Transform Your Look with Facelift in Dubai
When it comes to rejuvenating your appearance, Facelift Surgery stands out as a comprehensive and long-lasting solution. While non-surgical treatments can address some facial concerns, a facelift offers a more profound transformation, effectively reversing signs of aging. This procedure plays a pivotal role in restoring a refreshed and youthful look, making it a preferred choice for those seeking significant aesthetic improvement.
What is a Facelift? Understanding the Procedure
A facelift surgery, medically known as Meloplasty or Rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgery that tightens and removes loose, sagging skin on the face and neck. This procedure can also involve tightening the underlying facial muscles and repositioning or removing excess fat to enhance facial contours. The primary goal of a Facelift in Dubai is to reduce jowls, refine the jawline, and create a more youthful appearance. Although scars after a facelift are permanent, they are usually subtle and strategically concealed within the hairline.
For those looking for a less invasive option, a suture facelift, or thread lift, may be considered. This procedure tightens and smooths specific areas such as the eyes, cheeks, or chin, without leaving visible scars or altering facial structure dramatically.
Before undergoing a facelift, a skilled surgeon will thoroughly assess your unique facial structure, discuss the potential risks and benefits, and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your goals.
Ideal Candidates for Facelift in Dubai
Facelift in Dubai is ideal for individuals who have noticeable sagging in the face or neck but still retain some skin elasticity. The best results are often seen in those with well-defined bone structures that provide a good foundation for the procedure.
Types of Facelift Surgery
Dubai offers various facelift procedures, each designed to address different areas of concern and levels of aging:

- Traditional Facelift: This procedure involves making an incision along the hairline, starting from the temple, extending around the ear, and back into the hairline. The skin is lifted, muscles are tightened, and excess fat is removed. The skin is then repositioned and any excess is trimmed away before being sutured in place.
- Limited Incision Facelift: This technique involves smaller incisions made at the temples and around the ears, resulting in a more subtle lift compared to the traditional method.
- Neck Lift: Often performed in conjunction with a facelift, a neck lift focuses on tightening and elevating the skin of the jaw and neck. The incision typically runs from in front of the ear into the hairline.
- Deep Plane Facelift: This advanced technique goes beyond the traditional facelift by addressing the deeper layers of muscle and tissue. The deep plane facelift is ideal for individuals with significant facial aging who desire more dramatic and longer-lasting results. This procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and involves repositioning the muscle to achieve a youthful appearance.
- Mini Facelift: A Mini Facelift surgery in Dubai is a less invasive version of the traditional facelift, focusing on the lower part of the face and neck. It involves shorter incisions and a quicker recovery time, making it a popular choice for individuals with early signs of aging. The mini facelift is perfect for those looking for subtle improvements without undergoing a full facelift procedure.
What is a mini facelift surgery?
A mini facelift is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional facelifts, designed to address sagging skin and wrinkles, primarily in the lower face and neck area. This procedure is best suited for younger individuals, typically those in their 30s, who start noticing signs of aging but do not require a full facelift. For those considering a mini facelift in Dubai, this procedure offers an effective solution to early signs of aging.
A mini facelift is often performed on the lower half of the face, including the jaw, neck, and chin. Its major goal is to tackle sagging skin and assist people in achieving a youthful appearance. Corrective cosmetic surgery is less intrusive than a typical facelift, which focuses on the entire face. Mini facelift surgery in Dubai can help you regain a refreshed and youthful look without the need for extensive surgery.
The Facelift Procedure
Facelift surgery typically requires general anesthesia and lasts between two to four hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure. The choice of technique—be it a traditional facelift, limited incision facelift, or neck lift—will depend on the desired outcome and the extent of aging.
During a traditional facelift, the surgeon will make incisions within the hairline, around the ears, and possibly under the chin. Fat is sculpted or redistributed, and underlying tissues and muscles are repositioned to create a firmer, smoother appearance. The skin is then draped over the new contours, with any excess being removed.
The incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures or skin adhesives, and once healing is complete, they are typically well-concealed within the natural contours of the face, ear, and hairline.
Recovery After Facelift Surgery
Recovery after facelift surgery varies from person to person, with most patients requiring several days of rest and monitoring in a hospital setting. The surgeon may place drains to help remove excess fluids, and patients should adhere strictly to post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
Common post-surgery symptoms include swelling, bruising, and numbness around the incision sites, which typically subside within a few weeks. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and keep their head elevated during sleep. It’s also crucial to keep the incision sites clean and follow all additional care instructions provided by the surgeon.
Results and Benefits of Facelift Surgery

It’s important to note that the full results of your facelift surgery in Dubai may take several months to become fully apparent. While initial swelling and bruising subside within a few weeks, the final results will gradually reveal themselves over time. Typically, the effects of a facelift can last several years, though some patients may require additional treatments to maintain their youthful appearance.

Patient Testimonials
Dr Faisal was nothing but outstanding during my entire journey in deciding if I should have a deep plane facelift in my 40’s. I didn’t want fillers and other interim interventions, all I wanted was to turn back time with what I had! From the very first consultation to before and after surgery including my many WhatsApp messages during my recovery months Dr Faisal was calm, reassuring and always there for me. It’s now 6 months on and I can honestly say it was the right decision to make. I am thrilled that it doesn’t look obvious that anything has been done but certainly friends and family comment on how fresh and alive I look! I would highly recommend Dr Faisal for his professional, calm, reassuring and expert advice for anyone considering such a big decision in their life. Juli Fairclough-Davis2024-12-05 I couldn’t say enough wonderful things to do Dr. Faisal justice! He listens. He cares. He has deep discussion with you to be certain he is targeting your root problem or concern. His staff is lovely. He doesn’t miss a step! After a botched mommy make over and THEN a trans-abdominal hysterectomy I was left with a massive scar and intense daily pain. Dr. Faisal gave me my life back! After 6.5 YEARS of intense, debilitating, life-altering pain, I am finally set free! My results are truly remarkable. I could not have asked for anything to go better! I am pain free, I have my athletic build back again and can get back to my active lifestyle with my kiddos again! I hope I never need surgery again in my lifetime but if I do- I’ll go to the ends of the earth to make sure it’s in his hands! He’s a realist and will not lie to you. He sets real expectations and then exceeds them by leaps and bounds! I am forever grateful to Dr. Faisal! Kat Overbeck2024-10-17 Cannot fault the service from start to finish. Highly recommend Dr Faisal and the team. Thank you for everything. Alice Williams2024-10-05 My neighbor recommended Dr. Faisal to me , and I am so happy with the result with only 4months now.I have done the breast augmentation and nipple correction. Dr. Faisal is so professional so good, he can hear you and understand what you want, and he did the work perfectly . I am very happy with my breast now. The results are even better than I had hoped. TT &T2024-09-30 Review of Dr. Faisal - abdominoplasty As a diabetic who had embarked on a weight loss journey to improve my health, I found myself facing a new challenge - unsightly loose skin around my tummy. This unexpected outcome of my weight loss efforts impacted my self-confidence, especially when it came to how I dressed and carried myself. Despite the physical transformation I had achieved, the presence of excess skin made me feel self-conscious and hesitant to fully embrace my new body. Therefore, I started researching doctors who could carry out the procedure. Upon scheduling my initial consultation, recommended by a friend, Dr. Faisal meticulously guided me through the surgery, addressing all my inquiries and aligning with my objectives. Prior to the operation, he dedicated time to addressing any concerns, remaining accessible for my numerous questions, and offering detailed instructions for the recovery process. Post-surgery, he closely monitored my progress and was consistently available for support, even during unconventional hours, providing reassurance and comfort. The recovery is always different for everyone but honestly, I felt it was made easier with the great support and did not struggle at all. I was up and about within a couple of days.....obviously with