Dr Glenn Murray performs surgical facelift (rhytidectomy) and mini facelift procedures at the Absolute Cosmetic Nedlands day hospital in Perth, Western Australia, offering patients a pathway to meaningful, long-lasting facial rejuvenation that non-surgical alternatives cannot replicate. The published surgeon fee for facelift begins from $10,990 AUD; theatre fees, post-operative garments, and medications are additional costs confirmed at the pre-surgical consultation. A full facelift addresses the mid-face, lower face, jawline, and neck simultaneously — repositioning and tightening the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) layer of fibromuscular tissue that anchors facial soft tissues to skeletal structures, then removing excess skin. This multi-layer SMAS approach is associated with more natural, durable results than older skin-only (superficial) rhytidectomies because it corrects the structural descent of the facial tissues rather than only tightening the overlying skin. The mini facelift — sometimes called a short-scar facelift — uses a shorter incision pattern to address early jowling and mild lower-face laxity in patients with less advanced facial ageing who do not yet require the full extent of a traditional rhytidectomy. Dr Murray (MBBS UWA 1993, FRACGP, 30+ years full-time cosmetic medicine) trained under Dr Pierre Fournier, whose surgical philosophy and technical teaching inform his approach to facial anatomy and proportionality. The Nedlands facility is WA Health Department licensed and holds the first Cosmetic Standards accreditation awarded to a WA day hospital, providing patients across Perth and Western Australia with appropriate surgical and anaesthetic infrastructure for a procedure of this complexity. Recovery from a full facelift typically involves ten to fourteen days of social downtime and four to six weeks before resuming strenuous activity.
