Introduction

A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to lift and reposition sagging facial tissues to restore a more youthful and balanced appearance. Modern techniques address deeper tissue (SMAS) as well as excess skin to produce natural, lasting results.


What it treats

  • Jowling and sagging cheeks, loose jawline, neck laxity.
  • Often combined with neck lift, eyelid surgery, or volume restoration when needed.

Recovery overview

  • Initial swelling and bruising improve over weeks; results refine over months.
  • Incisions are placed discreetly along the hairline and near the ears.
