JANSSEN ZÜRICH

Janssen | Zurich is one of the first clinics in Switzerland with a unique specialisation in facelift surgery. Our focus is on endoscopic facelifts, ponytail lifts, as well as complex revisions and deep plane facelifts.

Facelift surgery

With exclusive specialisation in plastic facial surgery, we offer only facial rejuvenation procedures, particularly facelifts, neck lifts, eyelid surgery, and brow lifts. Under the direction of Dr. Tim J. Janssen, specialist in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, our focus is on natural and harmonious treatment outcomes.
The endoscopic facelift technique is particularly used for rejuvenation of patients who do not wish to have facelift scars. This innovative method avoids visible scars because the incisions are completely hidden in the hairline. The endoscopic facelift can also be combined with a neck lift to achieve a comprehensive, scar-free face and neck rejuvenation.
The deep plane facelift is the gold standard for treating advanced signs of ageing in the lower third of the face and the neck area. The incisions are placed discreetly in natural skin folds and behind the ear.
At Janssen Zurich, we place great importance on a holistic treatment of all facial areas. Facelifts are often combined with additional procedures such as brow lifts, upper and lower eyelid lifts, lip lifts, or fat grafting to achieve harmonious and balanced results.

What our patients say

Excellent care, natural results, and trustworthy expertise – testimonials from patients in Switzerland and worldwide.
Dr. Janssen performed a ponytail facelift on me two weeks ago. My cheeks and brows are lifted exactly as I had hoped, and I look so much better now! The team took incredibly caring care to ensure I felt comfortable and well looked after. The healing has been quick and clean, and the scars are hidden in the hair and therefore invisible! I am truly happy with the result, and all my friends love my new look!

After consulting several other doctors, I chose Dr. Janssen to perform a complex scar revision – following a previous operation by another doctor that required extensive reconstruction. The entire team took exceptional care of me. Now, a few weeks after the surgery, I am overjoyed with the result. I cannot thank Dr. Janssen enough!

Scar Revision
I am 70 years old and underwent a facelift by Dr. Tim Janssen six months ago. Additionally, my upper and lower eyelids were corrected and my chin was tightened. I am very satisfied with the result. I look younger and more rested and enjoy looking at myself in the mirror every morning while shaving. No one except my closest friends and family, who knew about the procedure, notices that my new appearance is the result of cosmetic surgery. Furthermore, I had great concerns that my facial expression would change – but that is not the case. Perfect! I have never regretted this step. Thank you very much, Dr. Janssen.

Facelift
In October, Dr. Janssen tightened and enlarged my breasts using my own fat. I decided to take this step three years ago because my breasts had become significantly saggy after two pregnancies with considerable weight gain (over 20 kg each time), subsequent weight loss, and 18 months of breastfeeding. I looked for a doctor for a long time. I spoke with three doctors, but it was Dr. Janssen who truly convinced me. And the long wait was worth it. The result is fantastic! Despite the difficult starting situation, my breasts are beautifully shaped, and after six months, the scars are barely visible. My gynaecologist said she immediately recognised that a master was at work here – and she was right.

A scarless facelift refers to the absence of visible scars. In endoscopic techniques, incisions are hidden within the hairline, instead of infront of the ears, making them discreet and difficult to detect. Learn More

The ponytail facelift is a non-medical term often used to describe various subtle lifting procedures. In most cases, this is achieved through an endoscopic facelift, which repositions deeper tissues (deep plane) using key whole incision without visible facelift incisions. The vector of pull is more vertical compared to other facelift techniques, therefore mimicking the effects of a tight ponytail. Learn More

Dr Janssen’s Endoscopic Facelift carefully dissects the retaining ligaments in the deep plane to improve durability of results therefore typically lasting 10 to 15 years, depending on individual factors such as genetics and ageing. The longevity is influenced by multiple factors including lifestyle. Maintenance tips will be part of the the facelift journey.

Most patients are socially presentable within 1 to 2 weeks, with continued improvement over several weeks. It usually takes 4-6 weeks for the majority of the swelling to be gone and top to 3 months for the final results to reveal.
