Facelift — SDP-Lift® & Facial Rejuvenation Surgery

Full facelift surgery including the clinic's proprietary SDP-Lift® technique developed by Dr. Michael König, plus brow and forehead lift, neck lift, upper and lower eyelid surgery, and facial contouring procedures. The SDP-Lift® is designed to address skin laxity and deeper tissue changes with results that are natural rather than pulled. All surgical facial rejuvenation is performed in the clinic's licensed private operating theatre with inpatient care.

Klinik am Ring in Cologne is home to the SDP-Lift®, a facelift technique developed and refined by Dr. med. Michael A. König over more than three decades and 6,000+ aesthetic surgical procedures. The SDP-Lift® addresses the effects of skin laxity and volume loss that accumulate over time, using an approach that Dr. König considers more natural in its results than conventional facelifts — the exact technical detail of the method is proprietary but is discussed in detail at pre-operative consultation. The clinic's surgical programme spans the entire upper and lower face: brow and forehead lift to correct drooping brows; upper eyelid blepharoplasty to remove redundant upper-lid skin that can affect both appearance and visual field; lower eyelid surgery to address puffiness, hollows or laxity beneath the eyes; neck lift to tighten loose skin and muscle along the jawline and neck; and facial contouring procedures addressing the chin and cheekbones. All surgical work is carried out in the clinic's state-licensed operating theatre inside the Hohenstaufenring 28 building in central Cologne, Germany. The facility has 25 private inpatient beds plus a monitoring unit and is staffed by physicians and nurses around the clock, ensuring that patients recovering from more involved procedures have continuous professional support. The clinic holds ISO 9001-2008 certification and a TÜV quality seal, underscoring its commitment to clinical standards. Pricing for facelift surgery is individual and requires a free initial consultation to finalise, because duration of anaesthesia, operating time and length of inpatient stay all vary by case. The hotel partner arrangement with the Steigenberger Hotel Cologne — a 10% patient discount — helps with recovery accommodation for those coming from other parts of Germany or from abroad.
