Facelift

Surgical face lifting for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

A facelift (rhytidectomy) lifts and tightens the deeper facial tissues and removes excess skin to restore a more youthful facial contour. Modern techniques focus on the SMAS layer (the structural tissue beneath the skin) rather than just pulling skin tight, producing natural-looking results that last. Options range from mini facelifts targeting specific areas to full deep-plane facelifts that comprehensively address the mid-face, jowls, and neck. Incisions are typically placed along the hairline and around the ears, healing to become virtually invisible. The procedure takes 3–5 hours under general anesthesia. Results last 7–12 years, though aging continues naturally.
