Facelift surgery is performed under general or local anesthetic and usually spans between 2 to 4 hours. Typically, there are two main types of facelift surgery.

• Full Facelift: A full facelift will necessitate a surgical incision that extends from your hairline to the front of your ears and down into the hairline behind the ears. Owing to meticulous incision placement, the scars will be obscured within your hair and natural folds of your face and will fade rapidly until it is barely visible.

• Mini Facelift: In this technique, tiny surgical incisions are made by Mr Ammar Allouni to tighten your facial muscles and remove surplus fat from your face.

During your first appointment at our clinic, Mr Ammar Allouni will clarify all your questions regarding the procedure. He will recommend surgery only if it is the best option for you.
