Facelift (Face & Neck Lift)

The surgical facelift at Cleopatra Clinic repositions descended facial and neck tissues and tightens the underlying muscle layer — addressing jowls, deep nasolabial folds, and loose neck skin that fillers and threads cannot fully correct. The published 35,000–85,000 Kč range spans limited lower-face lifts to full face-and-neck lifts with muscle tightening, performed under general anaesthesia with medication and follow-up checks included.

A facelift remains the definitive correction for the structural changes of facial ageing: descent of the cheek fat pads, jowls blurring the jawline, deepened nasolabial folds, and laxity of the neck and platysma muscle. Unlike injectable approaches, the operation repositions tissue at the muscle layer, producing a result measured in years rather than months. **The operation at Cleopatra Clinic:** through incisions concealed around the ear and into the hairline, the surgeon lifts the skin, tightens the underlying SMAS muscle-fascia layer of the face and the platysma of the neck, redrapes the skin without over-tension, and removes only the genuine excess. Tightening the muscle layer — explicitly included in the clinic's description ('vypnutí a úprava poklesu, vrásek + svalů') — is what avoids the wind-tunnel look of older skin-only lifts. **The range (35,000–85,000 Kč)** reflects scope: a limited lift of the lower face sits at the bottom; a full face-and-neck lift with extensive muscle work at the top. The surgeon defines the exact plan and fixed price at consultation. For patients with earlier-stage laxity, the clinic also offers a barbed-thread lift (12 threads, 19,000–29,000 Kč) as a less invasive alternative — often a better fit under 50. **Recovery:** performed under general anaesthesia, usually with an overnight stay. A supportive bandage is worn in the first days; bruising and swelling settle over 2–3 weeks, which is the usual social downtime. Scars around the ears mature and fade over months. Results typically remain visible for 7–10 years. **Included:** surgery, general anaesthesia, post-operative analgesics, and all routine checks and dressings. Pre-operative internal examination (2,000–2,500 Kč), hospitalisation, and consultation are separate. Payment: 30% deposit, up to six interest-free instalments.
