Resumen factual
Datos clave del lifting facial en Barcelona
- Qué es
- El lifting facial es la cirugía que reposiciona los planos profundos del rostro (SMAS) para corregir flacidez cervicofacial. A diferencia del estiramiento cutáneo simple, el lifting profundo no genera aspecto tirante y dura entre 10 y 15 años.
- Técnicas
- Realizamos lifting facial SMAS profundo y mannequin lift (variante con cicatriz retroauricular oculta). En casos seleccionados combinamos lifting con blefaroplastia (rejuvenecimiento de párpados) en el mismo acto quirúrgico para un resultado armónico cara-ojos-cuello.
- Precio en Barcelona
- El precio del lifting facial en NATURAL FIT incluye cirugía, anestesia general, quirófano hospitalario, pruebas preoperatorias completas, vendaje postoperatorio y todas las revisiones. Financiación al 0 % hasta 12 meses sin entrada.
- Recuperación
- Reincorporación social en 2-3 semanas cuando el edema y los hematomas ceden. Retirada de puntos a los 7-10 días. Resultado preliminar visible a las 4 semanas; resultado definitivo a los 6 meses, cuando la cicatriz se vuelve discreta.
- Duración resultado
- El lifting facial quirúrgico SMAS mantiene el resultado entre 10 y 15 años. El envejecimiento sigue su curso, pero el rostro siempre permanece más rejuvenecido que sin la cirugía. Compatible con tratamientos médicos posteriores (PRP, mesoterapia, toxina botulínica).
- Quién opera
- Opera el Dr. Martín Gastón Álvarez, colegiado n.º 54450 (COMB Barcelona), con 18 años de experiencia internacional. Casos reales documentados de lifting facial en pacientes de 50-70 años, incluidos casos con cuello corto, fumadoras o anatomías complejas.
The Procedure
What is a facelift?
The facelift is the most comprehensive surgery for facial rejuvenation. It repositions the facial tissues to eliminate skin laxity, deep wrinkles and loss of definition of the facial oval.
Our surgeons apply modern techniques that respect the natural structure of the face, guaranteeing a rejuvenating yet completely natural result.
The results of a facelift are long-lasting and are enhanced by complementary bioregeneration treatments and personalised follow-up.

Local anaesthesia or sedation
Tumescent anaesthesia is used to ensure maximum comfort and minimum bleeding during the procedure.
03
Minimal incisions
Strategic 2–3 mm micro-incisions in hidden areas to insert the extraction cannulas.
04
Modelling and sculpting
Selective and precise fat extraction with high-technology cannulas. The surgeon sculpts the contour with artistic vision.
Safe surgery
05
Drainage and closure
Incisions are closed with absorbable stitches. A compression garment is placed to optimise skin retraction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions answered
Your surgery includes the surgical procedure, a personalised nutritional plan for the pre- and post-operative period, personal trainer sessions at our specialist gym, all medical follow-up appointments and continuous monitoring.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation. Post-operative discomfort is mild and easily managed with the prescribed medication. Most patients describe minimal discomfort.
Initial results are visible within a few weeks. The final result is apparent between 3 and 6 months after surgery, once the skin has fully retracted.
With our comprehensive method, which includes a nutritionist and personal trainer, we help you build lasting habits to maintain your results permanently. The extracted fat cells do not return.
Most patients resume daily activities within 48–72 hours. Personalised medical follow-up ensures an optimal and safe recovery.
There is no fixed age; it depends on the signs of ageing. Typically between 45 and 65 years, although each case is assessed individually.
Typically 8–12 years. Ageing continues its course but from a rejuvenated starting point. Good skin care and healthy habits prolong the result.
Modern techniques (SMAS, deep-plane) prioritise a natural appearance. The resectionist facelifts of the 1990s gave an artificial look. At NATURAL FIT we work with techniques that respect facial volumes.
This is the complication we work hardest to prevent. Precise anatomical technique and the surgeon's experience are decisive in preserving facial expression intact.
At 2 weeks the appearance is usually presentable with make-up. Residual swelling and the final changes settle at 3 months.

Honest information
Risks and safety of the facelift
Every surgery, however minimally invasive, carries risks. We explain them transparently so you can decide with complete information. At NATURAL FIT Body Contouring® we apply the strictest protocols to minimise them as much as possible.
Nerve injury
Temporary involvement of the facial nerve (frontal or marginal branch). Uncommon and usually reversible. Meticulous anatomical technique prevents it.
Scars
Located in the scalp and in front of and behind the ear. Discreet and well concealed in the majority of patients.
Asymmetries
Minor differences between both sides that can be retouched from the one-year mark.
Bruising
More frequent in the neck than the face. The drainage and compression garment technique minimises them.
Sensitivity changes
Temporary numbness of facial and neck areas. Gradually returns to normal.
Skin necrosis
Very low risk, mainly in smokers. This is why ceasing tobacco use weeks before surgery is required.
According to the Spanish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (SECPRE), the modern facelift using SMAS or deep-plane technique delivers natural-looking, long-lasting results with a high safety profile when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon. Consult the society »
