What is a facelift?
Facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to rejuvenate the face and neck by correcting skin laxity, wrinkles and jowls. This procedure redefines the facial oval, tones the neck and restores younger and more harmonious contours. Facelift treats both the lower face and neck for overall rejuvenation.
Why have a facelift?
Facelift corrects the signs of aging on the face and neck. It treats skin laxity of the lower face. Jowls and sagging facial oval are corrected. It reduces deep wrinkles such as nasolabial folds. Sagging neck with turkey neck is also treated. Finally, it restores definition to the jawline.
Different lifting techniques
There are several lifting techniques depending on the areas to be treated. Neck lift specifically targets the neck and turkey neck. It also treats the submental area. Facelift acts on the neck and jowls. It redefines the facial oval. Mid-face lift lifts the cheeks and treats nasolabial folds. Temporal and forehead lift opens up the eyes. It corrects forehead wrinkles. Minilift is a less invasive version for moderate laxity.
Complementary techniques
To optimize the results of the lifting, complementary techniques are offered. Lipofilling restores facial volumes, such as the cheeks. Blepharoplasty corrects eyelid laxity. Botulinum toxin or hyaluronic acid injections refine residual wrinkles. Submental liposuction eliminates excess fat. Laser or chemical abrasion improves skin texture.
At what age to consider a facelift?
Facelift can be considered from 40-45 years old. This is when the first signs of laxity appear. The ideal age varies for each person. It depends on skin elasticity, genetic factors and lifestyle. Some people opt for a minilift as early as 40. Others wait until 50-60 for a more complete procedure.
The procedure
The facelift procedure takes place in several stages. It is performed under general anesthesia. It lasts between 2 and 4 hours. The surgeon makes incisions concealed in the scalp. Incisions are also made around the ears. He lifts the skin and underlying tissues. He tightens the muscles and aponeuroses. He then removes excess skin. The incisions are carefully sutured. Submental liposuction is often performed at the same time.
Recovery after lifting
Recovery after a facelift takes place in several phases. Mild pain, swelling and bruising are normal in the first days. A feeling of tightness and numbness is common. Wearing a compression bandage is recommended during the first weeks. A facial mask may also be prescribed. Return to work is possible in 2 to 3 weeks. Intense physical activities are discouraged for 4 to 6 weeks. Sun exposure should be avoided for several months.

Frequently Asked Questions about Facelift
1At what age can one consider a facelift?
A facelift can be considered from 40-45 years old, when the first signs of skin laxity appear. However, the ideal age varies for each person and depends on skin elasticity, genetic factors and lifestyle. A cosmetic surgeon can assess if you are a good candidate during a consultation.
2Can a facelift be combined with blepharoplasty?
Yes, facelift is very often combined with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). This combination allows for overall facial rejuvenation by treating both lower face and neck laxity, and signs of aging around the eyelids. This comprehensive approach provides harmonious and natural results.
3Are facelift scars visible?
Facelift scars are placed in strategic areas to be as discreet as possible: in the scalp, at the temples, along the ear contour and in the fold behind the ears. They fade naturally over time and become practically invisible when properly healed.
4How long does a facelift procedure take?
A facelift generally lasts between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the techniques used. The duration may vary depending on the extent of treatment (neck only, full face) and any complementary procedures performed simultaneously.
5What is the difference between a facelift and a minilift?
Facelift is a complete procedure that treats the entire lower face and neck, with longer incisions and a more spectacular result. Minilift is a lighter version, with shorter incisions and faster recovery, suitable for patients with moderate laxity. The choice depends on the degree of laxity and the patient's goals.
6Can a facelift be performed under local anesthesia?
Facelift is generally performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort and allow the surgeon to work under optimal conditions. However, in some cases of more limited lifting (minilift), local anesthesia with sedation may be offered. The choice of anesthesia is discussed during the preoperative consultation.
7When can I resume social activities after a facelift?
Return to social activities is generally possible after 2 to 3 weeks, when the main swelling and bruising have disappeared. At this stage, scars are still visible but can be camouflaged with makeup. Final results are visible after 3 to 6 months, when tissues have completely healed.
