What to expect
Your timeline, day by day
Typical milestones for an aesthetic-procedure patient. Your surgeon will personalise the plan during your consultation.
Before surgery
Consultation
Surgeon reviews your photos + the simulator preview, sets realistic expectations, and books the procedure date.
Day 0
Procedure
In-clinic procedure under local or general anaesthetic. Most patients go home the same day.
Days 1–7
Early recovery
Swelling and bruising peak around day 3 then start to subside. Most patients work from home this week.
Weeks 2–6
Settling in
Visible swelling resolves; you can return to social commitments + light exercise. Final shape still emerging.
Months 6–12
Final result
Tissues fully settle and the simulated outcome becomes your real face. Follow-up review with your surgeon.

Overview
A facelift (rhytidectomy) addresses sagging skin, deep folds, jowling, and loss of muscle tone in the lower face and neck. Modern techniques operate at the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer for natural, long-lasting rejuvenation.
Three main approaches are offered: Mini facelift (limited incisions, targets early jowling), SMAS facelift (standard approach for moderate aging), and Deep Plane facelift (the gold standard for comprehensive, long-lasting rejuvenation that repositions deeper tissue planes).
Our simulator models tissue repositioning, skin re-draping, and volumetric changes across 468 anatomical landmarks. It visualizes jowl reduction, nasolabial fold softening, midface lift, marionette line correction, and neck tightening for all three surgical approaches.
Key Benefits
- Comprehensive facial rejuvenation targeting multiple aging signs
- Long-lasting results (10-15 years for deep plane)
- Natural-looking outcomes that avoid a "pulled" appearance
- Can be combined with neck lift and fat grafting
Pros & Cons
Pros
- +Most effective procedure for reversing facial aging with longest-lasting results
- +Patients report looking an average of 12 years younger with 97% satisfaction
- +Results typically last 10–15 years
- +Modern techniques use smaller incisions with shorter recovery
- +Can be combined with fat grafting for extended longevity
Cons
- −Major surgery requiring general anesthesia with 2-week initial recovery
- −Significant cost ($7,000–$15,000+) and not covered by insurance
- −Does not stop aging — turns back the clock but aging continues
- −Risks include nerve damage, hematoma, infection, and hair loss near incisions
- −Visible scarring possible around ears and hairline
Who Is This For?
Patients experiencing moderate to significant facial aging including jowling, deep nasolabial folds, and neck laxity who desire comprehensive rejuvenation.

Common Patient Questions
Will it look natural?
Our 468-point mesh constrains deformation to anatomically valid ranges, preventing unnatural outcomes.
How accurate is the simulation?
Faceify achieves 0.04mm RMSD accuracy across validated facial landmarks.
