Once we reach our 30s, our skin begins to lose firmness and becomes more prone to wrinkles. This is due to the deterioration of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the elasticity of skin cells beneath the surface. By the time we reach our 40s, the bone structure and cheek fat—also known as baby fat—noticeably diminish, creating voids beneath the skin and resulting in sagging. At this stage, there is insufficient collagen and elastin to restore the skin to its original state.
For individuals who naturally have less facial fat, sagging may not be as severe. These cases can often be corrected with Botulinum toxin injections to reduce wrinkles or contour the jawline without surgery. Alternatively, energy-based treatments such as HIFU, Ultraformer, Ulthera, or Thermage can deliver more visible results in reducing wrinkles and sagging, with longer-lasting effects than Botulinum toxin.
On the other hand, for those with significant sagging—where the skin can be pulled away with the fingers—non-surgical treatments are no longer effective. In such cases, facelift surgery (Facelift) is the only solution that can truly restore firmness to wrinkled skin. This article will introduce you to facelift surgery—what it is, whether it’s intimidating, and what the procedure involves—to help you make an informed decision before considering other lifting methods.
What Is Facelift Surgery?
Facelift surgery, or “Face Lift,” is a procedure that removes sagging excess skin, tightening the surrounding areas for long-lasting results.
It is ideal for individuals with severe sagging due to aging, where injectables or other lifting methods have failed to deliver results. Facelift surgery provides highly visible outcomes because it involves lifting the SMAS (Superficial Musculo Aponeurotic System) layer of facial structure and removing sagging skin. This restores firmness, reduces wrinkles, and rejuvenates the face with long-lasting effects.
Facelift Surgery Procedure
- Incision is made from the temple to the front of the ear along the hairline
- The SMAS layer is tightened and sutured to a stable anchor point
- The upper skin layer is pulled tight and excess skin is trimmed
- The incision is closed and the scar is concealed
- Forehead: Reduces wrinkles, smooths and tightens the skin
- Brows: Opens up the eyes, corrects drooping eyelids
- Cheeks: Lifts sagging cheeks, softens nasolabial folds
- Neck: Reduces neck wrinkles, tightens and firms the area
