Face Lift Surgery
About the Surgery
A facelift is a cosmetic surgery to tighten and lift facial and neck tissues,thereby reducing signs of aging. Incisions are made in inconspicuous areas, muscles are tightened, and excess skin is removed. Typically performed under general anesthesia, the procedure takes a few hours, with a recovery period of about 2 weeks, with minor swelling and bruising. We encourage recovery at home, and generally discharge from the hospital a day or two post the operation. Results last several years, but the clock keeps ticking.  Choosing a qualified surgeon is crucial for optimal results, and discussing expectations, recovery, and potential risks is essential before undergoing the procedure.

We at Eveite practice the deep plane technique of the facelift addressing the midface and neck in a single sitting. It is an invasive procedure where Dr Prateek Sharma works close to the nerves of the face, but has excellent long lasting results with no damage.
