naturallonger-lastingcomprehensive

Signature technique

Die Praxis von Dr. Volker Rippmann bei Metropolitan Aesthetics in Berlin bietet prominent die Deep-Plane-Facelift-Chirurgie als einen anspruchsvollen Ansatz zur Gesichtsverjüngung an. Diese fortschrittliche Technik zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass sie die zugrunde liegenden strukturellen Veränderungen im Zusammenhang mit dem Altern angeht, insbesondere auf der Ebene des SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System). Anstatt nur die Haut zu straffen, beinhaltet Dr. Rippmanns Methode eine sorgfältige Präparation unterhalb der SMAS-Schicht, die eine umfassende Neupositionierung tieferer Gesichtsgewebe ermöglicht. Dieser akribische Ansatz zielt darauf ab, Ergebnisse zu liefern, die sowohl natürlicher im Aussehen als auch deutlich länger anhaltend sind und nicht nur die Hauterschlaffung, sondern auch die grundlegenden Ursachen der Gesichtsalterung wirksam angehen. Seine Expertise in diesem Bereich wird durch seine Aufnahme in eine ausgewählte Gruppe von Deep-Plane-Facelift-Spezialisten in Berlin und seine Veröffentlichungen in deutschen Publikationen wie WELT und BUNTE Magazin unterstrichen.

Dr. Rippmann's Surgical Approach

The deep plane facelift technique represents an evolution in facial rejuvenation surgery, addressing facial aging at the level of the SMAS rather than through superficial skin tightening alone. This approach involves careful dissection beneath the superficial musculoaponeurotic system to access and reposition deeper facial structures.

The deep plane facelift technique represents an evolution in facial rejuvenation surgery, addressing facial aging at the level of the SMAS rather than through superficial skin tightening alone. This approach involves careful dissection beneath the superficial musculoaponeurotic system to access and reposition deeper facial structures.

Sub-SMAS dissection allows surgeons to work with the natural tissue planes of the face. By releasing key retaining ligaments and mobilizing the deeper layers, surgeons can achieve more comprehensive and natural-appearing results than traditional facelift techniques permit.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves 2-3 weeks of initial healing, with most visible bruising resolving within 7-10 days and sutures removed at days 7-10. International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete.
