A facelift is one of the most effective surgical methods for facial rejuvenation. It tightens sagging skin, lifts sagging structures, and recontours the face. However, as with any procedure, the body needs time to heal. This is precisely where PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) comes in – as a natural complement to promote regeneration and reduce side effects.
Why PRP after a facelift?
After a surgical facelift, the tissue often reacts with swelling, bruising, and tightness. Blood flow may be reduced in certain areas, delaying healing. PRP contains a concentrated amount of growth factors extracted directly from your own blood. These substances accelerate cell regeneration, reduce inflammation, and support the formation of new collagen.

How is PRP used?
PRP is usually injected into the surrounding tissue or gently blended into the skin a few days after the facelift. The treatment is minimally invasive, virtually painless, and requires no additional downtime.
Who is PRP suitable for after a facelift?
This supportive therapy is suitable for all patients who want to optimize their treatment results and accelerate regeneration – especially if they are prone to poor wound healing, have sensitive skin, or if they want to return to social life as quickly as possible.
Conclusion
PRP is an effective, natural method to support healing after a facelift. It can not only shorten recovery time but also sustainably improve the overall aesthetic outcome.
