Facelift
The treatment
A facelift is surgery that repositions deeper facial tissues and removes excess skin to address sagging in the lower face and jawline.
Concerns it may address
- Jowls and loss of jawline definition
- Loose skin on the neck
- Deep folds in the lower face
Who it may suit
A facelift may suit adults with moderate to significant sagging who are in good health and understand the recovery involved.
- Sagging that non-surgical treatments cannot address
- Non-smoker, or willing to stop
When it may not be suitable
- Health conditions that increase surgical or anaesthetic risk
- Smoking that cannot be stopped before and after surgery
- Expectations surgery cannot realistically meet; a surgeon may recommend not proceeding
Consultation and assessment
Your first appointment is a consultation only. You will have time to consider everything before deciding.
Preparing for your consultation
- What bothers you most when you look in the mirror
- Medicines and supplements, including blood thinners
- Work and family commitments during recovery
- Any previous facial surgery or treatments
Your goals
What you would like to change, and why it matters to you.
Surgical assessment
An examination and a full review of your health, medicines and previous procedures.
A considered decision
If surgery is appropriate, the procedure, risks, recovery and alternatives are explained, with no pressure to proceed.
What to expect
Your surgeon assesses skin quality, facial structure and the degree of sagging, and explains whether a facelift or another approach may suit you. Anaesthesia, the surgical setting and preparation are explained in detail.
Why plans differ
Skin quality, facial structure and the pattern of ageing differ, so the surgical plan is specific to each face.
Recovery and downtime
Swelling and bruising are expected and settle gradually. Your surgeon will explain aftercare, follow-up appointments and when you can return to normal activities.
Aftercare principles
- Follow your surgeon’s instructions on head position, wound care and activity
- Attend every follow-up appointment
- Contact your surgeon promptly about bleeding, fever or increasing pain
Safety and suitability
Risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, nerve injury and asymmetry. Ageing continues after surgery. All risks are explained before you decide.
All surgery carries risks, which your surgeon will explain in detail at consultation. Suitability depends on your health, anatomy and expectations, and results vary between individuals. A procedure is recommended only when it is considered clinically appropriate.
Questions,
answered.
Will I look different after a facelift?
The aim is a refreshed version of your own features, not a different face. Your surgeon will explain what may be achievable for you.
Where are the scars?
Incisions are usually placed around the ears and hairline. Your surgeon will explain where they would be for your procedure and how they are cared for.
Are there non-surgical alternatives?
Non-surgical treatments may help mild changes but cannot replace surgery for significant sagging. Your consultation covers both.
What happens at a facelift surgery consultation?
Your surgeon discusses your goals, assesses the area and your medical history, and explains whether the treatment is suitable, what it may and may not achieve, and the risks. There is no obligation to proceed.
How much does facelift surgery cost in Dubai?
The cost depends on your individual plan, including the surgical plan, anaesthesia and facility. Fees and treatment options are discussed as part of the consultation.
