Through meticulous surgical techniques performed by our experienced team of plastic surgeons, we aim to address signs of aging such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of facial volume.

With a focus on safety, efficacy, and patient satisfaction, Indotaj Hospital provides a trusted environment for individuals looking to restore a more youthful appearance through Surgical Facelift treatment.
Why it's done
Here are some key points on why a surgical facelift might be done:
- Sagging Skin: As people age, the skin loses elasticity, leading to sagging. A facelift tightens and lifts the skin, giving a more youthful appearance.
- Deep Creases: Wrinkles and deep creases, such as nasolabial folds (lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth) and marionette lines (lines running from the corners of the mouth to the chin), can be minimized through a facelift procedure.
- Jowls: With age, the skin around the jawline can become lax, resulting in the appearance of jowls. Facelift surgery helps to redefine the jawline and eliminate jowls.
- Neck Sagging: A facelift can also address sagging skin and excess fat in the neck area, often referred to as a “turkey neck” or “double chin.”
- Improvement of Facial Contours: Facelift surgery not only lifts the skin but also repositions underlying facial tissues, providing a more defined and youthful facial contour.
- Boost in Confidence: Many individuals choose to undergo a facelift to enhance their self-esteem and feel more confident in their appearance.
Risk
Undergoing a surgical facelift involves certain risks, as with any surgical procedure. Some potential risks include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Scarring
- Nerve damage
- Hematoma
- Anesthesia risks
- Skin necrosis
- Hair loss around incision sites
- Unsatisfactory results
- Psychological effects
How do I get ready for a surgical facelift?
Preparing for a surgical facelift treatment involves several steps:
- Consultation: Patients should schedule a consultation with the surgeon to discuss goals, expectations, and medical history.
- Medical Evaluation: The surgeon will conduct a medical evaluation to ensure the patient is a suitable candidate for the procedure.
- Follow Pre-Op Instructions: Patients must follow any pre-operative instructions provided by the surgeon, such as avoiding certain medications and alcohol.
- Arrange Transportation: Arrange for transportation to and from the hospital on the day of the surgery, as patients will not be able to drive themselves.
- Prepare Recovery Space: Set up a comfortable recovery space at home with necessary supplies, including medications, ice packs, and soft foods.
- Plan for Assistance: Arrange for someone to help with daily tasks during the initial recovery period, as patients may experience discomfort and limited mobility.
- Follow Post-Op Care Instructions: After the surgery, strictly follow all post-operative care instructions provided by the surgeon to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
