Due to the noticeable signs of aging, which begins early for some in their 40's, this procedure involves the cosmetic surgeon making an incision which starts from the hair, in the temple area, down the curves in front of the ear, round the earlobe and up the back of the ear and then curving gently back into the hair again.

It may be necessary to add an incision under the chin as well. This helps the skin and deep tissues to be remodelled and re-draped. Full cosmetic face lift incisions are well hidden around the ears and the hairline, and these cuts heal well and fade usually between 3 to 6 months.

Surgery for a cosmetic face lift can take between 2 to 5 hours, and it is required to stay in the hospital or clinic for the operation for a few days, depending on the type and extent of the procedure undertaken.

After surgery, there is a regular check up which is mandatory and these check ups are usually free, or will have been included in your bill. Stitches can be removed between 2 or 3 weeks after the surgical procedure.
