Commonly Asked Questions
A clear guide that helps you understand facelift options, recovery timelines, healing expectations, and the natural results you can look forward to after treatment.
What is a facelift surgery?
A facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that lifts and tightens sagging facial skin and underlying tissues. It helps reduce visible signs of ageing and restores a more youthful facial contour.
Who is an ideal candidate for a facelift?
Individuals with loose facial skin, deep folds, or sagging around the cheeks and jawline may benefit from a facelift. Good overall health and realistic expectations are important.
At what age should someone consider a facelift?
There is no fixed age for a facelift. The decision depends more on facial ageing signs, skin quality, and personal concerns than on age alone.
Will a facelift make your face look unnatural?
When performed by Dr. Manoj Khanna, an experienced surgeon, a facelift enhances natural features without changing your identity. The goal is a refreshed and balanced appearance.
How long does facelift surgery take?
The procedure usually takes two to four hours, depending on the technique and whether additional treatments are combined. Your surgeon will discuss this in advance.
Is facelift surgery painful?
The surgery is performed under anaesthesia, so pain during the procedure is not felt. Mild tightness, swelling, or discomfort after surgery is common and manageable.
What is the recovery time after a facelift?
Most patients return to normal routines within two to three weeks. Swelling gradually reduces, and final results continue to improve over time.
Are there visible scars after a facelift?
Incisions are carefully placed along the hairline or natural skin creases. Over time, scars usually fade and become minimally noticeable.
How long do facelift results last?
Facelift results can last several years, depending on lifestyle, skincare habits, and natural ageing. The procedure does not stop ageing but slows visible changes.
Can a facelift be combined with other procedures?
Yes. A facelift is often combined with eyelid surgery or non-surgical treatments for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
What are the risks associated with facelift surgery?
As with any surgery, there are some risks, such as swelling or bruising but these usually subside within a few days. Serious complications are uncommon when performed by a qualified specialist.
Is a consultation required before facelift surgery?
Yes. A consultation helps assess suitability, discuss expectations, and plan the safest and most effective treatment approach.
