Facelift & Mini Facelift

Surgical facelift and mini facelift performed by Dr Jayson Oates (MBBS, FRACS), specialist Otolaryngologist and Head and Neck Surgeon in Subiaco, Perth. Procedures address facial sagging, jowling, and neck laxity through deep-plane tissue lifting and repositioning. The mini facelift targets early-stage laxity with smaller incisions and faster recovery than a full facelift.

Dr Jayson Oates performs surgical facelift procedures at Academy Face and Body in Subiaco, Perth, Western Australia, drawing on his training as a specialist Otolaryngologist and Head and Neck Surgeon — a surgical discipline that provides a uniquely detailed knowledge of facial anatomy, nerve pathways, and tissue planes compared to general plastic surgery approaches. A full facelift (rhytidectomy) addresses the mid and lower face, jowls, and neck by lifting and repositioning the deeper SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) layer, which provides a more durable and natural result than skin-only techniques. Incisions are typically placed within the hairline, in front of and behind the ear, and in the natural skin creases so scarring is well concealed. The mini facelift — also called a short-scar facelift or S-lift — uses smaller incisions around the ear and targets early-to-moderate facial sagging, with less operating time and a faster recovery period than a full rhytidectomy. Both procedures are performed under general anaesthesia or twilight sedation and require a recovery period before patients return to work and social activities. Perth and WA patients seeking facial rejuvenation from a surgeon with subspecialty ENT and head and neck training benefit from Dr Oates's procedural precision in the periauricular and neck anatomy. A valid GP referral is required for initial consultation in line with Australian health regulations. All surgical pricing is discussed at consultation and not published — patients are encouraged to contact the Subiaco rooms on (08) 9382 4800 to arrange an appointment.
