Do you feel like your face no longer reflects how youthful and vibrant you feel inside?

With time, the natural ageing process can lead to sagging skin, deep folds, and a loss of definition in the face and neck. A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and tighten the skin and underlying tissues, reversing the effects of ageing and rejuvenating your appearance while maintaining your natural beauty.

Performed by skilled facial plastic surgeon Mr Aftab Ahmed, every facelift is customised to your unique facial structure and goals. With care provided in state-of-the-art facilities in Nottingham and Doncaster, you can expect expert treatment in a comfortable and professional setting.

Also Known As: Rhytidectomy, facial rejuvenation surgery, facial lift.

What Is a Facelift?

A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to improve visible signs of ageing in the face and neck. It focuses on lifting sagging skin, tightening the underlying muscles, and removing excess fat to create a smoother, firmer, and more youthful look.

A facelift can address a variety of concerns, including:

• Sagging or loose skin in the lower face.
• Deep folds or wrinkles, such as nasolabial lines (from the nose to the corners of the mouth).
• Jowls or loss of jawline definition.
• Excess fat or sagging skin in the neck (sometimes referred to as a "turkey neck").

The result is a refreshed, natural appearance that restores definition and enhances your facial contours.

What Happens During a Facelift?

A facelift is a procedure tailored to your individual needs. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Consultation: During your consultation, Mr Ahmed will assess your facial structure and discuss your concerns and goals. Together, you’ll create a personalised treatment plan.
2. Procedure: The surgery is performed under local or general anaesthetic. Small, discreet incisions are typically made around the hairline and ears, allowing the skin to be gently lifted and tightened. Excess skin is removed, and the underlying tissues and muscles are repositioned for a more youthful contour.
3. Recovery: Swelling and bruising are normal in the first two weeks and will gradually subside. Most patients feel comfortable returning to daily activities within 3-4 weeks, with full results becoming apparent over the following weeks.

Types of Facelift

The type of facelift that’s right for you will depend on your individual concerns, the degree of ageing, and the results you’re hoping to achieve. Here’s a closer look at the main techniques:

Traditional Facelift

This is the most comprehensive option, designed to address more advanced signs of ageing across the face. A traditional facelift can lift sagging skin, reduce jowls, and smooth deep creases below the eyes and along the nose to the corners of the mouth. It also repositions or removes displaced fat to restore a more youthful contour.
Incisions are typically made along the hairline above the ear, extending down around the ear and ending at the lower scalp. The skin is carefully lifted, underlying tissues are tightened, and excess skin is removed. While recovery takes a little longer than less invasive techniques, the results are dramatic, long-lasting, and rejuvenating.

Mini Facelift

This less invasive option is ideal for those with mild to moderate signs of ageing, particularly around the cheeks and jawline. Smaller incisions are made around the ears, through which the underlying tissues are tightened and excess skin is removed. A mini facelift requires less recovery time than a traditional facelift, with reduced swelling and bruising. While the results are more subtle and may not last as long, a mini facelift is a fantastic option for individuals seeking natural-looking enhancement with a shorter downtime.

Both techniques can deliver beautifully tailored results, and during your consultation, Mr Aftab Ahmed will guide you toward the best option to meet your needs and goals.

How Much Does a Facelift Cost?

Is a Facelift Painful?

A facelift is performed under anaesthetic, so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. Mild discomfort or tightness is normal during recovery, but this is easily managed with pain relief.

How Long Does It Take to Recover from a Facelift?

Most patients feel ready to return to normal activities within 3-4 weeks, with swelling and bruising improving significantly during this time. Full recovery typically takes a few weeks, with results becoming more defined as healing progresses.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Facelift?

A facelift is suitable for individuals experiencing sagging skin, deep wrinkles, or a loss of definition in the face and neck. During your consultation, Mr Ahmed will assess your concerns and determine if a facelift is the right option for you.

Will There Be Scars After a Facelift?

Facelift incisions are carefully placed around the hairline and ears, making scars discreet and virtually invisible once healed.

Are the Results of a Facelift Permanent?

While a facelift provides long-lasting results, it cannot stop the natural ageing process. However, most patients enjoy their rejuvenated appearance for many years following the procedure.

How Long Do Facelifts Last?

The results of a facelift are long-lasting, with most patients enjoying their refreshed appearance for 10–15 years. While the natural ageing process continues, the improvements made during the procedure will help you look more youthful than if you had not undergone surgery. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and good skincare routine can further prolong your results.

What Is an Invisible Facelift?

An invisible facelift refers to a technique designed to achieve natural-looking results with minimal scarring. It involves placing discreet incisions along the hairline or behind the ears, ensuring scars are virtually undetectable once healed. This approach focuses on lifting and tightening the skin and underlying tissues without creating an overly "pulled" or artificial appearance, delivering a subtle and refreshed look.

How Many Facelifts Can You Have?

There is no set limit to the number of facelifts you can have, as long as your skin and overall health are suitable for additional procedures. Some individuals choose to have a second or even third facelift after 10–15 years to maintain their results as the ageing process continues. During a consultation, your surgeon will assess your skin quality and discuss whether further surgery is the right option for you.
