Ideal Facelift Candidates

Suitable patients are non-smokers in good physical and emotional health, without uncontrolled medical conditions that might impact surgery or recovery. During a private consultation, surgeons will evaluate skin quality and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Facelift Techniques

Full Facelift

A traditional facelift involves an incision along the hairline, extending to the temples and near the ear base. The deeper facial muscle layer is gently stretched and tightened, smoothing wrinkles and addressing extensive facial aging. This technique often combines complementary procedures like blepharoplasty or neck reduction.

Mid Facelift

Targeting the cheekbones and upper jaw, the mid-facelift addresses sagging in the middle facial region. It helps create a more defined jawline by reducing jowls and improving midface contours.

Lower Facelift

This approach focuses on the neck, chin, and jowl areas. Non-surgical techniques like laser skin tightening can complement the procedure to create a more youthful, defined appearance.

Procedure and Recovery

Facelift surgeries are typically performed under general anesthesia. Patients can expect initial swelling and discomfort, managed with prescribed medication. Most individuals feel and appear better within two to four weeks, revealing a softer, more natural, and rejuvenated facial appearance.

Combining Procedures

Complementary treatments like eyelid surgery, brow lifts, and non-surgical options such as dermal fillers can enhance overall facelift results, creating a harmonious and refreshed look.
