The facelift is one of the best-known terms in plastic surgery and means the tightening of the face. Over the past decades the methods have become considerably more refined: through an ever better understanding of the individual anatomical layers of the face, lifts can be planned in a more minimally invasive way today. A facelift raises the sunken soft tissue of the face again and thereby smooths the cheek, neck and, where appropriate, the forehead area. Small lines around the mouth and eyes we treat in combination – for example with the transfer of nano fat or medical needling. At our practice clinic in Oldenburg we plan every facelift individually according to your findings.
Most patients have great respect for a facelift because they know examples of over-tightening from television or social media. Our aim is a rejuvenation of the face by 5 to 10 years – a fresher expression without looking operated on.
The incision runs in front of and partly behind the ear. If the facelift is combined with a forehead lift, the incision extends to behind the front hairline. What is tightened is the stable subcutaneous tissue (SMAS) – that is what gives a long-lasting result. A facelift can win back about 5 to 10 years; if the soft tissue sinks again after that time, the procedure can be repeated. We do not want to create a mask-like appearance; there are too many negative examples of that. Facial expression and natural features are preserved.
Most frequently in patients over 50. Depending on genetic predisposition, however, the soft tissue and the skin of the face can slacken before the age of 50. Anyone with a history of cortisone treatment or considerable weight loss behind them sometimes benefits from a facelift considerably earlier.
The marionette line can only be treated with hyaluronic acid with difficulty – at least not without creating a “moon face”. The facelift produces the better effect: we return the soft tissue whose sinking causes the marionette line to its original position.
The cost depends on the effort involved: is a pure mid-face lift performed, or is a simultaneous neck lift required, possibly with local liposuction? The facelift can be combined with many methods, and that influences the price. Smaller variants of the facelift, already with a considerable effect, start at about €5,000. After the first consultation you receive a fixed cost estimate.
We carry out smaller variants of the facelift under local anaesthesia with light sedation. We are happy to offer larger lifting operations under general anaesthesia where required. We will gladly draw up your individual treatment plan.

As early as the preparatory consultation with advice, detailed information about risks and an examination, we plan the operation. Our aim is to respond to your wishes and needs as well as possible before the procedure.
On the day of the operation, which we carry out in our own rooms in Oldenburg, you are scheduled in such a way that long waiting times are avoided. I will then go through what we discussed with you once more and repeat the markings. Our nursing and anaesthesia team will look after you. We carry out larger lifts as an inpatient procedure and the mini lift as an outpatient one. If you stay overnight, a nurse looks after you throughout the night; I myself am close by and take personal care of your physical wellbeing.
The advantage of a facelift lies in the considerably younger appearance of the facial contours, which would be practically impossible without an operation. Alternatives are a lift with hyaluronic acid and laser treatments – with an advanced ageing process, however, they reach their limits and no longer deliver a satisfying result. After the procedure small bruises and areas of hardening often occur which loosen considerably within the first six months. As with every operation, infections and wound healing problems are possible, and rarely temporary numbness in the cheek area.
Whether a mini lift, a MACS lift or a combination with an eyelid lift and a neck lift: what will do your face good is something we see in a personal conversation. You receive an honest assessment of which methods make sense – and which do not. Arrange a consultation appointment at our practice clinic.

Most frequently in patients over 50. Depending on predisposition, after cortisone treatment or after considerable weight loss, slackening can also set in earlier – you would then benefit correspondingly sooner.

Only with difficulty – too much hyaluronic acid creates a round “moon face”. For marionette lines the facelift works better, because we return the sunken soft tissue that causes the line to its original position.

You are able to face other people after about 14 days; the hair-fine stitches are removed after 7 days. A compression bandage is worn permanently for 2 weeks and for a further 4 weeks at night, showering is possible from the 2nd day and sport after 6 weeks.
Yes. If the soft tissue sinks again after years, the procedure can be repeated. In between, the result can be maintained with hyaluronic acid, botox or laser.
