Today, a skilled plastic surgeon using the latest in surgical techniques can perform a facelift and the results can be wonderfully natural looking. You will look years younger, but with such subtle, personalized rejuvenation that the people you meet will not suspect that you have had plastic surgery.
One of the reasons facelifts today are so successful is that the surgery is tailored to the needs of the patient. Different types of facial aging require different types of facial treatment to achieve a naturally youthful appearance.
Facelifts In Dubai
Facelifts in Dubai utilize a range of surgical techniques designed to treat varying degrees of facial aging and to achieve a look of natural rejuvenation. Facelift surgery is not a cookie cutter procedure, but one that can be customized to the patient’s age, quality of skin, facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. The mini facelift is a good option for those with minor skin laxity and early signs of aging. The traditional facelift is better for more advanced sagging in the cheeks, jawline and neck. A deep plane or SMAS facelift may also be appropriate for some patients. This procedure involves repositioning the deeper layers of tissue in the face to create results that last longer and look more natural. A facelift can be combined with complementary procedures such as neck lift surgery, eyelid surgery, brow lift, or facial fat grafting to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation, depending on individual needs. Recovery time varies by technique but most patients experience a gradual improvement as swelling and bruising subside. The main goal of a facelift is to restore youthful facial contours, not in a too-tight way, but in a way that preserves natural facial expressions. During a personalized consultation we can decide which facelift technique is the most appropriate for you to achieve balanced, refreshed and long lasting results.
Here’s a breakdown of the different types of facelifts, and a little info about how they are performed.
Full or “Standard” Facelift
A Full or “Standard” Facelift addresses moderate to advanced aging changes from the neck and chin upward through the mid-face. It eliminates jowls and drooping skin under the chin, defines the jawline, smoothes facial folds around the mouth and provides a more youthful look to the face and neck. A full facelift involves incisions along the hairline – down from the temples, in the natural folds around the front of your ear, to the base of your hair. Sometimes another incision is made in the natural skin crease under the chin. A full facelift reshapes tissue from within, starting with the underlying muscles and trimming excess skin to tighten, lift and refine facial features. This is a deep tissue approach, working with the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) and that is what is meant when you read about a “SMAS” facelift.
Mini Facelift In Dubai
A Mini facelift in Dubai corrects moderate signs of aging in the lower face with smaller incisions. It diminishes sagging jowls and enhances the definition of the jawline. Mini facelifts also use the SMAS technique to lift and reposition tissue, beginning with the muscle underneath. A mini facelift uses shorter incisions around the ears and takes less time. The smaller cuts allow the surgeon access to the underlying muscle and tissue to reshape it, but they do not allow for the removal of any excess skin.

Complementary Procedures
Three other plastic surgery procedures are designed to make the neck, eyes, and upper part of the face look younger. Any of these can be combined with a facelift for more complete facial refreshment.
- A Neck lift tightens and smooths skin on your neck to give you a more youthful look. If you have loose skin or muscle banding on your neck, some people choose to have a neck lift in addition to their facelift. If your concerns about aging are limited to the tissue below your chin — like the hanging skin of a “turkey wattle”, you may want a neck lift instead of a face lift.
- A Brow lift, or forehead lift, raises the line of the eyebrows and smooths creases in the forehead. A brow lift can give you a more alert, open expression and a more youthful face. The procedure can also enhance the natural arch of the eyebrows which can be an attractive enhancement in women.
- An eyelid lift can improve drooping eyelids that can make you look tired even when you’re fully alert and can interfere with your field of vision.
Liposuction and fat grafting are non-surgical and minimally invasive procedures that can be combined with a facelift to enhance results.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do Facelift Results Typically Last?
How long the effects of a facelift last depends on the type of surgery you had, the quality of your skin, how you live your life, and how fast you age naturally. Mini facelifts usually give results that last between 6 and 8 years, so they are a good choice for people who are showing mild to moderate signs of aging. Deep plane facelifts usually give the best results, with results that can last 12 to 16 years because they reposition the deeper facial structures instead of just tightening the skin. SMAS facelifts usually give results that last 8 to 12 years.
What Is The Recovery Time For Different Types Of Facelifts?
Recovery times depend on the type of facelift that was done. Mini facelifts usually require about a week of recovery time, but patients can do light activities again pretty quickly. After a SMAS facelift, most people need two to three weeks of recovery time before their swelling and bruises get a lot better. Most people who have had a deep plane facelift need three to four weeks of recovery time before they feel ready to go back to social activities. Over the next few months, they will be fully healed.
Am I Too Young Or Too Old For A Facelift?
There is no set age at which someone can get a facelift. Instead, candidacy is based on the shape of the face, how loose the skin is, the person’s overall health, and the amount of aging in the face. Some people in their late 31s or early 41s can benefit from a mini-facelift. Healthy people in their 61s or 71s can also get great results from more advanced facelift procedures that look natural.
Will My Facelift Look Natural?
Yes. When a modern facelift is done by an experienced plastic surgeon, the results are meant to look natural instead of too tight or “pulled.” Modern techniques, like the deep plane facelift, lift and reposition the deeper tissues of the face while keeping the natural expressions and contours of a young face.
Can A Facelift Be Combined With Other Procedures?
Yes. Facelifts are often combined with other procedures, like eyelid surgery, brow lifts, neck lifts, or fat transfer to the face, to make the face look younger all around. Based on the shape of your face, your concerns about aging, and your aesthetic goals, your surgeon will suggest the best combination to give you balanced, harmonious, and long-lasting results.
