Surgical or Thread Face and Neck Lift
✨ Face & Neck Rejuvenation at Luxor Hair Transplant & Cosmetic Surgery
Thread Lift | Mini Facelift | SMAS Facelift
Over time, our skin naturally loses elasticity and volume, leading to visible signs of aging such as sagging cheeks, jowls, and neck laxity. At Luxor Hair Transplant & Cosmetic Surgery, we understand that no two faces age alike—which is why we offer a range of customised surgical and non-surgical facelift solutions, designed to restore a youthful look while preserving unique facial character.
Whether you're seeking subtle lift or a complete transformation, our facelift options balance artistry and science to deliver natural-looking results with minimal recovery, performed under local anaesthesia with light sedation—removing the need for general anaesthesia or hospitalisation.

Thread Facelift (PDO Threads)
This non-surgical technique involves placing fine, absorbable threads beneath the skin to gently lift drooping areas, improve skin texture, and trigger natural collagen regeneration. It’s perfect for clients seeking noticeable results without surgery.
Step-by-Step Overview:
- Targeted areas are numbed using local anaesthetic
- PDO threads are inserted via micro-cannulas beneath the skin
- Threads are positioned to lift and contour the face (cheeks, jawline, brows, or neck)
- No sutures required—the threads safely dissolve over several months
Key Benefits:
- Minimally invasive with immediate visual lift
- Boosts collagen for ongoing skin improvement
- No incisions, no scarring
- Ideal for those not ready for surgical intervention
Recovery & Results:
- Possible mild swelling or bruising
- Most patients resume work and daily activities within 1–3 days
- Effects last between 6 and 16 months, varying by skin type and thread quality
Mini Facelift
The Mini Facelift is a streamlined surgical procedure for individuals experiencing moderate lower face aging, such as jowls and nasolabial folds. It delivers rejuvenation with discreet incisions and reduced downtime.
Step-by-Step Overview:
- Administered with local anaesthetic and light sedation
- Small incisions made around the ear, hidden within natural skin folds
- Skin and subcutaneous tissue are lifted and recontoured
- Excess skin removed and fine sutures placed for minimal scarring
Key Benefits:
- Restores youthful contour to jawline and lower face
- Scars are virtually invisible once healed
- Shorter operative time and recovery vs. full facelift
Recovery & Results:
- Mild swelling and bruising for 7–10 days
- Sutures removed in 5–7 days
- Makeup can be applied within a week
- Results are long-lasting (approximately 3–5 years)
SMAS Facelift
Our most advanced facelift technique, the SMAS Facelift rejuvenates both the skin and deeper muscular layer (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System), providing robust lift and lasting support.
Step-by-Step Overview:
- Performed under local anaesthetic with light sedation
- Incisions placed around the ears and possibly within the hairline
- The SMAS layer is carefully lifted and tightened
- Skin is repositioned and excess trimmed before closing
Key Benefits:
- Addresses both skin and structural muscle laxity
- Dramatic improvement to the face and neck areas
- Can be paired with complementary procedures (neck lift, fat grafting)
Recovery & Results:
- Swelling and bruising expected for 10–14 days
- Light makeup allowed from day 10 onwards
- Final results emerge between 4–6 weeks
- Effects typically last 7–10 years
Choosing Your Rejuvenation Path
Each facelift modality has its unique advantages—your age, skin condition, desired outcome, and lifestyle. We will help guide you to make the right choice. During your personalised consultation, our experienced team will assess your goals, facial anatomy, and medical history to help design a treatment plan that suits you.
Many patients benefit from a combination approach, such as a thread lift for upper facial zones and a mini lift for lower face refinement.
