Rhytidectomy

Ageing is natural. But when your reflection no longer matches the vitality you feel inside, a facelift can restore what time has taken. Dr. Bhavya Sree performs modern, minimally-invasive facelifts designed to rejuvenate — not erase — delivering results that look refreshed, natural, and enduringly elegant.

The most common concern patients voice is: 'I don't want to look tight or frozen.' At our clinic, that is never the outcome. The focus is on restoring structure and volume in the right places — the way your face looked 10 to 15 years ago.

What Does a Facelift Address?

Sagging skin along the cheeks and jawline (jowls) Deep nasolabial folds (nose-to-mouth lines) Loss of jawline definition Loose, excess skin under the chin and on the neck Neck bands ( platysmal banding) Overall facial descent and loss of youthful contour

Types of Facelift

SMAS Facelift (Full Facelift) The gold standard. Addresses the deep muscular layer (SMAS) beneath the skin for longer-lasting, natural-looking rejuvenation. Ideal for significant facial ageing. Mini Facelift A shorter-scar procedure targeting the lower face and jowls. Suitable for patients in their 40s with early-moderate ageing. Less downtime, natural result.

Neck Lift Focuses on the neck — tightening loose skin, removing excess fat, and correcting platysmal bands ('turkey neck'). Often combined with a facelift for complete lower-face rejuvenation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do facelift results last?

A well-performed facelift typically lasts 7-12 years. You will continue to age naturally, but will consistently look younger than you would have without surgery. Many patients combine maintenance treatments (fillers, skin boosters) to prolong results.

Is a facelift combined with anything else? Yes — frequently with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), brow lift, fat grafting, or laser skin resurfacing for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation. At what age is a facelift appropriate?

Most patients are between 45 and 70. However, some patients in their early 40s benefit from a mini facelift. Suitability is based on anatomy and degree of ageing, not age alone.
