Lifting and anti-aging at PRIVATE
PRIVATE offers both surgical and non-surgical lifting, chosen by skin laxity and age. Surgical lifting takes about two to three hours, while HIFU uses high-intensity focused ultrasound with no downtime.

Surgical lifting
PRIVATE's Premium Lifting lifts the skin and the superficial musculo-aponeurotic system (SMAS) and removes excess fat under the chin and cheeks. It suits people with moderate to severe laxity.
Eyelid and brow lifting
Upper blepharoplasty lifts hooded lids that block vision, lower blepharoplasty treats under-eye bags and a sub-brow lift corrects a drooping brow, removing only as much skin as needed so the result does not look hollow or aged.
Non-surgical HIFU
Shrink HIFU uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to stimulate collagen in deep layers, tightening skin without surgery or downtime. It suits people with early mild laxity.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between lifting and HIFU?
- Surgical lifting suits significant laxity and gives a clear result but requires recovery. HIFU suits mild to moderate laxity without surgery or downtime, but the result is usually less dramatic.
