Recovery time depends on the extent of surgery and individual healing characteristics. In most cases patients can gradually return to their usual routine within several weeks. Complete tissue recovery may take longer.

Lower Face Lift
A lower face lift helps restore clear facial contours, correct tissue sagging, and give the face a more youthful appearance.
A lower face lift is a plastic surgery procedure aimed at correcting age-related changes in the jawline, chin, and lower cheeks. During the procedure, the plastic surgeon lifts deeper facial tissues, removes excess skin, and restores the definition of facial contours. This operation helps reduce the appearance of jowls, improve the jawline, and create a more balanced facial appearance.
About the service
A lower face lift is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the lower part of the face. It allows correction of changes that occur due to age-related loss of skin elasticity and the downward displacement of deeper facial tissues.
Over time, tissues in the jawline area may begin to sag, which leads to a loss of clear facial contours. Jowls may appear and the shape of the chin area may change.
A lower face lift repositions tissues into a more anatomically correct position and helps restore a sharper jawline.
Indications for a lower face lift
A lower face lift may be recommended for patients who have noticeable changes in this area.
The most common indications:
• formation of jowls
• loss of definition along the jawline
• sagging tissues in the lower part of the face
• wrinkles in the chin area
• age-related changes in facial contours
During the consultation, the plastic surgeon evaluates the condition of the tissues and determines the most appropriate correction method.
How the surgery is performed
A lower face lift is performed in an operating room under general anesthesia. Incisions are usually made in discreet areas, most often near the ear or within the hairline.
Through these access points, the surgeon repositions deeper tissues, reshapes the contour of the lower face, and removes excess skin. This approach allows for a more noticeable and long-lasting result.
The duration of the surgery depends on the extent of correction and the individual characteristics of the patient.
Individual planning of the procedure
Before the procedure, the patient has a consultation with a plastic surgeon. The doctor evaluates skin condition, the degree of age-related changes, and the anatomical characteristics of the face.
Based on this evaluation, an individual rejuvenation plan is developed. In some cases, the procedure may be combined with other correction methods to achieve more comprehensive results.
Indications for a lower face lift
A lower face lift is performed when noticeable age-related changes appear in the lower face. The procedure may be recommended for jowls, tissue sagging, or loss of jawline definition. It also helps improve facial contours and overall appearance. The final decision about the surgery is made after consultation with a plastic surgeon.
Contraindications for a lower face lift
Contraindications may include acute infectious diseases, blood clotting disorders, or serious chronic illnesses. The surgery is also not performed when active inflammatory processes are present in the treatment area. Before the procedure the patient undergoes necessary medical examinations.
Preparation for a lower face lift
Before surgery the patient has a consultation with the doctor and undergoes necessary examinations. Laboratory tests or other diagnostic procedures may be recommended. Some time before surgery the doctor may advise limiting smoking and avoiding certain medications. Following these recommendations helps properly prepare the body for the procedure.
Recovery after a lower face lift
After surgery patients are advised to limit physical activity and follow their doctor’s recommendations. During the first days swelling or a feeling of tightness may occur. These symptoms gradually decrease as healing progresses. The final result develops over several months.

Frequently asked questions about lower facelift
Face Lift
How a lower face lift differs from a full face lift
A lower face lift focuses only on correcting the lower part of the face. A full face lift addresses a larger portion of the face and provides more comprehensive rejuvenation. The choice of procedure depends on individual indications.
Will it be noticeable that surgery was performed
Modern lifting techniques aim to achieve a natural result. During surgery tissues are repositioned to their anatomically correct position. This helps preserve natural facial expressions and proportions.
Where scars are located after surgery
Incisions are usually made in discreet areas such as near the ear or within the hairline. Because of this placement postoperative scars are usually barely visible. Over time they become lighter.
How long the results last
The results of a lower face lift can last for many years. Although surgery does not stop the natural aging process, it significantly improves facial contours. The duration of the result depends on individual characteristics of the patient.
Can the procedure be combined with other methods
A lower face lift is often combined with other rejuvenation procedures. For example, it may be performed together with blepharoplasty, lipofilling, or device-based treatments. This comprehensive approach helps achieve a more harmonious result.
