Facelift In Dubai ( Facial Surgery)
Face surgery
Have you ever wished to turn back the clock and say bye to wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs of ageing?
Now it’s possible!
Renew your sense of confidence and timeless beauty through the transformative benefits of a facelift, also known as rhytidectomy.
What is a Facelift?
A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure to reduce the signs of ageing on the face and neck.
This facial surgery involves the removal of excess facial skin, tightening of underlying tissues, and sometimes repositioning facial fat to achieve a more youthful facial contour.
This procedure may be done along with other cosmetic surgeries such as cheek implants, brow lifts, eyelid surgery and forehead enhancement.
Signs of Ageing – Facelift Can Restore
A facelift can help restore and improve several common signs of ageing, including:
- Loose, sagging skin on your face.
- Facial fat that has fallen.
- Drooping skin on your cheeks and jaw.
- Deep fold or crease lines extending from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
- Excess loose skin and fat in your neck, resembling a "double chin."
Note: It’s important to note that while a facelift can deliver substantial improvements, it may not address every facet of facial ageing. Additionally, it cannot treat superficial wrinkles, sun damage, or irregularities in skin colour.
Types of Facelift In Dubai
There are various types of facelift procedures, each designed to address specific concerns and provide different levels of rejuvenation.
Here are some common types of facelift procedures:
- Standard, Traditional or Full Facelift involves removing excess skin, repositioning it, and tightening muscles and connective tissue in the neck and face. Popular among those over 50, it targets a larger area for a comprehensive rejuvenation.
- Mid Facelift targets the skin around the cheeks and eyes, ideal for younger patients with minimal laxity, typically recommended for those in their 30s and 40s.
- Mini Facelift addresses mild to moderate jowls and skin laxity, targeting small areas like the lower cheeks and jaw. It's ideal for younger patients with early signs of ageing, involving the removal of excess fat, skin, and muscles.
- Lower Facelift focuses on the bottom third of the face, addressing jowls, enhancing the jawline, lifting sagging mouth corners, and reducing deep nasolabial folds. Incisions are made along the hairline and ears.
- Neck Lift treats the neck in isolation, improving the contours of the neck and chin

Preparation
In preparation for facelift surgery, Dr Frank Conroy may have you:
- Get a blood test and a medical evaluation.
- Avoid taking aspirin and certain anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Stop smoking
- Avoid certain foods or beverages.
During the Procedure
The procedure starts with administering anaesthesia to ensure patient comfort and pain relief during surgery.
- Incisions: Dr Frank will make incisions, usually starting in the hairline at the temples, around the ear, and possibly extending into the lower scalp. The placement of incisions aims to minimise visible scarring.
- Tissue Repositioning: After making incisions, he lifts and repositions the underlying facial tissues. This may involve adjusting and tightening muscles, removing excess fat, and redistributing or trimming excess skin.
- Suturing: The surgeon uses sutures to secure the lifted tissues in their new position. Depending on the technique used, sutures may be placed deep within the tissues and/or in the skin.
- Closing Incisions: Once the repositioning is complete, the surgeon closes the incisions with sutures or other skin closure techniques. The surgeon will apply dressings and bandages to protect the incision sites and help with the initial stages of healing.
Post-Procedure Guidelines
- Cold compress to relieve bruising and swelling.
- Keep incision and bandages as dry as possible.
- Avoid strenuous activities, lifting or bending for at least one week.
- Minimise talking and vigorous chewing during the first week.
- Prevent bumps or hits to the head, neck, and face.
Possible Complications of Facelift Surgery
Although facelift surgery is generally deemed safe, as with any surgical procedure, it carries potential risks and complications.
Some potential complications of facelift surgery include:
- Infection
- Scarring
- Changes in skin sensation or numbness
- Temporary hair loss at the site of the incision
- Skin colour irregularities
- Nerve injury
