Youthful appearance through facelift in Vienna

Facial tightening – Facelift at JUVENIS

Over the years the skin and the underlying tissue lose their natural elasticity. A facelift gives you a youthful, fresh and dynamic appearance to the face.

As the tissue in the face and/or neck relaxes and sags over time, the facial proportions change. Surgical facial tightening is intended to give the skin and tissue new tension and enable a long-lasting facial rejuvenation (face correction) for you.

Modern methods of plastic surgery now make it possible to achieve a new youthful, fresh and dynamic appearance to the face through an individualized facelift.
