Tighten Loos Skin and Smooths Out Wrinkles For a Firmer and More Youthful Appearance with Facelift Surgery

About Facelift Surgery

It is common knowledge that the first signs of ageing typically appear on the face.

The smile lines get deeper, the jowls become more prominent, more wrinkles appear, and the skin gets looser.

These changes are also accelerated by sun exposure. Facelift surgery can assist in restoring a more youthful and natural appearance.

Also called “rhytidectomy” a facelift smoothes loose skin and wrinkles on the face and neck, tightens underlying tissues which have become lax and sagging with age, and gets rid of excess fatty tissue.

It removes cheek folds and jowls – the deep lines or folds that run from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth – and redefines the jawline. As a result, your face will appear firmer and more youthful. Facelift surgery performed by Mr Mutimer AM is an inpatient procedure and is performed under General Anaesthetic.

Complementary procedures may include neck lift, facial implants, and fat injections.

Am I A Good Candidate For Facelift Surgery in Australia?

Our facelift surgeons in Melbourne strongly believe that patient education is a key component of your entire plastic surgery experience.

We will assess patients on a case-by-case basis to determine their suitability for their specific procedure, including facelift.

Questions we may need answered include:

Are You in Good Physical Health?

Any kind of cosmetic procedure is still a major surgery. We must ensure you are in good physical health and that any pre-existing health concerns or conditions are accounted for.

What is Your Overall Skin Condition?

Certain skin conditions or habits (such as sun damage and smoking) can impact the condition of the skin. As a result, this may have an effect on the outcome of your procedure.

What is Your Age?

While facelift surgery (along with almost any other kind of surgery) is not measured by age alone, we do find that typically most patients who undergo facelift surgery are aged 40+.

Younger patients may like to explore the possibility of alternative procedures including a mini facelift in Melbourne, which concentrates specifically on the lower part of the face, including the chin and neck.
