Face Lift (Rhytidectomy) Surgery in Delhi

Face lift surgery (rhytidectomy) at Sama Hospital, South Delhi lifts and firms sagging facial tissues, softens deep folds and redefines the jawline for a naturally younger, refreshed look — performed by experienced plastic surgeons in a NABH-accredited hospital.

A face lift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that lifts and firms sagging facial tissues, smooths deep folds, and redefines the jawline and neck for a naturally younger, refreshed appearance. It corrects the visible signs of ageing — loose skin, jowls and deep creases — that non-surgical treatments cannot fully address. At Sama Hospital, results are tailored to look natural rather than over-tightened.

A face lift may suit you if you have sagging mid-face skin, deep creases running from the nose to the mouth, jowls along the jawline, or loose skin under the chin and neck. Ideal candidates are in good general health, non-smokers (or willing to stop), and have realistic expectations. Your surgeon assesses your skin elasticity, facial structure and goals at consultation to recommend the right technique.

• Traditional (full) face lift – comprehensive lifting of the mid-face, jowls and neck.
• Mini face lift – a shorter-scar option for mild-to-moderate jawline sagging.
• Mid-face lift – targets the cheeks and the area beneath the eyes.
• Neck lift – often combined, to tighten loose skin and bands in the neck.

A face lift is performed under general or local anaesthesia with sedation and usually takes two to four hours. The surgeon makes discreet incisions along the hairline and around the ears, repositions the deeper facial tissue layers, and redrapes and removes excess skin so scars are well concealed. Our modern operating theatres, dedicated anaesthesia team and 24×7 critical-care support ensure a safe, closely monitored procedure.

Most patients go home the same day or after an overnight stay. Swelling and bruising settle over one to two weeks, and most people return to social activities in two to three weeks. Results are long-lasting: a face lift effectively refreshes your appearance by years, and while natural ageing continues, you will always look younger than if you had not had the procedure.
