Face lifting correction minor procedure with major effect
As the saying goes, a glance speaks louder than a thousand words. Our eyes have the power to communicate without a single word. But what do they really reveal about us?
Eyes are often called the mirror of the soul, showing whether we’re tired or joyful, content or sorrowful. They are key features of our faces, offering a glimpse into our emotions. However, as we age, droopy eyelids and sagging skin can make our eyes appear tired and less vibrant. Face lifting can help restore that youthful, refreshed look, allowing the eyes to once again tell a brighter story.
A facelift is a rejuvenating procedure that can combat signs of aging on the face and neck
Facelifts can significantly improve the appearance of deep wrinkles, droopy brows, loose skin, jowls, and other signs of aging.
Facelifting procedures also allow older patients to turn back the hands of time to better reflect a youthful spirit.
Get a youthful look with a facelift.
A facelift offers you the most rejuvenated and younger appearance by tackling skin drooping, creasing, and lack of facial volume. Smoothing down deep lines, tightening loose skin, and improving your jawline can result in a drastic and natural look. It also helps with a turkey neck.

Face lifting correction
big impact, small procedure
A youthful and refreshed appearance is often just a small procedure away. Face lifting correction can have a dramatic effect on your look by lifting and tightening the skin, resulting in a more youthful contour. With minimal downtime and lasting results, this procedure delivers significant improvements to facial features, particularly around the eyes, cheeks, and jawline. It is a simple, effective solution to regain confidence and enhance your natural beauty, making a big impact with a small effort.
And do not write face lifting correction can have a dramatic effect, but write effect and write. Please in your last sentence and make a dot after making a big impact.
Face Lift: Customized individual procedures
Facelifts are customizable procedures that can be tailored to address each individual’s extent of aging and specific areas of concern. There are many different types of “facelift procedures” such as for instance the mini facelift, lower facelift, and mid-facelift, or the full SMAS Facelift. The technique for long-lasting and natural success, which promises a natural-looking face lift/neck lift, is the “vertical SMAS face-neck lift”.
The right method for face and neck lift. The vertical SMAS face-neck lift is a very successful method to avoid a mask-like appearance and to achieve long-lasting natural results and to look fresher, younger, more rested and more attractive. During the vertical SMAS face-neck lift, in addition to the skin being detached, the underlying muscle-connective tissue layer, the so-called SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System), is tightened. This layer is also responsible for the typical signs of aging, such as deep nasolabial folds, a blurred chin contour and a sagging neck. By tightening this layer internally, these contours are smoothed out naturally. The natural facial expressions are retained. The “scar” that forms between the skin and the SMAS slows down further aging. A facelift therefore also slows down the sagging skin that occurs with age. The same applies to a neck lift.
Soft lifting versus a SMAS face and neck lift So-called ‘soft’, ‘bio’, ‘S’ and similar lifts, which are based on an outdated technique and can also be carried out by less experienced surgeons, only achieve a very temporary effect, as they are based exclusively or largely on tensioning the skin. As the skin is very elastic, it will give in to this increased tension after a short time and the effect will quickly fade. The face often looks rather unnatural after such an operation, sometimes even like a mask.
You also often come across so-called liquid facelifts in the media and the press. This treatment method is not a conventional facelift, but merely an injection. The effect is also not long-lasting. Anesthesia Facelifts and neck lifts are usually performed on an outpatient basis under partial or general anesthesia in the day clinic in Zurich (Zollikon), but can also be performed in the clinic upon request.
Procedure for a facelift
First, the face is injected with the tumescence solution. This is followed by targeted suction of fat deposits using the finest cannulas (if necessary). This simultaneously separates the skin from the muscle layer in the face in a bloodless manner. The tumescence technique not only significantly speeds up the subsequent separation of the facial and neck skin, but also involves less risk. The long-term effect is a better neck tightening, particularly in the neck area. The facial and neck skin is then separated from the muscles using fine incisions, hidden in the ear area and partly in the hair and behind the ear. The SMAS is now tightened, which is the crucial part of the operation. Finally, the excess skin is removed and closed layer by layer with fine stitches. A bandage padded with cotton wool completes the operation. Afterwards, the patients stay with us for a few hours. The next day, the dressing is changed and the wound drainage behind the ear is removed. The dressing is removed just 2 days after the operation and the hair can be washed and blow-dried. After 1 week, the fine threads around the ear are removed and after 2 weeks those in the hair area. No unsightly scars due to the innovative incision of the FIT Many patients worry that the facelift could result in unsightly scars that are visible to everyone.
But this worry is unfounded. A new cutting technique can prevent unsightly scars. The scars after a facelift are barely visible to the naked eye. This is achieved by the so-called “flat incision technique”.
What does FIT mean?
The abbreviation FIT stands for Flat Incision Technique, which could be translated into German as “flat cutting technique”. With the FIT technique, the skin incision is made with the scalpel at about 20° rather than at 90° to the skin surface as is traditional . This doubles the proportion of dermis in the wound.

