Face Lift

Face lift surgery in Melbourne is available at Define Dermatology & Aesthetics with Specialist Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon Mr Ian Loh. Mr Loh provides thorough, personalised consultations to discuss whether face lift surgery is appropriate for your individual circumstances, goals, and anatomy.

What is a face lift?

A face lift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that addresses visible changes in the face and neck associated with ageing. It involves repositioning underlying facial tissues and removing excess skin to improve facial contour and definition.

Like all surgical procedures, face lift surgery carries risks. Mr Loh will explain these in full during your consultation so you can make a fully informed decision.

Am I a suitable candidate?

Suitability for face lift surgery is assessed on an individual basis. During your consultation Mr Loh will review your medical history, facial anatomy, and personal goals to determine whether surgery is appropriate for you.

Surgery is not suitable for everyone and Mr Loh will provide honest, individualised advice based on your circumstances.

What does the procedure involve?

Face lift surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. The surgical approach varies depending on the areas being addressed and your individual anatomy. Mr Loh will explain the technique he recommends and what it involves during your consultation.

Recovery and aftercare

Recovery from face lift surgery varies between individuals and typically involves swelling and bruising in the initial weeks. Mr Loh and his team will provide detailed post-operative instructions and support throughout your recovery. Specific recovery timelines and restrictions will be discussed during your consultation.
