Facelift
A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the face by addressing visible signs of aging. Over time, factors such as aging, gravity, stress, and environmental exposure can cause the skin and underlying tissues to sag, resulting in wrinkles, fine lines, and a loss of facial volume. Dr. Roomana Akhlaque specializes in delivering natural, youthful results through her expert facelift techniques, helping patients regain their confidence and vitality.
The Procedure
Dr. Akhlaque customizes each facelift to suit the individual needs and goals of her patients. A facelift typically involves repositioning the underlying tissues, tightening sagging skin, and removing excess fat deposits. It targets key areas such as the jawline, cheeks, and neck to achieve a smoother, more contoured appearance. Depending on the patient’s requirements, the surgery can be combined with complementary procedures like eyelid surgery or non-surgical treatments for enhanced results.
Dr. Akhlaque’s meticulous attention to detail and use of modern techniques ensure minimal scarring and a faster recovery time. She prioritizes natural-looking results, avoiding the “overdone” appearance and focusing on enhancing the patient’s unique features.

Recovery and Aftercare
Following a facelift, patients typically experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which subside over a few weeks. Dr. Akhlaque provides comprehensive aftercare instructions to promote a smooth recovery. Most patients return to normal activities within 10-14 days, with final results becoming visible in a few months as the healing process completes.
