Our face/head are delicate regions that contain hundreds of different details. This complexity requires an unrivalled approach that incorporates the latest technology and a vision for aesthetics and harmonious composition.
Growing older is part of life. But while many people greatly appreciate the life experiences and events they have gained, many are unhappy with the changed appearance that comes with age.
Because with age, the muscle layers slacken and the face looks tired. The development of a double chin can also give the face an old or even bitter expression.
However, many people feel younger than they are and want to show this through their appearance.
In this case, a facelift can be just the right option to give the face back its freshness for a long time.
Signs of ageing can be reversed harmoniously with a competently performed facelift. It is always important that the facelift is adapted to your individual facial features and that your facial expressions and gestures take centre stage. Often a much more impressive and longer-lasting effect can be achieved with careful and sparingly applied lifts than if "too much is done at once".
In the following, we would like to introduce you to the various plastic aesthetic lifting methods used at the Rosengasse Clinic by Prof. Hofmann.
This is a minor procedure that easily corrects incipient signs of skin ageing with a highly visible result. Effort and risk are low.
An ideal treatment procedure for patients who do not want a major procedure.
During this surgical procedure, the sagging tissue is returned to its original position as far as possible under general anaesthesia. Depending on the characteristics of the individual face, it is also advantageously modelled.
The result of this facelifting method is particularly natural and, above all, long-lasting.
With this much deeper method, all layers are repositioned. This method is extremely durable.
When deciding on a facelift, please consider the following advice: lifts that only superficially tighten the facial skin may initially bring about a positive result, but are only short-lived.
With his own technique, Prof. Albert K. Hofmann has optimised the normal facelift. The aim of this treatment technique is to achieve an aesthetically lasting result, individually adapted with minimally invasive surgical techniques.
A very good facelift preserves the individual facial expression in its naturalness. The perfect facelift should not be recognised as a therapy, but allow the face to shine with a fresh and refreshed impression.
The advantages of this facelift method: Immediately after the procedure, you will hardly feel any unpleasant tightness and the healing of the wound will be greatly accelerated.
You are welcome to contact us at any time to arrange an individual consultation on the subject of facelifting.

Wrinkles around the mouth and nose, or forehead wrinkles, are among the most common signs of ageing on the face. If you want to have specific facial wrinkles removed, there is the option of wrinkle injections.
The padding can be done without anaesthesia. Even as a minor procedure, but one that nevertheless gets under the skin, this treatment is more than just a cosmetic treatment and requires medical experience.
The success is of limited duration and requires treatment repetitions at regular intervals.
Depending on the application, the plastic surgeon will choose the most suitable material together with you.
An overview and comparison of the different preparations can be found in a guidebook by the German Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (DGÄPC).

The eyes are the window to the soul and so the delicate skin around your eyes deserves our special attention.
If the drooping or drooping eyelid is simply an excess of skin, it is surgically removed. The radiosurgery procedure ensures a precise incision and the scar becomes virtually invisible.
Eye bags are caused by larger fat deposits. They are eliminated by removing the excess tissue with a discreet incision from the edge of the lower eyelid. Under certain conditions, the procedure can also be performed through the conjunctiva.
Facts:
Clinic stay: not applicable
Treatment | surgery duration: approx. 1 hour
Type of anaesthesia: general anaesthesia, if necessary also local anaesthesia
Fit for socialising: after approx. 7 days

There are many reasons why a nose can be perceived as unattractive. These impairments can be corrected with a nose correction.
In nose correction (rhinoplasty), changes to the bone, cartilage and soft tissue mantle are usually performed from the inside.
The advantage of this type of surgery is that no visible scars remain. The standard snub nose should by no means be the measure of all things. Rather, the doctor will carry out the correction individually and in accordance with your overall appearance.
Facts:
Clinic stay: 1 day
Treatment | OP duration: approx.1 hour
Type of anaesthesia: General anaesthesia
Fit for socialising: after approx. 8-10 days
Important to know: A tamponade must be worn for 24 hours after the operation, a nose splint stabilises the result for about a week.

Protruding ears should be corrected as early as possible. Many children with protruding ears suffer terribly from the ridicule of their peers.
Ideally, this procedure should be performed on children before they start school.
During ear correction, cartilage is removed to reduce and thin out the auricle. The existing cartilage tension is removed by modelling and the ear cartilage is brought into the desired shape.
Facts:
Clinic stay: outpatient
Treatment | surgery duration: approx. 1 hour
Type of anaesthesia: general anaesthesia, local anaesthesia if necessary
Fit for socialising: after approx. 7 days

Full sensual lips give women an irresistible smile and radiate femininity and sex appeal.
Very narrow lips can be brought into shape with various procedures. The plastic surgeon can also correct conspicuous differences in shape or unsightly wrinkles in or at the base of the lips.
Similar to wrinkle treatment, hyaluronic acid or autologous fat is inserted into the lips to enlarge them or to smooth out wrinkles and irregularities.
However, depending on the material, the shelf life is limited and the application may have to be repeated at regular intervals.
Surgical intervention is possible for permanent lip augmentation. In this case, a scar remains on the edge of the lip, which is usually barely visible.
Facts:
Clinic stay: not applicable
Treatment | OP duration: 15 - 30 min.
Type of anaesthesia: local anaesthesia

Every face needs a harmonious shape in order to be perceived as beautiful and likeable by others. A strongly receding or protruding chin is often the reason for a visually unaesthetic impression of the face.
The receding chin can be optically corrected with various implants or the body's own substances. It would also be possible, but far more extensive, to surgically reshape the chin bone to completely new contours.
In the case of a protruding chin, the chin bone, the tip of the chin or the centre of the chin area can be removed. This way the chin is reduced and harmonised as a whole.
Facts:
Clinic stay: not applicable
Treatment | OP duration: approx. 30 min
Type of anaesthesia: General anaesthesia
Fit for society: 3-5 days

Depending on the individual condition, various interventions may be necessary here. In the case of a double chin, for example, liposuction can lead to more attractiveness.
Excess skin that forms wrinkles can be surgically removed.
The specialists at the Rosengasse Clinic use modern procedures for this that leave barely visible scars.

Many people find sagging neck areas, neck wrinkles or a double chin very disturbing and unattractive. In this case, an entire facelift does not have to be performed. The neck can also be tightened as part of a separate procedure.
Depending on the individual condition, different procedures lead to the goal. In the case of a double chin, for example, liposuction can lead to more attractiveness. Excess skin that forms wrinkles can be surgically removed and the skin tightened.
The specialists at the Rosengasse Clinic use modern procedures for this that leave hardly any visible scars.

A healthy, low-calorie diet and sufficient exercise are the best ways to effectively reduce obesity.
However, many fat deposits, such as those on the cheeks, upper arms, abdomen, buttocks and thighs, can't be combated even with a consistent healthy lifestyle.
The Rosengasse Clinic performs liposuction using a special procedure developed by Prof. Hofmann. A water-salt-based solution is injected into the areas to be treated.
This reduces the density of the tissue and the fat cells swell. The softened fat cells are then destroyed and suctioned out under vacuum.
The damage to the connective tissue is significantly reduced with this method, so there is hardly any swelling or bruising.
The healing process is also accelerated and the procedure has a positive effect on existing cellulite.
Facts:
Hospital stay: possibly 1 day
Treatment | OP duration: depending on the suction area
Type of anaesthesia: local anaesthesia, general anaesthesia
Fit for society: after a few days
