How long should I stay in Thailand for Full Facelift?

Post operative check up and stitches removal will be done 7 days after the surgery.
How is surgery performed?
The incision of mid-facelift begins above the hairline at the temple area, brought in front of the ear and looping behind the ear lobe. The surgeon separates the skin from fat and underlying structure. The excess skin is removed and tightened. Our surgeons are certified by national certified board. They also are well-trained both in Thailand and abroad.
