Before & After GALLERY
What Is A FACELIFT?
A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at reducing the signs of aging on the face and neck. It involves lifting and tightening the skin, muscles, and underlying tissues to create a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. The procedure can address various concerns such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, jowls, and excess fat deposits. It typically involves incisions made around the ear and/or hairline, allowing the surgeon to access and manipulate the underlying tissues.
How Does A FACELIFT WORK?
A facelift works by lifting and tightening the skin, muscles, and underlying tissues of the face and neck. The procedure typically involves making incisions around the ear and/or hairline, allowing the surgeon to access and manipulate the underlying tissues. The surgeon will then lift and reposition the skin and underlying tissues to create a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance. Excess skin may also be removed to further tighten the skin and improve the overall results.

Procedure Timeline
CONSULTATION
The initial consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon typically takes place several weeks before the procedure. During this appointment, the surgeon will evaluate the patient's facial features, skin quality, and overall health, and discuss the patient's goals and expectations.
PRE-OPERATIVE CONSULTATION
In the weeks leading up to the facelift, the patient may be advised to stop smoking, avoid certain medications and supplements, and follow other instructions to prepare for the procedure.
SURGERY
The facelift procedure itself typically takes several hours to complete and is usually performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
RECOVERY
After the surgery, the patient will need to rest and recover for several days to several weeks, depending on the extent of the surgery. During this time, the patient may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, and will need to follow specific instructions to promote healing and prevent complications.
POST OPERATIVE APPOINTMENTS
The surgeon will typically schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the patient's progress and ensure proper healing. The patient may also be advised to avoid certain activities and wear a compression garment to minimize swelling and promote healing.
FAQ’S
How long does a facelift last?
This can vary depending on several factors, including the individual’s age, skin quality, and lifestyle habits. Generally, a facelift can last for several years, but it will not stop the natural aging process from continuing. The results of a facelift can be prolonged with good skincare, a healthy diet, and sun protection.
What is the recovery like after a facelift?
