Facelift in Bangkok

Give yourself a younger, better looking face by addressing several anatomical changes due to aging with a facelift intervention.

Deciding yourself for a facelift

You’ve probably been thinking about getting a facelift for some time now. Maybe you have noticed that your skin is beginning to sag or droop, or maybe you are starting to see wrinkles and lines that didn’t used to be there. Maybe you have been told by family members or friends that you look tired or worn out, or maybe they notice the sagging skin under your chin or around your mouth.

Little scars, big changes

Of all the cosmetic surgical procedures Dr. Chartchai performs, the face lift may be the one procedure his patients want most yet are most anxious about. Patients see their new “look” post-surgery—firmer, toned, and refreshed faces that have been subtly “adjusted” with as little noticeable scarring as possible. This is extremely important especially for older men who may have very little hair with which to hide any scars that might show.

When should you plan for your facelift?

Women and men in their mid 40s to mid 50s at a time when signs of aging begin to show in the face may be the best candidates for partial facelifts. When they reach their mid 50s through mid 60s, they are more likely candidates for full facelifts. As facial cosmetic surgery is “superficial”, with only a minimal amount of blood loss, no intrusion in body cavities and no confinement to bed rest after surgery, most people, except those with very serious health conditions may go for such surgery.

Making up your mind, we are here to help!

If you’re dissatisfied with the way you look, it can be hard to know where to start. Do I get a facelift? A neck lift? Liposuction? What if I don’t want surgery at all?

Dr. Chartchai will help you determine what will give you the best and most natural looking outcome from your surgery based on your goals and your concerns. He’ll also guide you through what to expect—the recovery process, any potential risks, and how long it will take for you to achieve the results you want.

How to think about what you would like to look better

There are four main areas of the face where the sagging effects of aging are most apparent: in the forehead, in the temporal area, the malar area, in the lower jaw area, and in the neck. With aging, facial fat either descends or shrinks; muscle tissue may lose mass and laxity; skin may become loose and saggy; bone resorption may lead to a smaller bony platform—all of these factors combine to make us look older than we feel inside! Dr. Chartchai will consider what will give you the best and most natural looking outcome from your surgery based on your goals and your concerns.

You’ve spent your life looking very good for your age, but now you’re starting to see that your skin is starting to sag.

You don’t want to look older than you are, so what do you do?

Mid-face lift surgery by Dr. Chartchai will give you the boost you need to look refreshed and renewed. A mid-face lift is a surgical procedure that restores your youthful appearance by removing excess skin and tightening of the deeper SMAS structure.

A mid-face lift can improve your appearance in the temple region, or the area between your brows and eyes. Although most people accept the crow’s feet that appear when they smile as long as they are minimal, droopy skin in this region can interfere with a person’s vision. A mid-face lift will elevate some of this descended temple fat as well as smooth out your wrinkles. Wrinkles that appear with smiling will not be eliminated but will be less severe. A combination of brow lift and/or lower blepharoplasty may be necessary to treat significant crow’s feet.

What happens during a facelift procedure

In the cheeks, as facial fat and muscle tissue disappears or decreases, it bunches up just above the nasal-labial crease giving the typical appearance of a fallen face. During a facelift, or the mid-face lift, Dr. Chartchai will choose the best of several techniques to reposition the muscles, fat pads and skin of your face.

Mid-face lifts are often combined with other procedures to treat more pronounced signs of aging, like droopy eyelids or sagging cheeks.

The underlying facial skeleton has a significant effect on facial appearance as well as eyelid position. Bone modification can be performed by chin implant to create a stronger or more balanced jawline, or by careful shaving of the jawbone to ease an overly sharply defined jawline. For some people, nose surgery will create a more balanced appearance to their face.

If you’re experiencing a sagging neckline and want to restore your youthful appearance, a neck-lift might be the perfect option for you.

A neck-lift is a surgical procedure that can help you achieve a tighter, more defined jawline, remove excess fatty deposits below the chin, and tighten prominent bands or cords in the neck.

You’re in good hands

You want to look your best, and we want to help you get there. That’s why we’ve created this list of procedures, so you can explore your options and find the one that’s right for you. Don’t let the size of our list overwhelm you—we’ll work with you to narrow it down by considering your unique needs and goals.

If you’re struggling with jowling and fatty deposits below your chin or excess drooping of skin, Dr. Chartchai may suggest that simply removing the excess or performing liposuction will fix your problems. Or he may advise that a neck lift is the procedure best able to fix your issues. In order to tighten prominent bands or cords in the neck and restore a younger, chiseled look to your neck and chin line, surgery will be required.

With Dr. Chartchai, you’ll get the best of both worlds: the meticulous attention to detail that comes from a world-class surgeon and the warm, friendly atmosphere of a neighborhood clinic.
