The type and size of the implants depends on your aesthetic goals and as recommended by the surgeon after your initial consultation. For facial fat grafting, excess fat is taken out from another part of the body, treated and grafted on the face to enhance the facial features.

Facelift can be performed surgically and non-surgically. Non-surgical facelift procedures include Dermal fillers, Botox and Threads. . However non-surgical methods cannot achieve the same results and are only temporary.

There are typically three types of Facelift, including:

Neck lift is a Day- case procedure, done under local or general anaesthesia. An incision is made in the hairline along the sideburn toward the end of posterior hair at the back of the ear. Through the incision, excess fat and tissues are removed or repositioned in the jowls and neck. Platysma muscle is tightened and the extra skin is lifted and draped over the uplifted contours. Extra skin is removed and the incision is closed using sutures or surgical tape. In some cases, another incision under the chin might be done by the surgeon to perform liposuction in the area and for muscle repair. This procedure is known as traditional neck lift.

How Is Recovery After Facelift Surgery?
