Surgical Facelift in Alexandria: Price and Types

General (inhalation) anaesthesia is used, so the surgery is painless. You may feel some discomfort and tightness for the first few days; medication prescribed by your doctor relieves it.

A complete result comes from one surgery. After 7–10 years a repeat procedure may be done at the patient's wish.

As a rule, we recommend surgery for patients 40+ with marked tissue sagging, and in certain cases from 35. The recommendation is made individually after an examination.
