A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is the cosmetic surgical procedure in which facial tissue is treated using various techniques to give a patient a more youthful, less “worn-out” look that comes with age and skin problems. Facelift in Dubai and Abu Dhabi can be used to trim and tighten skin while removing fat pockets if necessary. Whereas dermal fillers and implants can enhance the facial structure, skin quality can be increased using a laser or chemical peels.

Before & After Results

The results of facelift surgery are permanent, as your facial tissues will always be tighter. No guarantee is given, as the results may vary from person to person.





The facelift procedure isn’t a very fussy technique but it requires the patient to be eligible for it since everyone is not suitable for a face-lift. Dubai cosmetic surgery considers ideal candidates for a facelift in Dubai as those who:

Have good skin elasticity irrelevant of age and a strong bone structure.

Have lots of loose skin on their faces resulting in wrinkles or a droopy look.

They have kept themselves as close as possible to a healthy weight and are tested negative for skin diseases.

Goals

The reader must understand that facelift is not a cure for a disease but a beautification process. It can boost self-esteem and physical appearance by tightening the skin hence achieving a younger more beautiful look. Most patients are within 40-70 years of age but facelifts can also be performed on younger patients. Main goals of a facelift in Dubai are:

To remove sagging skin and fat deposits around the jaws and cheeks known as jowls

Excess fat around the chin and neck area are also trimmed off.

Wrinkles beside the mouth, eyes and on the forehead are smoothed out by tightening the skin.

Techniques

By classifying facelifts into two main categories for better understanding we get invasive procedures and non-invasive procedures of facelift surgery in Dubai. The surgeon will determine exactly how much of each kind is necessary to deliver the look you wish to have.

Non Surgical Facelift: your surgeon will make use of injectables and/or derma fillers to tighten skin and give you a more youthful appearance. This is a commonly known remedy for wrinkles. But for loose skin, excess fat and facial folds various degrees of invasive surgery used.

Invasive: Incisions are made above the hairline of your forehead all the way down under your jaws running right behind the ears and even down the chin. The surgeon will peel back the skin and tighten the layer of underlying facial muscles while excess fat is removed. After the tissues of the face are tightened, excess skin is trimmed off.

Pre-op preparation

Simple rules to make your surgery less complicated and the recovery process easier are below:

Wear loose comfortable button-down shirts on and after the day of surgery. This is to prevent pulling the cloth over your face.

Stop smoking and your intake of alcohol or other drugs that inhibit healing such as aspirin, herbal supplements, and anti-inflammatory medicines.

Set up a recovery room at home that is well supplied with ointments, clean gauze, napkins, loose button-down clothes, pillows, ice bags (for swellings) and a thermometer.

Arrange for someone to pick you up from the clinic on the day of the clinic.

Procedure

Facelift in Dubai is performed on an outpatient basis beginning with the administration of local anesthesia with intravenous sedation, we prefer to use general anesthesia since it relaxes facial muscles a lot more. The total time for surgery could anywhere from 2 to 6 hours.

Incisions are made afterward varying in extent from full facelift to mini facelift where incisions are only made behind the ears and jaws in the hairline.

Once incisions have been made, your plastic surgeon will carefully lift the skin to tighten the muscles and tissues below. Finally, the excess skin is removed along with fat to perfect the contours of the face.

Once the procedure is over, your plastic surgeon will adjust the skin and close the incisions using stitches or medical staples.
