What Is Facelift Surgery?

Facelift surgery is an aesthetic solution that tightens the skin through direct surgical intervention on the face, widely chosen by many customers to improve sagging, loose skin and multiple wrinkles, restoring a youthful and vibrant appearance. During the procedure, doctors will make a small incision behind the ear or at the temple, then separate excess skin and fat. At the same time, they tighten wrinkled and sagging facial skin, remove excess skin, and suture the area.

With this method, customers can quickly regain a youthful appearance after just one treatment. However, depending on expectations, conditions, and skin status, facelift surgery is indicated for specific groups.

Who Should Undergo Facelift Surgery?

Facelift surgery is suitable for both men and women. However, whether the procedure is appropriate depends on the customer’s health condition and level of aging.

  • With a deeper level of intervention, facelift surgery is optimal for people in their 50s and 60s
  • People experiencing long-term aging, with sagging skin from the jawline down to the cheeks
  • People with poor skin elasticity and multiple wrinkles around the mouth, smile lines, forehead, and eyes
  • People with loose neck skin, neck bands, sagging and drooping

Facelift surgery helps rejuvenate an aging face and quickly restore youthful features. Currently, there are many types of procedures suitable for different individuals. Therefore, customers should carefully assess their skin condition before choosing the most optimal treatment.

What Are the Benefits Compared to Non-Surgical Methods?

Non-surgical facial tightening methods do not use surgical tools but instead apply advanced techniques such as injections and technologies to improve aging and sagging skin without leaving scars, restoring youthfulness after just one treatment. However, these methods are only suitable for mild to moderate conditions, and the results are shorter-lasting.

Compared to non-surgical options, facelift surgery overcomes their limitations with advantages such as:

  • Effectively treating severe aging conditions: sagging skin, neck bands, sunken temples…
  • Tightening facial skin and reducing wrinkles in central areas: temples, forehead, cheeks, neck…
  • Lifting and firming muscles for a fresher, more youthful look
  • Removing excess skin and fat on the face
  • Long-lasting results of up to 10 years

3 Popular Types of Facelift Surgery

Currently, there are various types of facelift surgery, suitable for different cases:

1. Standard Mini Facelift Surgery

This is a traditional minor facelift surgery method widely known by many customers. It is suitable for addressing common skin concerns such as:

  • Wrinkles at the corners of the mouth and smile lines
  • Sagging and loose skin
  • Excess fat in the chin and cheeks
  • Double chin

In a single facelift surgery procedure, doctors will perform local anesthesia and make a small incision along the hairline, usually extending from the temple to behind the ear (to avoid visible scars). Then, the doctor separates the skin, tightens the targeted area, removes excess fat, and sutures the incision. Due to its deeper level of intervention, this traditional method is suitable for individuals over 50.

2. Mini Facelift Surgery

Compared to the method above, this type of facelift surgery is less invasive, less painful, and has a shorter recovery time. To perform a mini facelift surgery, the doctor makes a shorter incision from the hairline to behind the ear, then uses endoscopic techniques to lift targeted muscle groups and tighten them internally.

Mini facelift surgery minimizes scarring and is recommended for cases of aging in the lower jaw area or mild sagging and wrinkling.

3. Endoscopic Facelift Surgery

This method is considered an advanced combination of AI camera technology to accurately identify underlying skin structures and endoscopic lifting techniques to remove excess skin, resulting in firmer and more youthful skin. This type of facelift surgery is often recommended for individuals with poor skin elasticity, sagging, and loose skin in the face and neck areas.

The skin of both cheeks is lifted toward the temples, helping reduce smile lines, firm the cheeks, and create a V-line facial shape.

During the procedure, doctors perform a minor incision at the hairline, locate and tighten muscle groups endoscopically, and fix the muscles in place. Then, they separate the skin and fat, remove excess tissue, and close the incision with absorbable sutures approved by the Ministry of Health. Facelift surgery using endoscopic lifting helps address major aging concerns:

  • Slows down the aging process and improves skin from deep within
  • Removes wrinkles from the nasolabial folds, cheeks, nose, jaw, and chin for a youthful appearance
  • Defines facial contours, enhances facial structure, and eliminates double chin
  • Firms facial muscles, removes excess skin and fat, making the face look up to 10 years younger
