As we age, the skin on the face and neck loosens, creating sagging and wrinkles. A cervico-facial lift restores youthful contours by repositioning skin and tissues.
Facelift goals
Facelift is a surgical procedure aimed to reduce signs of aging by lifting and repositioning the skin and underlying tissues of the face and neck.

FAQ
Is a facelift permanent?
The results of a facelift are long-lasting, though the natural aging process will continue. Typically, results last between 8-10 years, depending on individual factors.
How long is the recovery time after a facelift?
Most patients take 1-2 weeks off from work, but full recovery may take several weeks. Swelling and bruising are common during the first few days but will gradually subside.
Will I have visible scars after a facelift?
Incisions are strategically placed along the hairline, behind the ears, and under the chin, making any visible scarring minimal and well-hidden. Scars typically fade over time.
Is the procedure painful?
Discomfort is usually mild and can be managed with prescribed pain medications. Most patients report feeling tightness or soreness rather than significant pain.
Can I combine a facelift with other procedures?
Yes, many patients choose to combine a facelift with other procedures, such as eyelid surgery or a brow lift, for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
When will I see the final results?
While some results are visible immediately, final results can take several months as swelling subsides and the tissues settle into their new position.