limitations. Now post 6 week mark i can confidently say Dr. Faisal's exceptional expertise resulted in a fabulous result (i find myself constantly checking myself out in the mirror and i can see abs !!), significantly boosting my self-confidence and I would highly recommend him to anyone contemplating this procedure. Puja Gujral2024-09-02 I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Faisal. After having 4 children including a set of twins, I no longer recognized myself when I looked in the mirror. My confidence was non existent. However, the thought of an extended abdominoplasty and breast lift was very daunting. Dr Faisal took the time to explain the whole procedure, recovery and expected outcome in an honest and frank manner whilst allaying any concerns or fears. The result is life changing. I was supported throughout the recovery and I now feel like I have my spark back. I enjoy exercising again and no longer look for baggy clothes to hide my body. Jennifer Durston MA Elip FCCT2024-08-28 I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the outstanding results of my surgeries. I am beyond thrilled with the outcome, and every time I look in the mirror, I feel an overwhelming sense of joy and confidence. Dr Faisal's exceptional skill and artistry are truly remarkable, and I am incredibly grateful to have found such an amazing surgeon. Thank you Dr Faisal for your beautiful work. Louise2024-08-17 Dr. Faisal is an exceptional doctor. Living in Dubai, it's not easy to find the right plastic surgeon. In previous years, I checked many profiles, but somehow I didn't trust them. One day, based on my friend's recommendation (and also after reading excellent reviews), I booked a consultation with Dr. Faisal. He really listens to his patients and answered my long list of questions, even the super silly ones. I didn't go anywhere else, I booked the surgery straight away. The results are just amazing; I got exactly what I asked for. I would highly recommend Dr. Faisal to anyone considering plastic surgery. Dora Czuczor2024-08-08 I had breast reduction surgery with Dr Faisal Salim 2 months ago. I was a GG cup size. Before the operation I searched for a good surgeon in the UAE and abroad for over a year, I selected 3 surgeons to meet with and one of them was Dr Faisal. I chose him because he was friendly and thorough in his explanation of what the surgery entailed and in managing my expectations. He and his team were always ready to answer my questions and his assistant Nazokat has been so lovely and helpful. I went into this surgery, very nervous of course, but fully aware of all the possible outcomes and I ended up with results that surpassed my dream scenario. I am so happy with the size and shape of my breasts. I am now a perky C cup at 43! Beyond the aesthetic aspect of my transformation, the health benefits are numerous; It is much easier to just exist everyday and do mondain activities with ease when it was a struggle before. I am able to keep up with my young children and working out has become so much easier that my fitness goals don’t seem so distant anymore. The positive consequences of this intervention don’t end here; one of the most significant outcomes is the impact on my confidence and self esteem; my family noticed that I’m more outgoing and I engage with others more and seem less reserved. I simply feel a million times better about myself! Dr Faisal did an amazing job and I will forever be thankful to him and cannot recommend him enough. He is a highly skilled surgeon and understands what his patients’ worries and preoccupations are. He is reassuring but honest and upfront about possible challenges which is exactly what I was looking for. This surgery is the best thing I have ever done for myself and I recommend it to every woman who suffers from the burden of having very large breasts. My first visit with Dr Faisal was just a chat about what I was looking for, it was relaxed and I didn’t feel pressured at all. It helped me in realising that this issue that seemed insurmountable could actually be fixed - and now that it is, I wish for every woman who is in the situation I was in to meet with Dr Faisal and get a new lease of life 😊 Laïla Waugh2024-07-25 I want to thank Dr. Faisal for performing on excellent procedure: face lift, neck lift and blepharoplasty- all together during the same surgery- Great ! His bedside manner was excellent. I’m very happy with the results ! This surgery has made a positive impact on my self esteem. Dr. Faisal answered all my questions reassuring me with professionalism at every stage of my journey providing accurate information. Dr. Faisal’s knowledge and skills gave me a very natural look, avoid raising unrealistic expectations. I want to mention also the team at the clinic : friendly and professional. I greatly appreciate everything Dr. Faisal has done for me. Highly recommended- 5 stars. Maria A2024-05-06
