Face Lift Options in Lucknow

The Spectrum of Face Lifting Options

Not every patient who wants a "face lift" needs surgery. At Gomti Clinic, we assess facial laxity and recommend the appropriate level of intervention:

Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

Best for: Early signs of sagging (mild jowling, loose neck skin, loss of jawline definition) in patients aged 30–50

• HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound): Delivers focused energy to the deep skin layers, stimulating collagen production. No downtime. Results develop over 2–3 months
• RF (Radiofrequency) tightening: Heats dermal tissue to trigger collagen remodeling. Multiple sessions needed
• Combination with fillers: Strategic filler placement can create a lifting effect — restoring cheek volume lifts the lower face

Limitations: Non-surgical options produce subtle improvement. If you have significant sagging, the result won't match a surgical outcome.

Thread Lift

Best for: Moderate sagging with some skin elasticity remaining. Ages 35–55. Provides a visible but not dramatic lift.

• PDO or PLLA threads are inserted under the skin using needles
• The threads physically lift sagging tissue and stimulate collagen around themselves
• Procedure takes 45–60 minutes under local anaesthesia
• Recovery: 3–5 days of swelling, mild soreness
• Results last 12–18 months as the threads gradually dissolve

Limitations: Thread lifts are not mini-facelifts. They provide modest improvement. They're not suitable for patients with very heavy or very lax skin.

Surgical Facelift

For significant facial sagging that non-surgical options cannot adequately address, we provide referral coordination with trusted plastic surgeons in Lucknow. We believe in staying within our scope rather than performing procedures outside our specialty.

What We Recommend Starting With

For most patients in their 30s–40s from Gomti Nagar, Hazratganj, and Aliganj who visit for "face lifting":

1. Start with strategic Botox and fillers — often achieves 60–70% of what they're looking for
2. Add HIFU or RF skin tightening for additional benefit
3. Consider thread lift if non-surgical options don't give sufficient improvement
