It is not just excess skin that causes the face to age.
\nOver time, the following change:<\/p>\n
This results in:<\/p>\n
That is precisely why, in his view, a purely superficial \u2018tightening\u2019 is often not enough.
\nThe aim of modern facial surgery is not simply to tighten the skin.
\nThe aim is to address the underlying anatomical changes in a harmonious way.<\/p>\n
For Dr Richter, no part of the face can be considered in isolation.
\nThe eyelids, midface, cheeks, mouth area, neck and jawline all influence one another.
\nA heavy-looking lower eyelid is often closely linked to the midface. A change in the jawline affects the entire neck contour. Loss of volume alters facial contours and the way light reflects.
\nThis is precisely why he always analyses the entire face: <\/p>\n
In his view, a natural look is almost never achieved by treating a single area in isolation.
\nIt is achieved through balance.<\/p>\n
Modern facelift surgery has undergone fundamental changes in recent years.
\nWhilst earlier approaches were often heavily focused on tension, the emphasis today is on deeper anatomical reduction, tissue preservation and natural mobility.
\nDr Richter is skilled in the full range of modern facial surgery \u2013 from traditional SMAS techniques and high-SMAS and deep-plane approaches to advanced and tissue-preserving procedures.
\nHowever, he does not believe that any single technology is inherently \u2018the best\u2019.
\nThe key question is always:
\nWhat is the anatomical situation?
\nWhich form of ageing is most prevalent?
\nAnd which technique produces a natural-looking result in the long term?
\nIt is precisely in this respect that he sees a key difference between trend-driven facial surgery and truly personalised surgical planning.<\/p>\n
Many patients today do not want a visible transformation.
\nYou want to appear more refreshed, calm and balanced \u2013 without losing your sense of self.
\nThat is precisely why Dr Richter deliberately adopts a rather cautious approach.
\nThe focus is not on maximum tension, maximum preparation or the greatest possible change.
\nWhat is crucial, however, is:<\/p>\n
Nowadays, modern deep-plane or high-SMAS techniques in particular often allow for significantly more natural tissue repositioning than earlier techniques that focused purely on tension.
\nYet even here, Dr Richter\u2019s philosophy remains:
\nNot every face requires maximum dissection.
\nFor him, experience also means recognising when causing less trauma is the better solution in the long term.<\/p>\n
A modern facelift is no substitute for good skin quality.
\nAnd not every sign of ageing is caused by sagging skin.
\nLoss of volume, in particular, plays a crucial role.
\nThat is why Dr Richter often combines surgical procedures with:<\/p>\n
These procedures can:<\/p>\n
It is precisely in this area that Dr Wiedner complements the joint approach, with a particular focus on regenerative medicine, skin quality and biological tissue stabilisation.<\/p>\n
The eye area is of particular importance to Dr Richter.
\nHardly any other area has such a strong influence on facial expression and perception.
\nIt is precisely here that his unique blend of aesthetic and reconstructive expertise comes to the fore.
\nHis many years of experience in treating functional disorders such as endocrine orbitopathy have deepened his understanding of:<\/p>\n
That is why he never considers aesthetic eyelid surgery in isolation.
\nIn his view, a beautiful eye should never be achieved at the expense of function or naturalness.<\/p>\n
A particular focus of his work is revision surgery.
\nMany patients come to us following previous operations, filler treatments, thread lifts or energy-based treatments.
\nIt is precisely situations like these that call for:<\/p>\n
Scars, altered tissue structures or previous invasive procedures often significantly alter the natural anatomy.
\nFor this reason, Dr Richter does not regard revision surgery as simply a second operation.
\nRather, they require a highly personalised reconstructive and aesthetic strategy.<\/p>\n
In his view, modern facial surgery increasingly involves biological support as well.
\nAfter all, a face that has been lifted surgically does not automatically look young.
\nSkin quality, tissue elasticity and regeneration remain crucial.
\nThat is why the UNIQ Institute is increasingly incorporating sustainable concepts:<\/p>\n
These procedures are not a substitute for surgery.
\nHowever, they can be a useful complement to surgery and help to ensure that the results look more natural in the long term.<\/p>\n
Modern facial surgery is often defined today in terms of specific surgical procedures.
\nDeep Plane. High-SMAS. Extended Deep Plane. Preservation.
\nFor Dr Richter, however, it is not the term itself that is the focus.
\nWhat matters is: <\/p>\n
For him, experience does not mean following every new trend.
\nExperience means having a firm grasp of all aspects of facial surgery \u2013 and choosing the most appropriate approach from them.<\/p>\n
Dr Richter does not view modern facial surgery as a competition to achieve dramatic changes.
\nHis aim is:<\/p>\n
In his view, the most challenging aspect of modern facial surgery is not to alter the face as drastically as possible.
\nRather, it is to restore balance, expression and naturalness.
\nA successful result should not draw attention to the operation.
\nIt should bring the face back into harmony with the person\u2019s personality.<\/p>\n
Modern facial surgery is not a standardised procedure.
\nIt is a highly individual combination of:<\/p>\n
That is precisely why it requires:<\/p>\n
Dr Richter\u2019s aim remains the same:
\nNot to do as much as possible \u2013 but to do exactly the right thing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
It shapes expression, charisma, recognisability and identity. Even small changes can therefore have a huge impact \u2013 for better or for worse.
