Facial Surgery

Facial plastic surgery becomes an option when skincare and aesthetic injection treatments no longer provide the desired effect. In other cases, surgery may be used to enhance or reshape the contours of the face.

Our facial features change over time. As we age, skin loses elasticity, facial muscles weaken, and fat deposits diminish in volume — leading to lines, wrinkles, and a loss of definition. When non-surgical methods no longer offer sufficient improvement, facial surgery may be the next step. It can also be used to accentuate or balance facial contours.

Facial Procedures We Offer

Facelift

Lines and wrinkles are a natural part of aging, caused by a loss of skin elasticity. Genetics and gravity play a role, as do factors such as significant weight loss, smoking, sun exposure, alcohol use, and illness. A facelift is a surgical procedure that smooths the skin of the face and neck while tightening underlying tissue to restore a more youthful appearance.

Unlike laser or injectable treatments, a facelift using the advanced High-SMAS technique lifts the deeper facial structures and removes excess skin. This results in a more defined jawline, fewer wrinkles, and enhanced cheek contours. The procedure can be combined with other treatments such as fat grafting, eyelid surgery, or non-surgical methods. Our goal is always a natural-looking result, and the technique is tailored to each patient’s unique features.

Neck Lift

Wrinkles and loose skin on the neck are a natural part of aging, caused by a decrease in skin elasticity. A neck lift smooths the skin and enhances the contour of the neck, offering a more youthful profile and better facial framing. It can be performed on its own or combined with a facelift and/or liposuction. The approach varies: sometimes incisions are made behind the ears, other times a small incision is placed under the chin.

Midface Lift

A midface lift, also known as a cheek lift, is a surgical procedure that restores volume and lifts the upper portion of the face — particularly the cheeks and cheekbones. This results in a fresh, rejuvenated appearance. It can also create better facial harmony. Suitable for both middle-aged and older patients, this procedure leaves no visible scars and is often combined with other facial surgeries.

Mini Facelift

A mini facelift is a less invasive version of a traditional facelift, focusing on the lower face — especially the jawline and cheeks. With smaller incisions, it offers a quicker recovery and minimal scarring.Mini vs. Traditional Facelift:

  • Invasiveness: A mini facelift involves smaller incisions and a quicker recovery.
  • Target Areas: Focuses on the lower face, while a traditional facelift addresses the full face and often the neck.
  • Recovery Time: Shorter recovery compared to a full facelift.

Mini facelifts are ideal for younger patients or those with mild to moderate skin laxity. It’s also a good option for patients seeking a “refresher” after a previous facelift.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

As we age, excess skin and fat loss around the eyes can make us look tired. Eyelid surgery is one of the most common facial procedures and leaves minimal, barely noticeable scarring. Techniques vary depending on your anatomy and goals, but the aim is always to remove excess skin and redistribute tissue to restore a more refreshed and youthful appearance.

Brow Lift & Forehead Lift

With age, the forehead may develop excess skin, and the brows can begin to droop. A brow lift repositions tissue rather than removing it, resulting in a softer, more youthful look. The procedure is typically performed endoscopically — using keyhole techniques through small incisions in the scalp — leaving no visible scars on the forehead or face. Brow lifts can be combined with upper eyelid surgery when needed.

Chin Augmentation

A small or recessed chin can affect overall facial harmony and also impact the appearance of the neck. Chin augmentation involves placing an implant through a small incision beneath the chin to create lasting, balanced contour. Sometimes fillers are used to simulate the effect of surgery, but these are temporary and less voluminous. At Estetiska Institutet, we offer 3D simulations to help you visualize the potential results of a chin implant.

Lip Lift

For patients concerned about a long upper lip — often paired with a thin lip — a lip lift can create better facial balance. This involves removing a small strip of skin beneath the nose (called a bullhorn lip lift), shortening the upper lip, tightening underlying tissue, and enhancing the appearance of the upper lip. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia.

Buccal Fat Removal

Buccal fat removal (also known as bichectomy) has become increasingly popular in recent years. Performed under local anesthesia, this procedure removes the buccal fat pad through a small incision inside the mouth. The result is a more sculpted, contoured face with enhanced cheekbone and jawline definition. It can also be combined with other procedures like double chin liposuction.

Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

The nose plays a central role in facial appearance — but often, we prefer it to blend in rather than stand out. Rhinoplasty is the surgical reshaping of the nose to improve or refine its form. It may involve just the nasal tip (cartilage) or a more extensive reconstruction including nasal bone and septum. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia depending on its complexity. At Estetiska Institutet, we specialize in primary rhinoplasty, meaning we only operate on noses that haven’t been previously altered.

Otoplasty (Ear Surgery)

Prominent ears are often caused by an underdeveloped antihelical fold or an overly deep ear cup (concha). Otoplasty reshapes the ear to a more natural position and balanced appearance. Incisions are typically made behind the ear, leaving no visible scarring.
