Lifting du Visage — restore
what time has changed.
A lifting du visage (rhytidectomy) lifts and tightens sagging facial tissues for a naturally younger, refreshed appearance — without looking “done”. Dr Saba Al Marush performs advanced lifting du visage techniques in Dubai that restore structure, not just skin.
What is a lifting du visage?
A lifting du visage 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 lifting du visage 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 lifting du visage techniques address different degrees of ageing. Dr Saba recommends the optimal approach during consultation.
- Mini lifting du visage — Addresses early jowling and mild laxity. Shorter incisions, faster récupération.
- SMAS lifting du visage — The gold standard. Lifts the deeper tissue layer for natural, long-lasting results.
- Deep plane lifting du visage — Advanced technique releasing and repositioning deep tissues. Maximum rejuvenation.
- Face and lifting du cou — Comprehensive correction including neck bands, turkey neck and jawline.
The lifting du visage 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 anesthésie. Incisions concealed around the ears and hairline.
Récupération
Head elevation, gentle care. Sutures removed at 1 week. Final results visible at 3–6 months.
What to expect.
A well-performed lifting du visage delivers dramatic yet natural rejuvenation. Results are visible immediately and continue improving as swelling resolves.
What to expect after your lifting du visage.
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 lifting du visage with complementary interventions for comprehensive rejuvenation:
Eyelid chirurgie (blépharoplastie) — Refresh tired, heavy upper eyelids or under-eye bags. Fat transfer — Restore facial volume lost with ageing. Botox — Smooth dynamic wrinkles not addressed by chirurgie. Laser resurfacing — Improve skin texture and pigmentation.
Your questions, answered.
How long does a lifting du visage last?
A well-performed SMAS or deep plane lifting du visage delivers 7–10+ years of rejuvenation. You’ll continue to age, but always look younger than without chirurgie.
What is the best age for a lifting du visage?
Most patients are 45–70, but suitability depends on skin quality, not age. Some patients benefit from a mini lifting du visage in their early 40s.
Will a lifting du visage 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 lifting du visage. They address different concerns and complement rather than substitute chirurgie.
How visible are lifting du visage cicatrices?
Incisions are placed around the ears and along the hairline where they heal to near-invisible. Dr Saba’s closure technique minimises cicatrices.
Lifting du Visage vs fillers — which is better?
Fillers address volume loss; a lifting du visage addresses sagging and laxity. Many patients benefit from both for comprehensive rejuvenation.
What is récupération like?
2 weeks before returning to social activities with makeup. Most patients return to work at 2–3 weeks. Full récupération at 4–6 weeks.
