Facelift & Facial Rejuvenation Surgery

Surgical facelift at Schönheitsklinik Berlin Dr Abtin Alvand to address facial sagging, jowl formation, and neck laxity. Procedures address the SMAS layer and soft tissue for natural, long-lasting facial repositioning. Standalone or combined with forehead lift, midface lift, and neck lift. Performed under general anaesthesia; most patients return to normal activities within three to four weeks.

Facelift surgery at Schönheitsklinik Berlin Dr Abtin Alvand targets the anatomical changes of facial ageing: descent of the malar fat pad, jowl formation along the jawline, deepening of the nasolabial folds, and laxity in the neck and platysmal region. Dr. Alvand's approach addresses the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) — the deeper fibromuscular layer beneath the skin — rather than simply re-draping the skin surface, which produces a more natural and durable outcome and avoids the telltale overstretched appearance associated with older, tension-based skin-only techniques. Surgical options range from a limited mini-lift for early jowl formation to a full SMAS or composite facelift for comprehensive rejuvenation of the lower two-thirds of the face. Combining a facelift with a forehead or brow lift addresses the upper facial third simultaneously, and a neck lift (with or without platysmaplasty) defines the cervicomental angle for a younger jawline-to-neck transition. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia. Hospital stay is typically one day; bruising and swelling peak in the first week and improve significantly by two to three weeks, with most patients feeling comfortable in social settings by three to four weeks. The clinic in Berlin serves patients from across Germany and from neighbouring European countries for whom a high-quality result in a major medical hub is the priority. Long-term results depend partly on patient skin quality and lifestyle, with typical durability of seven to ten years before secondary ageing changes may warrant refinement.
