Understanding the Procedure

What Is
Facelift?

A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that lifts and tightens facial tissues to reduce sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of muscle tone caused by aging.

This procedure primarily targets:

  • Sagging cheeks
  • Deep lines around the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds)
  • Jowls along the jawline
  • Loose skin and fat in the neck


Modern facelift techniques focus on repositioning deeper facial structures—not just tightening the skin—resulting in natural-looking, long-lasting outcomes.

Who Is This Procedure For?
Facelift surgery is ideal for adults in good health who want to reduce signs of aging such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of jawline definition. Candidates should have realistic expectations, good skin elasticity, and be non-smokers or willing to stop before surgery.

WHY CONSIDER FACELIFT

The Benefits of
Facelift Surgery

Aesthetic improvements designed to restore youthful contours and last for years.

Enhanced Facial Contours

A facelift lifts and repositions underlying tissues to restore natural definition to the cheeks, jawline, and neck—creating a smoother, more youthful profile.

Improved Self-Confidence

Patients often feel more confident in social and professional settings, with results that help them look as youthful as they feel.

Reduction of Wrinkles & Sagging

Effectively reduces deep folds, loose skin, and jowls—addressing the most visible signs of aging.

Long-Lasting Results

Unlike non-surgical treatments, facelift results can last for many years, maintaining a naturally refreshed appearance over time.

Natural-Looking Outcome

Modern techniques focus on subtle enhancement, avoiding an overly tight or artificial look.

Single Comprehensive Procedure

Addresses multiple concerns—skin laxity, deep folds, and facial sagging—in one procedure, minimizing the need for repeated treatments.

Transparency First

Risks &
Considerations

At Aris, we believe informed patients make the best decisions. All surgical procedures carry some level of risk, and facelift surgery is no exception. During your consultation, Dr. Naveen Ahuja will explain these in detail and recommend surgery only when the benefits clearly outweigh the risks for your specific goals.
At Aris, we prioritize safety, transparency, and personalized care. Every patient receives a thorough evaluation to ensure the procedure is appropriate and aligned with their expectations.

Swelling & Bruising

Common in the first 1–2 weeks. Most swelling improves within a few weeks, while minor residual swelling may take longer to fully resolve.

Infection

Rare but possible. Prevented with sterile techniques and managed effectively if detected early.

Scarring

Incisions are carefully placed along the hairline and around the ears, resulting in minimal, well-hidden scars that fade over time.

Anaesthesia Risks

General anesthesia carries standard risks, which are discussed in advance and carefully monitored by the medical team.

Asymmetry or Irregularity

Minor differences in healing can occur. In rare cases, small adjustments may be needed after full recovery.

Temporary Numbness or Tightness

Some patients experience temporary numbness or a feeling of tightness, which gradually improves as healing progresses.
