As we age, the skin, muscles, and deeper tissues of the face gradually lose their firmness. The cheeks may begin to descend, the jawline becomes less defined, and loose skin can develop around the lower face and neck. These changes often make people look older or more tired than they feel.
At Aesthetics by King’s College Hospital London – Dubai, facelift surgery is tailored to restore a fresher, more youthful appearance while preserving the features that make you look like yourself. The goal is natural-looking rejuvenation, not a dramatic change in your appearance.
Every procedure is planned by Dr. Dragana Spica, Consultant Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon, with careful consideration of your facial structure, skin quality, and long-term aesthetic goals.
What is a facelift?
A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that lifts and repositions the deeper tissues of the face while removing excess skin. Rather than simply tightening the skin, modern facelift techniques restore facial contours to create a more natural and longer-lasting result.
A facelift may improve:
- Sagging cheeks
- Deep folds around the nose and mouth
- Jowls
- Loss of jawline definition
- Loose skin along the lower face
- Early signs of neck aging
A facelift may also be combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures to achieve a balanced result.
Who is a good candidate for a facelift?
Many patients consider a facelift when they notice that non-surgical treatments no longer provide the improvement they are looking for. The procedure is designed to address structural changes beneath the skin rather than surface wrinkles alone.
You may be a suitable candidate if you:
- Have sagging skin around the cheeks or jawline
- Notice jowls or loss of facial definition
- Have good general health
- Do not smoke or are willing to stop before surgery
- Have realistic expectations about your results
During your consultation, Dr. Dragana Spica will assess your facial anatomy and discuss whether a facelift is the most appropriate option for your goals.
What happens during facelift surgery?
No two facelifts are exactly alike. Before surgery, Dr. Dragana Spica carefully evaluates how your skin, facial tissues, and neck have changed over time before recommending the technique that will provide the most natural result.
During the procedure, the deeper layers of the face are repositioned, excess skin is carefully removed, and the remaining skin is redraped without unnecessary tension. Every effort is made to place incisions in discreet locations so they become less noticeable as they heal.
Some patients choose a facelift on its own, while others combine it with procedures such as a neck lift, eyelid surgery, or fat grafting to address several areas of facial aging during one operation.
What is recovery like?
Swelling and bruising are expected during the early stages of healing, with most patients gradually returning to normal daily activities over the following weeks.
Your recovery plan may include:
- Keeping your head elevated
- Avoiding strenuous activity while healing
- Attending follow-up appointments
- Following your personalized aftercare instructions
As the swelling settles, your facial contours become more defined and your final result continues to improve over the following months.

While the face continues to age naturally, facelift surgery provides long-lasting improvement. Many patients enjoy their results for years with good skincare and a healthy lifestyle.
A modern facelift is designed to reposition the deeper tissues of the face rather than simply tighten the skin. The goal is to help you look refreshed, not like a different person.
There is no ideal age. The right time depends on the amount of facial aging, your skin quality, and your personal goals rather than your age alone.
Incisions are carefully planned and placed around the hairline and natural contours of the ears wherever possible so that scars become less noticeable as they mature.
Most patients return to many normal activities within two to four weeks, although healing continues for several months as swelling fully resolves.
