What is a Facelift?
A facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that targets facial muscles to tighten loose skin, remove excess skin, and reduce signs of aging such as wrinkles or fine lines. Facelift treatment involves a variety of procedures that target specific areas of your face. Facelift treatment aims to make saggy skin, wrinkles, fine lines, and dull skin appear firm and more unified. A facelift can be minimally invasive or surgical, depending on the type of procedure you choose.
Types of Facelift treatment:
There are several types of facelift procedures:
Deep Plane Facelift:
Deep plane facelift is a surgical procedure that aims to restore strength to the lax muscles located at the base of your chin and neck. This allows saggy skin to disappear and look firmer and healthier.
Mini-facelift:
A mini-facelift is a surgical procedure that involves making tiny incisions underneath the hairline. The surgeon then carefully repositions and tightens your skin while eliminating any excess tissue. It is commonly advised for patients who are looking to get rid of jowls.
Mid-facelift:
This is also a surgical procedure that involves the removal of excess tissue that is causing sagging. Mid-facelift targets the mid section of the face, primarily the cheeks. It is a good way to get rid of sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles. Mid-facelift can also be combined with procedures that eliminate jowls to get a remodelling of the lower face.
Cheek lift:
Cheek lift is similar to a mid-facelift. It aims to enhance the appearance of cheekbones, nasal folds, and remove excess tissue that is causing sagging or wrinkles.
Jawline rejuvenation:
Jawline rejuvenation targets the neck muscles primarily. It aims to remove fat deposits that cause the neck to appear saggy and large, and helps in toning your jawline.
S-Lift:
The treatment is done by making incisions in an S-shape in the lower face around the neck and jawline. This separates the top layer of the skin and allows the surgeon to tighten it by contouring the muscles and removing excess fat cells, making the skin appear healthier and firmer.
Cutaneous Lift:
A cutaneous lift also aims at the lower half of your face, including the neck and jawline. It involves making incisions randomly, separating the top layer of the skin from the muscles below. The surgeon removes excess skin and stretches the remaining skin backwards to the incision area, which gives the skin a tighter and firmer look.
Temporal/Brow Lift:
Small incisions are made along the hairline, and the skin is stretched upwards to “lift” the brows. A brow lift or a temporal lift affects both the temples and the eyebrows during the same procedure. It is a good alternative to a simple eyebrow lift treatment.
Liquid Facelift:
Liquid facelift is a nonsurgical procedure where the skin is injected with a rejuvenation liquid (such as Botox). These liquids are usually measured concentrations of collagen or hyaluronic acid that promote neocollagenesis (the body’s ability to produce collagen).
Areas that Facelift treatment Dubai Targets:
Facelift treatment targets the entire face, with multiple procedures targeting specific areas. These areas include:
- Eyebrows
- Temples
- Cheeks
- Neck
- Jawline
- Nasal folds
- Jowls
How does a facelift procedure work?
A surgical facelift involves making incisions on the targeted portion of the face and removing excess tissue, stretching the skin, or simply removing excess skin to make the contour more prominent.
A nonsurgical facelift (liquid facelift) usually involves using injectables that help produce collagen and promote skin elasticity. These injectables may be Botox, Restylane, or Dysport.
Cost of Facelift treatment in Dubai:
The Facelift Surgery Cost in Dubai varies between 15,000 AED and 32,600 AED. Facelift treatment is usually done in conjunction with a necklift surgery. Here is a breakdown of facelift surgery pricing:

Factors affecting the Cost of Facelift treatment in Dubai:
The following factors affect Facelift procedure prices in Dubai
Procedure type:
Surgical procedures cost more but hold permanent results, while minimally invasive/non-surgical procedures require recurring visits to the doctor as they do not hold permanent results.
Combination Procedures:
Facelift treatment is often done in conjunction with one or more surgeries. For instance, necklift+facelift are common. Since facelift procedures target portions of the face, it is common to have more than one procedure. This adds to the prices of the procedures and causes variations.
Medications:
Cost also varies depending on what medications are advised and what type of anesthesia is administered.
Skin Tightening:
Facelift treatment cost is also variable based on the level of tightening or fat removal required. The severity of the case determines how high the prices can go.

Procedure – How is Facelift Surgery performed?
Facelift surgery is performed in a step-by-step manner:
Step 1: Preoperative Consultation
The surgeon first assesses your skin and determines what kind of procedure would suit you and your skin. You might be asked questions about your routine medications, allergies, and expectations regarding your facelift procedure.
Step 2: Anesthesia
Once the procedure type has been decided, the patient is first administered anesthesia at the surgical site to minimize pain during the surgery.
Step 3: Making incisions
The surgeon then makes incisions at the surgical site.
Step 4: Reshaping, repositioning, removing
Based on the type of procedure, the surgeon reshapes and repositions the muscles under the skin and removes any excess fat or skin that might be a hindrance to achieving the desired contour.
Step 5: Closing the incisions
The incisions are closed with sutures after the muscle and contour have been redesigned.
Non-surgical Facelift (Botox/injectables):
A non-surgical facelift is performed by injecting the skin with Botox, which triggers neocollagenesis. Neocollagenesis refers to the process by which the body produces collagen. These injections promote collagen production and skin elasticity, giving the skin a firmer look.
Pre-care before the surgery:
Follow the guidelines as directed by your surgeon. Facelift surgery does not need prior preparation as it is a cosmetic surgery.
After-care for Facelift Surgery:
Post-surgery aftercare is essential for recovery and fully achieving the desired results. Aftercare for facelift surgery includes:
- Keep your head elevated slightly in the initial days
- Keep the incisions clean
- Avoid alcohol and smoking during recovery
- Use medications as prescribed by your doctor for pain management
- Avoid public gatherings during recovery
- Schedule follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor wound healing
