Your face is the first part of your body that is perceived by yourself and by others. It is therefore, justifiable to give it a meticulous consideration.

Depending on the zones to be embellished, we offer various solutions to improve the harmony of the face and neck.
With the passage of time, our skin loses its inherent elastic properties, and is more and more subject to the constant pull of gravity on its tissues. In so far as the region of the face is concerned, this constant downward pull of gravity results the appearance of jowls and loose skin on the front of the neck. Exposure of the skin to ultraviolet light (such as the sun), exposure to first or second hand smoke, and other hereditary factors may accelerate the premature ageing of the skin and accounts for why some people’s facial skin appears to age faster than others.
Facelift surgery is an efficient and frequent procedure that turns back the hands of time. It removes sagging skin from the cheek and neck areas and replacing the underlying anatomy in its previous anatomic position. The result is a more youthful and relaxed appearance to the face, giving a smoothed skin result and attenuated wrinkles. To avoid over stretching the skin, it is possible to use additional fillers.
Your facelift journey will begin with an in-depth consultation, where Dr Durand will take the time to understand your reasons for treatment and your expectations for results. He will carefully analyse your unique facial anatomy, observing how age has affected your face and your primary areas of concern, to determine what he can achieve with facelift surgery. Once he has identified the most realistic outcome and the most suitable surgical techniques, Dr Durand will walk you through the steps of the procedure to ensure you are comfortable and fully aware of what to expect during your journey.
A facelift requires a general anaesthetic and takes anywhere from two to five hours to complete. This is a day procedure though, so patients are free to go home on the same day.
The surgery is specifically performed where the excess of fat to remove is located, and each surgery is specific to the patient. Scars are invisible to offer a maximum of comfort to the patient.
To perform a facelift, incisions are made along the hairline, by the ear, and along the earlobe. The excess skin is then divided and lifted, allowing the underlying tissues to be tightened. All remaining skin can then be tightened and secured with sutures, producing a smoother, younger appearance.
Typical candidates include men and women in good health, who have noticed slight to moderate sagging of the skin in the cheeks and at the front of the neck.
Typically, these changes in facial skin are not present under the age of 40, except in exceptional circumstances.
Consulting with a highly experienced, specialist plastic surgeon such as Dr Daniel Durand will help you to better understand the right procedure for you to get the results you want, while maintaining realistic expectations of your surgery outcome.

As swelling and bruising subside, the visible improvements of a facelift appear. Your final result should not only provide a more youthful and rested appearance, but also help you feel more confident about yourself.
Although good results are expected, there can be no guarantee. In some situations, it may not be possible to achieve optimal results with a single surgical procedure and another surgery may be necessary. Follow Dr. Durand’s instructions to ensure the success of your surgery.
