About This Procedure
Facelift surgery is designed for patients with facial laxity, jowling, and loss of definition around the lower face and jawline.
The Soul Place approach is subtle and consultation-led. Dr. Gana’s planning focuses on restoring support and avoiding a pulled or artificial look.
A facelift may be discussed alongside neck lift or eyelid surgery depending on anatomy and goals.

Recovery
Dressings and drains are removed within a few days. Swelling and bruising are significant; rest and head elevation are essential.
Swelling reduces noticeably. Sutures are removed. Most patients feel presentable in social settings by week three.
Work and light activity resume for most patients. Avoid strenuous activity, sun exposure, and alcohol until the team clears you.
Residual firmness and numbness resolve. The rejuvenated result continues to look natural as scars fade over 12 months.
Safety & Scarring
Risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry, numbness, skin-healing problems, hairline changes, and rare nerve injury. Assessment and careful technique are essential.
Have Questions?
A SMAS facelift typically delivers results that last 7–10 years. It does not stop the ageing process, but it effectively resets the clock by repositioning structures that have descended over time. Many patients return for a secondary procedure a decade later.
SMAS technique facelifts look far more natural than older skin-only approaches. The goal at SoulPlace Surgery is always a refreshed, rested appearance — not a stretched or artificial look. Our before-and-after gallery gives a clear idea of what to expect.
Facelift incisions are carefully placed within the hairline, in front of and behind the ears, so they are largely hidden by hair. They typically fade to fine, pale lines within 6–12 months.
Yes. Facelifts are commonly combined with eyelid surgery, brow lift, neck lift, or fat grafting for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation result. Your surgeon will recommend what can safely be combined in one session.
Discomfort is generally mild and well managed with prescribed pain medication. Most patients describe a feeling of tightness and pressure rather than sharp pain. Significant discomfort typically resolves within 5–7 days.