With the FIT, very good quality scars are achieved in operations on the face, both in reconstructive and aesthetic procedures such as face and neck lifts, forehead lifts and eyebrow corrections, but also drooping eyelid corrections, which are significantly better and hardly visible than with the conventional cutting technique.

Face Lifting Benefits
A facelift gives you results that go beyond just looks. Benefits include:
● Youthful Contours: Firmness and lifts sagging skin for a fresh look.
● Smooth Skin: Reduces deep wrinkles and creases.
● Long Lasting: Natural and permanent results.
● Self-Confidence: Feel good in your skin.
● There is no other procedure which offers you the same results.
● The procedure is manageable and the results are immediately visible!
● Thanks to my Flat Incision Technique, there are no visible scars and the result is and
remains natural.
● Thanks to my facelift technique, you won’t look like you’ve had surgery or are wearing a
mask.
● Sunken faces regain volume through the repositioning of the SMAS.
● Durability – conservative treatment methods such as injections with hyaluronic acid or
your own blood are not a facelift. Gravity, which is also responsible for the sagging of the
SMAS, which is responsible for deep nasolabial folds, sagging cheeks and sagging necks,
cannot be corrected by an injection. A facelift cannot be replaced by an injection. With a
facelift, the sunken layer is tightened and tissue is removed. And anchored with stitches.
A facelift lasts for many years, but injections do not!
● The result is permanent. If you do not gain or lose weight, you will enjoy the results for
many years.
● You remain yourself and still look years younger and fresher.
● It is the only method to reverse the signs of aging and to look fresh again. No cream in
the world, no diet, no beauty drink, no sun protection or cold therapy, etc., nothing can
replace a facelift!

Face Lifting surgery
The correction of sagging skin and loss of firmness in the face, commonly known as a face lift, is one of the most rewarding procedures in aesthetic surgery.

The Facelift Procedure
A facelift is performed using simple incisions made around the hairline, close next to the ears, underneath the chin at times. That exposes Dr. Feinendegen to deeper levels of skin, muscles, and tissue. Following that, the muscles and tissues deeper in the head are lifted and then
repositioned. Excess skin is trimmed to put the skin in a well-arranged smooth and tight zone or
soften the appearance of the subject area.
Dr. Feinendegen also employs modern techniques for volume and contour reconstitution without tautening the skin. This method reduces the impact of scarring on the face and imparts a natural look and feel to it. If the concern is sagging skin in the area of the jawline or the increasing
deepness of folds surrounding the mouth, he will make the facelift procedure suit your natural features. The cosmetic change will leave you looking younger rather than just being a mere analogous cosmetic change
Recovery Period
Prof. Feinendegen is well known for the fact that recovery times are shortened with facelift surgery performed by him. Every person goes through a different recovery process, but patients usually can engage in some kind of activity, even light ones, after about a week before they return to normal in just three week. Swelling and bruising are typical in the immediate period after treatment, though they usually fade away after only a few weeks. He will write instructions regarding your postoperative care, making sure it’s swift recovery and healing to get the best result. The results would be noticeable and appreciable within a short period, but will only become final after several months have lapsed. It will require several months before the skin adjusts to its new position and any residual edema can subdue to make your skin appear more vibrant, youthful, and smoother, with a well-defined jawline, and an overall refreshed appearance. Dr. Feinendegen aspires to achieve a delicate and distinctly natural result that will enhance your facial features and also boost your confidence without a standard look.

