It is rightly said a person’s face is their fortune, and the face is the canvas that displays all emotions. As a person ages, the face loses its natural-toned appearance. The first visible signs of aging appear on the face and the neck in the form of loose skin and tissues.
Now, you can reverse the signs of aging with the best facelift surgery in Bangalore at Aesthetics Plus. Learn about the surgery and the facelift surgery cost in Bangalore, India, from our surgeons
A facelift or rhytidectomy is a surgical procedure to tighten, lift, and reposition the drooping facial skin and underlying facial tissues to restore a youthful look. Sagging of the forehead skin, drooping of cheek fat, prominent nasolabial folds (crease between the cheek and the lip), and jowls (skin folds hanging by the sides of the jaws) are all the indications of facial aging. Some individuals even develop neck folds, also called a “turkey neck,” corrected with a neck lift.
As one can see in this picture, these changes are pretty evident.
These transformations are partly because of loss of skin texture, reduction in volume due to loss of subcutaneous tissue, gravity, smoking, hereditary factors, and the effects of sun damage and pollutants.
A facelift is the last in a series of procedures designed to counteract these effects and correct these tell-tale signs of aging. A facelift surgery in Bangalore at Aesthetics Plus results in a lifted, fresh, and rested facial appearance.

After reassessing the patient, the facelift surgeon at Aesthetics Plus marks the facial areas that need correction.
The patient receives general anesthesia or intravenous sedation for comfort during surgery. Our surgeons make incisions in inconspicuous areas and natural folds in front of the ear, behind the earlobe, and within the hairline.
A traditional facelift involves raising the skin flaps right from the ears to the lips and pulling the skin up and back. Simultaneously, they manipulate the SMAS, the thin muscular layer under the skin, to help tighten it and place it for a youthful contour. The excess skin is excised and removed. This maneuver tightens the facial and neck skin and eliminates the deep folds for a smooth and contoured facial appearance.
Incisions are closed with sutures that either dissolve or are removed after a few days. Then dressings and a pressure garment are applied to aid healing.
Post facelift surgery, the care is critical as the patients have tremendous swelling and may even have their eyes shut because of the swelling. Most of the swelling subsides by the first week. Still, the numbness and tingling sensation may persist till about 4 to 6 months after the procedure.
The patient must also wear pressure garments and supports to keep the skin and tissues in their new position. As the swelling goes down and things settle, the patient will better appreciate the results.
Facelifts require a lot of cooperation from patients as they have to go through the waiting time till the swelling subsides and numbness settles down. Also, they have to refrain from smoking at least ten days in advance and 15 days postoperatively to prevent complications like skin necrosis. Patients need proper skin care after the procedure for better results and maintenance.
The results of the procedure are long-lasting. However, the effects of gravity and aging take a toll over a while, and the jowls/sagging skin may recur. We advise our patients to adopt non-surgical face rejuvenation treatments to maintain the results for an extended period.
Immediate complications after the facelift procedure include bleeding, infection, and wound gape. Another significant complication is the risk of nerve injuries. Bleeding may need evacuation in the operation theatre, and infection is treated conservatively. Wound gape may require re-suturing in rare instances.
Nerve injuries can occur due to extensive dissection involved and the proximity of the superficial nerves of the face, even though every care is taken to prevent such an incident. Most of them usually recover spontaneously within 3-6 months if they occur. Though these are rare, they are known to occur.
Very rarely, the nerve may be cut, in which case a re-exploration and nerve repair may have to be done.
Skin necrosis is another dreaded complication though rare. The skin at the edges may die because of lack of circulation, more commonly seen in diabetics and smokers. Patients may need skin grafting with a resultant scar if it occurs.
Late complications of a facelift can be scar hypertrophy, which the surgeons must treat on its merits to try and reduce. Also, patients can see hair loss in the suture line, which we can treat with hair transplants.
The cost of facelift surgery in Bangalore is dependent on several factors. The technique used, the extent of facelift performed (complete facelift, mini facelift, or MACs facelift), the expertise of the surgeon, associated procedures, surgical facilities, anesthesia, etc., play a role here.
Our surgeons at Aesthetics Plus will give you an estimate once you send in your pictures for an initial evaluation. However, you can get the accurate facelift price only after a thorough consultation with our surgeons. We offer the best facelift surgery in Bangalore at competitive prices with no hidden costs.
Wonderful experience with Aesthetic plus. Dr. Surindhar is incredible, not only has explained me entire procedure but also ensured I had a smooth prep, surgery, and follow-up. It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of medical care. I am so glad I chose Aesthetic Plus and would highly recommend.
