Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How long does the recovery period take and how long do scars last after a facelift?

Scarring and recovery time vary depending on the incision site. While it differs from person to person, you can generally expect it to take about two weeks to a month.

Q. Which is more effective, laser lifting or a facelift?

For those with moderate sagging, wrinkles and volume can be improved through lifting procedures or additional treatments such as fat grafting or injections. However, in cases of moderate aging characterized by visible sagging and deep wrinkles, a facelift is recommended. Therefore, it is advisable to make the appropriate decision based on the patient's condition.

Q. How long do the effects of a facelift last?

The duration of the results varies from person to person. Sagging may occur again over time. In the case of a facelift, you can expect the results to last for about 5 to 10 years or more.
