More and more people are looking for methods, treatments and procedures that can boost their confidence and give them a more youthful look. At Estetikcentrum , we help you regain your confidence with high-quality procedures performed by professional surgeons. However, there are major differences between the various procedures. Here we go through the differences between the different treatments, as well as the benefits. This will make it easier for you to make the right decision for your wishes and needs.

Facelift - what is it?

The first thing we will look at is the popular facelift. Also known by the medical term Rhytidectomy, a facelift refers to the tightening and lifting of the skin on the face. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia where excess fat and skin are removed and underlying muscles are tightened. This gives you a more youthful appearance and a smoother facial contour.

How does the neck lift work?

In addition to facelifts, our skilled surgeons can offer you neck lifts. Neck lifts are popular with people who have undergone significant weight loss or whose skin has sagged with age. Here, we focus on the area around both the neck and chin, removing fat deposits and tightening the skin. As with the facelift, the aim is to get a more defined contour and look younger.

Benefits of facelifts

There are many benefits to choosing a facelift. These include:

• You'll lift your entire face and get a more comprehensive refreshment.
• With proper aftercare, you get results that last for years. 
• Increased self-confidence and self-esteem.

Benefits of neck lift

Neck lifts also come with many benefits and are suitable for those who want to target a more specific area.

• Suitable for those with sagging skin or a double chin. 
• Shorter recovery time and less visible cuts.
• Can be combined with other procedures, such as facelifts.

What's right for you - facelift or neck lift?

Our goal is to help you find the best method and treatment to achieve your desired results. Some factors to consider include your age and skin elasticity. If your facial skin is noticeably sagging, a facelift may be the best option for you. However, if you want to address specific areas, such as the neck and throat, a neck lift is a better choice.
