Facelift

Structural lifting of the facial framework, planned to the patient’s anatomy.

Surgeon

Dr. Saleh Alqaryan

Setting

Private practice, Riyadh

Consultation

By appointment

Introduction

A facelift addresses laxity of the lower face and jawline by repositioning the underlying facial framework rather than by tightening skin alone. What is appropriate depends on the individual anatomy.

Planning is judged against the whole face, so that the result reads as the patient’s own face at rest rather than as an operated one. Dr. Saleh’s reconstructive training informs how the deeper structures are handled and supported.

Considerations discussed in consultation

01

Areas of concern

Which parts of the face and jawline the patient would like addressed, and how they relate to each other.

02

Facial structure and skin

The underlying framework and the quality of the overlying skin are assessed together.

03

Previous surgery or injury

Earlier facial surgery, fracture or trauma affecting the tissues involved.

04

Medical history

General health, current medications and allergies are reviewed before a plan is agreed.
