Facelift or Neck Lift Procedure
Treatment Overview
A full facelift is a procedure that involves raising the skin of the face and tightening the underlying SMAS layer. The skin is then redraped, and any excess skin trimmed.
The scars of a facelift are usually well hidden in the hairline and around the ear. A rhytidectomy or facelift is a procedure to tighten and lift the skin of the lower face. As we age, a number of changes take place with our face. The face, in particular the cheeks, begins to lose volume. The main bulk of the cheek volume also moves downwards with gravity. The skin loses its elasticity and so becomes more loose and sags more. Consequently, the nasolabial folds (nose-to-mouth lines), marionette lines (angle of mouth lines), and jowls begin to appear. Most patients undergoing this procedure will be between 40 to 60 years of age. They will have started to experience sagging of the skin around the lower face and neck.
“I can’t thank my surgeon Dr Reza Sedghi Nassab, he’s been fantastic, answered all my questions, made me feel at ease & felt in safe hands. He’s a very good surgeon with a lovely bedside manner.”
The mini procedure involves the removal of skin from the face and tightening of the underlying tissues. The extent of a mini procedure is much less than a full one. This means that not all patients may be suitable for this, and the results will be more subtle. The mini facelift can be performed under local anaesthesia and as a day case procedure. The full lift procedure will require a general anaesthetic.
A surgeon's technical mastery and aesthetic judgment determine the difference between results that look “done” and results that simply look like you — but younger.
Advanced Technique
Mr Nassab offers both SMAS and deep-plane facelift approaches, selecting the technique best matched to your anatomy. Deep-plane releases address significant midface descent for more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Revitalize and Renew
A comprehensive consultation initiates the process, ensuring a deep understanding of your unique aesthetic goals, which guides the tailored approach to the facelift. Under carefully administered anesthesia, you'll experience a procedure designed for comfort and relaxation. Precisely placed incisions facilitate the lifting and tightening of facial tissues, effectively addressing sagging and wrinkles. The focus extends to elevating facial muscles, resulting in a natural and youthful appearance that restores harmony to your facial contours. Mr. Nassab's expertly placed sutures contribute to seamless healing, and our dedicated team guides you through a personalized recovery plan, ensuring optimal results.
The Final Flourish of Timeless Elegance
After a facelift procedure, you might not see the results right away. This is because there can be swelling and bruising initially, which will take some time to go down.
You may start to see improvements after the first month, but it can take a few weeks for your initial recovery. As the swelling goes down, you will notice more and more improvement in your appearance. However, everyone's recovery time is different, so it's important to follow your surgeon's instructions carefully to get the best possible results. The results of a facelift can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years, depending on factors like your genetics, lifestyle, and skin health. While a facelift can make a big difference in your appearance that lasts a long time, it can't stop the natural aging process. So, you may need additional treatments in the future to help maintain your youthful look.
Facial Renewal
Post-Facelift, rest assured your aftercare at Reza Nassab Plastic Surgery provides optimal healing and satisfaction. Throughout this phase, anticipate some initial discomfort meticulously managed to facilitate a smooth recovery process. Benefit from monitoring by our dedicated team, addressing any concerns and ensuring a safe and steady recovery. Follow personalized post-procedural care instructions, incorporating gentle practices to enhance healing and minimize downtime. Gradually resume normal activities, guided by our team's expertise, ensuring a seamless transition towards enjoying the enduring results of your facelift.
There are a number of different types of facelifts that have been described. These include the one-stitch lift; puppet lift; liquid facelift; mini-facelift; SMAS lift; and MACS lift, to name a few. The one-stitch, thread, and puppet lift procedures are regarded as minimally invasive options that involve placing threads underneath the skin to lift it. These are generally performed in our clinic under local anaesthetic. The effects of this type of procedure may last uwp to 2 years. The liquid facelift refers to the use of fillers to replace volume and help provide some lift to the sagging skin. This again has a relatively short term effect lasting up to 12 to 18 months. There are also new technology procedures, such as the FaceTite or Morpheus8, that use radiofrequency for skin tightening.
A thread lift is a procedure that involves placing a special thread just underneath the skin. The skin can then be pulled over the thread to lift the sagging skin and improve the jowls. Thread lifts are also temporary and will last for about 1 year.
There is a popular phrase amongst plastic surgeons that ‘it will turn back the clock but will not stop it ticking.’ This means that although the effects will be long-standing for several years the ageing process will continue. The results from less invasive procedures will be less than a full facelift.
The procedure's cost may slightly vary based on your personalized procedure, with prices starting from £14,500. For more details, schedule a consultation with Mr. Nassab.
Good candidates are generally in good overall health, non-smokers or willing to stop smoking around the time of surgery, and have realistic expectations about outcomes. Most patients are between 40 and 65 years of age with jowling, jawline laxity, midface descent or neck sagging that has become difficult to address non-surgically. A thorough consultation with Mr Nassab will assess your anatomy, skin quality and overall suitability.
An SMAS facelift lifts and tightens the superficial muscular aponeurotic system — the layer of tissue just below the skin. A deep plane facelift goes further, releasing the deeper ligamentous attachments to allow the repositioning of tissues at a deeper level. This can address more significant midface descent and deeper nasolabial folds with results that tend to look more natural and last longer. Mr Nassab will advise on the most appropriate technique for your anatomy at consultation.
Yes — facelift is frequently combined with other procedures for a more comprehensive rejuvenation. Common combinations include a neck lift (to improve neck bands and cervicomental angle), blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), fat grafting to restore facial volume, and skin resurfacing. Combining procedures in a single surgical session means one anaesthetic, one recovery period, and balanced overall results. Mr Nassab will recommend the optimal plan at your consultation.
As with all surgery, facelift carries risks. These include bleeding and haematoma (one of the most common complications), infection, wound healing issues, scarring, asymmetry, and temporary or — rarely — permanent nerve weakness affecting facial movement or sensation. Skin loss is rare. Mr Nassab will discuss your individual risk profile in full at your consultation, and operates in an accredited hospital environment to minimise risk.
Facelift incisions are carefully planned and placed around the ear, within the ear contour, and into the hairline to conceal scarring as much as possible. With proper wound care and scar management following surgery, scars typically fade to become fine, discreet lines over 6–12 months. The majority of patients find their scars are well hidden by the ear and hairline.
Immediately after surgery there will be swelling, bruising and some tightness that temporarily masks your results. Most patients begin to see meaningful improvement from around 4–6 weeks as the swelling settles. However, final results continue to refine over 3–6 months as residual swelling fully resolves and the skin settles into its new position. The results that emerge are designed to look natural and last many years.
Pricing depends on the technique selected, whether additional procedures are combined, and anaesthetic requirements. All-inclusive quotes are provided after your consultation.
