As we age, natural changes in the skin may lead to a loss of elasticity, contributing to visible lines, rhytids, and laxity in areas such as the chin and jawline. Several factors, including genetics, environmental conditions, skin quality, stress and the normal ageing process, may affect your skin over time.

Rhytidectomy, or facelifting, removes excess fat, as well as tightens loose skin and facial muscles. Facelift surgery is one option for addressing visible signs of ageing, while non-surgical treatments may offer temporary improvements. Face surgery involves realigning tissues, removing excess fat, and correcting lost volume. In some cases, a facelift may also include eyelid surgery, neck lift surgery, and fat grafting.

Your first step to having a non-surgical facelift is to schedule an appointment with Dr Khan at West Coast Plastic Surgery. Get your GP to send us a referral to apply for a Medicare rebate for your consultation (special conditions apply from Medicare). You can also contact us by phone at 0862303041 or by fax at 0862303042 for facelift surgery. Alternatively, you can send an email to admin@westcoastplasticsuregry.com.au. You will be contacted by a team member to book your appointment, and you can ask any questions you may have about facial lifting or cosmetic surgery.

It is normal to experience some swelling, bruising, irritation, or discomfort during the healing process, which may be managed with medications, cold compresses, and elevating the head. Dr Khan will provide you with specific instructions following your procedure.

Recovery time varies for each individual, but your wound may begin healing within 7-14 days. The time it takes to return to work will depend on your specific job and recovery. Full healing may take several additional weeks.

Fat grafting results may be visible initially, with final results developing as swelling subsides over time. Your incision lines will continue to fade over several months to a year, depending on individual healing.

While the procedure may change the appearance of facial features, you will continue to age naturally after surgery. Regular sun protection and moisturisation can support healthy skin.

Dr Khan will discuss whether fat grafting is an appropriate addition to your facelift based on your needs and preferences.

After your first consultation with Dr Khan, a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs will be developed. You will be provided with the cost for the recommended procedure.
