Facelift Surgery

SMAS facelift and neck lift procedures performed by Dr Marco Faria-Correa, addressing sagging skin, deep folds, jowls, and neck laxity in the lower face and neck with results lasting 7–10 years.

Dr Marco Faria-Correa offers a comprehensive range of facelift procedures at Mount Elizabeth Novena Specialist Centre, including the traditional facelift, SMAS (superficial musculo-aponeurotic system) facelift, upper facelift and brow lift, cervicoplasty, platysmaplasty, and men's facelift. The SMAS technique is the gold standard for facial rejuvenation — it repositions both the skin and the underlying muscular layer of the face, producing longer-lasting and more natural results than skin-only approaches. This is particularly significant in Singapore's humid climate, where skin-only lifts may relax more quickly. Dr Marco's 45+ years of experience in plastic and reconstructive surgery means patients benefit from a surgeon who has performed thousands of facial rejuvenation procedures across two continents. The procedure is conducted under general or sedation anaesthesia in a hospital setting at Mount Elizabeth Novena, with initial recovery of 7–10 days for daily activities and a full return to active lifestyle at 4–6 weeks. Stitch removal typically occurs between 3 and 10 days post-operatively depending on incision location. The clinic performs both male and female facelift procedures, acknowledging the anatomical differences between genders. Patients should expect a pre-operative consultation with Dr Marco to assess skin laxity, facial structure, and individual goals before a surgical plan is finalised. The clinic does not publish set prices; all facelift pricing is provided by consultation.
