Facelift Surgery

Ageing process is inevitable, but looking old is not! Facelift surgery, also known as rhitidectomy, reshapes the face and neck to recapture the appearance of youth without that pulled unnatural look.

The Aim

This confidence building procedure effectively renews a youthful appearance to the face, resulting in a more defined profile and a fresh, more pleasing reflection. Your surgeon will firm up the jaw line, smooth out deeper lines and wrinkles across the face and brow and tighten any excess or sagging skin around the neck.

The Procedure

Incisions are mostly hidden beneath the hairline and behind the ears. Through the incisions, the underlying tissues are expertly re-modelled and re-draped. Surgery lasts around three hours under general anaesthesia. It requires a one or two night stay in hospital.

The Recovery

Swelling and bruising is normal.

The Aftercare

Stitches are removed after 7 and 14 days. During this period you will be advised to refrain from physical activity. Afterwards, normal daily activities can be resumed.
