Face Lift in Madrid
Face lift in Madrid: facial surgery to reposition the descended tissues of the face and neck with natural, long-lasting results.
Face lift surgery corrects the signs of advanced facial ageing — sagging of the mid and lower thirds, double chin, deep nasolabial folds, jowls and neck laxity — restoring a firmer, more rested appearance. The deep plane technique repositions the deep facial planes, not just the skin, for results more natural and long-lasting than a traditional SMAS lift.
The price of a face lift in Madrid depends on the areas to be treated (full face lift, cervicofacial or mini-lift), the technique used (deep plane, SMAS, endoscopic) and the complexity of the case. In the first consultation with Dr Barreno de Castro, the facial anatomy is assessed, the most appropriate options are proposed and a detailed written quote is provided.
How face lift works
The face lift is performed in the operating theatre under general anaesthesia. It lasts approximately three to five hours depending on the technique and the extent of the surgery. The patient usually stays one night in hospital for post-operative monitoring.
During the first ten to fourteen days the area shows swelling and bruising that improve progressively. Facial bandages are worn during the first days and follow-up checks are carried out in the clinic. Returning to social activities is usually around two to three weeks, when visible swelling has subsided.
The final result of the face lift appears from three months, when the tissues settle in their new position and the scars finish maturing. The scars, located along the hairline and behind the ear, become virtually imperceptible over time.
FAQ about face lift
How much does a face lift cost in Madrid?
The price of a face lift varies according to the technique chosen (deep plane, SMAS, mini-lift) and the areas treated. In the first consultation each case is assessed and a personalised written quote is provided.
How long is the recovery from a face lift?
Bandages are removed after a few days and returning to social activities happens around two to three weeks, when visible swelling has subsided. The final result appears from three months.
Is a face lift painful?
A face lift is performed under general anaesthesia, so nothing is felt during. The post-operative period is managed with oral analgesia; the predominant sensation is usually tightness and numbness, not pain.
Does a face lift leave visible scars?
Face lift scars are located along the hairline (temples, sideburns) and behind the ear, hidden by the hair or by the anatomy itself. Over time they become virtually imperceptible.
How many years does a face lift turn back?
A face lift does not stop ageing, but it visually turns back the appearance of the face by 7 to 10 years. The results last for years, although the natural ageing process continues from the new starting point.
