to the temple, in front of the ear down to the earlobe. This minimises the risk of visible scars as they fall into the natural folds of the ear. The subcutaneous tissue is lifted and secured with sutures. These dissolve on their own while the tissue heals in its new position.

During the procedure, buccal fat is also removed. This gives your face more contour and a V-shape. This can often be done from the outside, if the skin has been loosened. It may happen that the buccal fat is deeper. In that case, the surgeon will remove the fat from the inside of your mouth, through a small incision.

To bring back the natural contours of your face, and give more definition to your jawline, the surgeon will also remove fat at the double chin. This is done using liposuction. A small tube is inserted under your chin, which then sucks up the fat.

The whole procedure takes about 3-4 hours. After a short period of sleep, you will be allowed to go home. As you may be drowsy, you will not be allowed to drive independently. You will therefore have to be collected.

From 3 months after surgery, you will return for connective tissue massages. This softens the skin, underlying tissue and scars. The massages promote recovery and ensure longer-lasting results.

Prices and coverage

SkinSurgery Clinics delivers the highest quality at a competitive price. The cost of the Signature Lift is transparent and clear. A facelift is reimbursed only on medical grounds.

 

Note: facelifts are frequently offered by clinics and healthcare professionals these days, often at competitive rates and high discounts. Unfortunately, this often means that the procedure not is performed by an experienced surgeon. Therefore, always be well informed during a personal consultation and remember: if something seems too good to be true, it often is.

Buccal fat removal

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.

Do I need to take supplements for a facelift?

Usually, taking special supplements isn't necessary for a facelift. A healthy and varied diet already supports your recovery well. Sometimes a doctor may recommend certain vitamins or supplements, but this is only done if absolutely necessary.

Overweight with a Facelift, is this possible?

Yes, a facelift is also possible for those who are overweight. However, the effect may be less pronounced because facial fat plays a role in the final result. During a consultation, the doctor will determine whether the procedure is suitable and safe for your situation.

From what age can you have a facelift?

A facelift can be considered from around age 40, when sagging skin and wrinkles become more visible. The right age varies from person to person and depends on your skin condition and preferences.

Why can't you be alone for the first two days after a facelift?

For the first two days after a facelift, it's important to have someone with you to help. You may still feel a little dizzy from the anesthesia or pain medication, and you'll need support with daily activities like preparing food or getting up. This will help you recover more safely and with more peace of mind.

Why Does Your Face Look So Pulled Up After a Facelift

Immediately after a facelift, your face may look tight or slightly puffy due to swelling and skin tension. This gradually subsides over the following weeks, leaving a more natural and softer result.

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.

Aftercare after the Signature Lift

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.

What are the risks and complications?

With any surgical treatment, there is a risk of a complication. Therefore, it is important that you are aware of the procedure and its possible complications. There is a risk of 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. Specific complications of a facelift are nerve damage, asymmetry, hair loss, formation of hypertrophic scars and numbness of part of the face. The latter is usually not permanent.

What are disadvantages of a Signature Lift?

Not everyone is a suitable candidate. If there is (severe) sagging skin, a different, additional procedure will be necessary. As with all cosmetic procedures, the final results depend much more on the surgeon's skill than on the actual technique used. You will have small scars, but our surgeon will conceal them as best as possible.

What are advantages of the Signature Lift?

It's a treatment that addresses multiple problem areas: from chubby cheeks to a double chin. The results are more dramatic and last much longer than other face slimming treatments like Botox. Because you combine treatments, you have a single procedure and a single recovery time. It also offers a financial advantage compared to separate treatments.

Who is a suitable candidate for the Signature Lift?

The Signature Lift is suitable for people who want a natural change in their face, and to remedy sagging that has developed over the years. It is a treatment that addresses several problem areas: sagging skin, bulging cheeks, sagging jawline and a double chin. The surgeon will always assess whether this lift can give you the desired result, or if another lift is a more suitable alternative.

What other 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 face is not lifted. Signature Lift: A Signature lift is a unique facial lift performed by Dr. Tha-in.

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.

Can I go home on my own after a facelift?

No, you cannot go home on your own after a facelift. Due to the anesthesia and bandages, you will need assistance. It's important that someone picks you up and stays with you for the first few days.

Is a facelift the end of the road?

No, a facelift isn't the end of the road. The aging process continues, but a facelift turns back the clock considerably. Sometimes people opt for a minor follow-up treatment later to maintain the beautiful result.

Care hotel Van Der Valk

Do you have a surgical treatment in mind or planned and are coming from far away? We understand that it is quite an undertaking to be brought and picked up. After surgical treatment, you are not allowed to drive on your own. After a Facelift, you should not be alone for the first 48 hours. Also, after a Facelift, you will come back for a check-up after two days; if you come from far away, this will cost travel time. This is why we offer an extra service of staying overnight at the Van Der Valk care hotel in Rotterdam Blijdorp. There, (15 minutes from our clinic) you can recover from the operation and a nurse will take care of all care. The Care Hotel can be booked from €500,- per night. Feel free to ask about the conditions at our clinic, we will be happy to help you.
