Facelift for Patients from Tabuk

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. With a surgical SMAS facelift the effect lasts 7–10 years.

Yes. You'll need rest, a compression bandage and lower physical activity for the first 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising fade over 2–4 weeks, with full recovery in about 2 months. The operating surgeon follows you up for the whole first year.

Yes. Often a surgical facelift is combined with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), rhinoplasty or double-chin liposuction. How extensive the combined procedure is, the surgeon decides at the consultation.

Yes, you can pay in parts with City Medical Centre's in-house 0% instalments — no bank interest, no overpayment.

In a standard (skin-only) lift, only the top skin layer is affected and the effect is short-lived. A SMAS facelift is a deeper operation — the surgeon works on the muscle and fascia layer of the face, lifting tissues at the cause rather than the effect, for a natural and lasting outcome.

A single surgery gives a complete result. If the patient wishes, a repeat procedure may be done after 7–10 years.

As a rule, patients aged 40+ with marked tissue sagging are recommended surgery, and in some cases from 35. The recommendation is individual and follows an examination.
