Improve your
confidence
with a Facelift
Thanks to new techniques a facelift has become a less invasive surgery. This has led to shorter operating times, smaller scars and a shorter recovery time. But what might be even more important is; the facelift techniques being used by plastic surgeons at OCP give an even better and more natural youthful effect.
Upon the first contact with our Plastic Surgery department, you will be in contact with your own, dedicated Patient Coordinator.

The Procedure
Every facelift sugery is tailored to your requirements, following your needs and expectations. The incision that is used to perform the facelift will be made as short as possible. The standard incision in front of the ear till the ear lobe will, if necessary, extended up to the hair line, above the ear or sometimes also behind the ear; depending on you personal circumstances (build, type, condition of skin, sex, etc.). For a facelift the skin will be lifted upwards, if the neck is also lifted, then sometimes the skin is also tightened backwards.
During the procedure
During the procedure the skin is being detached from the subcutaneous connective and muscular tissue (SMAS). This SMAS layer is the foundation of the face and has a lot more firmness than the skin itself. Bt lifting the SMAS, the skin will go with this layer which creates the refreshing effect. Using special sutures, the SMAS layer is tightened and fixated. This way you will have a longer effect of the procedure. Lastly, the excess skin is being removed and the skin is sutured with any tension. This last part is important to make sure that the scar is practically invisible.
Anesthesia
The use of anesthesia used depends on the type of facelift you will undergo. The type of anesthesia may be local anesthesia for a short-scar facelift, sedation or general anesthesia. In case of sedation you will be relaxed and sleeping. You will not feel anything during the procedure, but you can easily being awoken.
