You won’t feel any pain — the surgery is done under general (inhalation) anaesthesia. For the first few days there may be discomfort and tightness, which your doctor’s prescribed medication relieves.

First visible changes come after 3–4 weeks when the swelling goes down. Within 3–6 months the face reaches its final look. The effect of a surgical SMAS facelift lasts 7–10 years.

Yes. The first 7–10 days require rest, a compression bandage and reduced physical activity. Bruising and swelling fade within 2–4 weeks; full recovery takes about 2 months. The operating surgeon follows you up throughout the first year.

A complete result is achieved in one surgery. A repeat procedure after 7–10 years is possible if the patient wishes.

Typically, surgery is recommended from 40+ when tissue sagging is marked, and in some cases from 35. The recommendation is individual and given after an examination.
