Time leaves its signature on every face—sagging jowls, deep creases, loose neck skin, and loss of facial definition that no cream can reverse. Whilst non-surgical treatments offer temporary improvements, facelift surgery remains the gold standard for patients seeking dramatic, long-lasting facial rejuvenation.

Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh, Head of Plastic Surgery at Artemis Hospital in Sector 51, Gurgaon, specialises in advanced facelift surgery techniques that deliver natural, refreshed results. With over 17 years of expertise and a Fellowship from St Louis Hospital, Paris, he has helped countless patients from Golf Course Road to Vasant Vihar regain their youthful confidence.

This guide explores modern facelift techniques, ideal candidates, recovery expectations, and why choosing the right surgeon makes all the difference.

Understanding Modern Facelift Surgery

Today’s facelift surgery, medically termed rhytidectomy, has evolved dramatically from skin-pulling procedures of decades past. Modern techniques address underlying facial structures—muscles, fat, and connective tissue—creating results that look naturally youthful.

What a Facelift Can Address

• Sagging Midface: Descended cheeks and deepened nasolabial folds are lifted and repositioned.
• Jowls: Loss of jawline definition from sagging tissues is corrected, restoring clean, youthful contours.
• Loose Neck Skin: Turkey neck, neck bands, and excess skin beneath the chin are tightened.
• Deep Creases: Marionette lines from the mouth corners to the chin are softened through tissue repositioning.
• Lost Facial Volume: Modern techniques reposition descended fat pads, restoring youthful fullness.

Patients from DLF Phase 5 to Defence Colony appreciate that Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh takes time to understand each patient’s unique ageing patterns before recommending a customised surgical plan.

Advanced Facelift Techniques in 2026

At Artemis Hospital, Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh employs advanced facial rejuvenation techniques, selecting the optimal approach based on each patient’s anatomy and desired outcomes.

SMAS Facelift

The SMAS technique addresses the muscular layer beneath the skin, providing longer-lasting results. By repositioning this deeper layer, Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh creates a natural-looking lift that ages gracefully.

Deep Plane Facelift

For patients with significant ageing, the deep plane technique releases and repositions facial tissues as a single unit, delivering dramatic yet natural rejuvenation for heavy jowling and deep nasolabial folds.

Mini Facelift

Younger patients with early ageing signs may benefit from a mini facelift using shorter incisions, addressing the lower face and jowls. Recovery is faster, making it popular amongst busy professionals from Magnolias to Greater Kailash.

Neck Lift Combination

Many patients combine facelift with neck lift surgery for comprehensive rejuvenation, addressing platysmal bands, excess neck fat, and loose skin from the jawline to the collarbone.

Ideal Candidates for Facelift Surgery

Facelift surgery delivers optimal results for specific candidates. Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh carefully evaluates whether surgical rejuvenation will meet your expectations.

• Age Range: Most facelift patients are between 45 and 70 years, though younger patients with premature ageing or older patients in good health can benefit.
• Skin Quality: Some remaining skin elasticity improves results, though modern techniques accommodate varying skin qualities.
• Overall Health: Good general health, non-smoking status, and controlled medical conditions are essential for safe surgery.
• Realistic Expectations: Understanding that facelift rejuvenates rather than transforms ensures satisfaction with outcomes.

Patients from Sushant Lok, Sector 57, and Haus Khas who meet these criteria typically achieve excellent, long-lasting results.

The Facelift Journey: What to Expect

Before Surgery

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh examines your facial anatomy, discusses your goals, and explains realistic outcomes. Pre-operative photographs document your starting point.

During Surgery

Facelift surgery is performed under general anaesthesia at Artemis Hospital. Incisions are placed within the hairline and around the ears, where they heal virtually invisibly. The procedure takes 3-5 hours, depending on technique and additional procedures.

Recovery Timeline

• Week One: Swelling and bruising peak around day three, then gradually subside. Most patients rest at home with head elevation.
• Week Two: Sutures removed, most visible bruising fades. Many patients feel comfortable appearing in public.
• Month One: Swelling continues resolving, early results become visible, and light activities resume.
• Months Three to Six: Final results emerge as remaining swelling resolves and tissues settle.

Professionals from Palam Vihar to Vasant Kunj appreciate detailed recovery guidance for planning time away from obligations.
