What is a Face-Lift?

A face-lift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging facial skin, smooth deep wrinkles, and restore youthful contours to the face and neck. It addresses aging effects caused by gravity, sun exposure, or lifestyle factors. 

Who is it For?

  • Individuals with sagging skin, deep facial folds, or jowls
  • Patients seeking a more youthful, rejuvenated facial appearance
  • Those who want natural, long-lasting anti-aging results
  • Ideal for men and women looking for premium surgical expertise and luxury care

How the Procedure Works

  • Consultation & Facial Analysis: Detailed assessment of skin, muscle structure, and facial symmetry.
  • Anesthesia: General anesthesia ensures comfort and safety.
  • Surgical Lifting & Tightening: Excess skin is removed, underlying muscles are repositioned, and remaining skin is redraped for a smooth contour.
  • Closure & Dressing: Incisions are carefully closed to minimize scarring; drains or bandages may be applied.
  • Recovery & Follow-Up: Post-operative care and monitoring ensure optimal healing and natural results.

Recovery & Downtime

  • Mild swelling, bruising, or numbness may last 1–2 weeks
  • Most patients resume normal daily activities in 10–14 days
  • Strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4–6 weeks
  • Full results appear over 2–3 months as tissues settle
