What Is Facelift Surgery
Facelift surgery, or rhytidectomy, is a procedure aimed at tightening sagging skin, reducing wrinkles, and restoring youthful contours to the face. The surgery focuses on the lower half of the face, including the cheeks, jawline, and neck, which often show signs of aging first. The procedure involves making strategic incisions to lift and reposition underlying muscles, remove excess skin, and smooth out deep lines. It can be customized to address specific concerns, offering a natural, refreshed look. With face lift surgery in Dubai, the procedure is performed with attention to detail to ensure lasting, aesthetically pleasing results.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Facelift Surgery
Good candidates for facelift surgery are individuals in good general health who wish to address signs of aging such as facial sagging, deep wrinkles, and loss of skin elasticity. Ideal candidates have realistic expectations and understand that a facelift cannot stop the natural aging process, but rather restores a youthful appearance. Those with sagging skin around the cheeks, jawline, and neck are often the best candidates. A thorough consultation with Dr. Babak Hatami will assess your facial anatomy and goals to determine whether face lift surgery in Dubai is the right choice for you.
Types of Facelift Surgery
There are different types of facelift surgery designed to address specific concerns. Traditional facelifts are the most comprehensive, treating the entire lower face and neck, lifting the skin and tightening the underlying muscles for a natural, youthful look. Mini facelifts focus on smaller areas of the face, such as the jawline and lower cheeks, offering a less invasive option for patients with more moderate signs of aging. Mid-facelifts target the cheeks and nasolabial folds, lifting the middle part of the face for a more refreshed appearance. Face lift surgery in Dubai is personalized to suit each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Full Facelift vs Mini Facelift
A full facelift addresses significant sagging and wrinkles on the entire face and neck, offering a comprehensive rejuvenation. It’s ideal for individuals with advanced signs of aging, requiring larger incisions and a more involved recovery process. A mini facelift, on the other hand, is a less invasive option that targets milder signs of aging, focusing on the jawline and lower cheeks. It requires smaller incisions, offering quicker recovery and a more subtle improvement. Both options provide long-lasting results, but the best choice depends on your age, skin quality, and desired outcome. A personalized consultation will help determine the best approach for you with face lift surgery in Dubai.
Lower Face and Neck Lift Explained
A lower face and neck lift specifically targets the lower part of the face, including the jawline, cheeks, and neck, which commonly show the most visible signs of aging. This procedure is especially effective for individuals with fluctuating skin tone, sagging jowls, and neck bands. The surgery involves strategic incisions along natural lines to lift and tighten both the skin and underlying muscles. The result is a firmer, more defined jawline and smoother, more youthful-looking neck. Face lift surgery in Dubai, focusing on the lower face and neck, provides dramatic improvements with minimal scarring, delivering results that restore youthful contours.

Facelift Surgery Before and After
Before and after photos of facelift surgery typically showcase significant improvements in the lower face and neck, with reduced sagging, smoother skin, and more defined contours. The procedure provides a youthful, revitalized appearance, reducing the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles. Immediately after surgery, patients may experience swelling and bruising, which gradually subsides over the next few weeks. Full results can take several months to fully emerge as the skin settles into its new position. The result is a natural, refreshed look that restores facial harmony. For those interested in face lift surgery in Dubai, before-and-after examples offer a great way to visualize the potential outcomes.
How Facelift Surgery Is Performed
Facelift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. The surgeon makes strategic incisions, often hidden within the hairline or natural folds of the skin, to access and tighten underlying muscles. Excess skin is then carefully removed, and the skin is repositioned for a more youthful, lifted appearance. In some cases, liposuction may be used to remove fat from the neck and jawline for more defined contours. The incisions are then closed with fine sutures, minimizing visible scarring. Each facelift is tailored to the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring natural-looking, long-lasting results from face lift surgery in Dubai.
“Surgery is a delicate balance between art and science. Through every procedure, I strive to respect the natural contours of the body while enhancing its beauty, always guided by the goal of helping my patients feel truly confident in themselves.”

Recovery After Facelift Surgery
Recovery after facelift surgery involves swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which are common but generally subside within the first 2-3 weeks. Patients are advised to rest and follow the surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully, including avoiding strenuous activities, lifting, and bending for the first several weeks. Compression garments may be worn to minimize swelling. Most patients can return to light activities after 1-2 weeks, but full recovery can take several months as the skin settles and final results emerge. Regular follow-ups ensure proper healing. By following post-operative care, patients achieve optimal results from face lift surgery in Dubai.
How Long Do Facelift Results Last
The results of facelift surgery can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years, depending on factors such as age, skin type, and lifestyle choices. While the procedure provides long-lasting improvements in facial appearance, it doesn’t stop the natural aging process. However, it does significantly delay the visible signs of aging and maintain youthful contours for many years. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding sun exposure, and staying hydrated can help prolong results. Regular skincare and non-invasive treatments can also enhance the longevity of your results. Face lift surgery in Dubai provides lasting rejuvenation for those looking to enjoy a youthful appearance over time.

Facelift vs Thread Lift
A facelift and a thread lift both aim to improve facial appearance but differ in technique and results. A facelift is a surgical procedure that involves tightening underlying muscles and removing excess skin, providing more dramatic, long-lasting results for patients with moderate to severe signs of aging. A thread lift, on the other hand, is a non-surgical procedure where threads are inserted under the skin to provide a subtle lift. Thread lifts are less invasive, with shorter recovery times, but the results are typically temporary and not as dramatic as a full facelift. For long-lasting, natural-looking results, face lift surgery in Dubai is ideal for those seeking more comprehensive rejuvenation.
