The facelift in Madrid allows us to restore youthfulness to your face by eliminating all defects caused by aging, sun exposure and other factors such as lack of hydration.
It is a technique whose results are harmonious and natural, and we can combine it with other procedures to maximize them. It is a minimally invasive surgery that allows us to restore youthful aesthetics to your skin.
At Sculpture Clinic we specialize in all types of facial plastic surgery procedures, always supported by the best team of professionals. We will conduct a detailed study of your case to ensure that the facelift suits your needs and expectations.
What does a facelift involve?
As time passes, the facelift remains one of the leading treatments in terms of facial plastic surgery and one of the most sought-after procedures at our center. With this surgery we can reposition tissues that have lost their elasticity and firmness in different areas such as the cheekbone, nasolabial fold or jawline.
We make small incisions in natural skin creases so they are difficult to perceive. One of the advantages of a facelift is that we can combine it with other treatments such as chin liposuction or even fat grafting.
By combining all these treatments we can achieve natural harmonious results without visible scars. We can eliminate excess skin and tighten muscles achieving a youthful appearance and giving more vitality to your facial contours.
The incisions we make are permanent, but we can hide them in the hairline or in natural creases of your face. In any case, there are complementary treatments that can blur and practically eliminate the visibility of these scars.
This surgery is performed under general anesthesia and usually lasts between 3 and 6 hours approximately. In the case of a mini facelift, it can be performed on an outpatient basis, but in most cases it requires one day of hospital admission.
You will be able to resume your normal activities right away, as long as you maintain a few days of rest. Regular activities can be resumed approximately one week from the day of surgery.
Who is a facelift in Madrid indicated for?
The facelift procedure is indicated for all adults who notice that the shape and appearance of their face has changed due to normal aging processes.
As it is a minimally invasive surgical technique, any adult can undergo it. However, because of the age at which these symptoms typically appear, the most common patients at our clinic are those from 35 years old.
The most important facial aging symptoms we can treat with a facelift are the following:
- Sunken-appearing cheeks.
- Excess skin in the lower jawline and chin area.
- A deepening of the skin fold from the side of the nose extending to the corner of the mouth.
- Sagging skin and excess fat in the neck area.
The facelift is not recommended for eliminating other aspects such as superficial wrinkles or age spots caused by excessive sun exposure. To address these, we recommend other less invasive treatments that do not require surgery.
Frequently asked questions
In all facial surgery techniques, the first step is always to conduct a detailed study of each patient’s medical history. We ask a series of questions related to health status and previous medical conditions.
The study consists of taking photographs of the patient’s face from different angles. This allows us to go into more precise details about the shape of our face and how fat and skin are distributed.
Before any facial surgery procedure, we must be clear about what our wishes and expectations are regarding the process. Only this way can we achieve organic and natural results in our procedure.
It is also important to keep the area well hydrated, avoid taking medications that impair proper blood circulation, and also minimize alcohol and tobacco consumption as much as possible.
Once we have completed the facelift procedure, it is normal to experience discomfort in the affected area. This discomfort ranges from mild to moderate and includes swelling and the appearance of small bruises.
Also during the first few hours it is normal to feel some numbness in the face. This will be mainly due to the anesthesia. If the discomfort worsens, you should immediately consult with your doctor.
To ensure the healing process goes as well as possible, we must cover the area with bandages that will apply light pressure, which will minimize both swelling and the appearance of bruises.
It is recommended to rest during the following days always with your head slightly elevated. You can take painkillers always under medical prescription and apply cold compresses to the area, which relieve discomfort.
Other recommendations you should follow in any facelift postoperative period are to avoid using makeup and prolonged sun exposure. You should also avoid being in excessively hot environments, which can dry out the skin.
Strenuous physical exercise is not recommended. In general, you should maintain relative rest during the first month after surgery. It is important to attend follow-up appointments to check how the bandages are progressing and how the incisions are healing.
The results of a facelift are very long-lasting and some are practically permanent. However, it is normal for new signs of aging to reappear over time, which may require another facelift.
At Sculpture Clinic we are committed to maximizing the results of your facelift in Madrid, always guaranteeing a natural and harmonious appearance in your facial features.
A facelift is a surgical procedure performed to reduce signs of aging on the face. The goal of the surgery is to eliminate sagging skin and tighten the muscles of the face and neck.
Depending on which area of the face the procedure is applied to, there are different types of facelifts:
- Forehead lift: focuses on the upper part of the face and aims to elevate drooping eyebrows, eliminate forehead wrinkles and the so-called crow’s feet. This procedure uses local anesthesia and sedation. It is a quick procedure with no visible scars that achieves a very natural result.
- Mid-face lift: also known as a facelift, this treats the cheekbones and jaw area. Sagging skin and fat in the cheeks age the face. This surgery aims to eliminate those wrinkles through incisions that allow for a lift.
- Neck lift: this focuses on the neck area and its purpose is to eliminate skin sagging in this zone, tighten the muscles, and eliminate the double chin. To remove excess fat it is combined with neck liposuction.
Different types of facelifts can be combined in the same surgery.
The duration of the procedure will depend on the type of facelift the patient will have. A facelift, for example, can be performed in an hour and a half. After a few hours of recovery, the patient will be back home.
However, a facelift is a delicate procedure and can sometimes extend up to three hours. The surgeon will always seek a natural result in patients undergoing this surgery.
Recovery varies from patient to patient. However, in general it takes about one month to fully recover from the procedure.
During the first few days after surgery, some swelling and bruising are normal. Your surgeon will recommend the use of compression bandaging. The use of cold compresses will also help improve this.
By the second week, bruising and swelling will be less noticeable. At this point you can return to your regular activities, but without any strenuous work.
After one month, the side effects of surgery will have almost completely disappeared and you will be able to see the results more clearly.
The cost of a facelift in Madrid is determined after the surgeon has evaluated the patient. This is because each person’s needs are unique and there is no standard price.
The type of facelift to be performed, the surgeon, and whether it will be combined with other procedures are some of the factors taken into account when calculating your budget.
