FACE LIFT / RHYTIDECTOMY – REVERSE THE SIGNS OF AGEING
A Facelift, medically known as Rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and tighten sagging facial tissues, resulting in a more youthful, refreshed appearance. It targets signs of aging in the mid-face, jawline, and neck by removing excess skin, tightening muscles, and repositioning fat.
The goal is not to look different, but to look 10–15 years younger and naturally refreshed.
What Does a Face Lift Treat?
- Loose, sagging skin around the cheeks and jawline
- Deep nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Jowls and loss of jaw definition
- Sagging neck skin or “turkey neck”
- Wrinkling or skin laxity due to aging, sun damage, or weight loss
Types of Face Lift Procedures
- Traditional Face Lift (Full Rhytidectomy)
- Involves lifting deeper tissues and muscles (SMAS layer)
- Removes excess skin and repositions fat
- Incisions are typically hidden along the hairline and ears
- Mini Face Lift
- Less invasive with shorter incisions
- Ideal for early signs of aging and minimal sagging
- Shorter recovery time
- Mid-Face Lift
- Focuses on lifting the cheeks and under-eye area
- Improves volume and contour of the midface
- Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty)
- Often combined with facelift
- Removes neck bands and sagging skin
- Endoscopic or SMAS Facelift
- Uses small cameras and hidden incisions
- Precision lifting of deeper facial structures
Key Benefits of a Face Lift
- Tightens sagging facial skin
- Restores youthful contours to cheeks and jaw
- Reduces wrinkles and deep lines
- Removes jowls and double chin appearance
- Boosts self-confidence
- Results last 7–12 years depending on lifestyle and skin care
- Can be combined with brow lift, eyelid surgery, or fat grafting
The Best Candidates for Face Lifts
You may be an ideal candidate if you:
- Are in your 40s to 70s with visible facial aging
- Have skin laxity, jowls, or deep wrinkles
- Want long-lasting, natural-looking facial rejuvenation
- Are in good overall health (no major medical conditions)
- Do not smoke (or can quit before and after surgery)
- Have realistic expectations — a facelift rejuvenates but does not “freeze” your face
Tip: The earlier you intervene (mid-40s to early 50s), the more natural and subtle your result will look.
