Our clinic in Lucerne specialises in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. At corrigé, we focus on your individual needs, your quality of life and your natural charisma. Facelifts are the most proven methods of facial rejuvenation. They are targeted, effective and focus on achieving your goal that looks natural.
As we age, the skin on our face loses elasticity and tone. This often manifests itself in wrinkles, sagging cheeks, a less defined sagging jawline or a double chin. The neck, forehead and area around the eyes also begin to sag making you look older than you are.
A facelift (also known as a face lifting) can help to harmonise your facial contours and tighten the deeper tissue and muscles. The aim is to make you look younger, whilst preserving the way you know and like to see yourself in a natural way.
At corrigé in Lucerne, we offer various facelift techniques, mastered over years and tailored to your individual needs:
This modern method repositions not only the skin but also the underlying muscles and tissues that support the skin. The neck is tightened and the procedure produces natural and long-lasting results.
For particularly intensive tightening of the middle neck area, a targeted neck lift may additionally be performed. Access is gained through a fine scar under the chin to redesign the neck and get rid of excess sagging.
Depending on the individual situation and wishes, additional procedures such as a temporal lift (via a hidden scar in the hairline), an eyelid lift, an upper lip lift or lipofilling (injection of the patient's own fat, also known as fat grafting) may also be advisable to look younger.
Thanks to modern and gentle surgical techniques, only fine scars remain, which run discreetly along the natural skin folds in front of and behind the ear, above the ear, at the hairline or under the chin. The goal is to make it so it doesn't look like you have had a proceedure.
A classic facelift takes around 4–5 hours and is usually performed under general anaesthesia. Not only the skin, but also the deeper layers of tissue and the muscles (SMAS) are precisely tightened and repositioned. After the procedure you'll spend a night in the clinic with expert care and attention.
After the procedure, slight swelling and bruising may occur, but these will quickly subside. After two to four weeks, you will usually be able to resume your normal social activities.

A facelift is worth thinking about if your skin has lost a lot of its elasticity, you feel older than you look, or your facial features like your cheeks and chin are sagging and losing their definition. It can also be a good idea after major weight loss, if you have a genetic predisposition, or if your skin is losing its elasticity and is sagging on your face or neck.
A classic facelift always tightens the deeper layers of tissue under the skin (SMAS) and removes excess skin. Depending on the severity, the neck and temple area are also be treated.
A mini-lift is a less extensive version of a facelift. Only the cheek area is tightened. It is often ideal for younger patients or those showing the first signs of sagging skin. Here too, we treat the SMAS, but to a lesser extent.
Both procedures have the same goal: a rejuvenated, fresh and natural-looking appearance.
A healthy lifestyle, avoiding nicotine, adequate sun protection and stable, normal weight values support the success of the treatment. We will be happy to advise you in detail on site so that you are optimally prepared for your procedure.
A facelift typically lasts 7–15 years, depending on genetics, skin structure and lifestyle. The natural rejuvenation of the face can be maintained for longer with complementary treatments such as fillers (hyaluronic acid), chemical peels or lipofilling.
The cost of a facelift varies depending on the method, extent of the procedure and combination treatments. During a personal consultation, we will draw up an individual treatment plan and a cost estimate for you.
