Facelift — Restoring Firmness, Contour and Youthful Expression

Facelift is the gold standard in surgical facial rejuvenation — a procedure that restores natural proportions, clear contours and a refreshed expression without loss of authenticity.
The modern facelift, as performed by Dr Maja Simić, does not mean a "tight face", but rather adequate lifting of deeper tissue layers (SMAS) while preserving natural mobility, facial expression and individual character.


What is a facelift?

Facelift (rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that tightens and reshapes the deeper layers of the face, not just the skin surface.
This achieves a natural, three-dimensional rejuvenation effect — without artificiality and without changing facial recognisability.

The procedure is often combined with:

  • lipofilling
  • blepharoplasty
  • neck lift

...achieving complete harmony of the upper and lower third of the face.


When is it the right choice?

Facelift is suitable for individuals who notice:

  • sagging of the mid and lower third of the face
  • pronounced nasolabial and marionette lines
  • drooping cheeks and jawline
  • excess skin or fatty tissue in the neck area

This is the ideal procedure for those who want long-term rejuvenation, without changing their character and facial expression.


The procedure

  • Performed under general or local anaesthesia with sedation
  • Lasts 3–4 hours, depending on the extent of the procedure
  • Incisions are placed discreetly along the hairline and around the ear, making scars virtually unnoticeable

Tissue is carefully lifted, excess skin removed, and facial contours redefined.
Upon completion, the face appears lifted, yet natural.


Recovery and results

  • Swelling and mild tightness are present during the first two weeks
  • Return to daily activities: after 10–14 days
  • Final, stable appearance: after 4–6 weeks

The effect lasts for years, while the ageing process continues gradually and harmoniously.


💬 Philosophy of treatment

"Facelift is not changing the face, but returning it to its natural structure.
When proportions return to their place, the face does not look different —
just rested, harmonious and truly youthful."
