A Facelift procedure will improve contours leaving the skin looking fresher and younger.

Questions & Answers

Some common questions we get asked about Facelift

The Male Facelift Procedure

At Linia, facelift surgery is generally performed under local anesthetic with or without sedation, depending on the treatment. General anesthetic can also sometimes be used.

Our Surgeons who perform face lift surgery under local anesthetic state that there is minimal distortion due to there being no anesthetic tube and they can make the face move as they want, therefore they believe that this way they can often achieve better results.

Generally, depending on the procedure, incisions are made in the existing skin creases and hair bearing regions surrounding the ear.

The skin is lifted as a flap. The loose fat is re-draped or removed and the muscles tightened and lifted.

Then excess skin is removed and stitched to create a smoother, more refined contour for your neck and jawline.

Self-dissolving sutures are used. You will find that this gets rid of loose skin and problem lines and wrinkles with the overall effect of giving the face and neck a much softer, refreshed and younger look.

Here’s a more detailed look at the different types of facelift surgery:

What will happen after the Facelift operation?

Following your facelift surgery, your surgeon will see you when you have recovered to check that all is well. You’ll be given medication and post-operative instructions and will wear a small bandage over the incision site for 1-2 days. You will also be given appropriate telephone numbers in case you need to contact us at any time.

Week 1-2

Most of our facelift patients resume normal activities within 7 days. It depends on the individual. You will also receive a check-up 7-10 days after your surgery. Most of our surgeons use dissolving stitches. The puffiness and bruising usually clears up in 2 weeks and normal make-up may then be applied.

Weeks 8-10

Your surgeon will see you again, usually 8-10 weeks after the facelift surgery for a full post-operative consultation.

What is the recovery time of a Facelift?

Regardless of what type of facelift you have, it is likely you will have to spend at least one or even two nights in hospital.

Following completion of the procedure, your head and face will be wrapped in bandages for support and you may have to wear those for several days afterwards.

Initially, after the procedure, it’s normal for your face to feel bruised, swollen and sore.

You will be prescribed painkillers to relieve you of this pain and discomfort. In time, the bruising and pain will reduce.

Your surgeon will discuss recovery with you in greater detail, based on the extent of the work you have had done, as well as arranging a follow-up appointment.

Don’t worry if you have any issues or concerns while you are recovering at home, as someone from the team here at Linia will always be available to help you.

You should expect to need 2 weeks off after your facelift surgery.

However, it may be necessary to take 3 weeks off if you also received blepharoplasty surgery.

Regardless of the type of facelift or how extensive the procedure was, you should avoid any form of strenuous exercise or activity for at least 8 weeks.

Although it is not always the case, it may take up to 12 weeks to fully recovery from the bruising, when you will be able to see the benefits and results of the facelift.

As with any surgery, facelifts for men in all their forms are tailored to your individual needs.

Therefore, in order to find out how long the process will take, how long recovery will take and anything else you need to know, we’re more than happy to book you a free consultation with one of our surgeons today.

Which Types of Facelifts Are Available For Men?

You’ll have a similar selection of facelift procedures available to you as women, including:

S Lift
Mini Facelift
Lower Facelift
SMAS (Deep Plane Lift)
MACS (Minimal Access Cranial Suspension)

We discuss each type of facelift surgery further down.

Who are facelifts suitable for?

The Face Lift surgery is suitable for anyone that has one or more of the following:

Jowls or loss of a well-defined jawline
Deep wrinkles in the cheeks and sagging around the cheekbones
Significant sagging of muscles
Loose skin, wrinkles, vertical ‘cords’ or excess fatty tissue in the neck

Does the facelift procedure hurt?

Not at all, the procedure itself is performed under a General Anaesthetic so there is absolutely no pain.

Deep Plane Lift

This type of facelift is used to target specifically severe aging around the neck and cheek along with sagging in general around your face.

It gives you a refreshed and renewed appearance that looks very natural and has long-lasting results.

This involves a cut being made under your face, beneath the muscular layer.

This is the part of your facial skin used in facial expressions, also known as the SMAS layer or Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System and lifts everything, including the skin and fat in one single procedure.

The actual pull takes place deep below the skin surface so it never actually looks like it’s been pulled. As all incisions are made at points along the hairline, they are fairly inconspicuous.

Short Scar or Mini Lift (S-lift / MACS lift)

The short scar or mini lift comes in the form of the mini lift, S-lift or MACS lift (otherwise known as Minimal Access Cranial Suspension).

These forms of facelift require shorter scars and are generally less invasive.

They are particularly recommended if you are still young or have only slight issues of sagging skin and jowling.

The surgeon performing this procedure will use these shorter cuts, that normally stop around the ear area, to resuspend the deep tissues in your face, lifting and then tightening a small amount of any loose skin you have.

Hello Everyone – I recently attended Linia Cosmetic Clinic at Harley Street. Yes! I was scared, nervous and excited at the prospect of an “S” lift, eye procedure and B.A whilst being aware and awake. SOUNDS silly but l enjoyed it, listening to everything being explained and some lovely music of my choice. Most important of all were the staff and Mr Aslam who made you feel relaxed and confident. So anyone considering? GO FOR IT.

Upper Eye Lid Surgery – I would highly recommend Linia they were very efficient from consultation through to the aftercare. I am very pleased with the surgery Dr Aslam carried out. I had the same surgery 10 years ago with Spire with minimal success. Thank you Linia.

Customer Service was excellent, staff were very supportive both prior to and following the procedure, answering any questions, worries or concerns that I had very quickly and thoroughly. Would recommend Linia and would definitely consider other procedures to be performed at Linia

Dr Aslam has been great during this experience. The Linia team and nurse staff have also done all they could to support me. I found having my op under local strange at first (I have a fear of needles). I was very worried – but having it done was great compared to general. My recovery time was much less and I was back to work much sooner than expected.

Local anaesthetic was a much better experience than general. It was more relaxed and less painful. Recovery time was a lot quicker – there was no drowsiness or feeling sick. I would definitely use this option again if needed.
