Treatment
The facelift in Rotterdam is a treatment under sedation and local anaesthesia. No admission is required. In an S-lift, or mini-lift, the skin of the cheek is lifted. The treatment takes about 1.5 hours. In the MACS lift, the cheek skin and underlying supporting tissue are lifted. The treatment time is about 2 hours. In the slightly longer facelift and face-neck lift, the cheek skin, supporting tissue and neck are lifted through an incision behind the ear. Excess skin is removed, after which the skin is tightened again. The first result shows after 1 to 2 weeks. The final, natural result after a few months to a year. You can enjoy this for 10 to 15 years.

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.
