QuickLift Facelift (Local Anaesthesia)

QuickLift is a mini-facelift technique performed entirely under local anaesthesia that targets sagging of the lower face and neck. Arte Clinic states it is the only certified clinic in the Czech Republic and Slovakia performing facelifts using the QuickLift method. The roughly two-hour outpatient procedure tightens the SMAS layer through shorter incisions hidden around the ear, with swelling typically subsiding within 7–10 days and results reported to last 5–8 years.

The QuickLift is a variant of the short-scar (mini) facelift designed for patients with early to moderate jowling and loose skin of the lower face and neck who want meaningful, surgical-grade tightening without general anaesthesia or an overnight stay. Through incisions concealed around the ear, the surgeon elevates the skin, then tightens the underlying SMAS layer with a continuous purse-string suture, redraping the skin without excessive tension. Because the procedure is performed under local anaesthesia with optional light sedation, the medical risks and recovery burden associated with general anaesthesia are avoided and patients go home the same day. Arte Clinic promotes itself as the only certified QuickLift clinic in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and the method is one of its signature procedures with verified client reviews on its website. The procedure takes about two hours. Sutures are removed progressively between days 9 and 21, home rest of 3–5 days is recommended, and visible swelling generally settles within 7–10 days — most patients are socially presentable within about two weeks. The clinic reports results lasting 5–8 years. Candidacy is assessed at a free consultation; the QuickLift suits patients in their 40s–60s with mild to moderate lower-face laxity, while more advanced ageing may be better served by the deep plane facelift.
