Our face is a canvas of emotions and vitality, unique to each individual. Yet, the passage of time can bring about changes like loss of elasticity, reduced volume, and the emergence of wrinkles, brown spots, and altered skin texture. While these are natural aspects of the aging process, they can manifest prematurely due to genetics or insufficient skincare, prematurely adding years to your appearance.
A facelift, scientifically termed rhytidectomy, is a transformative surgical intervention targeting the removal of excess facial and neck skin. This procedure also involves lifting the underlying tissues to refine facial contours. Known as a SMAS lift, it offers remarkable results. Variations include SMAS plication and deep plane facelift, each serving unique needs. By addressing wrinkles, sagging folds, jowls, a double chin, marionette lines, prominent nasolabial folds, and neckbands, a facelift bestows a rejuvenated and more well-defined facial structure.
Notably, a facelift doesn’t address excess skin or laxity in the forehead and eyelids. To comprehensively address these areas, a blepharoplasty and brow lift procedure can be synergistically combined with facelift surgery. This holistic approach ensures a harmonious and naturally refreshed appearance.
The intricate dance of time on our visage orchestrates a symphony of transformations, encompassing bones, soft tissues, and skin. These elements harmoniously create our facial canvas, yet the passage of years can paint premature signs of aging, often swayed by an array of influential factors.
Sun’s embrace, the unfurling plumes of cigarette smoke, and the intoxicating lure of excess libations can all play a role in hastening the aging process, etching their marks upon our faces. These imprints typically manifest as waning skin elasticity, etched-in wrinkles, the delicate folds of nasolabial and marionette lines, the advent of jowls, the sagging curtain of periorbital skin, the gradual descent of once-lively brows, and the subtle retreat of soft tissue and bone volume.
Enter the realm of Dr. Yasser Khattab’s Facelift in Dubai – a bespoke masterpiece artfully curated to counteract these chronological imprints that can prematurely cloak the face and neck. This all-encompassing facelift opus elegantly addresses the evolving landscape of the mid to lower facial realms and the neck, ultimately gifting a symphony of youth and vibrancy to your countenance.

A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, aims to restore a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance by addressing sagging skin, wrinkles, and other signs of facial aging. It involves tightening the underlying muscles and tissues, as well as removing excess skin.
Ideal candidates for a facelift are individuals who have noticeable sagging or drooping skin in the mid to lower face and neck area. A consultation with Dr. Yasser Khattab will help determine your candidacy based on your specific facial anatomy and desired outcomes.
Yes, there are various facelift techniques, including traditional facelift, SMAS lift, SMAS plication, and deep plane facelift. During your consultation, Dr. Khattab will assess your unique needs and recommend the most suitable technique for you.
The initial recovery period after a facelift is about two weeks, during which you may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. Most patients can resume light activities within this time frame, while more vigorous activities may be gradually resumed after about four weeks.
While a facelift primarily focuses on the mid to lower face and neck, it does not address concerns related to the eyelids or forehead. Procedures such as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and brow lift are often combined with facelift surgery to comprehensively enhance facial rejuvenation.
