Facelift & Neck Lift✦ in Pune
(Deep-Plane SMAS, Platysmaplasty & Endoscopic Brow Lift)
Deep-Plane Rhytidectomy, Corset Platysmaplasty & Endoscopic Brow Elevation
Facial aging occurs deep beneath the surface. Over time, facial retaining ligaments relax, allowing cheek fat pads to descend into jowls and loose neck bands. Pulling only the skin creates an artificial, tight appearance that relapses quickly.

Your Healing Journey & Recovery Timeline✦
A straightforward clinical timeline of what to expect and how your results mature week by week.
Initial Rest & Hospital Discharge
Mild tightness and soft swelling. Protective bandage is removed on Day 2. Mild discomfort is comfortably managed with prescribed oral medication.
Sleep with 2 pillows to encourage natural lymphatic drainage and reduce morning puffiness.
Micro-Suture Removal & Mobility
Swelling begins to recede steadily. Dr. Gujarathi gently removes fine micro-sutures at your follow-up clinic visit.
Avoid direct heat, steam, saunas, and bending down.
Social Confidence & Work Return
Approximately 80–85% of visible swelling has cleared. Incision lines mature into faint lines concealed around ear folds.
Apply daily broad-spectrum SPF 50+ mineral sunscreen over incision contours.
Final Settling & 10–15 Year Longevity
Deep tissues fully soften and settle into their refreshed, youthful vectors. Results reflect permanent structural rejuvenation.
Enjoy your natural, refreshed appearance with permanent anatomical stability.
Recommended Best Practices & Precautions✦
Essential surgical safeguards and post-operative instructions recommended by Dr. Chintan Gujarathi to protect your incisions and ensure smooth recovery.
Recommended Best Practices (Do's)
- Keep your head elevated at 30–45° while resting for the first week to accelerate swelling resolution.
- Apply cool compresses gently around the cheeks for the first 48 hours (avoid direct ice on incisions).
- Maintain generous hydration and a soft, nutrient-dense diet during the initial 4 to 5 days.
- Take prescribed antibiotics and mild analgesics on schedule as directed.
- Attend your scheduled Day 5–7 clinic visit for gentle suture removal and healing review.
Precautions & Safeguards (Don'ts)
- Do not bend forward, strain, or lift heavy objects (>5 kg) for at least 2 to 3 weeks.
- Do not expose fresh incisions to direct sunlight, hot showers, steam saunas, or pools.
- Do not rub, massage, or exert friction on your cheeks or neck until cleared by Dr. Gujarathi.
- Do not smoke or consume nicotine for 4 weeks post-op, as nicotine constricts microvascular healing.
- Do not sleep on your side or stomach during early healing to avoid pressure on incisions.
