Facial surgery

Facelift in Medellín

A facelift repositions and tightens the deeper tissues of the face and neck, and removes excess skin, to address sagging, deeper folds and loss of definition. A good facelift looks natural and rested rather than “pulled”.

Who is facelift for?

Often a good fit if

  • You notice sagging in the lower face, jawline or neck
  • Your skin still has some elasticity
  • You’re in good general health and don’t smoke
  • You want a natural, refreshed result rather than a dramatic change

May not be right if

  • You smoke and aren’t ready to stop before and after surgery
  • You have conditions that affect healing, which your surgeon will evaluate
  • You expect a facelift to change your appearance completely

Only your surgeon can confirm whether you’re a candidate, after reviewing your health and goals.

How facelift works

  1. 1

    Planning

    Your surgeon assesses your face and neck, and plans the technique and incisions, usually hidden near the hairline and around the ears.

  2. 2

    Surgery

    Deeper tissues are lifted and repositioned, and excess skin is removed. The neck is addressed if planned.

  3. 3

    Healing

    Dressings or a supportive wrap are worn in the first days, and you’ll rest with your head elevated.

Recovery after facelift

  1. First days

    Swelling, bruising and a tight feeling are normal. You’ll rest with your head elevated.

  2. Week 1–2

    Check-ups and stitch removal. Bruising fades gradually.

  3. Week 3–4

    Most patients feel presentable and return to routines, avoiding strenuous exercise.

  4. Month 3–6

    Residual swelling settles and the final result appears.

Timelines are typical and vary from person to person. Your surgeon gives you a plan for your own recovery.

Risks and what to know

Every surgery carries risks. These are the main ones for facelift; your surgeon will explain them in detail and how they’re reduced.

  • Swelling and bruising, usually temporary
  • Scars near the ears and hairline, which fade but are permanent
  • Temporary or, rarely, lasting numbness or nerve weakness in the face
  • A collection of blood (hematoma), which may need treatment
  • Delayed healing, especially in smokers
  • Risks linked to anesthesia, reviewed with your anesthesiologist

FAQ

Facelift in Medellín: your questions

Straight answers to what patients ask us most.

How long do facelift results last?

A facelift doesn’t stop aging, but it turns back the clock on the tissues that were lifted. Many patients enjoy their results for years. Lifestyle, skin quality and genetics all influence how it ages.

How long should I stay in Medellín?

We recommend at least 14–17 days after surgery, plus 3–5 days before it, to allow healing and follow-up. Your surgeon confirms the exact time.

How much does a facelift cost in Medellín?

Reference range is USD $6,300 – $11,100 (about COP 20,000,000 – 35,000,000), depending on the technique, whether the neck is included, the surgeon and the clinic. The final price is confirmed after your surgeon’s evaluation.

Will it look natural?

The goal is a natural, rested look. The choice of surgeon matters: review their experience and plan your expectations with them during your consultation.

Can it be combined with other procedures?

Often yes, for example with eyelid surgery. Combining procedures lengthens surgery and recovery, so your surgeon will advise what is appropriate.
