"Five years ago, I might have done one facelift a month, now it's three a week."
"In the past, we basically just tried to bring the sagging and fallen facial skin back into the correct position in some way. With the previous procedure, it often looked strange. The wrinkles were gone, but the face didn't look really rejuvenated - like Mickey Rourke's, for example. It annoyed me that a facelift was ultimately usually recognized, even though we Europeans still operated relatively conservatively compared to the Americans.
By loosening the adhesions or ligaments, I can mobilize everything upwards again and bring it back to its old position. It is up to the plastic surgeon to ensure that this does not result in overcorrection. In the past, when only the skin was tightened, it was even necessary to overcorrect because the skin always gave way again relatively quickly - after a few months it usually looked okay again. But that doesn't happen with the new method, you do it the way you want it to look in the end.
The operation requires extensive anatomical knowledge, as it is performed at the deep level of the muscles, where nerves and vessels run. Thorough planning and execution of the procedure are therefore essential in order to avoid possible complications."
The interview with Dr. Volker Rippmann at WELT provides a fascinating insight into the world of aesthetic surgery and highlights the importance of continuous research and development in this field. As a pioneer in the field of deep plane facelift, Dr. Rippmann continues to set the standard, giving his patients a new, confident appearance with youthful contours and a fresh look.
