Stretch Lift and Mini Lift with Local Anesthesia
It is a minimally invasive technique that utilizes our experience in facial lifting, adapting it to the needs of each individual with the shortest possible recovery time.
The main advantage of this method is that the results last 6–8 years or even longer, depending on the patient and the quality of their skin.
It is applied in cases of:
- Neck laxity
- Loss of definition along the jawline
- Sagging of the cheeks
The Procedure of the Operation
The procedure for both the Stretch Lift and the Mini Lift is essentially the same, differing only in the extent of the operation. The Stretch Lift focuses on the jawline area, where the first signs of aging typically appear, while the Mini Lift is more extensive, including the cheek area and a larger portion of the neck compared to the Stretch Lift.
Preoperative planning is carried out, followed by infiltration of the treatment area with a local anesthetic solution. The skin is then carefully separated, and sutures are placed in the SMAS (a membrane located beneath the skin and above the muscles). These sutures determine the direction of lifting for the face and neck. If necessary, excess skin can be removed at the end of the procedure, achieving a result comparable to a facelift, but with significantly shorter recovery time and fewer complications. At the incision site, only antibiotic cream is applied, and no drains or bandages are required.
The procedure lasts approximately two hours and is performed under local anesthesia in the fully equipped facilities of our clinic.
Combination Procedures
Stretch Lift is often combined with other non-invasive techniques such as Botox, Hyaluronic Acid, the use of Stem Cells, or Autologous Fat, in order to achieve the optimal aesthetic result.
