It tightens sagging skin, smoothens wrinkles, and restores youthful facial contours, helping you look refreshed, confident, and naturally younger. As we age, the skin loses elasticity, facial fat decreases, and gravity causes sagging. A facelift helps lift and reposition underlying tissues, remove excess skin, and refine the jawline and neck.
India has become a global destination for facelift surgery, offering world-class plastic surgeons, advanced medical technologies, and affordable cosmetic care that rivals the best clinics in the US, UK, or UAE. With VivaVel Health, you can connect with India's top aesthetic and reconstructive surgeons who specialize in natural-looking results, ensuring beauty with safety - along with complete medical tourism support including visa, travel, accommodation, and recovery care.
You may consider facelift surgery if you experience:
Sagging skin along the cheeks, jawline, or neck
Deep wrinkles or folds around the mouth and nose (nasolabial folds)
Loose jowls or double chin
Hollow cheeks or loss of facial volume
Tired or aged facial appearance despite good skincare
Facial ageing is a gradual process influenced by a mix of internal and external factors, such as:
Loss of collagen and skin elasticity with age
Decreased fat volume in cheeks and temples
Sun exposure and UV damage
Smoking or alcohol consumption
Stress and poor sleep
Genetics and hormonal changes
Repetitive facial movements cause expression lines
You should consult a qualified plastic or cosmetic surgeon if:
Non-surgical treatments (like fillers or RF therapy) no longer give results
You want a long-lasting facial rejuvenation
You have visible sagging skin around your jaw or neck
You wish to restore youthful contours and confidence
Before your facelift surgery, your surgeon will conduct a thorough evaluation, including:
Facial assessment (skin tone, elasticity, bone structure)
Photographic documentation for planning
Medical history review
Discussion of aesthetic goals and expectations
Blood tests and anaesthesia evaluation
This ensures a personalized surgical plan that complements your facial structure and desired outcomes.
Do's:
Keep your head elevated to reduce swelling.
Apply cold compresses as advised.
Take prescribed medications regularly.
Follow your surgeon's instructions carefully.
Attend follow-up visits for monitoring.
Don'ts:
Avoid smoking and alcohol, as they delay healing.
Do not bend over or lift heavy objects for two weeks.
Avoid direct sunlight on incision sites.
Do not apply makeup or creams until approved by your surgeon.
Recovery & Outlook
Initial swelling and bruising: 7–10 days
Return to work or travel: 2–3 weeks
Final results: 2–3 months as tissues settle
A well-performed facelift provides natural, youthful results that can last 8–12 years, depending on lifestyle and skin care.
Patients report boosted confidence, enhanced facial harmony, and a refreshed appearance, without looking "overdone."
