Regain youthfulness with long-lasting contours at The Centre for Personal Surgery
Facelift Surgery by Experts for Youthful Contours
What is a Facelift?
Rhytidectomy (facelift) is a cosmetic procedure to reverse the signs of aging. It aims at treating:
Sagging facial skin (cheeks and jaw).
Wrinkles and fold around the nose and mouth.
Deflation, descending.
The procedure is ideal for adults who want to regain their youthful appearance. It tightens the facial tissues and removes excess skin to restore a contoured face. For patients looking to make their drooping cheeks disappear, a facelift can lift their natural beauty and self-confidence.
Ideal Candidate for Facelift
A facelift is ideal for aging individuals who want to look presentable and confident with a youthful face. However, they must confirm checking several factors before planning to go for the surgery. Verify if you have any of these signs:
You have visible signs of aging, like wrinkles and skin sagging.
You have lost the youthful glow and volume on your face.
You have jowls or loose skin around your neck.
You are a healthy individual.
You have realistic goals and expectations of the procedure.
Types of Facelift Procedures
The procedure of facelifts is tailored based on the patient’s unique requirements. While different approaches are available to get back youthful skin, all methods aim at providing natural-looking results. At The Centre for Personal Surgery, we offer three different facelift options:
-
Traditional Facelift
The superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) technique or traditional facelift is useful in treating extensive areas where the signs of aging are either moderate or developing. It is effective in treating primarily the mid-face and neck. It is a complex procedure compared to a mini facelift and takes more time to recover.
-
Mini Facelift
This is a less invasive technique for treating mild signs of aging. A mini facelift requires smaller incisions along the hairline to tighten deep facial tissues. The procedure helps lift the cheeks and tighten the structural tissues around them to give them a youthful appearance. People who want to delay the more evident signs of aging may prefer a mini facelift.
-
Neck Lift
Platysmaplasty, or neck lift surgery, helps aging people achieve a redefined jawline and a smoother, slimmer, and younger neck. The procedure tightens the loose tissues by targeting double chin, horizontal neck bands, turtle neck, and wrinkles. Based on the extent of the area to be treated, there are two techniques for neck lift surgery: a deep plane neck lift and a mini neck lift.

Recovery and Aftercare for Facelift Procedure
Each patient may require less or more time to heal, depending on individual progress. However, it may take up to six weeks, in general, to return to your routine. Recovering from a facelift surgery includes:
-
1st Few Days Post-Procedure
The patient must rest for up to a week after the surgery. They must avoid much movement, take the prescribed medicines, and wear compression garments for support.
-
Week 1-2
Between weeks 1 and 2, the patient can resume light activities like slow walking. However, the patient must continue wearing the compression garments to ensure the facial tissues recover well.
-
Weeks 2-6
From week 2 to week 6, the patient can gradually increase their activity level. However, they should avoid extreme physical activities. During this phase, patients might notice healing as the swelling reduces.
-
Week 6 and Beyond
By week 6, the healing is almost done, and patients can return to their daily schedules. The facelift results become more visible, making you look younger.
Facelift Results: What to Expect
People undergoing facelift procedure can expect the results to show at least six months later. Their faces will look more radiant, wrinkle-free, and toned. The procedure helps address premature aging signs or make a person look younger and more attractive. At The Centre for Personal Surgery, we ensure you receive the results you had expected.
