Looking to restore a naturally youthful, refreshed facial contour? Facelift surgery, or rhytidectomy, is the most effective cosmetic surgical procedure to elevate sagging facial tissues, reduce deep skin folds, and redefine a soft jawline. Performed by Prof. Dr. Yawar Sajjad, a leading plastic surgeon in Lahore with over 20 years of clinical experience, this procedure repositions the underlying muscular SMAS layer and removes excess skin to achieve long-lasting, natural-looking facial rejuvenation.
A facelift (rhytidectomy) is an advanced cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reverse visible signs of aging along the lower two-thirds of the face and upper neck. As we age, skin elasticity decreases, facial fat pads descend, and the underlying muscular system gradually slackens, resulting in persistent jowls, deep nasolabial folds, and sagging neck tissue.
During the procedure, Dr. Yawar makes discreet micro-incisions hidden along the natural contours of the ear cartilage and hair-bearing scalp. Rather than simply pulling the skin tight, the deeper structural tissue layer known as the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) is carefully lifted and repositioned. Excess fat is redistributed or removed, and loose skin is trimmed away without creating a wind-blown or over-stretched appearance. For complete body and facial harmony, facial rejuvenation can also be combined with targeted body contouring options like double chin liposuction or general liposuction in Lahore.
Reclaim a firm, defined jawline and a refreshed facial profile with a personalized surgical evaluation. Discuss your aesthetic goals with Prof. Dr. Yawar Sajjad to learn how SMAS structural lifting can rejuvenate your appearance.
While a surgical facelift cannot halt the natural aging process completely, a structural SMAS facelift typically keeps you looking 10 to 15 years younger than your chronological age. Results are long-lasting when paired with proper skin care and a healthy lifestyle.
Scarring is kept minimal and discreet. Incisions are placed in natural skin creases behind the ear tragus and within the hairline, allowing them to blend seamlessly into your natural features over time.
Most patients return to light daily routines and non-strenuous desk work within 10 to 14 days. Fine sutures are removed after 7 to 10 days, while swelling and bruising gradually subside over 3 to 4 weeks.
The procedure is performed safely under general anesthesia or twilight IV sedation, ensuring you feel no pain during surgery. Post-operative discomfort is usually mild and easily managed with prescribed routine pain medications.
