What is Facelift Surgery?
Facelift surgery, also known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to tighten, lift and reposition sagging facial skin and underlying tissues to restore a more youthful facial appearance.
At Tara Healthcare, facelift surgery is used to address visible signs of facial ageing including sagging skin, jowls, deeper facial folds, loss of facial definition and changes around the cheeks, jawline and neck. The procedure is individually planned according to the patient's facial anatomy, skin quality and aesthetic goals.

Step-by-Step Facelift
01 Consultation & Planning
The facial areas requiring correction are assessed and marked before surgery.
02 Anaesthesia
General anaesthesia or intravenous sedation may be used for comfort during surgery.
03 Incisions
Incisions are placed in inconspicuous areas and natural folds, including around the ear and within the hairline.
04 Repositioning Facial Tissues
The skin is lifted and deeper tissues, including the SMAS layer, are repositioned to improve facial contour.
05 Closing & Dressing
Excess skin is removed, incisions are closed and dressings/pressure garments are applied to support healing.
Every procedure at Tara Healthcare follows a precise, evidence-based surgical pathway designed for safety and natural results.
Post-Op Expectations
Recovery is gradual and well-structured. Here is what to expect at each stage.
Significant swelling can occur during the initial recovery period. Most swelling subsides during the first week.
Swelling gradually continues to reduce while the facial tissues settle into their new position.
Numbness and tingling can persist for several months as sensation gradually returns.
The results are long-lasting, although natural ageing and gravity continue over time.
Residual swelling - especially at the tip - fully resolves. Your final result is fully visible.
- Smoking before and after surgery
- Activities that may interfere with healing
- Neglecting prescribed skin care
- Ignoring post-operative instructions
- Pressure garment/support as advised
- Post-operative monitoring
- Follow-up consultations
- Skin-care guidance
- Monitoring for swelling, wound healing and complications
