A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure used to reduce visible signs of aging in your face and neck. A facelift can include removing excessive facial skin, smoothing out wrinkles or skin folds, and tightening the facial tissues, effectively “turning back the clock” on aging by making skin appear smoother and creating a more youthful appearance.
No matter how well you stay out of the sun and care for your skin, everyone eventually succumbs to gravity and lost facial volume. While facial volume loss produces a hollow appearance around the eyes and in the cheeks, gravity causes the skin to sag and create the appearance of jowls and “turkey neck.” More and more people are keeping their youthful looks and enjoying the best things in life longer.

Facelift surgery is suitable for men and women who have a well-defined bone structure, but are concerned about sagging skin in the face and neck. It is considered one of the most effective and satisfying surgical anti-aging treatments and it provides long-lasting results as well as a dramatically improved facial appearance.
Not all facelifts are the same. The different types of facelift surgery can vary by the area of the face they are performed on as well as the types of incisions used. Here is a short guide to the 5 main types of facelifts performed at our plastic surgery clinic in Bangkok.
A facelift can improve a tired facial appearance by smoothing the skin and reestablishing defined contours along the neck and jaw line. It is often done in combination with other procedures including a brow lift and eyelid surgery to create an overall harmonious, youthful result.

A plastic surgery procedure designed to correct below the lower eyelids and deep nasolabial folds which run from the base of the nose to the outer corners of the mouth. It creates a youthful appearance by smoothing the transition between the lower eyelids and upper cheek region.

If you are bothered by excess skin, heavy wrinkles or other signs of aging, Neck Lift surgery can help to effectively balance and smooth out the neck and chin areas.
Some of the common problems that lead people towards neck lift surgery are:
A Neck Lift is commonly combined with a lower facelift, although it can also be performed as an individual procedure. Depending on the severity of the skin excess, the procedure may be performed by liposuction plus tightening of the neck muscle under the chin.
Neck Lift procedures are designed to suit the needs of each patient on an individual basis. If you feel that you might benefit from a neck lift, ask for a consultation with a plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon.
Typical signs of facial aging include wrinkles and fine lines. As we mature, the skin also begins to lose its elasticity and lose volume, especially in the areas under the eyes, the cheeks, the jowls and the lips.
Facial fat transfer has quickly become one of the most popular procedures for restoring the volume to the face that has been lost due to the aging process.
Facial fat transfer (also known as fat grafting, fat injecting or lipofilling) is a surgical procedure that involves removing unwanted fat from other areas of the body and injecting it into the face to smooth out wrinkles or to fill out areas where volume has been lost. The fat used in the transfer can be extracted from almost any part of the body using modern liposuction techniques and prepared for injection into the face.
Fat transfer is a very natural and safe facial rejuvenation procedure. Because you are using fat from your own body there is no risk of rejection, and it provides a more permanent solution than using synthetic dermal fillers.
Common treatment areas include hollow skin under the eyes, the nasolabial folds, cheeks as well as “marionette” lines between the lips and chin.
During the aging process, noticeable fat deposits can accumulate in isolated areas of the face and neck. Common problem areas include the cheeks, the jawline, and the neck. This type of fat is often extremely resistant to diet and exercise, and many patients find that weight loss alone is not enough to shed stubborn fat.
Facial liposuction, also known as submental liposuction, is a popular way to remove this excess, unwanted fat from the face and neck in order to create a younger looking face with a more slender profile. The procedure can be performed on its own or combined with other facial sculpting procedures.
The process of facial liposuction is very similar to liposuction on other areas of the body. During your consultation, your surgeon will create an individual surgery plan for you based on the areas you wish to have treated.
Facial fat liposuction is suitable for men and women of all ages in good general health. The best candidates are patients with normal skin elasticity and good overall muscle tone with no skin irregularities. In these cases, facial liposuction is an excellent means to achieve good and long-lasting results.
