Facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is commonly used to describe a surgical procedure to tighten skin, lift and rejuvenate face. The procedure focuses on the lower part of face such as cheek, midface, jawline and chin and can take up to 4 hours to complete with great results.

Facelift is suitable for you if you are looking for the following results:
· A sharper and better defined jaw line
· Improved neck and chin angle
· Less tired look with a more youthful appearance

Facelift helps to improve the most visible aging signs through removing and redistributing excess fat deposits, removing sagging skin and tightening underlying muscles. In order to achieve the best results, facelift is often performed along with neck lifting as well as eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) and browlift.

At our affiliated clinic, there are two types of facelift performed:
· Traditional Facelift
· Spider Web aesthetic (thread facelift)
