Facelift (Classic, Mini & Lower)

Facelift surgery at GISANT restores definition to the face and neck by lifting and repositioning the skin and underlying SMAS layer and removing surplus tissue. The clinic offers three options: a classic facelift (CZK 69,000) for the full face and neck, a mini facelift (CZK 39,000) focused on the lower face and early jowling, and a lower facelift (CZK 54,000) targeting the jawline and neck region. Lead surgeon MUDr. Tarek Rashed performs facelift surgery frequently. Incisions are placed around the ear and hairline so scars are concealed. The procedure is typically chosen from around age 40; pre-operatively, blood-thinners are stopped two to three weeks before and patients should be free of acute illness for three weeks.

A surgical facelift remains the most effective way to restore visible youth to the lower face, jawline and neck because it physically repositions tissue that has descended with gravity and ageing — something no injectable or energy device can replicate. GISANT offers three configurations matched to the degree of ageing. The classic facelift (CZK 69,000) addresses the full mid-to-lower face and neck, lifting and re-draping the skin and the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) — the fibromuscular layer beneath the skin — before securing it in a more youthful position and conservatively removing excess skin. The mini facelift (CZK 39,000) uses shorter incisions concentrated around the ear and is best suited to patients with early-to-moderate jowling and good skin tone who want a refreshed look with a quicker recovery. The lower facelift (CZK 54,000) targets the jawline, jowls and upper neck specifically. Lead surgeon MUDr. Tarek Rashed performs facelift surgery as one of his most frequent procedures. In each approach, incisions are placed in the hairline and around the ear so that healed scars fall within natural skin folds and behind the ear. The SMAS-based technique avoids the tight, windswept look that results from skin-only tension, producing a natural rejuvenation. The operation is performed under general anaesthesia with an overnight stay, both billed separately per the price list. After surgery, a supportive dressing is worn to support the tissues, stitches are removed in stages, and swelling and bruising settle over the first weeks. Patients typically return to social activities within one to two weeks, with the result continuing to refine over the following months. A brow lift or eyelid surgery can be combined for a comprehensive facial refresh. Facelift surgery is typically chosen from around age 40, when skin and tissue laxity become apparent, and suits patients across a wide age range. Pre-operatively, patients should be free of acute illness for around three weeks and stop blood-thinning medication two to three weeks before surgery, as advised. Smoking impairs healing and should be avoided around the procedure.
