Gentle facelift through targeted tissue tightening – look radiant and younger with natural results

Whether we like it or not, skin ageing is a natural process that we cannot stop. Subtle changes begin as early as our mid-20s: The tissue loses elasticity and moisture, and the first fine lines or wrinkles can appear. Over the years, these signs of aging become more pronounced as the production of collagen and elastin – two essential structural proteins of our skin – continuously decreases. This often leads to facial areas losing contour and tension.

A facelift can specifically counteract this process if these changes are perceived as disturbing. Modern techniques can be used to create a fresh, rejuvenated appearance without altering the naturalness of your face. This article will give you an overview of the facelift options.

Why does the skin lose elasticity?

As we age, the skin undergoes numerous changes. One of the main reasons for this is the decreasing production of structural proteins such as collagen and elastin. These proteins are responsible for elasticity and resilience and act as a scaffold that supports the skin. From the age of around 25, this production begins to decline, making the skin appear less firm.

In addition, the supply of moisture to the connective tissue decreases, causing it to lose its firmness. This process leads to expression lines – such as laugh lines or frown lines – becoming increasingly visible over time. The result is a gradual change in the appearance of the skin.

However, environmental factors and personal lifestyle also have an influence on our skin. For example, intense UV radiation, smoking and an unhealthy diet can accelerate skin ageing. And finally, changes in weight can also play a role. For example, greater weight loss can also be noticeable on the face.

Myth: Why we are already talking about wrinkles at 25 – what’s behind it?

The age of 25 is often cited as the key point at which the first signs of skin ageing can become visible. However, this is merely a guide. In fact, the gradual decline in cell renewal and the production of collagen and elastin begins from this age.

For the skin, this means that it begins to slowly lose its youthful elasticity and ability to regenerate. Although these changes usually only become visible later, the actual extent depends on genetic factors, lifestyle and external influences such as UV radiation.

Which areas of the face are tightened?

A facelift offers an effective way of tightening various parts of the face in a targeted manner. Depending on individual needs, the procedure can cover the following areas:

• Forehead: smoothing of worry and frown lines
• Eye area: treatment of crow’s feet and other wrinkles
• Mouth area: Refreshing the mouth area and reducing marionette lines
• Cheeks: Restoration of contours and volume
• Chin and neck: tightening to improve a harmonious profile

The treatment is individually tailored to your wishes in order to achieve a balanced and natural overall result.

What techniques are used for a facelift?

At Tremp Plastic Surgery, we use modern and proven methods to offer you the best possible result. The aim is to tighten the skin and remove any excess tissue. In some cases, volume loss can also be compensated for using autologous fat transfer. The most common facelift techniques are

• Combined face and neck lift: Suitable for more extensive changes to harmoniously tighten the face and neck.
• Mini facelift: A gentle method for minor corrections to the first wrinkles without severe sagging.
• SMAS facelift: This advanced technique tightens not only the skin but also deeper layers of tissue (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System, SMAS) to ensure long-lasting results.

In a personal consultation, we determine your wishes and choose the method that best suits your needs and your treatment goal.

How long do the results of the facelift last?

A facelift offers long-lasting improvements: The results are usually visible for between 8 and 12 years – depending on the individual’s skin condition and lifestyle. Although the ageing process continues, the procedure ensures that your overall appearance remains fresher and more vital.

With additional care and a healthy lifestyle, the result can often be maintained for even longer. We will also be happy to advise you personally on this.
