Facelift (Rhytidectomy)

A Facelift, medically known as Rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce visible signs of aging in the face and neck. At Fertilis, we focus on restoring youthful contours while maintaining natural facial expressions—never an overdone or artificial look.

As we age, the skin loses elasticity, facial tissues descend, and wrinkles deepen. A facelift addresses sagging skin, deep folds, and loss of jawline definition to create a smoother, firmer, and more refreshed appearance.

What Does a Facelift Correct?

A facelift can improve:

  • Sagging skin in the mid and lower face

  • Deep nasolabial folds (lines from nose to mouth)

  • Jowls and loss of jawline definition

  • Loose skin and excess fat in the neck

  • General facial laxity and volume descent

It is often combined with neck lift, eyelid surgery, or fat transfer for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Who is a Candidate for a Facelift?

You may be a suitable candidate if you:

  • Notice sagging skin and loss of facial definition

  • Have deep wrinkles or folds that cannot be corrected with non-surgical treatments

  • Are in good overall health

  • Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

  • Desire long-lasting rejuvenation rather than temporary solutions

Facelift surgery is typically performed on patients aged 40–70, but suitability depends more on skin quality than age.

Types of Facelift Procedures

At Fertilis, treatment is fully personalized and may include:

  • Mini Facelift – Targets mild sagging with shorter incisions and quicker recovery

  • Full Facelift – Addresses moderate to advanced aging in the mid and lower face

  • Deep Plane Facelift – Repositions deeper facial tissues for more natural and longer-lasting results

  • Facelift with Neck Lift – Improves both facial contours and neck definition

The Facelift Procedure

1. Consultation and Planning
Your surgeon evaluates facial structure, skin elasticity, and aging patterns to create a customized surgical plan.

2. Surgery
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 3–5 hours. Incisions are carefully placed around the ears and hairline to minimize visible scarring. The underlying tissues are lifted and repositioned before excess skin is removed.

3. Recovery
Mild swelling and bruising are expected for the first 1–2 weeks. Most patients return to social activities within 2–3 weeks. Final results continue to improve over several months as swelling fully resolves.

Expected Results

  • Firmer, smoother facial contours

  • Restored jawline definition

  • Reduction in deep wrinkles and folds

  • A naturally youthful and refreshed appearance

  • Long-lasting results (often 8–12 years)
