Microlift and Swisslift°

Micro lifting was the first lifting technique used at the very beginning of the twentieth century by pioneers such as Eugène Höllander in 1902 C. Conrad Miller in 1907 and Suzanne Noël in 1912. With numerous improvements it remains highly relevant today and I frequently perform it in combination with upper eyelid surgery.

Combined with Swiss hyaluronic acid injections°, it is the Swisslift°: an exclusively Swiss technique (Swiss products and materials) that restores youth to your face for a few years (approximately 3 years).

Micro lift is even lighter than mini lift. It is intended for patients around the age of 40 who require a subtle rejuvenation of the cheeks and jawline. This is a minor procedure performed under local anesthesia in a medical office equipped with an operating room allowing patients to look presentable again within two days.

The choice between a deep lift a mini lift or a micro lift depends on the degree of skin laxity and patient expectations. The deep or traditional lift (deep plane) is the most comprehensive solution ideal for global rejuvenation of the face and neck with long lasting results. The mini lift treats moderate laxity with quicker recovery. The micro lift is perfect for light discreet rejuvenation with minimal postoperative effects and a rapid return to daily life.

Micro lift is an ideal solution for patients seeking visible improvement without the constraints of heavier surgery. Often called the weekend lift it gently tightens the skin and reshapes the jawline in just a few hours. It is particularly suited to early skin laxity that does not yet require a traditional facelift.

As a guide, a micro facelift costs around 5,000 CHF, while a mini facelift can cost around 15,000 CHF and a more complete or deep facelift starts from 18,000 CHF, depending on the indications and overall care.

Without detaching the skin I retension the lower face using templates that define the amount of excess skin. After symmetrically removing this skin surface I secure the tissues with a few deep sutures and carefully adjust the surface so that the scar remains virtually invisible.

This minimally invasive technique delivers a natural harmonious result. Incisions are meticulously hidden within natural facial contours. Unlike injections which require regular sessions and do not correct skin laxity micro lift provides a structural and lasting correction. It can also be combined with other techniques such as lipofilling and blepharoplasty for a personalized global rejuvenation.

Every gesture is performed with great precision reflecting a constant pursuit of excellence and safety.

Micro lift is a quick and comfortable outpatient procedure. You arrive at the office after standard preparation and a light meal. I perform local anesthesia using a few minimally painful injections. Local anesthesia makes the procedure painless. The intervention lasts around 1 hour and 30 minutes. You return home the same day without driving using public transport or a taxi and can quickly resume daily activities.

Postoperative recovery after a micro lift is very simple and generally easy to manage. Mild discomfort may be felt during the first 48 hours but resolves quickly. There is no swelling and very little bruising. Rest is recommended for 2 to 4 days before resuming social and professional activities. Regular follow up is organized to ensure proper healing and optimal aesthetic results.

Results of micro lift are visible immediately with a more toned face and a redefined jawline. This quick rejuvenating effect lasts between one and two years. The aesthetic outcome is discreet and natural. Unlike injections which require frequent maintenance micro lift offers a more durable structural solution. It is ideal for patients who want visible improvement without the burden of major surgery.

Swisslift is a micro lift technique developed by Dr Prevot. Swisslift uses exclusively Swiss products. This registered technique offers a discreet and global facial rejuvenation. More comprehensive than micro lift it acts on all facial levels including the forehead eyes midface jawline and neck. It is fully personalized to suit each individual’s anatomy and expectations.
