A facelift is a surgical procedure to correct the sagging and wrinkles that usually occur during the aging process. The skin on the face and neck is lifted, tightened and excess tissue is removed. It aims to achieve a younger and fresher appearance as a result. A facelift can be performed to involve the eyebrows, cheeks, under the chin, and neck.

Facelift can be performed under general anesthesia or with a combination of local anesthesia and sedation. This may vary according to the extent of the surgical intervention and the patient’s preferences.

The recovery process varies depending on individual differences, but generally swelling and bruising may occur in the first few days. Full recovery may take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. It is important to follow your surgeon’s recommendations to minimize swelling and achieve the best results.
