Facelift Instruments Manufactured in Our Own Factory
Aesthetic and facial plastic surgeons, cosmetic clinics and specialist distributors form the audience for this section. The instrument list follows the operation itself, marking and infiltration first, then skin flap elevation with long curved scissors, SMAS or deep plane dissection, platysma work in the neck, haemostasis under direct vision and finally fine closure at the hairline and preauricular skin. Blade curvature, edge geometry and shaft balance are set by hand at our benches, since a facelift scissor that is nose heavy or unevenly ground tires the surgeon well before the second side is finished.
Scissors are made in 18 cm to 24 cm lengths with slight, moderate and strong curves, in serrated and plain edge, with tungsten carbide inserts optional. Retractors are offered plain or fibre optic with narrow and broad blades for the neck. Skin hooks come in single, double and multi prong forms. Instruments are reusable, autoclavable at 134 degrees C, and available as a complete rhytidectomy set or as single pieces.

Choosing the Right Facelift Instruments
Curve And Edge On Facelift Scissors
Flap elevation is easier with a moderate curve, which follows the contour of the face and lets the surgeon spread as well as cut. Strongly curved patterns suit the mastoid and postauricular area, while nearly straight blades are better for platysma division in the midline neck. A serrated edge holds slippery subcutaneous tissue and reduces skidding. Most surgeons carry two curves and one length variation rather than a single compromise pair.
Fibre Optic Retraction For The Neck
Submental and lateral neck dissection is performed through a small incision some distance from the light source, which is why illuminated retractors are common in this operation. Fibre optic blades bring light onto the platysma and digastric plane and improve haemostasis by making small vessels visible before division. They need a matching cable and gentle handling. A plain retractor stays adequate for the preauricular flap where a headlight reaches easily.
Choosing Skin Hooks For Flap Handling
Facelift skin flaps are thin and unforgiving, so hook selection affects the final scar. Fine single prong hooks give precise control at the incision edge during closure, double prong hooks spread traction across a wider bite during elevation, and multi prong rakes hold the flap under steady tension without an assistant repositioning constantly. Keep hook points sharp and inspect them regularly, as a blunted point tears skin rather than holding it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What instruments does a facelift set need?
A working rhytidectomy set holds long curved facelift scissors in two curves, fine dissecting scissors, single and double prong skin hooks, a facelift retractor with a plain or fibre optic blade, a neck or platysma dissector, long fine tissue forceps, a long needle holder, mosquito forceps for haemostasis and marking instruments. Deep plane surgeons usually add a longer, more strongly curved scissor for the mid face.
Are tungsten carbide facelift scissors worth it?
Tungsten carbide inserts extend the sharp working life of scissors used through long dissection planes, which is exactly the demand a facelift places on them. For a surgeon operating a regular aesthetic list, carbide pays for itself in reduced regrinding and fewer replacements. Gold rings identify them on the tray. Plain stainless stays a reasonable choice for occasional cases or for a backup set.
Do you make instruments for deep plane and extended SMAS techniques?
The range covers the longer curved scissors, retractors and dissectors these techniques require, and we regularly manufacture patterns to surgeon specification. If you have adapted an instrument in your own practice, or want a particular blade curve, tip profile or shaft length, send a dimensioned drawing, a photograph or the instrument itself and we will make and submit a sample before batch production.
Can clinics order small branded quantities?
Yes. Minimum quantities for OEM and private label work are low enough for a single clinic to order a branded set, with your name laser marked on each instrument and packaging printed to your artwork. Distributors ordering larger volumes receive wholesale price bands. Marked samples are approved in writing before production, and finished orders ship by DHL or FedEx with tracking.
