AURELIA Lift: The innovative facial rejuvenation by Dr. Gueven
The AURELIA® Lift The AURELIA Facelift is one of the most modern and gentle methods in facial surgery for restoring youthful freshness and definition to the face without altering natural expressions. It represents a philosophy of aesthetic surgery that aims not at radical change, but at a harmonious rejuvenation. Dr. Gueven, a leading specialist in facial surgery, has refined this procedure through his international expertise. AURELIA Lift This well-known technique is based on minimally invasive precision and a deep understanding of anatomy. If you are looking for rejuvenation that works without being noticeable, this is the right choice. AURELIA Lift often the ideal way.

What is the AURELIA Lift? The revolution in endoscopic lifting.
The AURELIA Lift This is the standardized and perfected form of the endoscopic mid-face lift developed by Dr. Gueven. It is a surgical procedure often referred to as a "keyhole lift." Unlike traditional facelifts, which require longer incisions, this method uses tiny incisions, just a few centimeters long, placed almost invisibly in the scalp.
Through these incisions, a high-resolution miniature camera (an endoscope) is inserted. This camera transmits a magnified image of the deep tissue structures to a monitor. Dr. Gueven therefore does not operate by direct vision, but rather with the aid of a highly precise camera image and special micro-instruments. This technique makes it possible to precisely release, lift, and reposition sagging tissue in the cheeks, temples, and eyebrows. AURELIA Lift It is therefore a deep-acting method that repositions the tissue instead of just tightening the skin, resulting in a particularly natural and long-lasting outcome.
The philosophy behind the AURELIA Lift: Vertical lifting instead of horizontal pulling
Many patients' biggest concern is a "surgically treated" or "pulled" appearance. Outdated techniques or superficial "mini-lifts" often only tighten the skin in a horizontal direction (backwards), which distorts facial expressions and leads to unnatural tension.
The AURELIA Lift follows a completely different, anatomically correct principle:
Aging is a downward sagging of tissue (vertical vector). Therefore, the correction must logically involve an upward lift (against gravity). With the AURELIA Lift, Dr. Gueven lifts the entire deep tissue package of the midface as a single unit and repositions it in its original, youthful position. The skin follows this lift completely without tension. This profound understanding of anatomy, honed by masters of his craft in the USA, is the key to the natural-looking results his patients report.
For whom is an AURELIA lift the ideal solution?
The AURELIA Lift It is ideally suited for patients who notice significant sagging in the midface, temples, and eyebrows, but do not yet have pronounced sagging in the lower face or neck. It is the perfect solution for anyone who desires significant rejuvenation without the typical scarring of surgery in front of or behind the ear.
This procedure is ideal for you if you find the following:
- They suffer from sagging cheeks and a flattened cheekbone area.
- Her gaze appears tired or sad due to slightly drooping eyebrows (brow ptosis).
- Deep nasolabial folds have formed due to the sagging of the midface.
- They desire a natural-looking, rejuvenated appearance without visible scars.
- They are between the ages of 30 and 45, at which point a full deep plane facelift would often be too early.
- You are looking for a long-lasting, but minimally invasive alternative to fillers or a thread lift.
The unrivaled advantages of the AURELIA Lift
The decision for a AURELIA Lift Dr. Gueven's methods offer significant advantages compared to traditional approaches, in line with modern, gentle surgical techniques. The focus is on maximum effectiveness with minimal invasiveness.
- Minimally invasive technique: Only tiny cuts (approx. 1-2 cm) are necessary.
- No visible scars: The cuts are completely concealed by the hair in the temple and top of the head area and are not visible to outsiders later.
- Faster healing: Due to the minimal incisions and the tissue-sparing technique, swelling and bruising are often less than with open methods, which reduces downtime.
- Natural results: Because the tissue is lifted deep within the body, and not just the skin tightened, the results do not look "mask-like" or "operated on." Natural facial expressions are fully preserved.
- Precise correction: The high-resolution camera provides a magnified view of the surgical field and allows for millimeter-accurate repositioning of the soft tissues.
- Long-lasting effect: The result of the repositioning of the deep supporting structures (SMAS) and fixation to the bone is AURELIA Facelifts especially sustainable (10-15 years).

No. A "mini-lift" is often a marketing term for a superficial skin tightening procedure with short-term results.
