Facelift S-lift

If an S-Lift cannot produce the desired result, the surgeon will recommend a different lift. At Skin + Surgery we specialize in different types of lifts and techniques.

The MACS lift </ a> : not only the skin of the cheek is lifted, as with the S-Lift or mini lift, but the underlying supporting tissue is also included. This technique is suitable when there is more sagging, when there is a larger area to be lifted and is often applicable from a certain age. The neck is not included in a MACS lift.

Face and neck lift </ a> : With a face / neck lift, an extended incision behind the ear not only lifts the skin of the cheek and the underlying supporting tissue, but also lifts the neck.

Necklift with platysmaplasty </ b >: this lift is recommended if especially the neck (and underlying muscles) are relaxed. The skin of the face is not lifted with this treatment.

Face slimming </ b>: this unique treatment tackles chubby hamster cheeks and a stubborn double chin. In this case, there is no question of enormous slackening, but there is unwanted volume, which gives you, for example, a baby face .

Dr. Tha-In Signature Lift : all of Dr. Tha-In together. Combining her many years of experience, this lift allows her to tackle multiple problem areas at once and achieve amazing results.

An S-lift is suitable for people who want a natural change in their face, where skin slackening is the main problem. The degree of sagging skin and age determine who is a suitable candidate for an S-lift. The surgeon will always assess whether an S-Lift or minilift is suitable for you and can give you the desired result.

With an S-Lift, the top skin layer is lifted to smooth out wrinkles, correct skin sagging and create a more defined jawline.

The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, which is less time-consuming, risky and time-consuming than general anesthesia.

It is the least invasive facelift technique, which means less recovery time than a traditional lift.

The incisions are smaller, and so is the chance of visible scars.

An S-Lift / mini-lift does not lift the underlying muscles, so it is not suitable for everyone.

The results of a mini facelift last between two to five years, while the results of a classic facelift last much longer.

An S-Lift / minilift is only for the cheeks and jawline. Further sagging in the face is not lifted.

You are only a suitable candidate for this lift if there is skin slackening without slackening of the underlying layers.

There is a risk of complication with any surgical treatment. That is why it is important that you are aware of the procedure and the possible complications. There is a risk of an allergic reaction, bleeding or infection. The chance of this is very small. Our instruments are of the best quality. We work with very fine needles and fine diathermy, so as to minimize trauma to the tissue.

Specific complications with a facelift are nerve damage, asymmetry, hair loss, hypertrophic scarring and numbness of part of your face. The latter is usually not permanent.

• Take enough rest in the week after your treatment. Make sure someone can help you.
• Sleep in the supine position on 2 pillows. This reduces the risk of bleeding and swelling. It promotes healing.
• Do not push, push, lift or bend over during the first two weeks after treatment.
• We recommend that you do not smoke until the stitches are removed. Smoking increases the risk of complications.
• Avoid intensive chewing of solid foods. This puts pressure on the sutures in the face.
• Do not drink hot drinks, such as tea or coffee, to avoid facial congestion.
• Swelling and bruising get worse for the first three days and then slowly subside.
• It is wise to keep moving normally. This is good for circulation and wound healing.
• Do not engage in heavy and strenuous work or sports activities for the first six weeks.
• Schedule your social contacts. Stay at home for a week. The treated area will look blue, swollen, and bruised for the first week. The scars can also be red and swollen immediately after the treatment. This is sometimes a bit of a shock.
• One to two weeks after a facelift you are usually presentable again and you can resume your social activities.
• We advise you not to expose the scars to UV sunlight and / or the tanning bed for 3 months after surgery.
• After 3 months it is advisable to start with connective tissue massages. This relaxes the skin, underlying tissue and scars. The massages promote recovery and ensure longer retention of the result.
• Avoid emotional arousal. After a few weeks everything will be fine again.
