Facelift Surgery is an aesthetic procedure performed to help lift and tighten the loose or aging facial skin, resulting in a more contoured and youthful appearance. There are separate areas for the treatment, depending on your skin condition.

Facelift Surgery often works by making an incision from the ear area up into the hairline to remove the excess skin that causes loose and saggy conditions on the face. The skin will then be tightened up by pulling in an upwards direction and stitched; this helps to restore the firm appearance and make you look younger.

At our affiliated hospital, the options for facelifting treatment are as follow:

· Full Face Lift
Includes every part of the face as well as neck

· Forehead Lift
For the forehead wrinkles and also the frown lines between the brows

· Mid-Face Lift
Sometimes known as cheek lift; tightens the skin from the upper mouth to the eye area

· Temporal Lift
Known as brow lift; improves the baggy upper eyelid skin and elevates the brows for a more youthful look

1. Consultation and examination of the skin condition

3. Incision will be made in desired areas

Q1: What is the best age to have a facelift?
A1: What matters is appearance and not age. It is a question of how much a person is bothered by something that can be fixed with a facelift. The oldest age is limited only by the health of a patient.

Q2: How much younger will a facelift make me look?
A2: A study showed a portfolio of photographs of a group of patients before a facelift and another portfolio of photographs to groups of observers, in which both groups of patients have the same age. On average, the facelift patients were judged to be 9 years younger.

Q3: Can laser treatments give me facelift results?
A3: Although lasers can remove broken capillaries and brown spots as well as flatten wrinkles, they do not tighten skin as much as a facelift does. In addition, lasers do not actually lift sagging tissue on the inside and cannot tighten necks.

Q4: Will a facelift remove my wrinkles?
A4: A facelift does not remove wrinkles, as it is more about lifting the skin. Fortunately, your wrinkles will look better due to the tightening of your skin.

Q5: Are there non-surgical ways to tighten or lift skin?
A5: Ultherapy, Thermage, and HIFU are all good alternatives, but are not permanent like a facelift.
