Facelift: Turning Back the Hands of Time
As time passes, aging gradually causes the face to sag, skin elasticity to decrease, and fine wrinkles to appear—signs of the years gone by.
Procedures such as facelifts, thread lifts, and brow lifts can help lift sagging skin, turning back the clock to give your face a more youthful appearance.
Since the degree of sagging varies from person to person, it’s important to have thorough consultation with a specialist to design a personalized lifting plan tailored to each individual’s facial features.
Facial contouring surgery Procedure
The SMAS layer is the tissue that connects the facial skin to the underlying muscle layer. As we age, the SMAS layer sags or loosens, causing the facial skin to droop and wrinkles to form.
If only the skin is lifted, the sagging SMAS layer will cause the skin to sag again. By lifting the SMAS layer as well, the effects of the procedure can last for about 10 to 20 years.
Facelift surgery typically involves precise incisions along the hairline in front of and behind the ears. This allows the skin to be tightened and sagging areas to be removed, leaving minimal visible scarring after surgery.

Facial Contouring Surgery: Key Information
Facelift surgery is a procedure that addresses sagging skin around the mouth and jawline caused by aging, which leads to marionette lines or deep nasolabial folds. Through an incision in front of the ear, the stretched skin tissue and fascia are tightened to improve overall facial sagging and wrinkles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a facelift procedure?
A facelift is a surgical procedure aimed at lifting sagging skin and reducing wrinkles to achieve a more youthful facial appearance. It involves precise incisions along the hairline in front of and behind the ears, allowing the skin to be tightened and excess areas to be removed, resulting in minimal visible scarring.
How does the SMAS layer affect facelift results?
The SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer connects the facial skin to the underlying muscle. As we age, this layer sags, causing the skin to droop and wrinkles to form. Lifting the SMAS layer during a facelift provides a firmer lift and longer-lasting results, typically lasting about 10 to 20 years.
What is the recovery time after a facelift?
The recovery period after a facelift is approximately 7 to 10 days. Stitch removal is typically done after 7 days, and hospitalization is not required. The procedure is performed under general or local anesthesia and takes around 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Who is an ideal candidate for a facelift?
Ideal candidates for a facelift include individuals with deep fine lines, significantly reduced skin elasticity, deep nasolabial folds, severe skin sagging due to aging, facial sagging after jaw or facial contouring surgery, or those who have not seen noticeable results from previous lifting procedures.
