Consultation with doctor

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

To understand where you are coming from and why you want a facelift against drooping cheeks, 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 wishes are. Do you want a natural result, appropriate to your age? What are your important pluses and minuses? How is the symmetry of your face? By getting to know you, we understand what you want. In the end, it's all about you. You get to take your time with your decision. It's your face! We rebalance your innerbeauty and your outer beauty.

Treatment

A facelift is outpatient treatment, which do not require admission. You may return home after the operation 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. The excess skin in the face and possibly the neck is removed. In a MACS lift and neck facelift, the underlying connective and muscle tissue is also tightened and the sagging fatty tissue is returned to its original location.

The treatment time depends on the kind of facelift against drooping cheeks. The S-lift takes about 1.5 hours. In this, only the skin of the cheek is lifted. The MACS lift takes about 2 hours, lifting both the skin of the cheek and the underlying supporting tissue. Your jawline becomes tighter and your nasolabial fold more prominent. The extended neck facelift takes a little more time. You get a clearer jaw and neckline and a tighter, more youthful face shape as a result of this procedure. The deep skin folds disappear. The first result is 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 aftercare 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 facelift. 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. In the first three weeks after a facelift, avoid pressing, squeezing, bending or lifting. In the first six weeks, do not engage in heavy physical exertion.

You reach 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 facelift to keep the 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 tanning bed or to the sauna.

Facelift against pendulous cheeks at Skin + Surgery

Facelift against pendulous cheeks - Getting older is a beautiful thing! We become wiser, smarter and, hopefully, more content with ourselves. Of course, the associated consequences of being allowed to grow older are not always pleasant. We get wrinkles, drooping skin flaps and excess fatty tissue that starts to droop. Hanging cheeks are also part of the consequences. A facelift against pendulous cheeks is the solution and helps you feel young, fresh and fruity again. A facelift tegn pendulous cheeks has already helped many feel themselves again.

But what happens during a facelift against pendulous cheeks at Skin + Surgery? That depends on the treatment you choose, as we offer several facelift treatments that can fix pendulous cheeks. In general, the treatments are basically the same. We detach the skin from the subcutaneous connective and muscular tissue. This connective and muscular tissue is the foundation of your face and is even firmer than the skin itself. We lift this part and the skin on top automatically goes with it. So we actually pull your skin back to where it used to be, but not too much. This creates a refreshed look. When a surgeon pulls too far, we end up in the non-natural-looking area. At Skin + Surgery, we never go that far.

Are you curious about which of the facelift treatments for pendulous cheeks offered by Skin Surgery is right for you? We would be happy to discuss your needs during a consultation, after which together we will see what suits you best. Perhaps an S-lift (a minilift), a MACS lift or neck facelift. This page shows an overview of all the facelift options we offer. In addition, our prices page shows an up-to-date overview of all other treatments including the various facelifts. In fact, you can choose to have several treatments at the same time. For example, neck liposuction.

How long does the effect of a facelift last?

The best answer would of course be "forever!", but unfortunately that is not realistic. Everyone has different skin and muscle tissue quality so in some people the effect of a facelift against pendulous cheeks will last longer than in others. You can assume that if you have high skin and muscle tissue quality, the results will last just a bit longer. Again, the same is true for the opposite.

In addition, the quality of your skin tissue also has an effect. This has to do with the amount of elastin your skin contains. A client with a good amount of elasticity will usually experience the effects of a facelift for longer than a patient who has already lost a lot of elasticity. Not ready for a facelift yet, but want to help your skin make a large amount of elastin in the meantime? You can choose to boost your skin's elastin and collagen levels with Profhilo.

Facelift against pendulous cheeks

Hanging cheeks or a tight face?

There is nothing wrong with having droopy cheeks. As we get older, our skin hangs and we lose fat in our face. This causes the skin around our cheeks to start drooping. Some no longer recognise themselves in the mirror because of their droopy cheeks. Hanging skin can make you look tired and while you are still full of energy. Do you want to recognise yourself in the mirror again? Don't hesitate and schedule a no-obligation consultation for a facelift against pendulous cheeks at Skin + Surgery.

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.

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

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 types of lift are there?

The S-Lift: this involves lifting only the skin of the cheek, which is why the procedure is also known as a 'mini lift' or 'mini facelift'. This technique is suitable up to a certain age and if sagging has been limited to the upper 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: here, not only the skin of the cheek is lifted, as in the S-Lift or minilift, 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: in a face/neck lift, not only the skin of the cheek and underlying supporting tissue is lifted via an extended incision behind the ear, but also the neck is lifted along with it.

Neck lift with platysmaplasty: This lift is recommended when the neck (and underlying muscles) in particular are sagging. The skin of the face is not lifted with this treatment.

Face slimming: this unique treatment tackles bulging hamster cheeks and a stubborn double chin. So in this case, there is no massive sagging, but there is unwanted volume that gives you a baby face, for example.

Dr Tha-In Signature Lift: in this lift, all of Dr Tha-In's areas of expertise come together. Combining her years of experience, this lift allows her to tackle multiple problem areas at once and achieves amazing results.

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

Take plenty of 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 post-bleeding and swelling. It promotes healing.
In the first two weeks after treatment, do not press, push, lift or bend.
We advise you not to smoke until the sutures are removed. Smoking increases the risk of complications.
Avoid intensive chewing of solid food. This will put pressure on the sutures in the face.
Do not drink hot drinks, such as tea or coffee, to avoid facial congestion.
Swelling and bruising gets worse in the first three days and then slowly subsides.
It is wise to keep moving normally. This is good for circulation and wound healing.
Do not undertake heavy and strenuous work or sporting activities for the first six weeks.
Plan you socialising. Stay home for a week. The treated area will look blue, swollen and bruised for the first week. Scars may also be red and swollen immediately after treatment. This is sometimes a bit of a shock.
One to two weeks after a facelift, you are usually 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 surgery.
Avoid emotional excitement. After a few weeks, everything will be fine.
