Surgical Face Lift – EXTRA
What Is a Surgical Face Lift?
A Surgical Face Lift (Rhytidectomy) is a cosmetic procedure that addresses moderate to severe facial ageing by tightening facial muscles, repositioning deeper tissues, and removing excess skin. Unlike non-surgical treatments, a face lift provides long-lasting rejuvenation that restores smoother contours around the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
The procedure is carefully tailored to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals, delivering natural, balanced results without creating an over-tightened appearance. It is often combined with complementary procedures such as eyelid surgery, neck lift, or fat grafting for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
A Surgical Face Lift may be suitable if you have:
- Sagging cheeks or mid-face
- Deep folds around the nose and mouth
- Loose skin along the jawline
- Jowls or loss of facial definition
- Excess skin on the neck
- Good overall health and realistic expectations
Your surgeon will evaluate your skin quality, facial structure, and medical history to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

Your Treatment Journey
Your consultation includes a detailed facial evaluation, discussion of your concerns, medical history review, and treatment planning. Your surgeon explains the expected results, recovery process, and answers any questions before surgery.
A personalized surgical plan is created based on your facial anatomy and desired outcome. Pre-operative instructions are provided to help you prepare safely for your procedure.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia using advanced surgical techniques. Small, carefully placed incisions are usually hidden around the ears and hairline to minimize visible scarring while lifting facial tissues and removing excess skin.
Following surgery, regular follow-up appointments ensure proper healing and monitor your progress. Our team provides detailed aftercare guidance to support a smooth recovery and optimal long-term results.
Benefits of a Surgical Face Lift

A refreshed appearance often helps patients feel more confident in both personal and professional settings.
Recovery
Recovery after a Surgical Face Lift is a gradual process, with most patients experiencing mild swelling, bruising, and a feeling of tightness during the first one to two weeks. These are normal parts of the healing process and will steadily improve over time. Most individuals can return to light daily activities within 10 to 14 days, although strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided until cleared by your surgeon.
Throughout your recovery, our medical team will provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing. Caring for your incisions, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and following your surgeon’s recommendations will help minimize downtime and support a smooth recovery, allowing you to achieve the best possible long-term outcome.
Results
A Surgical Face Lift restores youthful facial contours by lifting sagging tissues, smoothing deep folds, and improving definition along the jawline and neck. As swelling gradually subsides, your results will become increasingly visible, revealing a refreshed, natural-looking appearance that enhances your facial features while preserving your unique expressions.
The final results typically develop over the course of several months as healing progresses. With a healthy lifestyle, proper skincare, and sun protection, the rejuvenating effects of your face lift can last for many years. While the natural ageing process continues, patients often enjoy a significantly younger and more confident appearance long after the procedure.
