Lower face sagging is a common concern for adults in Singapore, often caused by aging, reduced skin elasticity, and lifestyle factors. While surgical facelifts are an option, many individuals seek non-surgical lifting treatments for a subtler, lower-risk approach.
This article explores non-invasive options available in Singapore, how they work, their benefits, suitability, safety considerations, and cost factors.
Understanding Lower Face Sagging
Lower face sagging refers to the loosening or drooping of the cheeks, jawline and chin area. Signs may include:
- Jowls formation along the jawline
- Loss of skin firmness under the chin
- Mouth and cheek lines appearing deeper
Factors contributing to sagging include natural aging, sun exposure, genetics, and lifestyle habits such as smoking or poor sleep.
Non-Surgical Lower Face Lifting: How It Works
Non-surgical lifting treatments aim to stimulate skin tightening and improve facial contour without surgery. These procedures typically involve:
- Energy-based therapies:
- Ultrasound (HIFU) or radiofrequency (RF) treatments heat the deeper layers of the skin.
- Heat stimulates collagen production, supporting firmer, lifted skin over time.
- Injectable-based treatments:
- Dermal fillers restore volume, subtly lifting sagging areas.
- Botulinum toxin (Botox®) may relax muscles that contribute to sagging, improving facial contours indirectly.
- Thread lifting:
- Absorbable threads are inserted under the skin to provide temporary support and stimulate collagen.
- Effects appear gradually as skin tightens naturally.
Each option is minimally invasive, usually performed under local anesthesia or topical numbing, and requires little downtime.
Benefits of Non-Surgical Lifting Treatments
Non-surgical lower face lifting treatments offer several patient-centered benefits:
- Minimal downtime – Many treatments allow patients to resume daily activities immediately.
- Reduced risk compared to surgery – Lower chance of infection or scarring.
- Gradual, natural-looking improvement – Enhances facial contours subtly over time.
- Customizable approaches – Treatments can be tailored to individual skin types and desired outcomes.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
Non-surgical lifting treatments may be suitable for individuals who:
- Notice early signs of lower face sagging
- Prefer non-invasive options over surgery
- Are in good general health
- Have realistic expectations about treatment outcomes
Unsuitable candidates may include those with severe skin laxity, active infections, or certain medical conditions. A professional consultation is necessary to assess suitability.
Cost Factors in Singapore
The cost of non-surgical lower face lifting in Singapore varies depending on:
- Treatment type (HIFU, RF, fillers, thread lift)
- Number of sessions required
- Clinic reputation and location
- Specific products or devices used
Typical price ranges (as of 2025) may include:
- HIFU/RF treatments: SGD 800–3,000 per session
- Dermal fillers: SGD 600–2,000 per syringe
- Thread lift: SGD 1,500–5,000 per procedure
Consultation fees may apply separately. Many clinics offer assessment sessions to tailor the treatment plan to your needs.
Choosing the Right Treatment
Selecting the most appropriate non-surgical lifting option depends on:
- Extent of sagging – Early-stage sagging may respond well to HIFU or RF, while moderate sagging may benefit from fillers or threads.
- Desired outcomes – Some prefer gradual improvement (energy-based treatments), while others want immediate contouring (fillers or threads).
- Recovery considerations – Minimal downtime options are ideal for working professionals.
A qualified practitioner will provide a personalized treatment plan after evaluating skin quality, facial anatomy, and patient goals.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How long do non-surgical lifting results last?
Results vary per individual and treatment type. Energy-based treatments may last 6–12 months, while fillers or threads can last 6–18 months. Maintenance sessions are often recommended.
2. Is the treatment painful?
Most procedures involve mild discomfort. Topical anesthetics or local numbing may be used to ensure patient comfort.

Non-surgical lifting can improve mild to moderate sagging, but they may not fully replace surgical options for severe skin laxity. A consultation helps determine the best approach.
4. Are there any age restrictions?
Treatments are generally recommended for adults. Age suitability depends on skin condition and individual health.
5. How soon can I see results?
- Fillers and threads: Results are visible immediately or within a few days.

Proper aftercare supports better, longer-lasting results.
