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.
Swelling and bruising fade in 2–4 weeks, and full recovery takes about 2 months. 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. Your operating surgeon follows you up for the whole first year.

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.
The surgery is carried out under general (inhalation) anaesthesia, which means no pain. In the first few days discomfort and tightness can occur and are eased by 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. The first 7–10 days call for rest, a compression bandage and reduced physical activity. Swelling and bruising fade in 2–4 weeks and full recovery takes about 2 months, while your operating surgeon follows you up for the whole first year.
Yes. Surgical facelifts are frequently combined with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), rhinoplasty or liposuction of the double chin. The scope of the combined procedure is set by the surgeon 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.
Generally, surgery is advised for patients aged 40+ with marked sagging of the tissues, and in some cases from 35. An individual recommendation follows an examination.
Book a free consultation — the surgeon examines you, assesses your type and degree of ageing, explains the expected result and answers all 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.

There are four main options. A standard SMAS facelift lifts the mid and lower face. A full circular lift covers the forehead, temples, mid and lower face and neck. A neck and lower face lift targets the chin, jowls and loose neck skin. An endoscopic brow and temple lift repositions the brows through tiny punctures. The surgeon helps each patient from Benin City choose by age and ageing type.
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 Benin City.
Start with a free, no-pressure consultation: you get an assessment of your ageing type, an explanation of the expected result and answers on recovery. If you decide to proceed, a facelift costs from $2,400 (≈ ₦3,200,000), with anaesthesia, the inpatient stay, meals and a year of follow-up included. People in Benin City can send a request online or message a coordinator.
