شد الوجه — restore
what time has changed.
A شد الوجه (rhytidectomy) lifts and tightens sagging facial tissues for a naturally younger, refreshed appearance — without looking “done”. Dr Saba Al Marush performs advanced شد الوجه techniques in Dubai that restore structure, not just skin.
What is a شد الوجه?
A شد الوجه addresses the visible signs of ageing in the lower two-thirds of the face and neck: sagging jowls, deep nasolabial folds, loss of jawline definition and neck laxity. Modern شد الوجه techniques lift the underlying SMAS layer (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) — not just the skin — for results that look natural and last.
Dr Saba’s approach focuses on restoring youthful facial structure while maintaining your natural identity. The goal is refreshed — never overdone.
Finding the right approach.
Different شد الوجه techniques address different degrees of ageing. Dr Saba recommends the optimal approach during استشارة.
- Mini شد الوجه — Addresses early jowling and mild laxity. Shorter incisions, faster التعافي.
- SMAS شد الوجه — The gold standard. Lifts the deeper tissue layer for natural, long-lasting results.
- Deep plane شد الوجه — Advanced technique releasing and repositioning deep tissues. Maximum rejuvenation.
- Face and شد الرقبة — Comprehensive correction including neck bands, turkey neck and jawline.
The شد الوجه process.
Consultation
Dr Saba examines your facial anatomy, skin quality and degree of ageing. Goals and technique discussed.
Pre-operative Planning
Detailed surgical plan, medical clearance, pre-operative photography.
Surgery Day
3–5 hours under general التخدير. Incisions concealed around the ears and hairline.
Recovery
Head elevation, gentle care. Sutures removed at 1 week. Final results visible at 3–6 months.
What to expect.
A well-performed شد الوجه delivers dramatic yet natural rejuvenation. Results are visible immediately and continue improving as swelling resolves.
What to expect after your شد الوجه.
Days 1–3: Swelling and bruising at their peak. Head elevated, cold compresses, prescribed medication. Rest is essential.
Week 1: Sutures and dressings removed. Bruising begins to fade. Most patients feel comfortable at home.
Weeks 2–3: Most patients return to social activities with makeup covering residual bruising.
Months 1–6: Progressive improvement as deep tissues settle. Final results visible at 3–6 months. Scars continue fading for 12+ months.
Enhanced facial rejuvenation.
Many patients combine a شد الوجه with complementary إجراءs for comprehensive rejuvenation:
Eyelid جراحة (blepharoplasty) — Refresh tired, heavy upper eyelids or under-eye bags. Fat transfer — Restore facial volume lost with ageing. Botox — Smooth dynamic wrinkles not addressed by جراحة. Laser resurfacing — Improve skin texture and pigmentation.
Your questions, answered.
How long does a شد الوجه last?
A well-performed SMAS or deep plane شد الوجه delivers 7–10+ years of rejuvenation. You’ll continue to age, but always look younger than without جراحة.
What is the best age for a شد الوجه?
Most patients are 45–70, but suitability depends on skin quality, not age. Some patients benefit from a mini شد الوجه in their early 40s.
Will a شد الوجه look natural?
Dr Saba’s technique lifts deep tissue structure — not just skin — creating natural results that avoid the “windswept” look.
What about non-surgical alternatives?
Thread lifts, fillers and Botox can delay but not replace a شد الوجه. They address different concerns and complement rather than substitute جراحة.
How visible are شد الوجه scars?
Incisions are placed around the ears and along the hairline where they heal to near-invisible. Dr Saba’s closure technique minimises scarring.
شد الوجه vs fillers — which is better?
Fillers address volume loss; a شد الوجه addresses sagging and laxity. Many patients benefit from both for comprehensive rejuvenation.
What is التعافي like?
2 weeks before returning to social activities with makeup. Most patients return to work at 2–3 weeks. Full التعافي at 4–6 weeks.
