In a facelift, sagging areas of skin and tissue in the face are tightened. Depending on the starting situation, the procedure ranges from tightening individual areas of the face to a comprehensive facelift. Which method comes into question for you is something you discuss in the consultation with our doctors in Düsseldorf.
Facelift in Düsseldorf: consultation, surgery and aftercare in one place
Consultation room
Your facelift takes place at Klinik am Seestern in Düsseldorf, from the first consultation to the check-up appointments afterwards. The specialist clinic for plastic and aesthetic surgery has its own operating theatres and patient rooms: you are advised and operated on in the same place where you spend the nights after the procedure and to which you return for aftercare.
The clinic is on the left bank of the Rhine in Lörick, in the Am Seestern business district near the B7. The U77 runs directly from the main station to the Am Seestern stop, and there is free parking on the grounds. This also makes appointments after the operation easy to reach from all over Düsseldorf, from Meerbusch, Neuss and the surrounding area.
02
When is a facelift an option?
The face is constantly exposed to outside influences and often shows signs of ageing first. At the beginning, wrinkles can often be treated with non-surgical wrinkle treatments and dermal fillers. When wrinkles become more pronounced and individual areas of skin lose firmness, these treatments reach their limits. A facelift can then be an option for tightening sagging skin and sagging tissue.
Aims of a facelift
Tightening sagging skin and softening wrinkles
Treatment of individual areas of the face or of the whole face, depending on the starting situation
Filling sunken contours with your own tissue
03
Individual planning at Klinik am Seestern
For a facelift at Klinik am Seestern Düsseldorf we take your wishes, needs and expectations into account. The range extends from tightening individual parts of the face to a comprehensive facelift. The aim is a natural-looking result that suits your face.
04
How does facial tightening work?
Depending on individual goals and starting situation, individual areas of the face up to the complete face can be treated. This is done through a combination of neck lift, forehead lift, cheek lift and midface lift, up to a complete facelift. Through skin, connective tissue and muscle tightening and/or wrinkle treatment, the individual parts of the face are treated individually. If desired and medically sensible, additional liposuction in the chin or neck area can complement the procedure. The type and extent of the treatment are tailored to your wishes and your starting situation.
The respective procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, under twilight sedation or under general anaesthesia. The incisions are placed, for example, in the hairline or behind the earlobe so that the scars are hidden as far as possible.
05
Have the facelift methods explained to you in detail
Our doctors explain to you the methods that come into question for you and discuss the healing phase with you. In a larger procedure, the incision runs along the hairline at the temples, around the ear to the nape of the neck so that the scars are hidden as far as possible. In the process, the skin is tightened, sunken contours can be filled with your own tissue, and at the end excess skin is removed.

I am a lipoedema and lymphoedema patient and have been trying to find help for about 10 years. Here it was no problem at all! I was called in quickly, was well looked after, my questions were answered very professionally, and I was able to leave the practice in tears of joy! Many thanks for the support so far.

I had my appointment at the practice for a consultation about my lipoedema, and I really want to leave a review even though I haven't had any surgery there yet. The reason is that this was the first time I felt truly taken seriously during an examination of my lipoedema. Dr. Witt was very friendly and professional from the start, and at the same time incredibly pleasant and humane. He took an exceptional amount of time, examined me very thoroughly and answered all my questions in detail. He is incredibly respectful and explains realistically what could be done and how the whole process would work. I found it particularly positive that at no point did a hectic or unpleasant mood arise. You never had the feeling of being “brushed off” or being under time pressure. Instead, the whole atmosphere was calm, relaxed and trusting. Dr. Witt was very committed, photos were taken of the affected areas and every possible treatment was explained in an understandable way. Dr. Witt explained everything in detail, yet never came across as complicated or distant. Although he is an absolute specialist in his field, I felt at all times that I could speak openly and ask any question. It felt more as if I had been a patient there for a long time. It was also particularly important to me that I never felt pushed towards an operation. It is still not at all clear whether I will have my operation at all, and yet I was taken incredibly seriously and treated with respect. That is exactly what built so much trust in me. I would also very much like to mention the lady at reception, Marris, in a positive way. She was super polite, had a very pleasant and calm manner and immediately gave me a good feeling. Although it was almost 5 p.m. and the end of the working day was approaching, she was incredibly friendly to me and did not seem at all annoyed or stressed. It is precisely such little things that make a huge difference to me personally and reinforced my positive overall impression of the practice. The practice itself is also absolutely impressive. It is extremely modern, high-quality and stylishly furnished. You feel more as if you are entering a luxury hotel than a traditional doctor's practice. Everything seems very well thought out, calm and professional. The organisation around the appointment was also excellent. Even before the appointment, communication was always very friendly, quick and professional. Questions were answered immediately and the whole process seemed perfectly organised. I was also allowed to park in the clinic's car park, which was an enormous relief since everything in the area was completely full. Although it was already later in the afternoon, Dr. Witt even personally saw to it that enquiries were made internally about my question regarding costs. Shortly after I had left the practice, I already received all the information by email. That too simply shows how professionally and attentively they work there. Overall, an exceptionally positive experience, of a kind you unfortunately only rarely have in the medical field. Absolutely fabulous.

Everything was great, just one small remark..... I didn't get any dinner/bread in the evening. The most important thing for me was the operation, or rather everything around it.

I was welcomed and advised incredibly kindly. The consultation takes place on an equal footing and without medical jargon, and what I like best is that they paid attention to what the best treatment is for my concern, and not to what would earn the practice the most money. I took a week to think it over, but actually the decision to choose the clinic was made much sooner.

I had a consultation and felt taken seriously and understood. They took a lot of time for me, and the examination and the conversation were very thorough. In the end, the treatment is too expensive for me, so I won't be able to have it done.
