Facelift & Mini Facelift in Abu Dhabi
A facelift lifts and repositions the deeper tissues of the face and removes excess skin, softening jowls, deep folds and a loose jawline. The result is a rested, refreshed version of you — not a ‘pulled’ look.
For earlier signs of ageing, a mini facelift focuses on the lower face and jawline with shorter incisions and a quicker recovery.
Who Is It For?
- Sagging cheeks and jowls
- A loose or undefined jawline

- Skin laxity that non-surgical treatments can no longer improve
Your Options

Your Journey
- Consultation: A private assessment with a DoH-licensed plastic surgeon to understand your goals, review your health and agree a personalised plan.
- Procedure: Performed with precise techniques that put your safety and a natural-looking result first.
- Aftercare: A personalised recovery plan and scheduled follow-ups until your final result.
Recovery
- Swelling and bruising for 1–2 weeks
- Return to social activities after about 2–3 weeks
- Incisions hidden around the ears fade over months

Not ready for surgery?
For mild laxity, Flutera HIFU and Sculptra can tighten and support the skin without incisions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What's the difference between a facelift and a mini facelift?
A full facelift addresses the mid face, lower face and jawline, often with the neck. A mini facelift focuses on early jowls and the lower face with shorter incisions and a shorter recovery.
Q2. How long does a facelift last?
A facelift turns back the clock rather than stopping it. Results typically last many years, and a healthy lifestyle, sun protection and skin treatments help maintain them.
Q3. Will I look 'pulled' after a facelift?
No. Modern techniques lift the deeper layers of the face rather than tightening the skin alone, so results look natural and expressions are preserved.
Q4. Can a non-surgical face lift give the same result?
Non-surgical options such as HIFU, Sculptra and fillers improve mild laxity, but they can’t remove excess skin or reposition deeper tissues the way surgery can.
