An advanced surgical technique that addresses deeper facial tissues, including muscles and fat, rather than just the skin. It lifts and repositions the underlying facial structure, offering comprehensive and longer-lasting results with a natural appearance.

Smoking significantly impairs the body’s ability to heal and increases the risk of complications. To optimize your recovery and reduce the risk of infection, we strongly recommend quitting smoking at least 4-6 weeks before your surgery, and refraining from smoking during your recovery period.

For your safety, all contraceptive pills must be stopped at least one month prior to surgery. This is necessary to reduce the risk of blood clots and to support optimal circulation during your procedure.

Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia, increase swelling, and slow down the healing process. To ensure a smoother surgery and recovery, please limit alcohol intake at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure and refrain from drinking during your recovery period.

Blood-thinning medications, certain supplements, and herbal teas can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery. Please stop taking these at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure. Always consult with your surgeon about any medications or supplements you're currently taking to ensure a safe and effective surgery.

Payments for your procedure should be made in cash. Bank transfers should be done 7 days prior to arrival and if you prefer to pay by credit card, a processing fee will be added to the total amount, and the payment must be processed before your arrival in the country.

A well-balanced, nutritious diet is key to supporting your body’s healing process. Eat nutrient-rich foods in the weeks leading up to your surgery to help strengthen your immune system and prepare your body for the procedure.

It’s important to prepare a comfortable, quiet space for recovery at home. Take time off from work and avoid any strenuous activities to ensure your body can focus on healing. Having a cozy space to rest will help support a quicker and more comfortable recovery.

Upon arrival, you’ll check in, and our team will guide you to the pre-operative area where you’ll change into a surgical gown. Your vital signs will be monitored before the procedure.

A routine blood test will be conducted to ensure you're in optimal health for surgery. This helps assess key factors like blood clotting and general health, which are essential for a safe surgery.

You will meet with your surgeon to confirm the details of your procedure. This is a great time to ask any final questions about the surgery, your aesthetic goals, and the recovery process. Your surgeon will also mark the areas to be treated.

You’ll be given anesthesia, which may be general or local with sedation, depending on the complexity of your surgery. This ensures you’ll be comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.

Once sedated, the surgeon will begin the facelift procedure, which may involve lifting and tightening the skin, repositioning facial muscles, and removing excess skin. The procedure can last from 2-4 hours depending on the type of facelift (full, mini, deep plane, or neck lift).
