Facelift​​

A facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure which makes loose facial skin more taut and tight to minimize signs of aging on the face and neck​​. During the procedure, the surgeon may also remove excess skin and fat. The aim of this procedure is to give your face a younger, more refreshed, and less tired appearance and to reduce the signs of facial wrinkles. The best candidates for a facelift are people between the ages of 40 and 70, and occasionally older.  

When considering a facelift, your health should not be compromised, and you should be completely sure that you understand the benefits, possible risks, and have realistic expectations about the final outcome.

When to seek expert advice

If you are considering getting a facelift procedure, you should make an appointment with a cosmetic surgeon working with the Section of Dermatology at The Aga Khan University Hospital in order to receive a primary consultation to find out whether or not you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.  At your initial appointment, your consulting doctor may also do a preliminary assessment about the possible outcome of the procedure.  ​​​