What are the benefits of face lifting for finely contoured eyes?
1. Restores Youthful Definition
Face lifting enhances the contours of the eye area by lifting sagging skin and tightening underlying muscles. This rejuvenates the appearance around the eyes, restoring a more youthful, vibrant look. The procedure helps redefine the eyes’ natural shape, offering a refreshed and youthful contour.
2. Improves Eye Shape
A face lift can help enhance the natural shape of the eyes by addressing drooping or sagging skin around the eyelids. By lifting the surrounding tissues, the procedure creates a more open, lifted look, making the eyes appear brighter and more alert. It rejuvenates the overall eye contour.
3. Reduces Visible Signs of Aging
As we age, the skin around the eyes often becomes loose and wrinkled. Face lifting addresses these issues by removing excess skin and tightening the tissues. This smoothens fine lines, reduces puffiness, and combats the tired look, providing a more youthful, refreshed appearance around the eyes.
4. Long-Lasting Results
One of the major advantages of face lifting for the eye area is the lasting effect it provides. By tightening and lifting skin, the results remain visible for years, offering long-term rejuvenation. The minimal downtime and lasting improvement make it a highly effective solution for maintaining youthful, contoured eyes.

Lower face lift correction of sagging skin and loss of firmness
The aesthetic appearance of every person’s face is greatly influenced by the condition of their skin and muscles. As we age, the skin can sag and lose its firmness, especially along the lower face. The excess tissue leads to a tired or worn-out look and can even affect one’s field of vision. A loss of definition in the lower face is a common concern, often caused by the weakening of underlying facial muscles. This process can develop over time and is typically gravity-driven. In addition to the visual impact, the sagging can cause discomfort, including quicker fatigue when engaging in close-up tasks like reading or using a computer.
Between the lower eyelid skin and the underlying muscle, muscle bundles are often clearly visible, especially in older individuals. These muscle bundles are more prominent in aging skin, contributing to the tired appearance of the lower face. Asymmetry between the two lower eyelids is common and must be carefully considered when planning corrective procedures. This imbalance can affect the overall symmetry of the face and needs to be addressed for a natural and harmonious result.
Facelift surgery (facelift, rhytidectomy) is typically performed on an outpatient basis at our day clinic in Zurich (Zollikon) and Schaffhausen at the cantonal hospital under local anesthesia (LA), or at the Gut Clinic in St. Moritz. Sedative medication is provided via infusion to ensure comfort. A comprehensive facial analysis is done beforehand, and incision lines and specific areas for lifting are meticulously marked. This careful preparation ensures optimal results and a natural rejuvenation of the facial contours.
To achieve a long-lasting and natural-looking result with a facelift, in addition to removing excess skin, underlying muscles and tissues often need to be repositioned and tightened. Tightening these deeper layers is a delicate procedure and should be performed by a skilled and experienced surgeon. This ensures that the facial contours remain firm and youthful for years. Facelifts that only involve skin removal without addressing the deeper layers often lose their effectiveness over time, leaving patients with unsatisfactory results.
The facelift procedure is performed using precise tools, often with magnification to ensure accuracy in the lifting and tightening process. The incision lines are closed with fine sutures that are typically removed after 5-7 days. After the procedure, patients rest in the recovery room for about an hour, with cooling and bandaging applied to reduce swelling and promote healing.
It’s important to recognize that sometimes the underlying cause of a sagging appearance is a drooping face, often due to a loss of skin elasticity. In these cases, a subtle lift of the outer face or jawline may be required. This is done through small, discreet incisions hidden within the natural folds of the skin, carefully tightening the muscles and lifting the skin for a more youthful look. This refined technique results in minimal scarring, allowing for a smoother, rejuvenated appearance without noticeable marks.
