Facelift at Elyzee Hospital, Abu Dhabi — Restore Youthful Facial Contours

A facelift (rhytidectomy) at Elyzee Hospital is a surgical procedure designed to address visible signs of facial aging — including wrinkles, jowls, and sagging skin around the cheeks, jawline, and neck. Combining advanced surgical techniques with aesthetic judgment, our surgeons reposition tissues, remove excess skin, and restore a refreshed, natural appearance.

Benefits of a Facelift

Reduce wrinkles: Smooth fine lines and deep creases by tightening underlying support structures and eliminating excess skin.
Improve facial contours & restore volume: Reposition tissues and redistribute or augment volume to create balanced, youthful proportions.
Lift and tighten sagging skin: Address tissue laxity of the cheeks, jawline, and neck to produce a visibly lifted and rejuvenated look.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?

Ideal candidates are healthy individuals with realistic expectations who are bothered by moderate to advanced facial aging (deep wrinkles, jowls, sagging skin, or volume loss). Your surgeon at Elyzee Hospital will evaluate skin quality, facial anatomy, medical history, and aesthetic goals to determine if a facelift — alone or combined with complementary procedures — is right for you.

Consultation and Preparation

During your consultation at Elyzee Hospital, the plastic surgeon will conduct a thorough facial assessment, review your medical history, and discuss options and expected outcomes. Preoperative preparation may include stopping blood-thinning medications, ceasing smoking, optimizing nutrition, and following specific fasting instructions before surgery.

What Happens During the Procedure

Facelifts are typically performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation. Techniques vary by patient need, but generally include:

Incisions placed along the hairline and natural facial creases for optimal concealment.
Elevation and repositioning of deeper facial tissues and muscles (SMAS/platysma when indicated).
Removal of excess skin and selective fat repositioning or grafting to restore volume.
Meticulous closure of incisions to minimize visible scarring.

After the Procedure & Recovery

Patients can expect temporary swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. Postoperative care at Elyzee Hospital includes analgesics, cold compresses, wound care instructions, and follow-up visits. Typical recovery milestones:

First few days: noticeable swelling and bruising; dressings and initial checks.
1–2 weeks: many patients resume light daily activities and have sutures/staples removed as advised.
3–6 weeks: swelling subsides significantly; return to more vigorous activity per surgeon guidance.

Final Results

Final outcomes emerge as swelling resolves and tissues settle over several months. A successful facelift delivers a natural, long-lasting rejuvenation — smoother contours, improved jawline definition, and a refreshed facial appearance. Results are optimized when combined with healthy lifestyle choices and tailored skin care.

Risks & Considerations

As with any surgery, risks include bleeding, infection, nerve changes, scarring, and asymmetry. Your surgeon at Elyzee Hospital will discuss individualized risks and strategies to minimize them during the consultation.
