Considered major surgery, a facelift is the gold standard for the treatment of moderate to severe wrinkles, jowls and neck folds, and a sagging chin. The patient will be under general anaesthetic, and surgery usually lasts between three and four hours. Patients will be required to be admitted to the hospital for about three days.In the procedure, incisions are made above the hairline at the temples, extending behind the earlobe to the lower scalp. The underlying muscles are tightened, the skin pulled back and the excess skin removed.
Full recover usually takes about three weeks.
