Facial surgery
The aesthetic facial surgery is an important part of the complex maxillofacial surgery, it combines medical precision with high standards of aesthetics and individuality. This involves not only functional corrections, but also targeted Rejuvenating, toning and harmonizing the face.
Depending on your skin type, individual preferences, and treatment goals, there are various methods for facial rejuvenation and aesthetic enhancement. In general, we differentiate between surgical procedures and non-invasive or minimally invasive treatments without surgery. While surgical interventions offer long-lasting results, gentle methods allow for a more subtle improvement with shorter recovery times.
You can find our minimally invasive treatments under the section Anti-Aging.
Dr. Julia Berkei's Expertise
For over two decades, I have dedicated myself with passion and surgical precision to aesthetic facial surgery, with a particular focus on facelifts. My journey began 25 years ago in Los Angeles, working alongside some of the most renowned plastic surgeons in the United States. Their techniques, sense of harmony, and uncompromising commitment to quality have fundamentally shaped my approach.
In the years that followed, I studied a wide range of facelift techniques around the world – from the deep plane facelift to the SMAS lift and MACS lift – and have continuously refined them. Today, this international expertise flows into a highly individualized method that not only restructures the face but also significantly improves skin quality.
Naturally Younger – Individual and Precise
In my practice, the face is always considered as a whole. True rejuvenation does not begin with a single procedure but with a deep understanding of facial expression, skin quality, tissue structure, and individual anatomy.
My holistic approach combines surgical precision with regenerative technologies – such as a multi-layer facelift combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, advanced stem cell technology, and – where appropriate – a deep-acting phenol peel. This allows not only the anatomical repositioning of deeper structures but also a visibly improved, finer skin texture – resulting in outcomes that look natural, not “done.”
More and more men are choosing targeted, individualized treatments starting as early as their 40s – whether to enhance the jawline, lift sagging cheeks, or gently correct the eye area. Because the earlier initial changes are carefully balanced, the more natural and lasting the results appear.
Every Face is unique
And deserves equally individual treatment.
Whether it's a facelift, eyelid correction, forehead lift, jawline contouring, PRP therapy, or a combination of procedures, the focus is always on the individual. My aim is to preserve and subtly enhance natural beauty. Precise. Discreet. And in harmony with the individual's personality.
