About Facelift

A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is an aesthetic surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the face and neck by correcting visible signs of aging. The procedure involves tightening and repositioning the skin and underlying facial muscles to achieve a younger, fresher look.

At Topmed Medical Center Târgu Mureș, our experienced plastic surgeons use modern, minimally invasive techniques to deliver natural and long-lasting results.

Facelift is one of the most effective solutions for those who want to reduce deep wrinkles, sagging skin, and other visible signs of aging while restoring youthful facial contours without compromising natural facial expressions.

When is a facelift recommended?

A facelift is especially recommended for those showing visible signs of aging such as:

Sagging skin

As we age, the skin on the face and neck loses elasticity. The cheeks, jawline, and neck can sag, resulting in an older appearance.

Deep wrinkles and folds

Facelift effectively reduces or eliminates deep lines, such as nasolabial folds between the nose and mouth, as well as deep wrinkles on the forehead or around the eyes.

Loss of facial contour

Aging causes the natural contours of the chin and jawline to blur, giving a tired and less defined look.

Sagging neck skin

Facelift can be combined with neck lift surgery to remove excess skin and fat from the neck area, resulting in a younger appearance.

Types of facelift

At Topmed Medical Center Târgu Mureș, we offer several types of facelift procedures, always tailored to each patient’s individual needs and expectations:

1. Full facelift

A comprehensive procedure that tightens the skin and muscles of the upper and lower face, including neck correction. Ideal for those with advanced signs of aging, providing an overall rejuvenating effect.

2. Partial facelift

A less invasive procedure that focuses on the lower and middle parts of the face, such as lifting and tightening the jawline and cheeks. Provides subtle, natural correction.

3. SMAS facelift

An advanced technique that not only tightens the skin but also repositions and tightens deeper tissue and muscle layers. It achieves more natural and long-lasting results, avoiding an overly tight or artificial look while preserving natural facial expressions.

How is the facelift procedure performed?

At Topmed Medical Center Târgu Mureș, the facelift procedure is performed in a safe and comfortable environment using modern techniques. Surgery can be done under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the patient’s preferences. The operation lasts between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the chosen type and areas treated.

Incisions

The surgeon makes discreet incisions along hidden areas such as the hairline and around the ears to keep scars concealed. For neck lifts, an additional incision may be needed under the chin.

Lifting the skin and repositioning the muscles

After the incisions, the skin is carefully lifted. Deeper tissues and muscles are tightened and secured to restore natural firmness. Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is smoothed for a youthful, natural appearance.

Closing the incisions

The incisions are closed with fine sutures or special skin adhesive to make scars as inconspicuous as possible. Our expert team uses advanced closure techniques to support fast healing and ensure discreet scars.

Facelift recovery

Postoperative recovery

Recovery after a facelift requires time and careful care, but at Topmed Medical Center Târgu Mureș, patients receive full professional support throughout the healing process.

  • Immediate postoperative period: Patients may experience swelling, bruising, and tightness in the face. These are normal and usually subside gradually over days or weeks. Our doctors may prescribe medication to reduce pain and inflammation.
  • Resuming daily activities: Most patients can return to light daily activities about 10–14 days after surgery. However, strenuous physical activity and prolonged sun exposure should be avoided for a few weeks. Social and work activities can usually resume after 2–4 weeks when swelling has significantly reduced.
  • Scar care: Our surgeons carefully plan incision placement to minimize visible scarring. We provide detailed guidance on scar care, including special creams and treatments that promote faster healing.

Results and benefits of facelift

Final results become visible a few months after surgery, when swelling has completely resolved and the skin adapts to its new contours.

Restored facial firmness and contour

Tightening the skin and repositioning muscles gives the face a more youthful, firmer, and defined appearance.

Correction of deep wrinkles

Effectively reduces or eliminates deep folds, such as nasolabial lines, for a fresher, well-rested look.

Enhanced jawline and chin contour

Correcting sagging skin along the jawline creates a more defined, harmonious, and aesthetic facial contour.

Thanks to advanced techniques used at Topmed Medical Center, facelift results look natural while delivering long-lasting rejuvenation.
