Facelift (Rhytidectomy)

Understanding the investment for a facelift abroad involves several components. Cura provides transparent breakdowns so you know what to expect when obtaining your personalized quote:

• Surgeon’s fee: The primary charge covers the expertise and time of a board-certified plastic surgeon. Surgeons abroad may offer competitive rates without compromising quality.
• Facility and anesthesia charges: These include use of the operating room, monitoring equipment, medications, and the certified anesthesiologist’s services.
• Preoperative tests and imaging: Lab work, ECG, and preoperative consultations ensure you are a safe candidate and help the surgeon plan your procedure precisely.
• Postoperative care package: Follow-up visits, dressing changes, and basic wound care supplies are bundled into your package for convenience.
• Accommodation and airport transfers: Many clinics partner with local hotels and transport services to simplify your stay. These arrangements are optional but often include special rates negotiated by Cura.
• Interpreter services: If needed, professional interpreters can accompany you throughout appointments to ensure clear communication.

The facelift procedure involves a series of precise stages to achieve natural-looking rejuvenation:

• Anesthesia and preparation: You’ll receive general anesthesia or IV sedation to ensure comfort. The surgical area is cleansed and marked to guide incisions accurately.
• Incision placement: The surgeon creates incisions along the hairline and around the ears, tailoring their length to the amount of lift required. These hidden incisions reduce visible scarring.
• Tissue repositioning: Underlying muscles and connective tissues are carefully lifted and secured, restoring firmness to the midface and jawline. Excess skin is trimmed to eliminate sagging.
• Closure and dressing: Incisions are closed with fine sutures or skin adhesives to promote minimal scarring. A light dressing and gentle compression help control swelling.
• Recovery initiation: You’re moved to a recovery area for close monitoring. Pain management and initial postoperative instructions are provided before discharge.

Cura’s streamlined process ensures a smooth experience from first contact to final follow-up:

• Initial consultation: Submit your photos and medical history via our online portal. Our coordinators will arrange a virtual meeting with the surgeon to assess your candidacy and discuss expectations.
• Personalized planning: After reviewing your case, we outline a detailed itinerary, including appointment dates, facility information, and accommodation options.
• Travel and admission: Upon your arrival, you’re welcomed at the airport and escorted to your hotel or clinic. Pre-admission checks are conducted before surgery day.
• Surgery day: You arrive at the facility, meet your surgical team, and undergo the procedure. Postoperative recovery begins in a comfortable suite.
• Follow-up and discharge: Over the next week, you attend scheduled follow-up appointments. Once cleared, you return home with detailed care instructions and remote support from Cura’s team.

Choosing to travel abroad for a facelift offers access to renowned specialists, cost savings, and the chance to recover in inspiring settings. Popular destinations combine robust medical infrastructure with cultural appeal:

• Iran: Iran has a long tradition of excellence in facial cosmetic surgery, with surgeons trained in both modern and classical techniques. Clinics in Tehran and Shiraz offer top-tier facilities and personalized care. International patients benefit from competitive pricing and the opportunity to explore Persian heritage sites during recovery.
• Turkey: Istanbul and Ankara feature cutting-edge cosmetic surgery centers staffed by internationally accredited surgeons. Patients appreciate the integration of wellness tourism with historic charm, plus streamlined visa processes for many nationalities.
• Thailand: Bangkok’s medical district blends state-of-the-art hospitals with luxury resort-style recovery suites. The country’s hospitality extends to holistic aftercare, including massage and traditional therapies that complement surgical healing.
• Mexico: Cities like Tijuana and Mexico City attract North American patients seeking convenience and short-haul travel. Accredited facilities offer bilingual staff, and curated recovery retreats help enhance privacy and relaxation.

Facelift procedures are often combined with other facial enhancements for a comprehensive rejuvenation plan:

• Upper or lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) to address eyelid hooding and under-eye bags simultaneously.
• Neck lift to refine the jawline and neck contour, ensuring harmony between face and neck areas.
• Fat grafting or dermal fillers to restore volume in cheeks, temples, and lips for a balanced, youthful appearance.
• Brow lift to elevate sagging brows and reduce forehead lines, complementing the lower-face improvement.
