Facial Procedures
Facelift
Reposition and firm the deeper structures of the face for a naturally rejuvenated, unmistakably you result.
A Facelift That Looks Like Rest, Not Surgery
Modern facelift surgery lifts the deeper layer of the face — not just the skin — which is why the result looks natural.
Skin-only lifting produces tightness; repositioning the underlying SMAS layer restores the volume and support that time has shifted. Our surgeons work along the natural planes of the face, placing incisions within the hairline and around the ear, and combining the lift with fat transfer or eyelid surgery where that gives a more harmonious result.

Natural, Unpulled Result: The aim is a rested version of your own face, never a different one.
Concealed Incisions: Placed within the hairline and the natural contours around the ear.
Addresses the Jaw and Neck: Definition returns along the jawline, which is often what patients notice first.
Long-Lasting: A well-executed facelift typically holds for a decade or more.
What to Expect During Your Facelift Journey
01
Comprehensive Consultation & 3D Simulation
We start by listening. Your surgeon assesses your anatomy and goals, then uses Adoreal’s 3D technology to simulate your facelift result before any commitment is made.
02
Tailored Surgical Plan
We agree the extent — full, mid, or lower face and neck — and whether volume restoration should be part of the plan.
03
Your Procedure Day
Facelift surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and typically involves one night with us.
04
Recovery & Ongoing Support
Swelling and bruising settle over two to three weeks, with the final result emerging across three to six months as tissues soften.
Recovery After Facelift Surgery
Minimal Downtime: While you may experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the days following surgery, most patients can return to light activities within 1–2 weeks.
Return to Activity: You’ll need to avoid strenuous activities and exercise for about 4–6 weeks to ensure proper healing. By following your surgeon’s aftercare instructions, you’ll enjoy a smooth recovery process.
Final Results: The final results of your facelift will become more apparent as the swelling subsides over the course of several months. You’ll be able to enjoy your rejuvenated, youthful appearance for years to come.
Minimized Scarring: Facelift incisions are carefully placed around the ears and hairline, making scars virtually invisible after healing. We’ll provide advice on scar care to ensure the best possible outcome.
Rejuvenating the Neck: The Combined Face and Neck Lift
The face and neck age together, which is why many patients achieve the most harmonious results by treating them as one aesthetic unit. A combined face and neck lift specifically targets sagging skin around the lower half of the face and neck:
Defined Jawline and Neck Contour: Elevating the soft tissues of the neck and lower face reduces jowls, tightens loose skin under the chin and restores a smooth, youthful neck contour.
Virtually Invisible Incisions: Incisions are placed in natural skin creases in front of and behind the ears and within the hairline, making them extremely discreet once healed.
Efficient Procedure: The surgery takes approximately one to two hours depending on complexity, performed under general anaesthesia, commonly as a day case or with a single overnight stay.
Balanced, Natural Harmony: Treating the face and neck together avoids the mismatch of a rejuvenated face above an untreated neck, improving the overall balance and proportion of your features.
Frequently Asked Questions About Facelifts
What age is right for a facelift?
There is no set age. Most patients are in their late forties to sixties, but suitability depends on tissue quality and your goals, not the date on your passport.
Will it look obvious?
Not with a deep-plane approach and conservative judgement. Our surgeons would rather do slightly less than risk an operated look.
How long is the recovery?
Two to three weeks before you are comfortable socially, and around six weeks to full activity.
Can it be combined with other procedures?
Frequently — eyelid surgery and fat transfer are common companions, and often give a more balanced result than a lift alone.
