What is a facelift?
A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce visible signs of ageing by tightening underlying muscles, repositioning facial tissues, and removing excess skin. This creates a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance.
A facelift can improve sagging cheeks, deep folds around the nose and mouth, jowls along the jawline, and loose skin around the neck. It is highly individualised, so no two facelifts are the same. Your consultant will carefully assess your features, skin condition, and personal goals, before recommending the most appropriate technique.
The goal is always a natural-looking result. Rather than changing the way you look, a facelift refreshes your appearance, so you look like yourself – just younger, firmer, and more well rested.
How much does a facelift cost at Ross Hall Hospital, Glasgow?
The cost of a facelift depends on the type of procedure, its complexity, and whether it is combined with other treatments such as eyelid surgery or a brow lift. At Ross Hall Hospital, we are committed to transparent pricing, so you will always receive a clear breakdown of costs upfront.
We also understand that affordability is important. That’s why we offer flexible payment plans, including monthly instalments and interest-free options, to help make private cosmetic surgery more accessible. Our advisors are happy to talk through the options available and find a plan that works for you.
What is a mini facelift?
A mini facelift is a less invasive option that focuses on the lower face, particularly the cheeks and jawline. It is often recommended for people in their 40s or 50s with mild to moderate sagging who want noticeable improvements without the recovery time of a full facelift.
The procedure involves smaller incisions, usually hidden around the ears, and is quicker to perform. Because it is less extensive, recovery is shorter and there is generally less bruising and swelling. While results do not last as long as a full facelift, a mini facelift can restore youthful definition to the lower face and provide a refreshed appearance for 5–7 years.
Your consultant will explain whether a mini facelift could be the right choice for you, or whether a full facelift would better meet your needs.
How long does a facelift last?
The results of a facelift are long-lasting, though they cannot stop the natural ageing process. On average:
- A full facelift can last 8–10 years
- A mini facelift usually lasts 5–7 years
Your age, skin quality, lifestyle, and overall health will all play a role in how long your results last. Protecting your skin from the sun, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and avoiding smoking can all help prolong your results.
Your consultant will also discuss aftercare and maintenance, which may include skin care, non-surgical treatments, or other procedures that can enhance and extend the outcome of your facelift.
Am I suitable for a facelift?
A facelift may be suitable for you if you are concerned about sagging skin, deep lines, or a loss of definition in your face and neck. Ideal candidates are generally in good overall health, do not smoke, and have realistic expectations about the results.
During your consultation, your surgeon will take a detailed medical history, assess your skin and facial structure, and discuss your personal goals. They will explain the different options available, from a mini facelift to a full facelift, and help you decide what is right for you. Choosing to have cosmetic surgery is a big decision, and we’re here to give you all the information you need to make it.
If you are not suitable for surgery, your consultant may recommend less invasive treatments that can still provide meaningful results.
Are there risks with facelift surgery?
Like any surgical procedure, a facelift carries some risks. These may include infection, bruising, swelling, numbness, or scarring. However, serious complications are rare when the procedure is carried out by an experienced surgeon.
At Ross Hall Hospital, patient safety is our top priority. Your consultant will explain all the potential risks and benefits during your consultation, so you can make an informed decision. You’ll also receive detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to ensure your recovery is smooth and well supported.
