Facelift & Mid-Face Lift Surgery

Surgical facelift and cheek lift by a specialist plastic surgeon, addressing facial sagging, jowls, and volume loss to restore a naturally refreshed appearance. Performed at a MOH-accredited day surgery centre.

Dr Shenthilkumar Naidu performs facelifts and mid-face lifts at Shens Clinic's MOH-accredited day surgery centre, targeting the signs of facial ageing that are not correctable with non-surgical interventions alone. The traditional facelift (rhytidectomy) addresses excess skin laxity, deep jowling, and loss of jawline definition by repositioning the underlying SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer as well as resecting redundant skin. The mid-face lift specifically targets descent of the malar fat pad and cheek tissue, restoring volume to the upper cheek area while improving the nasolabial fold and lower eyelid junction. Techniques are selected based on individual anatomy during the pre-operative consultation, and may include a short-scar or SMAS-based approach to minimise visible scarring while maximising structural longevity of results. Fat grafting can be combined with facelift surgery where additional volume restoration is desired, using the patient's own fat harvested via VASER lipo from a minor donor site. All procedures are performed under general anaesthesia or monitored anaesthesia care (MAC) at the clinic's accredited facility. Post-operative care includes wound monitoring, scar management, and individualised instructions for the 2–3 week recovery period. Dr Naidu's Korean training heritage informs an aesthetic that emphasises natural rejuvenation over operated appearance — a priority particularly valued by Asian patients seeking harmonious results.
