FACELIFT AT THE NOAHKLINIK KASSEL
20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH FACELIFT & FACE LIFTS
The skin loses elasticity with age. The tension of the muscles of the face decreases, the ageing process shows - both in the face and on the neck. Recent research has shown that ageing is also associated with a change in the distribution of fat in the face. These effects of the ageing process can usually be visibly improved by surgically tightening the skin, subcutaneous connective tissue, fatty tissue and neck muscles. The face looks naturally fresh and not mask-like after the procedure.

FACELIFT: HOW DOES THE FACE LIFT WORK?
With the facelift, especially the SMAS lift, safe and long-lasting results can be achieved. It is important that it is not the skin but the connective and fatty tissue that holds the rejuvenated shape. With a SMAS lift, muscles, connective and fatty tissue are lifted and reshaped. This SMAS lift with fat redistribution enables the long-term results. The skin alone, which is corrected in so-called weekend facelifts, quickly gives way again.
The skin tightening is performed under general anaesthesia. The small scars disappear in the hair. In the first days after the operation you should keep your head still to minimise swelling. Sports as well as heavy physical activity are possible again after about six weeks.
FACELIFT IN THE HEAD AREA - HELP WITH ANNOYING TRANSVERSE WRINKLES
A sign of the ageing process is when the first transverse wrinkles appear on the forehead, the upper eyelids become heavier and crow's feet appear. The face looks slightly tired, the look sad. A facelift that only corrects the forehead can remedy this problem.
Two methods are available for forehead lifting: The endoscopic and the classic Forehead lift. The endoscopic operation has the advantage that emphasis is placed on concealed and practically invisible incisions. Through tiny incisions in the hairy area, the brows are lifted and the muscles between the eyes are weakened. Mimic wrinkles, especially frown lines, are smoothed out.
In the case of advanced ageing with sagging skin and deep forehead wrinkles, the classic forehead lift is recommended. This involves making appropriate skin incisions in the area of the hairline.
Thanks to our experience, we achieve "invisible scarring" with the forehead lift, so that even if the forehead hair recedes or a short hairstyle is worn, the scar is barely visible. The forehead lift procedure is performed under general anaesthesia or twilight sleep, and the in-patient stay lasts one day. Swelling usually subsides within a week and the hair can be washed again after 3 days.
By the way: A forehead lift can reduce migraine attacks. The reason: strongly developed muscles in the forehead area can press on nerves and thus trigger pain. According to studies, a targeted weakening of these muscles can alleviate the symptoms.
REMOVE WRINKLES ON THE FACE, NECK AND EYEBROWS WITH A LIFT
In some cases it makes sense to combine the facelift with a neck lift. Because the sagging of the neck is unfortunately a particularly conspicuous consequence of age. Even on faces that are otherwise little marked by age, the neck area and the neck fold look powerless and unattractive. In this case, a neck lift alone can also offer help. With modern surgical procedures it is possible to leave barely visible scars.
The ageing process can also be seen on the eyebrows. A remedy is an eyebrow lift, which we perform in our clinic in Kassel for drooping or sagging eyelids and wrinkles around the brows.
Think about the follow-up cost insurance!
In the event of any complications, the health insurance companies can contribute to the follow-up costs (§52 Social Security Code). It is therefore advisable to take out follow-up costs insurance. Prof. Noah will be happy to advise you on this.
We look forward to your visit!
