Facelift
Surgical correction of facial and jawline sagging
A facelift addresses sagging skin, jowls and deep folds that develop as facial tissue and support structures loosen with age — repositioning, not just tightening, the underlying layers for a natural, refreshed look.
Rather than simply pulling skin tighter, our surgical technique repositions the deeper SMAS layer of the face, which produces a more natural, longer-lasting result than skin-only approaches.
Key Benefits
- Significant reduction in jowls and nasolabial folds
- Improved jawline and neck definition
- Long-lasting results compared to non-surgical alternatives
- Can be combined with eyelid surgery or fat transfer
Is This Treatment Right For You?
- Patients with moderate to significant facial and jawline sagging
- Those who have plateaued with non-surgical treatments
- Adults typically 45+, though candidacy is individual
What to Expect

Light compression and drains, if used, are typically removed within days.

Recovery & Aftercare
Initial bruising and swelling subside over 2–3 weeks, with most patients comfortable in social settings by week 3–4. Final results continue refining for several months.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a facelift last?
Results typically last 8-12 years or longer, though the natural ageing process continues.
Will I look 'overdone'?
Our technique aims for natural repositioning rather than over-tightened skin, avoiding a pulled or windswept look.
Can this be combined with other procedures?
Yes — many patients combine a facelift with eyelid surgery, a brow lift, or fat transfer for comprehensive rejuvenation.
