Facelift in Thailand
If you’re considering a facelift, it’s important to choose the right surgeon. Our board-certified plastic surgeons have performed facelift surgeries in Thailand for over 20 years.
No matter how well you stay out of the sun and care for your skin, everyone eventually succumbs to gravity and lost facial volume. While facial volume loss produces a hollow appearance around the eyes and in the cheeks, gravity causes the skin to sag and create the appearance of jowls and “turkey neck.” Fortunately, advancements in aesthetic treatments are enabling more and more people to counteract these signs of aging. As a result, more people are keeping their youthful looks and enjoying the best things in life longer.
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure used to reduce visible signs of aging in your face and neck. A facelift can include removing excessive facial skin, smoothing out wrinkles or skin folds and tightening the facial tissues, effectively “turning back the clock” on aging by making skin appear smoother and more youthful.
Facelift surgery is suitable for men and women who have a well-defined bone structure, but are concerned about sagging skin in the face and neck. It is considered one of the most effective and satisfying surgical anti-aging treatments that provides long-lasting results as well as a dramatically improved facial appearance.

Facelift Techniques
Doctor Theerapong performs facelift surgery in Bangkok using the SMAS plication technique to tighten muscles and remove excess skin and fat.
What is an SMAS Facelift?
- The superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) layers under the skin are tightened and lifted.
- Best for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity and sagging along the lower face and neck.
- Recovery is usually quicker than a deep plane lift.
This procedure creates a sharper jawline and tighter neck for a more youthful facial appearance.
The Procedure
There are many different types of facelifts, and each is tailored to meet specific needs.
Traditional Facelift
A traditional facelift addresses signs of aging such as deep wrinkles and sagging skin on the jawline, cheeks, and neck. The procedure involves incisions that begin at the temples, continue along the hairline, circle around the ears, and extend along the jawline down to the neck. During the surgery, your surgeon will tighten the skin and underlying muscles to achieve a more youthful appearance.
Mid facelift
The Mid Facelift targets the area from the upper cheeks to the lower eyelids, enhancing the depth of the cheekbones and smoothing the nasolabial folds for a refreshed look. It creates a more youthful appearance by smoothing the transition between the lower eyelids and upper cheek region.
Neck lift
A Neck Lift specifically addresses signs of aging in the neck and jawline area, eliminating loose skin and excess fat to restore a smoother, more defined neck contour.
During your consultation, your surgeon will recommend a particular procedure that is best suited for your specific needs.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Facelift?
Ideal candidates for a facelift include men and women who:
- Are in overall good health
- Have mild to moderate skin sagging in the mid and lower face
- Have a defined jawline that has begun to soften
- Have excess fat and loose skin under the chin area
- Are bothered by signs of aging but not ready for more aggressive surgery
- Have realistic expectations for surgical rejuvenation
The doctor will evaluate your individual needs and recommend the best solution for you during your consultation.
Facelift at Interplast Clinic in Bangkok
Not all facelifts are the same. The different types of facelift surgery can vary by the area of the face they are performed on as well as the types of incisions used. Here is a short guide to the two main types of facelifts performed at our plastic surgery clinic in Bangkok.
Facelift Recovery
After surgery, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Prescription medication can help manage your pain. You will need to keep your head elevated for several days to help reduce swelling. Most people return to work within two weeks of the procedure but may take longer depending on the type of facelift undertaken. If you’re traveling to Thailand from abroad, you should be prepared to stay in Thailand 10-14 days after your procedure.
Many people are worried about visible scarring following facelift surgery, and this is understandable. However, advancements in surgical techniques have significantly contributed to minimizing their visibility. At Interplast Clinic, we prioritize careful incision placement in less noticeable areas and provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing. Remember, a little patience and following post-operative care guidelines can lead to beautifully subtle results, where the benefits far outweigh the initial concerns about scars.
