Reposition deeper facial tissues for a natural, lasting rejuvenation — not just skin tightening.
Modern facelift (SMAS or deep-plane) goes beyond surface skin tightening to reposition the underlying facial fascia and muscle layer. This corrects jowls, marionette lines, and mid-face descent while preserving facial expression. The result is natural and long-lasting (10–15 years) — unlike skin-only lifts which look 'pulled'.

- Addresses jowls, jawline, mid-face, and neck
- Often combined with blepharoplasty and fat grafting

- ◍Visible jowl formation
- ◍Mid-face descent / 'flattening' of cheeks
- ◍Loose neck skin (combined with neck lift)
- ◍Patients aged 45–70 typically
