Facelift for a facial rejuvenation
Madrid | Zurich
A facelift and/or neck lift is one of the most effective ways to revitalize facial appearance. In recent years, rhytidectomy techniques have evolved thanks to complementary procedures such as facial fat grafting and peels, which achieve comprehensive, harmonious, and natural results.
Under the medical direction of Dr. Richard Fakin, with clinics in Madrid and Zurich, facial and/or neck lift procedures are performed with the goal of achieving high levels of patient satisfaction and aesthetic recognition. These treatments can be combined with other interventions—such as blepharoplasty, brow lift, lip lift, rhinoplasty, or chin augmentation with implants—for an even more balanced outcome.
Prior to each procedure, we conduct a personalized assessment of the patient’s anatomy and bone structure to design an individualized surgical plan.

Which facelift technique is best for each patient?
Choosing the right facelift depends on factors like age, skin type, and the patient’s unique anatomical features. At Dr. Fakin’s clinics, these aspects are evaluated to determine whether a minimal-scar open facelift, a mini facelift, or a more extensive procedure is appropriate. Possible improvements to the eyelids or brows are also considered, ensuring harmony and an optimal facial contour.

How is a facelift procedure performed?
Surgery begins with a small incision and the use of advanced technology to minimize post-operative swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Initially, liposuction may be performed on the lower face and submandibular area.
Next, the plane beneath the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) is prepared to reposition the skin and facial muscles, redefining the desired contour. After adjusting the skin, supporting techniques such as blepharoplasty, chemical peels, or fat injections can be incorporated to achieve a more harmonious result.

How long do the face and neck lift procedure results last?
Results typically last between 7 and 10 years, depending on lifestyle factors and aftercare. It is important to remember that the natural aging process continues, so combining a facelift with a comprehensive aesthetic care plan is recommended to prolong and optimize its effects.
