Facelift

As we age, the tissues and fat of the face and neck gradually slip downward. A facelift lifts them back into place from the deeper layers, without stretching the skin, for a younger face that still looks natural. Dr. Jesús Lago operates at Clínica 3 de Mayo in Madrid, for patients from the UK, Ireland and beyond. The procedure costs €3,450 to €6,950, all-inclusive, depending on the extent of the lift.

The Facelift in Practice

A full facelift treats all four levels of the face, from the neck up to the forehead. A brow lift treats only the upper face: the forehead and the eyebrows.

We lift the tissues level by level, from the neck to the forehead, then remove the excess skin without pulling it tight. Because the repositioning is done in the deeper layers, the result lasts. The operation is under general anesthesia, with one night in the hospital.
