Frequently asked questions about aftercare and long-term results.
How often do I have to come for aftercare?
Weekly for the first 4 weeks, then at longer intervals. We see each other at least at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. All appointments are included in the treatment price.
How long does the result last?
A deep plane facelift lasts 8–10 years. You continue to age afterwards — but from a markedly younger starting point.
Can I have a second facelift after some years?
Yes, secondary facelifts are possible. They are usually less extensive than the first operation, because the tissue structure has already been corrected.
Do I receive an emergency number after healing?
For the first 7 days you have a 24/7 emergency number. Afterwards you can still reach us by phone during our opening hours — even years after surgery.
Am I “finished” after 6 months?
No. You remain our patient — we continue to care for you. If you have questions years later (about skin care, a second procedure, further ageing), we are here for you.
What can I do to make the result last?
Consistent sun protection, skin care, a healthy lifestyle, no smoking. We also recommend regular check-ups and advise on complementary measures such as botulinum toxin, fillers or skin care.
