About the treatment

Classic Facelift
A classic facelift targets the midface and neck. During the procedure, the surgeon lifts and tightens both the skin and the deeper tissues of the face and neck, reducing loose skin, sagging cheeks, jawline, and neck. Incisions are discreetly placed around the ear and along the hairline, to minimize visible scarring. The outcome is a naturally tightened face with a more defined jawline and smoother skin texture, without altering your facial features. Recovery may involve some swelling and bruising, which gradually subside over a few weeks. The final result is visible after 3–6 months.

Endoscopic Facelift
Also known as an upper facelift, an endoscopic facelift is a gentle technique that lifts deeper facial structures through a few small incisions hidden in the hairline. Using a thin camera, the surgeon can precisely release and reposition tissue without removing any skin. This method provides a natural lift, particularly to the cheeks, midface, and brow area. Recovery time is typically shorter than with a classic facelift. The result is a subtle, rejuvenating lift with minimal visible scarring.

Caolín Signature Babylift
Caolín Signature endoscopic Babylift is our signature technique for a completely natural facelift. With a few discreet incisions hidden in the hairline, we lift and reposition tissue and muscles, reducing under-eye bags and downward folds. The skin is only lightly tightened, resulting in a fresh, harmonious appearance. Recovery time is short, and your unique facial features remain unchanged. Experience a subtle, naturally rejuvenating lift that feels entirely natural.

Preliminary consultation

PRE-OPERATIVE CONSULTATION

Before deciding on a facelift, you must meet with our surgeon for a pre-consultation. During this consultation, you will discuss your expectations, and the surgeon will evaluate what will yield the best results for you. You will also receive a thorough overview of your options, and the risks associated with each surgical option. The surgeon will ask about your health to ensure you are suitable for surgery.

Based on your expectations and the surgeon’s recommendations, you will plan your surgery together. You are welcome to bring another person to the pre-consultation, as there is a lot of information to consider.

According to the law, you must have a 7-day reflection period after the pre-consultation before you can give your final consent to cosmetic surgery.

EXPECTATIONS

At Caolín, facelift procedures are tailored to your individual facial structure and desires.During a facelift, the skin is tightened, and any excess skin is removed. Additionally, the underlying muscle is tightened.

There are several different techniques for performing a facelift, so the size and placement of scars may vary.Our surgeon will determine which technique is most suitable for you.

It is important to be aware that the results of cosmetic surgery are not permanent. The natural aging process and the rate of body aging are influenced by both genetic factors and lifestyle factors such as smoking, sun exposure, and weight changes.

Additionally, it is important to understand that surgery always carries a risk of complications, and the result may not always match your or the surgeon’s expectations completely.

If you are significantly overweight or underweight, there is an increased risk of complications with anesthesia and wound healing. If your BMI is over 30, we may not be able to offer you surgery.

Before the operation

PREPARATION

Before the surgery, you must:

Stop taking medication containing acetylsalicylic acid such as Magnyl, Aspirin, Ibuprofen, and Treo one week before the surgery.

Avoid natural medicines, especially fish oil, ginger, and vitamin D, as they can increase the risk of bleeding. Stop all natural medicines three weeks before the surgery.

Any blood-thinning medication may need to be paused. This will be discussed with the surgeon during the pre-consultation.

Smoking must be paused least 4 weeks before and 6 weeks after the surgery. Smoking can negatively affect the cosmetic outcome, increase the risk of infection, and is generally bad for your health. We often choose not to offer surgery to active smokers.

It is a good idea to shop and prepare meals before the surgery, so you can focus on your recovery afterward.

On the day of the surgery, you should take a shower with thorough cleansing of your body and hair. Avoid using body lotion or other products on the area to be operated on.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing, preferably a zip-up blouse, loose fitting pants, and flat shoes. Remove all jewelry and any piercings and leave them at home.

ANESTHESIA

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. You must fast for 6 hours before the surgery (no eating, chewing gum, smoking, or similar). You may drink clear fluids like water and sugary drinks in small amounts until 2 hours before the surgery; do not drink milk, juice, etc.

It is crucial to adhere to the fasting rules, as anesthesia can be dangerous if you are not fasting, and the surgery is canceled, if you are not fasting.


During the operation

OPERATION

On the day of the surgery, arrive at the clinic at the scheduled time. A nurse will greet you and you will be shown to your room, change clothes, and have an intravenous line placed. The anesthesiologist will discuss the anesthesia with you, and finally, you will meet with the surgeon, who will ensure you feel comfortable and well-informed. The surgeon will also mark the area to be operated on.

The operation is performed under general anesthesia, and the duration depends on the specific procedure.In some cases, the surgeon may place one or two drains (small plastic tubes). These are inserted through the skin to drain any blood and wound fluid from the healing surfaces.To reduce the risk of infection, you will be given antibiotics during the operation.

The wounds are closed with internal sutures, covered with tape, and a compressive dressing is applied. Finally, a compression bandage will be placed over the area.

After the surgery

AFTER SURGERY

After the surgery, you will be taken to the recovery room where the nurse will monitor you. You will receive something to drink and eat and pain reliefers if needed. Depending on the extent of the surgery, you may be discharged after a few hours.

Before you go home, the plastic surgeon and nurse will review the post-operative precautions with you and answer any questions you may have to ensure you feel comfortable. You should arrange for someone to pick you up, as you will not be able to drive yourself.

Swelling and bruising are normal during the first few weeks and will gradually subside.

A Caolín Signature Babylift lifts and repositions tissue and muscles, helping to reduce under-eye bags and downward folds. A classic facelift tightens the skin and deeper tissue in the lower face and neck, helping to smooth deeper folds and early jowls. An endoscopic facelift, also known as an upper facelift, lifts the cheeks, midface, and brows.

The scars are placed discreetly around the ear and along the hairline.

In modern facelifts, the deeper tissue layers are typically treated to achieve a more natural and long-lasting result.

The result is long-lasting, but the aging process naturally continues.
