A facelift at Medical Institut lifts and repositions sagging facial tissue to soften jowls, deep folds and a heavy lower face. The clinic offers a graded menu rather than one procedure: a SMAS lift that tightens the deeper muscle-fascia layer for long-lasting results, a deep-plane lift that releases and repositions tissue for the most complete rejuvenation, and combined face-and-neck versions. For those wanting a smaller intervention, a thread-based mini-lift is also offered. Procedures are surgeon-led and tailored to how much laxity is present and where, so the technique and price match the face rather than a one-size package.
About this treatment
A facelift (rhytidectomy) repositions the deeper structural layers of the face and removes excess skin to address sagging cheeks, jowls and folds that creams and injectables can no longer correct. Medical Institut in Plzeň offers a tiered range so the operation matches the degree of ageing. A SMAS facelift (91,500 Kč) tightens the superficial musculoaponeurotic system — the fibrous layer beneath the skin — for results that outlast a skin-only lift, and…
During surgery the surgeon makes incisions around the ear and hairline, lifts the chosen tissue plane, repositions and secures it, then trims excess skin and closes so scars sit in natural creases. It suits people in their late 40s and beyond troubled by jowls, marionette lines, a slack jawline or a sagging neck. A consultation reviews skin quality, bone structure and goals to choose between SMAS, deep-plane and combined approaches.
Expect swelling and bruising for two to three weeks, with a supportive dressing early on; most social downtime is a couple of weeks and the final, settled result appears over several months as tissues relax. Strenuous activity, smoking and sun are restricted during healing. A facelift does not stop ageing and results vary; non-surgical options are discussed for those not yet ready for surgery.
