Facelift

A surgical facelift performed by MOH-accredited plastic surgeon Dr Karen Sng, addressing facial laxity, jowling, and neck sagging to achieve a naturally refreshed and youthful appearance.

Facelift surgery (rhytidectomy) at Dr Karen Sng's practice targets the visible signs of facial and neck ageing, including lax skin, deep nasolabial folds, jowling, and loss of jawline definition. Dr Sng's dual training in reconstructive and aesthetic surgery means she approaches the facelift with both technical precision and an understanding of natural facial anatomy, aiming for results that look refreshed rather than operated on. Procedure planning is highly personalised. During the consultation, Dr Sng assesses the patient's facial structure, skin quality, and aesthetic goals before recommending the appropriate technique — which may range from a minimal-incision weekend lift to a full SMAS facelift with or without neck lift. The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) approach repositions underlying facial tissues rather than simply pulling skin, producing longer-lasting and more natural outcomes. Dr Sng's background as a former Senior Consultant at Singapore General Hospital's Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery department, combined with her international fellowship training in the UK and US, underpins her surgical expertise. Her role as Past President of the Singapore Association of Plastic Surgeons further reflects her standing within the specialty.
