About the Operation

Facelift (rhytidectomy) is a comprehensive plastic surgery operation in which sagging skin on the face and neck is corrected by repositioning the SMAS (superficial musculo-aponeurotic system) layer. This procedure, which surgically resolves significant sagging and deep folds that treatments such as Botox or fillers cannot achieve, provides the person with a natural-looking rejuvenation of approximately 10–15 years.

Application Details

  • 1The SMAS layer is lifted and re-suspended as a separate layer; just tightening the skin alone does not provide a natural-looking result long term.
  • 2The incision is hidden within the hairline and around the ear to minimize scarring.
  • 3Mini facelift is a less invasive option suitable for ages 40–50.
  • 4Can be combined with neck lift (platysmaplasty) for comprehensive lower face rejuvenation.

Who Is It Suitable For?

  • Individuals 45+ who are troubled by skin sagging and deep facial lines at an advanced age
  • Patients for whom non-invasive methods such as Botox/fillers are no longer sufficient
