What is Facelift?
A facelift, medically known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to create a more youthful appearance in the face. It primarily addresses the mid-to-lower face and neck, correcting sagging skin, deep wrinkles, the loss of facial volume, and jowls along the jawline. The goal is not to change your fundamental appearance, but to turn back the clock by repositioning underlying tissues and removing excess skin for a smoother, more defined contour.
Before & After
Who is it for?
A facelift is an excellent option for healthy men and women who are looking to address one or more of the following concerns: Significant sagging in the mid-face region. Deep creases below the lower eyelids and along the nose extending to the corner of the mouth (nasolabial folds). Loss of muscle tone in the lower face, which may create “jowls.” A combination of loose skin and excess fatty deposits under the chin and jaw that can create a “double chin” or “turkey neck.” Individuals with good skin elasticity and strong bone structure who have realistic expectations for improvement, not perfection.
Benefits of the Procedure
Choosing a facelift offers significant aesthetic and psychological benefits: Aesthetic Gains: Achieves a naturally youthful and rested appearance, a more defined jawline, smoother skin, and a significant reduction in deep wrinkles and sagging. Psychological Gains: Boosts self-esteem and confidence by aligning your outward appearance with your inner sense of vitality. Long-Term Effects: While it doesn’t stop the aging process, the results are long-lasting, helping you look years younger for a decade or more.
How is it Done?
Your facelift journey with Redo is meticulously planned. The procedure typically involves: Consultation & Planning: An in-depth virtual consultation to discuss your goals and a thorough pre-operative assessment upon arrival. Anesthesia: For your comfort and safety, facelifts are usually performed under general anesthesia. Surgical Technique: Our hand-selected surgeons are experts in advanced techniques like the Deep Plane facelift, which repositions the deeper layers of facial muscles (the SMAS) for more natural and durable results. Incisions are carefully placed within the hairline and natural contours of the face and ear to minimize visible scarring. Duration: A facelift procedure typically takes between 3 to 5 hours, depending on the complexity and techniques used.
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery is a crucial part of your journey, fully managed by the Redo team. First 48 Hours: You will be monitored in our partner hospital. Swelling and bruising are expected. Week 1: You’ll rest in your recovery-friendly hotel with daily nurse visits. Stitches may be removed around day 7-10. Weeks 2-4: Most patients feel comfortable returning to non-strenuous daily activities and work. Swelling and bruising will significantly subside. Aftercare: We provide a complete aftercare kit and clear instructions. Key recommendations include keeping your head elevated, avoiding strenuous exercise for 4-6 weeks, and protecting your skin from the sun.
