Am I a Candidate for Facelift Surgery?

In general, candidates for facelift surgery include those who are suffering from moderate to severe signs of aging in the mid-to-lower face. These concerns may include:

• Diminished facial volume and/or neck definition
• Loss of collagen and skin elasticity
• Wrinkles, lines, deep folds or jowls
• Loose or hanging skin
• Stubborn facial fat

Many patients opt to combine facelift surgery with other facial rejuvenation procedures. While neck lift surgery is a popular choice, others may incorporate blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) or another option for more comprehensive effects.

What Is the Ideal Age for a Facelift?

There is no ideal age for a facelift or neck lift, since the factors that contribute to aging will vary from patient to patient. These versatile procedures can be customized to a variety of cosmetic concerns, and they are sought by patients from a wide age range. Rather than your age, Dr. Khanna will consider your skin laxity, overall health and aesthetic goals before deeming you eligible for facelift surgery.

What Does the Facelift Procedure Involve?

Dr. Khanna approaches each facelift surgery with the goal of enhancing the patient’s inherent beauty. Our surgeon focuses on the structural components underneath the face to preserve its natural curves and angles.

The procedure is typically performed under general anaesthesia. Incisions are often placed in the hairline, beneath the chin and/or behind the ear, though their exact placement will depend on your skin laxity and cosmetic goals. The procedure may involve tightening or removing excess skin, tightening muscles, reducing excess facial fat and lifting the skin’s soft tissue.

Like every solution we offer at ICLS, your facelift surgery will be tailored to your unique needs. If you so desire, Dr. Khanna can incorporate additional procedures – even non-surgical treatments, such as dermal fillers – into your treatment plan.

What Can I Expect After Facelift Surgery?

Following surgery, the patient will go home with their head and neck in a surgical support garment and dressings, which are usually removed the next day. Minimal initial discomfort can often be easily controlled with oral medication, and sutures are typically removed within seven days.

In most cases, bruising and swelling will decrease to socially acceptable levels in 10-20 days. While results are generally evident after four to six weeks, continued improvement can be expected for several months. The final result is seen in one year.

How Much Does a Facelift Cost?

At ICLS, pricing for facelift surgery begins at $26,400. That said, the cost of treatment varies depending on the patient’s individual needs and concerns. Other factors, such as additional procedures incorporated into your care or the prescription of post-operative medications, can also influence the final cost.

We always aim to make the financial aspect of care as stress-free as possible for our patients. For this reason, we accept all major forms of payment, and even work with two third-party financing companies, iFinance and Beautifi, to help eligible patients finance their care in installments.
