Medical tourists choose Switzerland for plastic surgery. The most popular aesthetic procedures are rejuvenation and reconstruction after accidents.
CorSwiss arranges treatment and diagnostics at Swiss clinics for international patients and notes that more and more patients are interested in aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery in Switzerland.
The main reason is the impeccable worldwide reputation of Swiss medicine. Switzerland is a small country, which makes it easier to monitor the quality of medical care than in larger countries.
“We have seen growing demand for anti-ageing surgery. Face and body lifts are especially popular,” say representatives of CorSwiss.
Facelifts in Switzerland: the method and its features
A surgical facelift is a procedure that removes the visible signs of ageing in the skin and facial contour. Plastic surgery can smooth away even deep traces of time on the face. When aesthetic medicine – rejuvenating injections, fillers, cosmetic massage and skincare treatments – reaches its limits, a facelift is the answer.
How a facelift is performed in Switzerland
During a surgical facelift, the plastic surgeon lifts and secures the main facial muscles. The surgeon then removes excess fat and skin, which give the face a tired, drawn look and make the patient appear older.
In Switzerland, facelifts are performed by plastic surgeons with many years of experience and constant access to up-to-date knowledge and technology. This allows procedures to be carried out with minimal, inconspicuous scarring and natural results. In addition to the traditional full facelift, there are several other variants of the procedure that address specific areas of the face.
Swiss surgeons use advanced, minimally invasive techniques to minimise discomfort and shorten recovery.
Features of the facelift
A facelift and more. Facial surgery can be an effective way to improve appearance and boost self-confidence. Sometimes, however, patient and surgeon are happiest with the result when the facelift is combined with other procedures, such as a neck lift or a forehead lift, also known as a brow lift. Patients who understand both the possibilities and the limitations of facelift surgery are generally fully satisfied with the outcome.
A unisex procedure. Facelifts are for men as well as women. Men also turn to facial plastic surgery to erase the signs of ageing and achieve a youthful appearance. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) has published data showing that between 2010 and 2015 the number of facelifts among men in the USA rose by 44%. The steps of the procedure are generally the same for both sexes, and both men and women are ultimately pleased with the results.
