Full Facelift is the most comprehensive method for facial skin tightening available today. Skin and underlying tissue structures are the foundation of facial beauty; however, these structures naturally change due to aging. After the age of 35, the aging process leads to wrinkles and sagging as the skin loses its youthful elasticity.
Mega Facelift, also known as full facelift, is the ultimate solution for complete skin rejuvenation. By targeting both the skin and underlying facial structures – the key pillars of facial beauty - this procedure effectively corrects sagging and deep wrinkles. The result is a firmer, remarkably more youthful appearance.
Through this procedure, the doctor removes excess skin and adipose tissue (fat) to create a smoother, tighter complexion. Depending on the level and specific areas affected by aging, the doctor will recommend either a full or partial facelift. This tailored approach ensures the highest aesthetic standard.

Which Facelift Method to Choose?.
Aging manifests differently across various facial zones, including the forehead, cheekbones, temples, chin and neck, or it may affect the entire face. In these cases, Facelift surgery effectively reduces the appearance of wrinkles and restores a youthfulness to the face.
Based on the degree and area of aging skin, the doctor will recommend either a Full or Partial Facelift. This personalized approach ensures the best aesthetic result.
Facial Structure.
Why Choose a Facelift?.
The face is composed of skin, fat, and muscle layered over the facial skeletal structure. Over time, the Collagen network, muscle, and subcutaneous fat naturally shift. Due to sun exposure and other factors - such as aging, stress, etc. - the skin and its underlying tissues gradually lose elasticity. This leads to laxity, saggy and forms hollow areas and deep wrinkles across the face.
Facelift Positions.
There are several positions for facelift, each targeting specific areas of the face.
- Upper Facelift (Brow Lift) aims to rejuvenate the forehead and brow area.
- Mid-Facelift aims to rejuvenate the temples and cheekbones (malar) area.
- Lower Facelift focuses on rejuvenating the chin, neck, and jawline.
- Full Facelift combines both Mid-Facelift and Lower-Facelift.
Pre-Operative Preparation.
- A facelift surgery typically takes approximately 2-3 hours to complete.
- Painless Facelift method: the procedure is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia.
1. Incision Method for a Full Facelift.
In a Full Facelift, the surgical incision follows the temple hairline, extending around the circumference of the ear and into the hairline at the nape of the neck. This method ensures most scars are discreetly hidden within the hair while minimizing their overall size.
2. Tissue Dissection.
Through the incision, the doctor carefully separates the skin from the underlying tissue, carefully dissect and tighten, and securely anchored the SMAS layer.
For patients requiring a neck lift, a small incision is made under the chin, allowing the neck muscle to be sewn and removing sagging tissue.
3. Stretch SMAS Layer for Facial Skin.
SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) is a layer of tissue consisting of the facial muscle and connective tissue. By lifting and tightening this layer, the doctor restores a firm, youthful foundation to the facial muscles.
4. Neck Lift.
Similar to SMAS, the neck muscles are tightened and excess submental fat (double chin) is removed to eliminate sagging.
5. Closing the Incision after Facelift.
The doctor removes the excess skin and closes the incisions using non-absorbable suture.
Post-Operative Care.
- You will wear a specialized hat for a week. This helps reduce swelling and ensures comfort during daily activities. Your face will experience some bruising and swelling, which will gradually subside after one week. The suture should be removed after seven days. Please avoid strenuous activities for the first two weeks.
The Result of a Facelift.
Your face will achieve a naturally rejuvenated appearance after two or three weeks, with the scars fading over time and remaining hidden within the hairline. Simultaneously, a facelift reduces the appearance of wrinkles on the face and neck, restoring the youthful appearance you desire.
>>> To sum up: Full Facelift is currently the most effective method for individuals experiencing significant sagging in the mid and lower facial regions.
While Full Facelift or Endoscopic Facelifts offer the most definitive results, younger individuals under the age of 45 may prefer options like “3D Nano Collagen” or 24K Fold Thread Lifts. These minimally invasive procedures are the latest trends for lifting the mid-face, especially targeting the nasolabial folds (smile lines).
