Face Lift Restore Youthful Contours with Advanced Facial Rejuvenation
What Is a Face Lift in Dubai?
A face lift also known as a facelift or rhytidectomy is a surgical cosmetic procedure designed to address visible signs of ageing in the face and neck. Over time, skin naturally loses elasticity, facial tissues descend, and wrinkles deepen, leading to sagging cheeks, jowls, and loose skin around the jawline and neck.
Face lift surgery repositions the deeper facial tissues (SMAS layer), removes excess skin, and redrapes the skin smoothly to restore a firmer, smoother, and more youthful facial appearance. Unlike temporary non-surgical treatments, a surgical face lift delivers comprehensive and long-lasting facial rejuvenation that typically lasts 8 to 10 years.
A face lift is not designed to change your natural facial features. Instead, it enhances your natural appearance by restoring youthful contours, improving facial harmony, and helping you look as young as you feel.

Types of Face Lift in Dubai
At Cocoona, our DHA-certified surgeons recommend the most appropriate facelift technique based on your degree of facial ageing, skin quality, and aesthetic goals:
- Mini Face Lift (MACS Lift)
Also known as Minimal Access Cranial Suspension (MACS), the mini facelift uses a shorter incision around the ear to address mild to moderate facial laxity. Recovery is faster than a full facelift, with results lasting 5 to 7 years. Ideal for patients in their 40s with early facial ageing. - Standard Face Lift (Full Facelift)
The most comprehensive facelift technique. Incisions are placed discreetly along the hairline and around the ear, allowing the surgeon to reposition deeper facial tissues, remove excess skin, and restore significant facial volume and definition. Results typically last 8 to 12 years. - Deep Plane Face Lift
The most advanced facelift technique. The deep plane approach lifts and repositions the deeper SMAS layer and facial ligaments — not just the skin — for more comprehensive and longer-lasting rejuvenation. Best for patients with significant facial laxity. - Combined Face Lift with Neck Lift
Many patients combine a face lift with a neck lift to achieve comprehensive lower facial and neck rejuvenation in a single procedure. This creates a unified, naturally youthful result across the entire face and neck.
Areas Treated
Face lift surgery can address multiple areas of the face and neck, including
- Sagging cheeks
- Jowls along the jawline
- Deep smile lines and folds
- Loose skin on the lower face
- Neck skin laxity
- Loss of jawline definition
By treating these areas together, a face lift restores overall facial balance and a smoother, more youthful profile.

Face Lift Procedure
What to Expect?
- Consultation & Facial Assessment
Your surgeon evaluates your facial anatomy, skin elasticity, and aging patterns to design a personalized plan. - Surgical Day
Small, carefully placed incisions allow access to deeper facial tissues. These tissues are lifted and repositioned, excess skin is removed, and the skin is redraped smoothly. - Precision Rejuvenation
Advanced techniques focus on lifting deeper layers for natural, long-lasting facial support. - Recovery & Aftercare
Swelling and bruising are expected and gradually improve. Compression and post-operative guidance help support optimal healing. - Follow-Up & Long-Term Results
Regular follow-ups ensure proper healing and help maintain long-term facial rejuvenation.
Who Is a Good Candidate
You may be an ideal candidate if you:
- Have sagging facial skin or jowls
- Notice deep facial wrinkles and folds
- Have loose skin around the jawline or neck
- Are in good overall health
- Want long-lasting facial rejuvenation
- Have realistic aesthetic expectations
Patients with mild aging may benefit from less invasive options, while moderate to advanced aging is best treated with surgery.
Face Lift Recovery Timeline
Days 1–3: Swelling, bruising, and tightness across the face and neck. Surgical drains may be present. A compression bandage or garment is worn. Rest at home with head elevated. Avoid any straining.
Days 4–7: Drains removed if present. Bruising begins to change colour and fade. Most patients feel significantly more comfortable. Light daily activities around the home can be resumed.
Weeks 2–3: Most patients return to desk-based work and social activities. Sutures removed during this period. Swelling continues to reduce noticeably and facial rejuvenation becomes more visible.
Weeks 4–6: Light exercise can be gradually resumed. Avoid direct sun exposure and protect the incision lines with sunscreen. Facial contours continue to refine.
Months 3–6: Final results are clearly visible as all residual swelling resolves and tissues fully settle into their new position. Most patients see their best results at 3 to 6 months.
Long term: Facelift results typically last 8 to 10 years. Natural ageing continues but results remain significantly younger-looking than without surgery. Healthy lifestyle, sun protection, and skincare maintain results longer.
Risks and Safety Considerations
Face lift surgery is a major surgical procedure and carries a higher degree of risk than minor cosmetic treatments. At Cocoona, our DHA-certified surgeons follow strict protocols to minimise these risks — and every patient deserves a fully informed decision.
Common side effects (expected and temporary):
- Swelling and bruising — resolves within 2 to 4 weeks
- Temporary numbness or altered skin sensation in the face and neck
- Tightness or pulling sensation during healing
- Visible suture lines — fade significantly within 12 months
Less common risks:
- Haematoma (blood collection beneath the skin) — the most common complication; managed if it occurs
- Facial nerve changes — very rare; our surgeons are highly experienced in anatomically precise techniques
- Wound healing issues — increased risk in smokers; avoided with proper pre-operative preparation
- Infection — very low risk; antibiotics prescribed as standard
How Cocoona minimises your risk:
- All procedures performed by DHA-certified plastic surgeons only
- Comprehensive pre-operative medical evaluation
- Advanced anaesthesia monitoring throughout
- Dedicated aftercare and structured follow-up schedule
