About the procedure
A facelift repositions facial tissues and, in some cases, tissues of the neck. It can address laxity and changes in contour, but does not by itself resolve every change in skin texture or volume.
Your consultation
The consultation distinguishes excess skin, tissue descent and volume loss. The surgeon discusses the areas that concern you, scar placement and whether complementary procedures are relevant.
What to expect
- Medical assessment, discussion of options and agreement on a plan.
- Repositioning of tissues and adjustment of skin using the technique selected after assessment.
- Aftercare and follow-up adapted to the healing process.
Recovery and follow-up
Swelling, bruising and tightness evolve gradually. Follow-up monitors healing, while the return to activities is adapted to the operation performed.
What to consider
Ageing continues after surgery. Scars, asymmetry and changes in sensation or movement need discussion before deciding.

Do a facelift and fillers do the same thing?
No. A facelift repositions tissues, while fillers add volume in selected areas. The choice depends on the concern identified.
Does the whole face need surgery?
Not automatically. A plan can focus on particular areas and is developed after considering the face as a whole.
Discuss the cost before treatment.
Ask for an estimate for your case and clarify what is included: consultations, the procedure, investigations and follow-up visits. The plan and final cost are agreed after assessment.
