How does a Facelift S-Lift proceed?

1.

Consultation with the doctor/surgeon

1.

Consultation with the doctor/surgeon

A Facelift S-Lift is always preceded by several consultations with our plastic surgeon. You have every opportunity during the non-binding consultation to ask your questions in a personal conversation. And to 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 gives the best results. You will be given all the information about the facelift treatment and you will be explained the entire treatment process, from precaution to aftercare. You will be told what final result you can expect from the treatment. Photographs will be taken beforehand and laid next to the post-surgery photos. This allows you to nicely see the natural result of the facelift.

To understand where you are coming from and why you want a Facelift S-Lift, we like to take the time to get to know you well first. The most important thing about the whole treatment is that we understand what your needs are. Do you want a natural result, appropriate to your age? What are your major pluses and minuses? How is the symmetry of your face? By getting to know you, we understand what you want. At the end of the day, it's all about you, and you get to take your time with your decision. We rebalance your innerbeauty and your outer beauty.

Treatment

illustration side view facelift

A Facelift S-Lift is an outpatient treatment, which does not require admission. You may return home after the procedure and a short rest period. However, you are not yet allowed to drive. 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: an S-lift or mini-lift, a more extensive MACS lift and an extensive neck facelift. Excess skin in the face and possibly the neck is removed.

The treatment time depends on the type of facelift. The S-lift takes about 1.5 hours. Here, only the skin of the cheek is lifted. The first result is visible after just 1 to 2 weeks. The final, natural result shows itself 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 have a good recovery. Your face will be somewhat swollen and feel tight for several weeks after the facelift. After your treatment, you will be given a medication schedule so that you know exactly when to take what. The swelling and bruising will disappear on its own within a few weeks. For the first week to 2 weeks, get plenty of rest and sleep in the supine position on an extra pillow. This helps against swelling, reduces the risk of post-operative 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 achieve the best results and fastest healing with a healthy lifestyle. We recommend stopping smoking 4 weeks before treatment until 4 weeks after treatment. We advise against drinking hot drinks and chewing solid food intensively during the first week to prevent facial congestion. This may put pressure on the sutures in the face. Keep moving normally after the Facelift S-Lift to keep the blood circulation going and the wound healing quickly. You will be presentable again after 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.

Risks

A facelift S-lift is a common surgical procedure at SkinSurgery 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 state-of-the-art treatment techniques and use the best instruments.

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 SkinSurgery Clinics immediately. Our doctors/surgeons are readily available.

Natural results with a Facelift S-Lift

The S-lift, also called a mini facelift or minilift, is the least invasive facelift and is suitable for people with sagging skin. Using minimal incisions, only the upper layer of skin around the jawline and cheeks is lifted. This is a different technique from the classic facelift or a MACS lift, which also lifts the underlying tissue layers (such as muscle, fat and connective tissue).

A mini facelift (S-Lift) has the best results in younger people with mild signs of ageing, such as sagging skin, drooping cheeks or a sagging jawline. But an S-Lift can also offer a beautiful solution if you have lost a lot of weight.

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.

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.

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.

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.
