When considering Facelift Surgery in Mumbai, choosing the right surgeon and understanding costs are key. A facelift—or rhytidectomy—rejuvenates sagging skin, loose muscles, and fatty deposits in the face and neck, restoring a youthful contour. In Mumbai, Dr . Siddharth Prakash at Ambrosia Aesthetics leads the field with expertise and artistry.
What Is Facelift Surgery & Who Needs It?
A facelift is a surgical procedure that targets sagging cheeks, jowls, neck laxity, deep wrinkles, and excess skin. Ideal candidates:
Have noticeable skin/neck sag
Display age-related lines and volume loss
Feel their appearance misrepresents their age
Are in good health with realistic expectations
Seek results for themselves—not due to external pressure
Dr Prakash offers a one-on-one consultation to discuss your facial ageing, expectations, and wellness. Documenting with photos and planning helps ensure results that align with your desires.
Benefits and Limitations of Facelift Surgery in Mumbai
Benefits
Lifts sagging skin and tightens neck and facial muscles
Reduces jowls, double chin, and deep wrinkles
Removes or redistributes excess facial fat
Restores youthful contours and boosts confidence
Limitations
Doesn’t halt ageing—just slows visible signs
Results take 2–4 weeks to fully emerge after swelling subsides
Scars are discreetly tucked but persist
Non‑surgical treatments (fillers, Botox) are less dramatic
Surgical facelift results are long-lasting—though ageing continues, you’ll always appear younger than your biological age.
Facelift Surgery Techniques
Dr Prakash tailors the approach after careful facial evaluation:
Traditional (Standard) Facelift
Incisions from hairline → around ears → scalp base. Addresses mid/lower face + neck. Most transformative; longer downtime.
Mini-Facelift
Shorter incisions, ideal for early signs. Faster recovery, less invasive.
Neck Lift
Targets jowls and neck; typically shorter scar, may include submental incision.
MACS Lift
Minimal Access Cranial Suspension: short incision at temple, anchors facial tissues with sutures. Suspends cheek & lower face; faster recovery.
Extended MACS
Adds cheek/under-eye elevation to the MACS technique—more comprehensive.
Non‑Surgical “Facelift” Options
These include thread lift, laser, filler, Botox, peels, liposuction, and fat‑transfer—all with quicker recovery but less dramatic results.
Surgery Day, Recovery & Aftercare
Procedure (~2–4 hrs): Under general anesthesia, skin is lifted, muscles adjusted, fat repositioned, excess skin removed, then closed with fine sutures/tapes.
Recovery: Walk immediately post-op; you may go home next day.
Post‑op care: Antibiotics + analgesics for 5–7 days. Dressings and tapes stay for 5–10 days.
Daily life: Light activity next day; heavy exercise avoided for 2 weeks.
Healing: Bruising/swelling lasts 1–3 weeks; final results appear as swelling subsides.
Combining Facelift with Other Procedures
Enhance outcomes by pairing facelift with:
Fat grafting (restores youthful volume)
Facial implants (chin, cheek)
Eyelid surgery or brow lift (upper face rejuvenation)
Buccal fat pad reduction
Non-surgical enhancements (fillers, lasers)
Body contouring or hair transplant
Combining procedures can maximize transformation in one session.
Risks & Scarring
Facelift is generally safe with minimal complications:
Common: bruising, swelling, temporary numbness
Rare: hematoma, wound healing delay, asymmetry, nerve weakness
Scars are hidden in hairline and creases; most fade over months. Laser or steroid treatments can address persistent scars.
According to Ambrosia Aesthetics on their website, a facelift—depending on type (full face & neck)—starts around ₹1,00,000, ranging up to ₹2,00,000.
Thread lifts (non-surgical) start at ₹50,000–₹1,50,000.
Final cost depends on technique, hospital, anesthesia, implants, and follow-ups.
