NYC Facelift is a part of Elite Clinics continuous investment in international further education in plastic surgery. I have recently returned from New York and the advanced training NYC Facelift & Rhinoplasty Master Course, where some of the world's leading experts in facelift and rhinoplasty taught modern techniques and deep plane methods.
NYC Facelift and international excellence at Elite Clinic
For us, it is crucial to have multiple surgical techniques to work with. This allows us to create an individual plastic surgery plan tailored to each patient, which is one of Elite Clinics great strengths.
We at Elite Clinic has a clear goal to offer our patients and customers the very best in plastic surgery. This applies regardless of whether it is laser treatments, skin treatments, injections, dermatology or hair transplants. Everything we offer must be absolutely world class.
I usually tell my employees that our service and treatments should correspond to the experience of a 5-star hotel or a restaurant with three stars in the Michelin Guide. This ambition permeates the entire Elite Clinic and our work with plastic surgery.
All our employees are handpicked based on their specialist expertise. They have extensive experience in their fields and always work with a focus on quality, safety and patient safety. The goal is for every patient to have a professional and personal experience at Elite Clinic. In order to offer the latest developments in plastic surgery, we regularly participate in international training courses and lectures around the world. We often receive confirmation that our work is of a high standard, but just as often we take new details home with us to continue developing. To settle down and stop developing is the most dangerous thing there is – and it is not Elite Clinic.
Finally, I would like to emphasize that the journey for our patients and customers does not end with the surgery. The time afterwards is at least as important, with high availability, careful follow-up and safe aftercare.
A warm welcome to us at Elite Clinic

Advanced training in laser treatments

 

Our dermatologist Malin Claudelin and our skin therapists Susanne Mattebo and Malin Johansson , have recently participated in an exclusive and advanced course with Dr. Kingsley in Oslo – an internationally recognized expert in laser treatments.

The focus was on CO2 laser treatments, with the goal of being able to offer even more precise, safe and effective treatments – which only doctors may perform.

 

Did you know that CO2 is still the golden standard for skin tightening and treatment of wrinkles around the eyes and mouth?

Mini eyebrow lift + Upper eyelid = Best results!

 

Mini eyebrow lift

Mini eyebrow lift makes you feel younger and look more vibrant

 

There are two areas on the face where aging is first visible – Around the eyes and on the neck.

One of the most common procedures we perform at Elite Clinic is upper eyelid surgeryWhen there is excess skin on your eyelids, you look tired. It can be difficult to apply makeup to your eyelids, and when it hangs enough, it can cause headaches or reduce your field of vision.

After upper eyelid surgery, you feel younger and it is not uncommon to hear comments from those around you about how fresh and rested you look. The eye area is not only the upper eyelids but also the eyebrow area and lower eyelids.

As we age, the elasticity of the skin decreases and the forehead actually becomes longer, which leads to the eyebrows hanging further down. In particular, the eyebrows often hang down at the very end, which can give the impression of a small curtain hanging down on the eyelid.

So it is common that both a small mini-lift of the eyebrows and excess skin removal from the eyelids are needed to get the very best result.

Eyelid

Bags under the eyes can be removed with a lower blepharoplasty.

The earliest signs that you are no longer 20, even though you feel like it in your heart and soul, are the area around your eyes and neck. Suddenly you don’t recognize yourself in the mirror… In the past, you may have been surprised by how everyone around you started to look middle-aged and tired, and you may have even met an old friend you hadn’t seen in a while and thought afterwards “how old she looked”

As we get older, a lot changes in our faces. The skin becomes less elastic, small dark spots can appear and the forehead becomes longer. The muscles in the forehead hold the eyebrows up in the middle, but the sides of the eyebrows sag a little faster and can make the eyes look tired. There can also be too much skin on the eyelid itself, which also gives a sleepy impression. Under the eyes, fat bags or deep furrows collect that look dark when the light falls from the wrong direction. It often looks worse in the morning… All the fat in the face decreases with age and when you look at a card from your youth, it is usually a rounder or oval face - not a square one with bulldog cheeks!

Luckily, there are many things you can do to go back in time and feel like you are. Younger, that is!

The skin is super important for looking young and if you want to age more slowly, it must be taken care of. Sometimes pigment spots or small blood vessels appear with age and we can easily remove these with laser and at the same time get a better glow in the skin. If the eyebrows are drooping, there are several things we can do, the easiest of which is to add BTX to lift the eyebrows up again. If this is not enough or if you want something more permanent, there are various surgeries that can help.

The bags under the eyes can be removed with a lower eyelid surgery and usually combined with filling in a little fat that we borrow from, for example, the stomach. Sometimes, fat alone can be enough without you needing any major surgery. So feel free to contact us - to get your younger self back...

Is it good to have surgery during the menstrual period?

When is the best time of year for surgery?

When is the best time of year for surgery?

When is the best time of year to have surgery? A common question we get is: – Now is not a good time to have the surgery because it is the month of menstruation?

The time in question is July-August, but it's about food and not about surgeries and wounds...

However, there are several operations where compression garments are an important part of the aftercare to achieve a perfect result and then it is difficult if it is the height of summer and a heat wave. So yes, there are operations that are suitable for different times of the year. Perhaps the most important thing is to take into account what is happening in life so that recovery and healing do not interfere with important events such as weddings, vacations, ski trips, etc.

With that said, we are now entering late summer, fall and winter and these seasons are ideal for several plastic surgeries that require compression garments. In addition, a tummy tuck , arm lift , thigh lift , facelift or breast reduction will have time to heal nicely before it is time to take off some clothes again when summer and the warm weather return. So if you are considering these surgeries, book a consultation and we will help you put together a plan for you and when surgery would fit into your life.

Modern eyelid surgery

When those around you wonder if you slept poorly, or you find it difficult to paint your eyelids without it "smearing" and if you yourself even have difficulty seeing because the skin on your eyelids hangs down over your eyelashes - then you can be helped by an upper eyelid surgery!

It gives a more lively and rested impression and it is perhaps not surprising that it is one of the more in-demand procedures we perform. What is important in modern eyelid surgery is not to remove fat unnecessarily, as this can lead to the eye sockets looking empty after a few years, which instead gives an aged impression. Modern eyelid surgery means that we sometimes move the fat instead to get a youthful, lively appearance. We always adapt the surgery to your conditions!

We at Elite Clinic is always at the forefront of everything plastic surgery and offers only the best. Completely adapted to your conditions and needs.
