Facelift in Dortmund: consultation, surgery and aftercare at Westfalenklinik

Your facelift takes place at Westfalenklinik in Dortmund, from the first consultation to the final check-up. The specialist clinic for plastic and aesthetic surgery has been working at the same location on Rosemeyerstraße for 25 years. It does not depend on external surgical centres, private bed clinics or hospital departments, neither for the operation nor for the care afterwards: you spend the nights after the procedure in the clinic, looked after by its own qualified staff trained in emergency medicine, and the anaesthesia is provided by anaesthetists specialising in plastic and aesthetic surgery.

Westfalenklinik is located directly on the B1/A40 in the immediate vicinity of the Signal Iduna Park. By car, leave the B1 at the Dortmund-Hombruch exit, turn right into Wittekindstraße and after 700 m right into Rosemeyerstraße; you park on the building’s parking deck directly in front of the entrance. By bus and train, take the U45 from the main station to Stadtgarten and then the U42 to Theodor-Fliedner-Heim.

When is a facelift an option?

Our face shows our age most clearly, as it is constantly exposed to outside influences. Normally, the first signs of ageing can be evened out with dermatological wrinkle treatments and dermal fillers. However, when wrinkles become more pronounced and individual areas of skin lose firmness and begin to sag, dermatological treatments eventually reach their limits. At this point, a facelift offers the possibility of tightening sagging skin and sagging tissue, with the aim of a fresher appearance.

Individual planning of your facelift at Westfalenklinik

With a facelift at Westfalenklinik Dortmund, too, we respond quite individually to each patient and their wishes, needs and expectations. From facial tightening to address smaller problem areas to a full facelift for more comprehensive revitalisation: in every case, together with you, we aim for a natural-looking new appearance that comes as close as possible to your personality.

Have the facelift methods explained to you in detail

Our doctors use modern methods of aesthetic surgery. Gentle treatment and being back out among people quickly are equally important to us. So that the scars are hidden as far as possible, in a somewhat larger procedure our doctors make the incision along the hairline at the temples, around the ear to the nape of the neck. In the process, the skin is not only smoothed: with the help of your own tissue, sunken contours are filled and at the end bothersome excess skin is removed. In this way, it is possible to treat several parts of the face in a single operation.

Aims of a facelift

  • Firmer skin and less visible wrinkles
  • Holistic concepts that include individual areas of the face or the whole face
  • Methods that fill sunken contours with your own tissue and give volume back to the face

How does facial tightening work at Westfalenklinik?

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 the use of skin tightening, connective tissue tightening, muscle tightening and/or wrinkle treatment, the individual parts of the face can be treated individually and as gently as possible. If desired and medically indicated, additional liposuction in the chin or neck area can also complement the procedure. Our doctors tailor the intensity and type of the treatments precisely to your wishes so that the result looks natural.

The respective facelift procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, under twilight sedation or under general anaesthesia. In order to conceal any resulting scars as well as possible, they are placed, for example, in your hairline or behind the earlobe. We present a concept that combines different techniques zone by zone on the page on Zone-Harmonic® Facelifting.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the effect of a facelift last?

How long the effect of a facelift lasts depends on the extent of the procedure, that is, whether it is a more extensive facelift or a smaller procedure, as well as on the condition of the skin and lifestyle. The natural ageing process continues after the procedure as well. We will discuss what you can expect in your case in the consultation.

How do the scars run with a facelift?

With endoscopic facelifts, there are several small scars in the hair. With an incision along the hairline, the scar runs along the frontal hairline and can be hidden by the hair. With a facelift of the lower face, the scar runs in front of the ear, directly behind it or, in the neck area, also behind the ear. We will explain the details to you precisely. What the scars look like after the procedure also depends on the course of healing.

How should I behave after a facelift?

Sleep on your back until the stitches are removed and wear an elastic head bandage. Do without make-up in the first two weeks, and without sport and heavy physical work in the first four weeks. In the first six weeks you should also definitely avoid sunbeds and sunbathing.

What side effects do I have to expect with a facelift?

Swelling, bruising, numbness and feelings of tightness are possible. They are usually temporary and mostly subside after a few days. We brief you on further risks of the procedure in the consultation.
