Facelift in Oyo from $2,400

Under general (inhalation) anaesthesia you won’t feel any pain during surgery. The first few days may bring discomfort and tightness, which are relieved with medication from your doctor.

The first clear changes appear after 3–4 weeks once the swelling has gone down, and the face takes its final look within 3–6 months. After a surgical SMAS facelift the effect lasts 7–10 years.

Yes. For 7–10 days at the start: rest, a compression bandage and reduced physical activity. Swelling and bruising fade in 2–4 weeks; recovering fully takes about 2 months. You are followed up by your operating surgeon for the whole first year.

One operation gives a complete result. A repeat procedure is possible after 7–10 years if the patient wants it.

Surgery is, as a rule, recommended at 40+ with marked tissue sagging — in some cases from 35. After an examination, the recommendation is given individually.
