Facelift
Loose lower-face skin and less defined jawline
A facelift addresses sagging facial tissues. It does not stop ageing or automatically correct eyelid concerns.

Changes around the eyes, cheeks and jawline can have different causes. Loose skin, a lower brow and reduced facial volume may look similar in a photograph but need different assessments. Use this overview to describe your concern before exploring the detailed guide for each procedure.
Start with what you want to change
Compare the purpose and limits of each option. An examination determines which, if any, is suitable for you.
Choose the concern before the operation
Tell the surgeon which change matters most and what you would prefer to preserve. Bring a list of medicines, previous procedures and relevant eye conditions. Examination helps separate skin laxity, volume loss and brow or eyelid position; one procedure may not address all of them.
Plan recovery around real commitments
Discuss scars, swelling, time away from work, help at home and follow-up before arranging travel or a major event. Ask about procedure-specific risks, including bleeding, infection, altered sensation, asymmetry and eye-related complications where relevant. The expected benefit and risks should be clear before consent.
Questions to bring to your consultation
Do I need eyelid surgery or a brow lift?
The answer depends on whether the concern comes mainly from eyelid skin, brow position or both. An in-person examination is more useful than choosing from photographs alone.
Can facial procedures be combined?
Sometimes, but a combined operation is not automatically the right choice. Health, surgical extent and recovery support determine whether one operation or staged treatment is more appropriate.
A consultation starts with your priorities
Describe what bothers you, your medical history and the time you can allow for recovery. An examination helps establish whether surgery is suitable, which options are reasonable and whether treatment should be staged. Ask about scars, complications, follow-up and the full cost before making a decision.
