What it is and how it is performed
What It Is
The face lift is an aesthetic surgery procedure that repositions and tightens the deep tissues of the face and neck to correct skin laxity, deep wrinkles, and loss of facial contour, rejuvenating the face in a natural and long-lasting way. It is the ideal solution if you have sagging cheeks and jawline, loss of facial contour, deep nasolabial folds, pronounced grooves, or the classic “turkey neck.” Perfect for those seeking a transformative and permanent result that restores the skin’s luminosity and firmness of youth, with a rested and natural appearance, not “pulled.”
The face lift is one of the most effective procedures for comprehensive facial rejuvenation, with results that last many years.
How It Is Performed
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia in a facility with an overnight stay. The surgeon makes incisions hidden along the hairline (in the front and upper part) and behind the ear (completely invisible). Through these incisions, the surgeon gently lifts and repositions the deep layers of the face (muscles and subcutaneous tissues), removes excess skin, and redistributes fat to restore volumes and contours. The result is a rejuvenated face, with redefined contours and a natural appearance.
The technique is conservative: the surgeon respects the natural structures of the face, creating a harmonious result that does not appear “pulled” or “unnatural.”

Benefits of the treatment
Post-procedure
WHAT TO AVOID:
- For the first 3 weeks: avoid physical exertion, lifting weights, and intense physical activity
- For the first 3 weeks: avoid keeping your head down (forward, bent) as it increases swelling
- For the first 2-3 weeks: avoid direct heat (sauna, hot baths, direct sun)
- For the first 10 days: avoid touching, massaging, or applying pressure to the face
- Always avoid: smoking and alcohol during healing as they compromise scarring
POST-PROCEDURE PRECAUTIONS:
- Wear a compression bandage for the first 3-5 days to support the tissues and reduce swelling
- Sleep with your head elevated (at least 3-4 pillows) for the first 5-7 days to reduce swelling
- Apply cold compresses to the face for 15-20 minutes every 2-3 hours in the first 2 days to reduce swelling and bruising
- Stitches are removed between 7 and 10 days during a follow-up visit
- Take antibiotics and pain relievers as prescribed by the surgeon
- Keep the area clean but gentle during healing
- Avoid makeup and aggressive facial treatments for at least 2-3 weeks
- You can resume light activities after 2 weeks
- Sports and intense physical activity can resume after 4-6 weeks
- Protect your face from the sun with SPF 50+ for at least 3 months to avoid discoloration
- Normal reactions that disappear naturally: maximum swelling (5-7 days), bruising (2-3 weeks), feeling of soreness and tightness (1-2 weeks), temporary numbness of parts of the face (resolves within a few weeks)
