Facelift
Overview
Rejuvenate your face with the gold standard in aesthetic face surgery – the facelift.
As we get older, both men and women develop lines and wrinkles, experience sagging tissue, diminish their skin elasticity and lose youthful fat from the midface. These visible signs of aging can be significantly improved by facial surgery, also called rhytidectomy. While it will not stop the aging process, it will bring back the more youthful appearance of your face and neck. It is best described as a combination of several procedures which tackle the signs of aging through a lower and mid-face lift, a brow lift and sometimes an eyelid surgery. At IMAGN INSTITUTE, our team of board-certified surgeons, will bring back a smoother, more defined and more youthful face and neckline to exceed your expectations.

Facelift approaches
Full Facelift
A full facelift is a standard low-risk surgical solution employed to tackle moderate to severe signs of aging on the face. This procedure addresses face aging concerns, including skin laxity, deep facial creases, and the sagging of tissue in areas like the midface and along the jawline.
The procedure involves small incisions made within the hairline and around the natural creases of the skin around the ears. Excess skin is removed, while underlying structures are repositioned to bring back the youthful you. Any possible scars remain virtually invisible while you will take at least 10 years off your current appearance.
Mini Facelift
Recommended for the treatment of mild to moderate signs of aging, the mini facelift employs even smaller incisions that the full facelift, to ensure faster recovery. The incisions are made in the natural skin creases around the ears and extend behind inside the hairline. The areas affected are mostly the same as those treated through a full facelift.
Neck lift
A neck lift can be performed individually or simultaneously with any facelift procedure to achieve best results. The procedure removes sagging skin from the neck area through a small incision around each year and underneath the chin. This is the recommended solution to tackle that “turkey wattle” look that does not compliment your image.

Deep plane facelift
This procedure consists of lifting the deep structures of the face, namely the platysma muscles in the neck and SMAS layer in the face. The Deep Plane Facelift technique has several advantages: The results last for many years since it is the foundation of the face that is lifted and not only the skin, scars are almost invisible once they heal because there is no tension on the skin closure, and the results look very natural.
Endoscopic facelift
With endoscopic lifting techniques, the cheeks and the brow shape and position can be adjusted without scars in the skin. This procedure is done using a small camera through small scars that hidden in the scalp. When performed by experts, these results can last for many years.

The Recovery Process
Most patients find the recovery from a facelift much more tolerable than expected. You will be prescribed painkillers, if needed. Our surgeons will also instruct you on the use of ice packs and head elevation systems while lying to reduce the bruising and the swelling.
Most patients report that they have successfully returned to their normal routine within 2 weeks of the surgery, when most of the swelling and bruising is practically invisible.
FAQs about Facial Lifting
What is a facial lifting?
Facial lifting, also known as a facelift, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging in the face and neck. This technique removes excess skin, tightens facial muscles, and redistributes fat to achieve a younger and more natural appearance.
How much does a facial lifting cost?
The cost of a facelift varies depending on several factors, such as the technique used, the surgeon’s experience, and the clinic where the procedure is performed. At IMAGN Institute, we offer a personalized evaluation to determine the most suitable treatment for each patient and provide a detailed quote.
What is the difference between a mini facelift and a full facelift?
A mini facelift is a less invasive version of a full facelift. It is recommended for individuals with mild to moderate signs of aging and has a faster recovery time. In contrast, a full facelift addresses deep wrinkles and more pronounced sagging throughout the face and neck.
