Full Facelift

Overview

A full facelift surgically lifts and repositions sagging skin and deeper tissue (SMAS) across the face for a firmer, younger contour.

Methods & types

• SMAS lift for lasting results
• Deep-plane techniques in select cases
• Often combined with neck lift

Who it’s for

• Moderate-to-advanced facial sagging
• Jowls and deep folds
• Usually 40s and older

Recovery

• Bruising/swelling for 2–3 weeks
• Most social downtime within 2–3 weeks
• Refined result over months

Approximate cost

USD 8,000–20,000

Ranges are rough estimates and vary widely by clinic, technique and individual case. Always confirm the exact price at consultation.

Considerations

• Longer downtime than thread lifts
• Results depend on technique and skin quality
