Full Facelift Surgery Restoring Youthfulness Across the Entire Face

What is a Full Facelift?

A Full Facelift, also known as a comprehensive facelift, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and tighten both the skin and underlying muscle layers across the entire face – from the temples, cheeks, and jawline to the neck. It is most suitable for patients aged 45–60+ years who present with significant skin laxity, deep wrinkles, sagging jowls, or excess skin around the neck.

Unlike a Mini Facelift, which addresses only localized concerns, a Full Facelift provides comprehensive rejuvenation, offering more dramatic and longer-lasting results.

How is a Full Facelift Performed?

How is a Full Facelift Performed?

  1. Incision Placement
    Incisions are carefully made along the hairline, around the ears, and behind the ears. In some cases, a small incision may also be placed under the chin for additional neck tightening.
  2. Lifting the SMAS Layer
    The surgeon lifts and repositions the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System), which is the structural support layer beneath the skin, correcting sagging from its root cause.
  3. Removing Excess Skin
    Surplus skin is trimmed precisely, leaving the face smoother, tighter, and more youthful.
  4. Meticulous Suturing
    Stitches are carefully hidden within the hairline and natural creases around the ears, making scars nearly invisible.
  5. Postoperative Care
    A compression garment is applied to minimize swelling, and close monitoring ensures optimal recovery
