Before & After Results
Full Facelift Surgery
Most of the time, general anesthesia is preferred for Full Facelift Surgery, but it can also be performed under local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the patient’s needs and the surgeon’s recommendations.
Incision and Procedure:
In a typical Full Facelift Surgery, the surgeon begins by making an incision within the hairline just above the ear. The incision continues down along the front edge of the ear, around the earlobe, and then extends behind the ear into the hairline. This placement ensures that scars are discreet and well-hidden once healed. The same incision pattern is repeated on the other side of the face.
The surgeon then carefully lifts the skin in the subcutaneous plane, up to the cheek (including the nasolabial fold), below the chin, and around the neck. The SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) muscle layer is also tightened and repositioned to restore a more youthful contour and firmness to the face. Afterward, the skin is repositioned, and the incisions are sutured to complete the procedure.
Medications and Precautions:
Patients should avoid medications that can affect blood clotting, such as aspirin, non-aspirin pain relievers, and female hormones before the surgery. These medications can increase the risk of bleeding during and after the procedure. It is crucial to follow the surgeon’s instructions regarding medication use before surgery to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
Ageing signs may be countered and facial appearance may be greatly improved by a cosmetic procedure called face lift surgery. The procedure includes surgical re-positioning of some skin tissues and muscle tissues in the areas of neck and face. The procedure improves the skin that has sagged or loosened due to gravity with age. Face lift surgery offer little benefit to the wrinkles present around eyes and mouth. Entire face correction may require a series of procedures including dermabrasion, chemical peel or blepharoplasty.
Major Service of FaceLifting
Post-Op Care
Bandage & Medication: A pressure bandage is applied post-op, and antibiotics are given during and after the surgery to prevent infection.
Recovery Room: Patients are monitored in the recovery room for a few hours to check for any bleeding.
Discharge: Typically, patients are discharged after 24 hours; if the surgery is done under local anesthesia, same-day discharge is possible.
Swelling Management: Ice packs for the first few days can reduce swelling and minimize the risk of hematoma.
Stitch Removal: Stitches are usually removed after 5 days, with the remaining sutures removed 7-10 days later.
Return to Work: Most patients return to work and limited activities within 2 weeks.
Complications
Hematoma: A common complication, often developing within 48 hours. It may require reopening stitches to stop the bleeding.
Nerve Damage: Can affect facial expressions, such as smile or eyebrow movement, but typically heals within 2-6 months.
Bruising & Swelling: Normal post-surgery, but bruising typically fades within a few weeks.
Other Risks: Includes hair loss near incisions, scarring, and infection.
Recovery
Swelling Duration: Full swelling may last 6-8 weeks, with bruising and swelling being common in the initial stages.
Midface Lift (SOOF Lift): Targets cheek tissues to reduce nasolabial folds, tear trough hollowness, and malar bags.
Return to Work: Most patients are back to work in 10-14 days, though some swelling may persist.
Complete Recovery: Full recovery can take up to 3 months for swelling and bruising to fully subside.
Advantages of Midface Lift
Natural Look: Unlike a traditional facelift that pulls tissues toward the ears, the midface lift restores the cheek’s youthful contour and lifts sagging cheeks without affecting the jowls.
SOOF Lift
A less aggressive procedure targeting a smaller fat pad in the upper cheek, often used in conjunction with blepharoplasty.
Feather Lift
Threads are used to lift the midface, a less invasive option compared to full surgery.
Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty)
Procedure: Involves tightening loose skin and muscles around the neck and jawline. Can be combined with a facelift for enhanced results.
Recovery: Swelling and bruising expected. A special pressure garment is worn for 1 week. Return to work within 1-2 weeks; full activity resumes after 1 month.
Complications: Includes scarring, which fades over time, and possible fluid accumulation or infection.

FAQ
A Full Facelift Surgery is a comprehensive procedure that targets multiple areas of the face, including the forehead, cheeks, jawline, and neck. It involves lifting and tightening the skin, muscles, and underlying tissue to reduce signs of aging, such as sagging, wrinkles, and loss of volume, resulting in a youthful, refreshed appearance.
Most patients undergo general anesthesia during Full Facelift Surgery to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. However, it can also be performed under local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the patient’s preference and the surgeon’s recommendations.
Recovery time varies by individual, but most patients can expect some swelling and bruising for up to 2 weeks. While some people can return to work within 10-14 days, full recovery and the final results may take several months as swelling fully subsides and the skin settles into its new position.
The incisions for a Full Facelift Surgery are carefully made within the hairline and around the ears, making them well-hidden and difficult to detect once healed. While some scarring is inevitable, it typically fades significantly over time and is concealed in natural skin folds.
The results of a Full Facelift Surgery can last anywhere from 7 to 10 years, depending on factors like age, skin type, lifestyle, and how well you care for your skin after surgery. While it doesn’t stop the aging process, it significantly delays the appearance of aging and maintains a youthful, refreshed look for years.
