International exchange on the topic of facelift

Professional exchange at an international level: Dr. Waldhauser and Dr. Spanholtz meeting facelift experts
Voday, many minor signs of ageing on the face can be improved by non-surgical measures. However, certain signs of ageing can only be corrected by surgical measures. Facelift surgery often has a bad reputation, as frightening examples in the press unsettle patients. Today, aesthetic surgery can help to restore a natural and youthful facial expression with gentle measures.

What can a modern facelift do?
There are three types of facelift: the forehead lift, the facelift and the neck lift. Strictly speaking, these are three different procedures, but they can and should be combined to varying degrees depending on the initial situation and the patient's expectations.
As the name suggests, the forehead lift mainly affects the area above the eyebrows, the facelift improves the cheek and jaw area and the neck lift concentrates on the neck area. In many cases, a combination of facelift and neck lift is performed, which together is also known as a lower facelift. Conspicuous scars in the facial area are largely avoided today and the use of modern instruments and technologies means that facial areas can be tightened that were either inaccessible or only accessible at great risk just a few years ago.
For further information, please see the bottom of the page. This is where the advantages and disadvantages of the procedures are presented and the risks and side effects are explained. However, this cannot replace a personal consultation (also via video), in which these aspects are explained and adapted individually. We therefore look forward to a personal consultation with you!
