Facelift The Hague

A facelift in The Hague is an outpatient treatment that takes place under anesthesia. You do not have to be admitted to our clinic. The treatment time depends on the type of facelift. The S-lift or mini-lift takes approximately one and a half hours. The more extensive MACS lift takes about two hours. The most comprehensive, combined neck facelift takes a little longer. You can go home after the treatment and after a short rest. You just can’t drive a car yet. So take someone with you or have someone pick you up at our clinic after the treatment. The first result of the facelift is already visible after one to two weeks. The natural result is revealed after a few months to a year. A facelift can be repeated after 10 to 15 years to counteract ongoing skin aging.

Every face is different. The aging process of the skin is different for everyone. Skin + Surgery adjusts the facelift accordingly. With a minilift or S-lift, only the skin of the cheek is lifted. This least invasive treatment mainly has a rejuvenating effect on the cheeks and jawline. With the MACS lift, both the cheek skin and the underlying supporting tissue are lifted. This facial surgery tightens your jawline and makes your nose lip fold more prominent. The excess skin at the neck is removed. A neck facelift is the most complete treatment method. Incisions are made along the hairline and behind the ear. Subcutaneous connective tissue is secured or partly removed, as is excess skin. Your face and neck are tightened. The deep skin folds disappear.

Skin + Surgery is known for the expert and safe treatments and for the excellent aftercare. We use a specially developed aftercare protocol. You will be guided throughout the follow-up process for a good and fast recovery. The first days after the facelift in The Hague, your face is slightly swollen, shows some bruises and feels a bit tight. If you have a mild after-pain, you can take paracetamol. The bruising and swelling will disappear on their own within one to two weeks. It helps if you take enough rest for the first week and sleep in the supine position on an extra pillow at night. This reduces swelling, reduces the risk of bleeding afterwards and promotes the healing process.

Do not engage in vigorous physical activity in the first six weeks. For the first three weeks, avoid lifting, bending, pressing and pressing. With a conscious and healthy lifestyle you will get the best result . That means no smoking until the stitches are out. Do not drink hot drinks to avoid facial congestion. And do not chew solid food intensively, so as not to put pressure on the facial sutures. You keep your blood circulation going by moving normally after the facelift. This makes the wound heal faster. You are presentable again after one to two weeks. You can resume your daily activities. Do not go to the sun, sunbed or sauna with your face in the first three months.

The Skin + Surgery specialists are highly qualified and experienced. They work with the best and most modern medical instruments to prevent possible tissue damage. The chance of risks or complications with a facelift in The Hague is very small. Very occasionally an allergic reaction, bleeding or infection can occur. Occasionally, specific complications arise, such as nerve damage, asymmetrical face, hypertrophic (red, itchy) scars, hair loss, or numbness of part of your face. This is rare and usually not permanent. If in doubt, contact the attending plastic surgeon in our clinic immediately. Our doctors are easily accessible.
