Eyelid Lift
The eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty, is a procedure that removes excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat from the upper and lower eyelids. The result is a more alert and youthful look, reducing the appearance of tiredness and age.
- Length of procedure – 1-2 hours
- Anesthesia – Local with sedation or general
- Recovery – Most patients resume normal activities within 7-10 days
Facelift
A facelift addresses signs of aging by tightening facial skin, reducing wrinkles, and enhancing the overall contour of the face and jawline. This procedure can rejuvenate your appearance, making you look years younger.
- Length of procedure – 2-4 hours
- Anesthesia – General
- Recovery – Patients typically return to normal activities in 2 weeks
Necklift
The neck lift is designed to improve the appearance of the neck and jawline, removing excess skin and fat, and tightening the underlying muscles. It can be performed alone or with a facelift for a harmonious final result.
- Length of procedure – 1-3 hours
- Anesthesia – General or local with sedation
- Recovery – Most patients return to their usual routine within 10-14 days

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What can I expect during recovery?
A: Recovery times differ depending on the procedure; however, it’s common to experience some swelling and bruising post-surgery. Patients who undergo an eyelid lift generally return to their usual activities within a week, whereas those who have a facelift or neck lift may require up to two weeks for recovery.
Q: Will there be scars?
A: Incisions are carefully positioned to be as inconspicuous as possible. For instance, scars from an eyelid lift are hidden within the eye’s natural creases, whereas those from a facelift or neck lift are discreetly placed along the hairline or within the ear’s natural contours.
Q: How long will the results last?
A: While results are long-lasting, aging will continue. Proper skincare and a healthy lifestyle can help extend the results.
Q: Is anesthesia safe?
A: Yes, procedures are performed under anesthesia to ensure comfort. The type of anesthesia used will be discussed during your consultation.
Q: Can I combine procedures?
A: Absolutely. Combining procedures, like a facelift and neck lift, can provide more comprehensive rejuvenation and may reduce overall recovery time.
