Anti-aging & lifting

Incisional facelift

Incisional lifting at VIEW suits patients with clear skin laxity. The surgery lifts the deeper tissue and SMAS layer for a firmer, more youthful face, with longer-lasting results than non-surgical lifting.

Who it suits

  • Noticeable sagging of face and neck skin
  • Nasolabial folds and jawline definition loss
  • Wanting results lasting 5–10 years

Technique highlights

  • SMAS lift for long-lasting, natural results
  • Incisions hidden in the hairline and behind the ear
  • Can be combined with facial fat grafting

Surgical steps

  • Analyse sagging points and plan the lift
  • General anaesthesia and SMAS lift
  • Remove excess skin and close incisions
  • Recover in the recovery room

Recovery & aftercare

  • Swelling and bruising for 2–3 weeks
  • Return to daily life in 2–3 weeks
  • Final result settles in 2–3 months

Risks & things to consider

  • Scars may be visible initially but fade over time
  • The procedure does not stop ageing

Frequently asked questions

How is incisional lifting different from non-incisional lifting?

Incisional lifting lifts the deeper SMAS layer and removes excess skin, giving long-lasting results for clear sagging. Non-incisional methods tighten superficial skin with devices and suit early ageing.
