What is a facelift surgery?
A face lift surgery is a cosmetic surgical procedure to create a younger appearance in your face. The procedure can reduce the sagging or folds of skin on the cheeks and jawline.
During a facelift, the skin on each side of the face is cut open and pulled back. The excess skin is cut off and the flap is stitched back in place. Eyelid surgery is also a part of this procedure.
Facelift surgery is done under general anesthesia. It has a post operative down time of about 2 weeks which involves swelling and bruising.
Side effects are rare but may involve scarring, hematoma, infection and facial nerve injury.
Stitches are either self dissolving or removed in a few days. The healing process is quick and leaves a discrete scar in front of the ear.
The surgery should be performed by a Cosmetic Surgeon who specializes in both, Plastic surgery as well as Cosmetic Surgery.
If you are looking for facelift surgery in Mumbai, then our Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeon, Dr Siddharth Prakash can help you achieve the best surgery result.

What is Ultherapy or Ultracel?
Ultracel or Ultherapy is an US FDA approved treatment for skin lifting. It regenerates collagen and elastin in the deeper layers of your skin. Ultracel uses high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to repair and uplift sagging skin. It is a painless and non-surgical treatment.
Ultracel gives desired results in face lifting, skin tightening and double chin removal. The treatment is ideal for both men and women.
How does Ultherapy non surgical facelift work?
Ultherapy targets the skin and SMAS layer below the surface of the skin. These are the same tissues that facelift surgery works on. HIFU waves emitted by Ultracel create ‘micro focused’ repair zones under the skin.
We can target different depths under the skin to lift and tighten the face and neck area. Besides this, the treatment can also reduce fat under the chin to get rid of your double chin. All this is achieved without any injury to the surface of the skin. Thus, you can achieve an amazing facelift without a facelift surgery.
What to expect during your non surgical facelift?
Ultherapy requires 45 to 60 minutes in clinic. It is a non invasive and painless treatment. You will feel warm and a little pricky during the session. This is due to the micro-focused ultrasound acting below the surface of the skin.
The ultrasound heat can be a bit intense at certain areas that need more lifting. Overall, the session is very comfortable.
What to expect immediately after your non surgical facelift?
Your skin looks normal immediately after your Ulthera session. It may appear a bit pink in some areas, but it normalizes in 1-2 hours. You may experience tingling or tenderness to the touch. But this is mild and temporary.
Many people see an immediate lifting effect after the session.
Is there a down time after Ultherapy?
Ultherapy facelift has no downtime. You can go back to work or exercise immediately. Though some people may experience slight swelling for 2 to 3 days.
How soon can you see the results of a non surgical facelift?
Most patients see an initial effect right after their treatment. They have a refreshed glowing look. But the real results appear over the next 3 weeks to 3 months, as new collagen forms.
You will notice a brow lift, sharper jaw line and reduced double chin. Next you will notice lower face slimming and mid-face lift. Your pigmentation may also reduce and skin colour may brighten. Scars appear reduced and skin starts to glow.
How long will the results last?
The improvement in the skin and lifting of the face is permanent. But aging is an ongoing process. Due to this you may feel like repeating the treatment after a year to maintain the results.
How safe is this facelift without surgery?
Ultherapy is non-invasive, non-surgical, completely safe. It is the only FDA approved non-surgical face lifting treatment in Mumbai and the world. It is proved safe and effective in clinical studies. Ulthera has 450,000 successful treatments worldwide.
The results are like a soft facelift surgery, just more natural.
Do’s and don’ts after your non surgical facelift treatment.
You can return to your normal activities immediately after your procedure. There are no post-treatment restrictions or requirements. But, it is important that you stay hydrated after your treatment.
Also, avoid coffee and alcohol for 2 days. You can continue with your regular skin care regime as usual.
What is the cost of a non surgical facelift in Mumbai?
The cost of full face and neck lift is approximately Rs 36000. You can choose to have only a lower facelift or only upper facelift. We can make customized combinations such as double chin removal and neck lift.
The cost of a brow lift or neck lift is lesser, as the area is smaller. Also, you must understand that, if you are younger with less sagging then the cost is lesser. Similarly, if you are older and have more sagging then you may need up to 3 sessions.

What other anti aging treatment can I combine with a facelift?
Botox
Botox injections reduce frown lines, forehead lines and crows feet lines. These are wrinkles that occur due to muscle over-activity. Tiny doses of Botulinum toxin A in to wrinkles removes wrinkles and gives a smooth skin for 5 to 6 months. We can do Botox injections 1 week before or 3 weeks after Ultherapy.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers contain a natural sugar called Hyaluronic acid. They plump up deep wrinkles such as smile lines. Fillers also add volume to your face and create youthful cheeks and chin. We can do skin fillers 3 weeks after the Ultracel facelift.
PRP
Platelet Rich Plasma is the most natural way to rejuvenate your skin. In this treatment, we collect growth factors from your own blood. PRP skin treatment repairs collagen and reduces pigmentation. We can do PRP treatment on the same day as a part of your facelift procedure.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Fractional CO2 laser, erbium glass laser or Fraxel too can be combined with your facelift. These lasers improve the texture of the skin and correct scars.
Microneedling RF
This treatment combines two powerful procedures. Microneedling helps in stimulating the collagen, while RF makes the effect go deeper. We prefer not to combine Ultherapy with microneedling RF as it does not give any benefit. Both these treatments are better as stand alone treatments.
RF Skin Tightening
The Venus Freeze Plus is an amazing add on to the HIFU treatment. It ensures that your treatment will give you skin tightening along with skin lifting. This treatment emits Radiofrequency and magnetic pulses to tighten the skin.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels rejuvenate the skin by removing the dead skin. They make the skin smoother and brighter. We love to combine skin peels with non surgical face lifting.
Pyruvic peels which have a hydrating and skin tightening effect are most popular. This is one treatment that we give complementary with your Ultracel facelift.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy with various vitamins, antioxidants and peptides are a beneficial add on. Stem cell activators and growth factor concentrate (GFC) give very good results. Especially when they are combined with your non surgical face lift.
