Facelift
The most common signs of ageing are the lines, wrinkles and loose skin that start to sag.

About Facelift Treatment

The traditional facelift (Rhytidectomy) starts with an incision along your hairline, down past the front of your ears, and into the hairline behind the ears. Positioning of the incision allows the scars to be hidden by hair or blend into the natural creases of the face. Following the incision, the surgeon gently separates the skin from the underlying tissue and tightens the facial muscles. Finally, the excess skin will be removed, and stitches will be applied. Rhytidectomy can be done safely under local anaesthetic for suitable candidates.

"Dr Sherif Elamari and his team were amazing! He took lots of time to explain everything to me the morning of the procedure. The medical team were lovely throughout and the aftercare was great, I could call anytime I had a query. And my facelift looks great! The first 2 weeks were rough and you have to be able to wait out a period of looking strange. For such a reasonable price, i really wasn't expecting much, but 6 weeks later, I look great and nobody would be able to tell I've had it done."
"I visited Signature's Birmingham Clinic, and the entire team was really warm and welcoming when I arrived and checked in. Dr. Carlo Debbas is exceptionally talented and kind, and I am very pleased with my facelift results. Friends and family have complimented my skin and appearance on numerous occasions. My confidence has grown, and I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Carlos Debbas and Signature Clinic."
"I had a fantastic experience (full facelift). The entire process was explained right from the consultation, the surgery, the outcomes, costs, time off etc which made it easy to plan for the surgery."

Facelift FAQ
What aftercare is provided?
After a facelift, will there be visible scarring?
Scarring is maintained to a minimum using the most cutting-edge facelift techniques now available. The locations of the incisions will be carefully chosen to minimise visibility during healing and over time. Both for men and women, they are also very well hidden.
Often, the hairline and the area around the ears are where a facelift leaves scars. This indicates that your hair can help conceal the scars. Your scars will fade and flatten with time and good care, becoming practically undetectable.
