The cervicofacial facelift is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to correct sagging skin and tissue in the face and neck. As we age, the skin loses elasticity, wrinkles deepen, and the cheeks begin to droop, giving the face a tired, aged appearance. A facelift helps restore a naturally rejuvenated look by lifting and tightening the skin. It can also address deep wrinkles and marionette lines. For enhanced results, the procedure is often combined with complementary techniques such as lipofilling or laser treatments.
At Brussels Surgical & Esthetic Center, we combine medical expertise with advanced technology to offer personalized facial rejuvenation solutions. The cervicofacial facelift corrects sagging in the face and neck, delivering long-lasting firmness and a harmonious appearance. Lipofilling, on the other hand, uses the patient’s own fat to restore lost volume, smooth deep wrinkles, and enhance the skin’s natural radiance. Whether performed alone or in combination, these techniques achieve subtle, natural-looking results that align with your aesthetic goals.

A cervicofacial facelift is a surgical procedure that corrects sagging skin and tissues in the face and neck. It targets the jowls, nasolabial folds, deep wrinkles, and the neck contour. The goal is to achieve a natural rejuvenation while preserving the patient’s facial expressions.
Facial lipofilling involves injecting purified fat harvested from another area of the body (typically the abdomen or thighs) to restore lost volume in the face. It is particularly effective for filling hollow areas and deep wrinkles, redefining the cheekbones, and enhancing the skin’s natural radiance.
Combining both procedures not only firms and lifts sagging tissues (facelift) but also replenishes facial volume (lipofilling), resulting in a more balanced and long-lasting rejuvenation.
The procedure is carried out under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The surgeon makes discreet incisions around the ears and along the hairline. The sagging tissues are repositioned, and excess skin is removed. The incisions are closed with sutures.
Fat is harvested using a fine cannula, purified, and then reinjected into targeted areas of the face. The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the treatment.
Discomfort is generally mild and well managed with pain medication. A feeling of tightness or pressure may be experienced in the first few days after the procedure.
Initial recovery after a cervicofacial facelift typically takes 10 to 14 days. Strenuous physical activity should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks. For lipofilling, swelling and bruising subside within 7 to 10 days, while the grafted fat integrates fully within 2 to 3 months.
Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling. Sleep with your head elevated. Avoid sun exposure and heat sources. Follow your surgeon’s instructions regarding healing creams and skincare.
It is generally recommended to wait about 2 weeks before applying makeup to allow optimal healing of the skin.
Facelift results start becoming visible after around two weeks and continue to improve over several months. Lipofilling results are visible immediately but become fully established between 2 and 3 months.
Yes, the results are long-lasting, although the natural aging process continues. A healthy lifestyle and appropriate skincare can help extend the benefits.

Considering a facelift? The first step is to schedule an initial consultation at the Brussels Surgical & Esthetic Center with one of our maxillofacial surgeons, plastic surgeons, or our aesthetic physician and medical director, Dr. El Hor. This appointment is essential for discussing the procedure, potential risks, and postoperative recovery. It helps you prepare thoroughly for the surgery and gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

The procedure involves removing excess skin or fat, or tightening loose skin around the eyelids, to restore a youthful and refreshed look to the eyes and upper face. In some cases, when excess skin impairs vision, blepharoplasty may be classified as functional rather than purely aesthetic. If so, INAMI reimbursement may apply following an ophthalmologic evaluation.

Small irregularities in the nose, located at the center of the face, can affect both quality of life and self-confidence.
