Book a consultationHow it works
An agreed surgical plan, inpatient monitoring and follow-up by your surgeon for a year.
1The surgeon examines you, assesses the degree of sagging and the areas to correct, and explains the surgery and recovery. The first consultation is free and can start online.
2We book a date that suits you. The scope of surgery and the final price are fixed in the contract — no hidden extras.
3You complete the check-up prescribed by the surgeon and see the anaesthetist. The specialists assess your health and readiness for surgery.
4Under general (inhalation) anaesthesia the surgeon lifts and secures the SMAS layer, redrapes the skin and removes the excess. Incisions are hidden along the hairline and around the ears.
5After surgery you stay in a comfortable inpatient room with meals, under 24/7 monitoring by medical staff.
6For the first 7–10 days — rest, a compression bandage and reduced physical activity. Your operating surgeon follows you up for the whole first year.

For the first 7–10 days you need rest, a compression bandage and reduced physical activity. For the first few days you may feel discomfort and tightness, which are relieved with medication prescribed by your doctor.

FAQ
It is a face lift that tightens the deep SMAS layer under the skin, not only the skin itself, so the lower face, jawline and neck become firmer. The result is long-term, while natural skin ageing continues.
Surgery is performed under general (inhalation) anaesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain. In the first few days you may feel discomfort and tightness, relieved with medication prescribed by your doctor.
The first clear changes appear once the swelling goes down, after 3–4 weeks. The face takes on its final look within 3–6 months. The result of a surgical SMAS facelift is long-term, while natural skin ageing continues.
Yes. During the first 7–10 days: rest, a compression bandage and less physical activity. Swelling and bruising fade within 2–4 weeks, and full recovery takes about 2 months. For the whole first year, your operating surgeon follows you up.
Yes. A surgical facelift can be, and often is, combined with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), rhinoplasty or double-chin liposuction. The surgeon decides on the combined scope at the consultation.
Payment is made in full before the procedure. If you would like to spread the cost, you can take out a loan with your own bank and pay the full amount with it.
A standard, skin-only lift works only on the surface layer of skin, and its effect is short-lived. A SMAS facelift goes deeper: the surgeon works on the muscle and fascia layer of the face and lifts tissues at the cause, not the effect. The outcome is natural and lasting.
One surgery gives a complete result. Whether a repeat correction is ever needed is individual and is decided by the surgeon at an examination.
As a rule, surgery is recommended for patients aged 40+ with marked tissue sagging, and in some cases from 35. The recommendation is made individually after an examination.
Book a free consultation with the surgeon, who will examine you, assess the type and degree of ageing, explain the expected result and answer your questions.
City Medical Centre performs surgical facelifts only. The surgeon tailors the scope of surgery at the consultation, after assessing the changes and explaining every stage. The skin, subcutaneous fat and the SMAS layer (muscles and ligaments) are corrected layer by layer, so the face looks natural, without an “overdone” effect, and the result is long-term — while natural skin ageing continues.
Beyond 40–50 the skin gradually loses firmness: noticeable sagging, jowls, a blurred jawline and drooping cheeks. A surgical SMAS facelift works deeper than cosmetology by repositioning the muscle and fascia layer; it treats the cause of sagging, not its effects, and delivers a lasting result even with significant changes.

After 40–50 the skin gradually loses firmness: tissues sag, jowls form, the jawline blurs and the cheeks droop. A surgical SMAS facelift works deeper than cosmetology, repositioning the muscle and fascia layer so it treats the cause of sagging rather than its effects. For patients from Baghdad, this gives a lasting result even when changes are significant, with a long-term effect while natural skin ageing continues.
On the day of surgery you are under combined inhalation anaesthesia, so there is no pain. The surgeon works through incisions hidden along the hairline and around the ears, lifts the skin, redistributes fat and secures the SMAS layer. Afterwards you stay in a comfortable inpatient room with meals and 24/7 monitoring by medical staff. The same care applies to everyone in Baghdad.
If you are comparing facelift prices in Baghdad, check what each offer includes and how long the result lasts. Here the price starts from $2,400 (≈ IQD 3,150,000) and covers anaesthesia, the stay, meals, 24/7 monitoring and a year of follow-up, and the result of a surgical SMAS lift is long-term. The final amount is fixed at the consultation. Book yours for free on WhatsApp or Telegram.
Baghdad's population is above 7 million, making it one of the largest cities in the region by the Iraqi Central Statistics Organisation's own figures. A city that size means a steady, year-round flow of people considering a facelift for the same reasons patients anywhere do — sagging along the jaw, a tired look around the eyes, a face that no longer matches how someone feels — rather than anything specific to the place itself.
What that scale does change is practical: enough local demand that clinics build their process, from the first photo sent to a coordinator through to the final check-up at 3-6 months, around handling a steady stream of consultations rather than treating each one as unusual.
It also means a wide age range walks through that same process, since the clinic's own guidance points to 40 as the usual starting point for a surgical lift, with 35 considered case by case — in a population this size, both ends of that range are common, not exceptions.
July in Baghdad averages around 37°C with humidity as low as 23%, while winter runs closer to 70% humidity and noticeably cooler, according to the city's climate data. During the first 7-10 days after a SMAS facelift, when rest and a compression bandage are the main instructions, that heat makes shade and a cool room more than nice-to-haves — swelling and bruising are already expected to ease over 2-4 weeks, and a hot, dry environment on top of healing tissue is simply harder on anyone.
Sun exposure on healing incisions along the hairline and around the ears is a general-purpose caution after any facial surgery, and it applies with extra force under Baghdad's summer sun specifically: a hat and shade do more work here than in a milder climate, right through the 2-month mark when full recovery is usually reached.
Staying hydrated and out of direct midday sun also makes the swelling itself easier to track, since a very hot day can make healing tissue look and feel puffier on its own, independent of how the lift itself is settling — worth keeping in mind before reading too much into how any single day looks in the mirror.
Doctors and private clinics in Iraq are licensed through the Ministry of Health, which gives patients a national reference point for checking that a surgeon is operating within that system before booking anything irreversible.
At a free consultation, it's reasonable to ask directly how many facelifts the surgeon performs in a typical year, which of the four techniques — standard SMAS, full circular, neck-only or endoscopic brow lift — fits your specific sagging, and what a realistic outcome looks like for your age and skin, separate from, but just as important as, confirming the licence itself.
None of those questions should feel awkward to ask, and a straightforward answer to each one is a fair sign that the consultation is being run properly before any date is booked.
Yes — sending photos to the clinic's coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp, answered around the clock, is enough for an initial read on which type of lift might suit you before any visit is arranged.
There's no strict rule, but the first 7-10 days of rest and the following 2-4 weeks of fading swelling are generally easier outside the peak of summer heat, which is why some patients choose to plan around it.
By the clinic's own timeline: swelling and bruising settle over 2-4 weeks, full recovery is usually reached around 2 months, and the final look takes shape over 3-6 months, with a long-term result.
Ask the clinic to show its licence directly, and know that Iraq's Ministry of Health is the national authority that issues and oversees those licences for doctors and private facilities.
