A facelift may be appropriate if sagging skin on the jawline, neck, or under the chin is causing concern due to aging. Facelifts are performed on both women and men. Most patients undergoing a facelift are between 45 and 70 years old, but excellent results can also be achieved for those over 70.
A facelift, or lower face and neck lift, can address:
It is advisable to discuss the suitability of the procedure with a plastic surgeon if you have high blood pressure, blood clotting disorders, wound healing issues, or excessive scar formation, such as keloids.
Treatment of nasolabial folds
Nasolabial folds, which extend from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, are often treated with fillers that smooth the lines and restore skin volume. If the skin and the underlying soft tissues have significantly sagged, forming deep lines or distinct folds, the best solution might be a surgical lift.
Treatment of marionette lines
Marionette lines, which run downward from the corners of the mouth, can easily make the face appear sad or tired. These are often treated with fillers, but for deeper and more pronounced lines, a more effective solution might be a surgical procedure, such as fat transfer and a lower face lift.
Neck tightening and firming
The skin on the neck is delicate and prone to signs of aging, such as sagging and wrinkles. A surgical neck lift removes excess skin and tightens tissues. Neck treatments are often combined with facelifts to achieve a harmonious result.
If necessary, other procedures, such as upper eyelid surgery or facial fat transfer, can be performed alongside a facelift.
A brow lift, or forehead and eyebrow lift, addresses functional and aesthetic concerns caused by drooping eyebrows.
Facelifts can be performed using various techniques. The operating plastic surgeon selects the technique based on the discussed aesthetic goals and individual characteristics.
In the recovery room, the patient’s condition is monitored, and pain relief is provided as needed. Skilled staff ensure that post-operative recovery proceeds as smoothly and safely as possible.
The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. An anesthesiologist monitors the patient’s condition during and after the surgery. A facelift may require an overnight stay at Mehiläinen’s hospital ward or recovery room.

During a facelift, the skin on the face and neck is tightened, and excess skin is removed. The procedure may also involve lifting deeper tissues and removing excess fat. This improves facial contours and rejuvenates the appearance.
A facelift helps reduce signs of aging, such as sagging skin and deep wrinkles. It enhances the contours of the face and neck, which can boost self-confidence and create a more youthful appearance. While a facelift does not stop the aging process, the results are typically satisfying for many years.
Preparation begins with a consultation with a plastic surgeon, where your health status and aesthetic goals are discussed. Smoking and certain medications should be discontinued before the surgery. It is also important to follow the plastic surgeon’s instructions, such as avoiding significant weight fluctuations.
Recovery usually takes 3–4 weeks, but bruising and swelling may subside within two weeks. The final results will be visible several months after the surgery. Light daily activities can be resumed during the first week.
A facelift is generally suitable for individuals aged 45–70, but older patients can also benefit from the procedure. Certain health conditions, such as high blood pressure or excessive scar formation, may be contraindications. An initial consultation with a plastic surgeon is essential to assess suitability.
Thousands of women and men undergo facelifts each year with excellent results. However, all surgeries carry risks. The plastic surgeon will discuss these risks during the initial consultation, allowing you to make an informed decision about the procedure.
Following the plastic surgeon’s instructions during preparation is crucial to achieving the best possible surgical outcome.
The longevity of the results depends on various factors, such as genetics and lifestyle. While a facelift does not stop the aging process, the results are typically satisfying for many years.
The cost of a facelift depends on the extent of the procedure and the area being treated. The price usually includes the initial consultation, the procedure itself, any necessary hospital care, and follow-up appointments. An exact cost estimate is provided during the consultation with the plastic surgeon, once the scope and details of the procedure have been determined.
