Facial Procedures
Facelift
Addressing sagging skin and soft tissue in the lower face and neck
Overview
A facelift (rhytidectomy) repositions and tightens the deeper soft tissues of the face and removes excess skin, softening jowls, deep folds, and loose skin along the jawline and neck.
It is typically considered by patients whose concerns go beyond what non-surgical treatments can address, and is often combined with neck lift or eyelid surgery for a more complete result.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do facelift results last?
Results commonly last 8–10 years or longer, though the natural ageing process continues.
Will I look 'overdone'?
The goal of a well-planned facelift is a natural, refreshed appearance rather than an overly tightened look.
Can it be combined with other procedures?
Yes — blepharoplasty, neck lift, and fat grafting are commonly combined with a facelift for a more complete result.
