Facelift Surgery
Facelift surgery, also known as rhytidectomy, is one of the most effective treatments for individuals over the age of 40 who wish to rejuvenate their appearance and reverse visible signs of aging. At Dr. Zameer’s Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery Clinic in Lahore, our goal is to help you achieve a refreshed, youthful, and natural-looking face that enhances your confidence.
A facelift is designed to lift and tighten sagging facial tissues, reposition the underlying muscles, and remove excess skin to create smoother, firmer contours. The procedure helps restore the “inverted triangle of youth”, giving the face a balanced, lifted, and rejuvenated appearance.
What Does a Facelift Do?
Over time, facial skin loses its elasticity, and underlying tissues begin to sag due to aging, gravity, and sun exposure. A facelift surgery in Lahore by Dr. Zameer effectively targets these changes by:
-
Lifting the jowls and redefining the jawline for a firmer lower face
-
Tightening the SMAS layer (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System), which supports facial structure and muscles
-
Removing lax skin to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines
-
Elevating the midface to restore volume and youthful contours
-
Reducing deep creases around the mouth and chin
-
Improving facial harmony by enhancing definition in the cheeks and lower face
The result is a naturally rejuvenated look—not stretched or artificial—helping patients look younger, more vibrant, and refreshed.
Facelift Procedure – How It Works
During a facelift surgery, Dr. Zameer makes small, discreet incisions along the hairline and around the ears to access the deeper facial layers. The underlying SMAS tissue is repositioned in an upward direction, while excess skin is gently trimmed and redraped. This technique creates a firm, youthful lift without over-tightening the skin.
The procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of correction needed. Recovery usually takes one to two weeks, and most patients can return to normal activities within two to three weeks with minimal downtime.
Common Aging Concerns Addressed by a Facelift
A facelift is ideal for individuals experiencing:
-
Generalized facial skin laxity
-
Drooping or sagging jowls
-
Ptosis (drooping) of the midface and malar tissues
-
Deep nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to mouth)
-
Wrinkles around the mouth (perioral wrinkles)
-
Downturned corners of the mouth (oral commissures)
-
Deep labiomental creases (lines between the lower lip and chin)
While a facelift greatly improves facial contours and tightness, it has limited effect on the nasolabial folds, which may require complementary treatments such as dermal fillers or fat grafting for optimal results.