It was a great experience to get treated from Aesthetic Plus. The service, doctors, helpers and environment was quite friendly and comfortable. This treatment has changed my life into something better. I would recommend you all to give it a try and find yourself how they change your life too.... Thanks to Team Aesthetic Plus & DR. Surindher Sir
Visited Dr Surindher for a procedure which I was contemplating for a very long time. He made me extremely comfortable and explained everything in detail which made me gain confidence to go ahead with the procedure. The procedure went well with no pain at all.Post the procedure there was minor discomfort for 2-3 days and Dr Surindher was always available on call to help address any concern and to follow up with the progress.The post operative follow up was brilliant. Highly recommended Dr Surindher! Cheers and thank you !
I've known Dr. Surindhar for many years now, when he performed a surgery for removal of my axillary lymph nodes which was such an investment to my health and an addition to it's aesthetics was a bonus. I like his approachability n the precision of work, be it non or invasive jobs- big or small. I would highly recommend him for any of your cosmetic/ aesthetics related work.
Got a chemical peel from Dr.Surindher for my acne scars. My skin felt very smooth and brighter after the procedure. Had a really comfortable experience at the clinic and doctor was very patient in answering all my frequent follow up questions.
Nice place. Neat and clean. Courteous staff. Knowledgable doctor good hands didnt force me and my husband regarding procedures and gave us all the facts. I got a mummy makeover( tummy tuck + breast lift) and hubby got a hair transplant with the Aesthetics Plus team. Very happy with the result. Waiting for hubby's final result. Thank you DrSurindher and team. Keep it up
Hair transplant and gynaecomastia correction done. Had surgery before elsewhere but depression and scarring was there, which was corrected very well and no drains and actually no pain at all. then got FUE also done last year. Very happy. will recommend to all. thank you.
The scars are small in front of the ear in the crease and extend into the hairline. The patient's hair hides these scars that slowly fade with healing. Patients can camouflage the scars with makeup after suture removal.
Keep the head elevated the first few days after the surgery to reduce bruising and swelling. Avoid any strenuous activities and exercise for 4 to 6 weeks. The patient should protect against sun exposure. Refrain from smoking as this can slow down the healing process.
You will be back on your feet the same day. However, it takes around a week to 10 days for the swelling to subside. Some of the visible stitches are removed after a week. The scars will be fresh, so avoid going out, but you can work at home. Slowly as the healing improves and the scars fade, you can apply makeup. It can range from 4 to 6 months for complete recovery and the final results.
Stop smoking at least ten days before the surgery. Plan your work and recovery time. Remember, you need a recovery phase of two to three months. Don't schedule any functions immediately after the surgery. Read the other general instructions to prepare for your facelift here.
You are reversing the clock and returning to a younger version of yourself. The results can last for a long time. However, aging is a natural process and will affect the face. Various factors like the age of the patient, the skin condition, and ethnicity play a role here. Patients with well-maintained and dark skin have better results than fairer, thinner, or sun-damaged skin. You see better results in younger patients less than 60 years.
After a facelift at Aesthetics Plus, we advise the patient to maintain the quality of the skin by undergoing regular skin rejuvenation treatments like PRP, chemical peels, etc.
Results of the facelift are enhanced when performed along with other treatments. These procedures are blepharoplasty, brow lift, fillers for under-eye hollows and wrinkles around the lips, fat grafting, Botox for wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes, chin liposuction, and so on.
At Aesthetics Plus, Bangalore, our surgeons will suggest the best combination of procedures to give you the perfect makeover.
MACS is a relatively newer approach to facelift. This technique minimizes the extent of dissection, potentially reducing the complications but providing decent results for the facelift and the neck lift. Minimal access cranial suspension lift is gaining popularity because of the patient's expected early return to work. The extent of dissection is less, so the swelling postoperatively is also reduced. Also, it gives pleasing neck contours as the direction of pull is vertical and offers natural-looking results.
The basic facelift is via a minor cut in front of the ear and extending into the hairline. After the liposuction of the neck is carried out, the skin is dissected. Then three suspension sutures are placed from the tissues in the upper neck and cheek and the malar fat pad, which are hitched to the tissues in the head, giving the required lift. The excess skin is removed.
Dr. Surindher has modified the MACS facelift by using barbed "Quill Sutures" for the loops instead of the regular PDS or Prolene sutures. These sutures prevent the tissues from bunching up, giving smooth contours and filling the mid-face.
Studies have shown no long-term difference in the conventional facelift versus the MACS facelift. But since the complications are minor along with good results and early return to work, the MACS facelift is gaining popularity
Another non-surgical treatment for facial rejuvenation is a thread lift. Sometimes fat grafting is also combined. Talk to our facial plastic surgeons to know more about thread lift.
