Full Facelift Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation

What Is a Full Facelift?

A Full Facelift is a surgical procedure designed to tighten both the skin and deeper muscle layers of the entire face. It addresses aging signs from the temples, cheeks, jawline, down to the neck. This technique is most suitable for patients aged 45–60 and above who experience visible sagging, deep wrinkles, nasolabial folds, loss of jawline definition, or excess skin around the neck.

Unlike a Mini Facelift, which targets only specific areas, the Full Facelift provides comprehensive and long-lasting results across the entire face.

How Is a Full Facelift Performed?

  1. Incision Placement
    Incisions are carefully made along the hairline, at the temples, around the ears, and extending behind the ears. In some cases, a small incision under the chin is added to address neck laxity.
  2. SMAS Layer Adjustment
    The SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) – the deeper muscle and connective tissue layer that supports the face – is lifted and repositioned to correct sagging at its source.
  3. Removal of Excess Skin
    Excess skin is trimmed and smoothed for a firm, youthful appearance.
  4. Meticulous Suturing
    Incisions are closed with fine, precise sutures hidden along the hairline and natural ear folds, minimizing visible scars.
  5. Post-Surgery Care
    A supportive compression garment is applied to reduce swelling, and patients are closely monitored by the surgeon.
