A facelift (rhytidectomy) tightens and repositions the skin and underlying tissues of the mid-face, lower face, and neck. Dr. Cheema’s technique addresses deep tissue layers — not just the skin surface — to produce results that look natural and last longer. He may combine it with brow lifts, eyelid surgery, or neck lifts depending on your areas of concern.
Patients noticing significant sagging in the cheeks, jowls, or neck. Those with deep folds running from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Patients who have lost facial volume and definition with age. Men and women typically aged 45 and above, though some patients in their late 30s with premature aging may benefit. Skin quality, bone structure, and overall health all factor into candidacy.
Expect 2–3 weeks before you feel comfortable in public. Bruising and swelling are most visible in the first week and resolve progressively. Sutures are typically removed at 7–10 days. Most patients return to normal activities within 3–4 weeks. Results continue to improve over 3–6 months as tissues settle.
