Facelift (Face Lift / Operace Obličeje)

Facelift at SANUS Hradec Králové addresses the most visible signs of facial ageing — descended cheeks, deep nasolabial folds, jowl formation, and neck laxity — through surgical repositioning of the deeper facial tissue layers (SMAS) and removal of excess skin. The SANUS plastic surgery team offers a full range of facial rejuvenation procedures from a mini facelift (20,000 Kč) through to comprehensive facelift with platysmaplasty (50,000 Kč), as well as standalone temporal lifts, neck lifts, and endoscopic brow lifts. All procedures take place in an ISO 9001-certified surgical facility with inpatient recovery included.

Facelift surgery (operace obličeje) at SANUS Hradec Králové is performed in the clinic's dedicated surgical suite at Labská kotlina 1220/69 by specialist plastic surgeons MUDr. Robert Čáp, Ph.D. and MUDr. Erik Antuš. The clinic holds ISO 9001 certification and performs over 4,000 operations per year, giving the surgical team experience across the full spectrum of facial rejuvenation. Facelift surgery at SANUS encompasses several distinct procedures that can be performed individually or combined depending on the patient's anatomy and goals: **Standard facelift (45,000 Kč)** — Addresses the mid and lower face. Incisions are placed in the hairline and around the ear, allowing the surgeon to reposition the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) — the deeper facial muscle layer — and remove excess overlying skin. The result is a refreshed, natural contour without the windswept appearance associated with skin-only pulls. **Facelift with platysmaplasty (50,000 Kč)** — Extends the standard lift to address neck banding and platysma (neck muscle) laxity, creating a more defined jaw-to-neck transition. **Mini facelift (20,000 Kč)** — A shorter-incision procedure suited to mild early jowling and lower-face descent in patients in their early to mid-forties. Recovery is faster due to the limited tissue handling. **Temporal lift / brow suspension (15,000 Kč)** and **Endoscopic brow lift (38,000 Kč)** — Correct a descended or heavy brow that gives a tired appearance. **Neck lift (15,000 Kč)** — Isolated tightening of neck skin and muscle for patients with early turkey-neck deformity without significant cheek descent. All procedures are performed under general or deep sedation anaesthesia. Inpatient recovery of one to two nights is standard for full facelifts; mini and isolated lifts may be completed as day procedures. Swelling and bruising are typically at their peak in the first week and largely resolve over three to four weeks, with final results fully visible at three to six months as tissue settles. Scars are placed in natural skin folds and along the hairline, becoming difficult to detect as they mature over twelve months.
