Facelift & Mini-Facelift

Surgical facial rejuvenation at the Czech Republic's largest plastic surgery department — from a mini-facelift under local anaesthesia targeting jowls and lower-face laxity, to a full facelift under general anaesthesia repositioning deeper tissues of the face and neck. The clinic's published menu also covers browlift, necklift and chin liposuction, making combined lower-and-upper-face plans possible within one institution. A full facelift at 75,000 Kč (~€3,000) is among the most competitive teaching-hospital facelift prices in Central Europe.

A facelift remains the only intervention that meaningfully repositions descended facial tissues — something injectables and energy devices can soften but not reverse once jowling and neck laxity are established. **Mini-facelift (55,000 Kč, local anaesthesia):** Through shorter incisions around the ear, the surgeon tightens the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) of the lower face and removes excess skin. Best suited to patients in their 40s–50s with early jowls and good neck skin. Performed as day surgery under local anaesthesia with sedation-level comfort, avoiding general anaesthesia risks and cost. **Full facelift (70,000 Kč LA / 75,000 Kč GA):** Extended incisions allow comprehensive SMAS repositioning, correction of deeper nasolabial heaviness, jowls and neck banding. At FNKV it can be combined with neck lift, brow lift, eyelid surgery or chin liposuction — all procedures on the clinic's published aesthetic menu — to address the face as a whole. **Recovery:** Expect visible bruising and swelling for 2 weeks; most patients are socially comfortable at 2–3 weeks. Sensation around the ears normalises over months. Results typically remain visible for 8–12 years, ageing forward from a younger baseline. **The safety case for a university hospital:** Facelifts are long procedures with meaningful anaesthetic exposure. At FNKV, patients are monitored by attested physicians around the clock, the anaesthesiology and resuscitation clinic is in the same building complex, and above-standard private rooms are available for recovery — infrastructure smaller aesthetic clinics cannot replicate. Surgeons here also perform facial reanimation and reconstructive facial surgery, an anatomical depth that matters when operating near facial nerve branches.
