Facelift: Subtle Renewal Designed to Enhance Your Facial Contours
Facelift
Over time, it’s common for the face to lose some of its natural firmness. The jawline may start to soften, the cheeks can appear sunken, and the neck may show signs of sagging. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt that your reflection no longer matches how youthful or energised you feel inside, a facelift can help restore balance and harmony to your appearance.
A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, carefully repositions the deeper layers of the face and neck to address sagging and revitalise your appearance. The aim isn’t to change your features, but to help you look like yourself, just more rested, confident, and refreshed.

What Is a Facelift?
A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to lift and reposition sagging facial tissues that have declined with age. During a facelift, the deeper facial layers (known as the SMAS and platysma) are lifted and secured to restore a firmer, smoother contour. Excess skin is then gently redraped, never pulled tight, to maintain a soft and natural expression.
Modern facelift techniques focus on rejuvenation rather than transformation, aiming to enhance the natural structure of your face while preserving your individuality. Depending on your needs, this may involve targeting the mid-face and jawline for refreshed yet authentic results.

Is a Facelift Right for You?
If you’re considering facial rejuvenation, it’s natural to wonder whether surgery is necessary or if non-surgical options may suffice. Here are some indications a facelift could be suitable:
Sagging along the jawline or neck
Deep creases between the nose and mouth
Flattened or drooping cheeks
Loose skin under the chin

Frequently Asked
Questions
Questions
Don’t see an answer to your question?
Will my facelift look obvious or “overdone”?
The goal of a facelift is to help you look like a refreshed version of yourself, not to create a different face. By repositioning tissues and addressing sagging subtly, the result enhances your natural features while maintaining your expressions and personality.
Am I too young or old for a facelift?
Whether a facelift is suitable depends less on age and more on your facial structure, skin quality, and overall health. Many patients in their 40s to 60s consider facial rejuvenation, while younger adults showing early signs of sagging may also benefit from targeted lifting. Every case is assessed individually to create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Will a facelift fix all signs of aging?
A facelift primarily addresses sagging tissues and the contours of the face and neck. Other changes, such as volume loss or skin texture, may require complementary treatments like fillers, skin boosters, or laser therapy. Together, these can create a more refreshed, harmonious result.
How do I know if a facelift is right for me?
The first step is a consultation, where Dr Sandeep will listen to your concerns, assess your facial structure, and discuss options that suit your goals. This collaborative approach ensures your treatment plan feels personalised and realistic, giving you clarity and confidence before any decision is made.
