At AJ Plastic Surgery Centre, we believe looking younger isn’t about chasing perfection—it’s about restoring the best version of yourself.
A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is one of the most transformative procedures we offer, and it continues to grow in popularity among both women and men in Kenya.
If your face no longer reflects the energy you feel inside, a facelift could help you reclaim a more youthful, refreshed appearance—and we’re here to show you how.
What a facelift actually does
A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to lift, tighten, and reposition the deeper structures of the face, not just the skin.
It addresses sagging cheeks, deep smile lines (nasolabial folds), jowls, and loose skin around the jawline and neck.
At AJ Plastic Surgery Centre, our approach focuses on natural-looking results. That means no overstretched skin or “frozen” expressions—just a smoother, firmer, more rejuvenated version of you.
Who is a good candidate for a facelift?
The best candidates for a facelift are individuals with:
- Noticeable facial ageing, especially sagging skin or deep folds
- Good skin elasticity and bone structure
- Realistic expectations and overall good health
Facelift patients in Kenya typically range from their 40s to 70s, but it’s not about age—it’s about what you see in the mirror and how you want to feel.
During your consultation, we evaluate your facial structure and skin condition to determine whether a facelift is right for you.
Types of facelift procedures we offer
Every face is unique, so we tailor each procedure to the patient’s needs. At AJ Plastic Surgery Centre, we offer several types of facelifts:
Full facelift
Ideal for moderate to advanced signs of ageing. This procedure addresses sagging in the cheeks, jawline, and neck by lifting both skin and underlying tissue.
Mini facelift
A great option for younger patients or those with early signs of ageing. It targets the lower face and jawline using smaller incisions and a shorter recovery period.
Neck lift (often combined)
Loose skin and banding in the neck can add years to your appearance. A neck lift tightens this area to complete your facial rejuvenation.
If you’re unsure what type you need, we’ll walk you through the options during your consultation and explain the benefits of each based on your facial anatomy and goals.
You can also read more about neck lift surgery if your main concern is the jawline or neck area.
What to expect during and after surgery
Facelift surgery is performed under general anaesthesia in our fully accredited surgical suite.
Incisions are usually hidden along the hairline and around the ears, making them discreet once healed.
Most patients go home the same day or after a short overnight stay. Swelling and bruising are common but fade within two to three weeks.
We recommend taking about 10–14 days off work and avoiding strenuous activity for at least a month.
We guide you through every phase of recovery with personalised aftercare and regular follow-up appointments.
Your results will continue to improve as swelling reduces—and the compliments will likely follow.
Results that last for years
One of the key benefits of a facelift is long-lasting impact. While no surgery stops time, a facelift can take 5 to 10 years off your appearance and maintain that fresher look for many more years.
With a consistent skincare routine, sun protection, and a healthy lifestyle, your results will age gracefully and stay with you longer than non-surgical alternatives.
Some patients choose to complement their facelift with eyelid surgery, dermal fillers, or skin resurfacing treatments for a complete facial refresh.
We’ll explore these options with you based on your preferences.
