Faceliftwithout surgery
A doctor-led lifting plan for a face that has dropped — mid-face, jawline and neck. No incisions, no general anaesthetic, no month indoors.
- No surgery, no downtimeNo incisions, no general anaesthetic, no scars. You go back to your week.
- Planned by a doctorDr. Connie Calista Tham maps the face and sets the sequence. Nothing is delegated.
- A sequence, not a packageTreatments in the right order, spaced properly. You get the plan and the total up front.
- We'll say if it's not enoughSome faces need a surgeon. If yours does, we'll tell you rather than sell you six sessions.
What it is
A plan, not a procedure
Facelift care at Aeconic is a combined, non-surgical lifting programme for sagging tissue along the mid-face, jawline and neck. It isn't one treatment with a name — it's several, sequenced deliberately, because no single injectable or device lifts a face on its own.
A face that looks like it has dropped is usually three problems at once. Collagen and elastin have weakened, so the skin no longer holds. Deep fat pads have shrunk and slid downward, so support has gone. And the muscles that pull down have kept working while the ones that lift have not. Treating any one of those alone produces the flat, overfilled result everybody recognises.
So we treat them in order. Tighten and stimulate collagen at depth first, rebuild support second, restore volume where it's genuinely lost third, and release the downward pull last. Each step makes the next one need less.
What this is not is a surgical facelift. Surgery repositions tissue and removes skin; nothing non-surgical does that. What a plan like this does well is turn the clock back a few years and hold it there — and for most people in their thirties, forties and early fifties, that's the actual goal.
The plan
What goes into a lifting plan
Every plan is built from the same set of components, in a different combination and a different order. Filter by the part of the face you want to change, or by the layer being treated.
Filter by what you want to change — or describe it in consultation and we'll map the sequence, including which steps you don't need.
Liftera 2 ultrasound lifting
Focused ultrasound delivered to the SMAS layer, tightening tissue and triggering collagen at a depth nothing topical reaches. Usually the first step, because everything after it works better on tighter skin.
No injection, no downtime
Collagen biostimulator
Rebuilds structural support across the plane rather than at a point, so the lift reads across the whole mid-face. Builds through month three and holds 12 to 18 months.
Not reversible — dosed carefully
Dermal filler, where volume is genuinely lost
Placed after firmness has been restored, not before — which is why a sequenced plan usually needs fewer syringes than treating the face with filler alone. Reversible, and used sparingly here.
Less than you'd expect
Toxin to release the downward pull
Relaxing the platysma and the muscles that pull the mouth corners and jawline down lets the lifted tissue sit where it was put. Small doses, large effect on how the lower face reads.
Nefertiti lift & platysmal bands
Masseter slimming
On a wide or square lower face, narrowing an overdeveloped chewing muscle does more for the jaw outline than any amount of filler along it. Often the cheapest step with the most visible return.
Assessed at consultation
Skin quality work
Boosters, polynucleotides or peeling, depending on what the surface needs. Lifted skin that is still crepey and dull reads as tired — the structure and the surface have to move together.
Runs alongside
Mid-face and cheeks
Where the drop starts. Restoring support here lifts the smile lines and the jowl line above them, so those areas often need no direct treatment at all.
Treated first
Jawline and jowls
The outline most patients actually come in about. Treated from above and below — support in the mid-face, release of the downward muscles, definition along the mandible.
Usually the main goal
Neck and submental
The area that gives age away and the one most plans neglect. Platysmal bands, loose skin under the chin and horizontal neck lines each need a different tool.
Often the deciding factor
The order costs less than the list suggests
Nobody has all of these. A typical plan uses two or three components across two to four months, and doing them in sequence usually costs less than treating the same face with filler alone — because each step reduces what the next one needs. Send a photo and tell us what you see in the mirror, and we'll map it before you commit to anything.
Ask on WhatsAppComponents are indicative. Your plan depends on your anatomy, your timeline and your budget, and is confirmed by the doctor after examining your face — not estimated from a photograph.
Honest answer
When surgery is the right answer
There is a point past which no injectable and no device will do the job, and pretending otherwise wastes years and a lot of money.
Non-surgical works well for early to moderate laxity — a softening jawline, a mid-face that has flattened, a neck that has lost tone but not skin. Most patients in their thirties, forties and early fifties sit here.
Surgery is the honest recommendation when there is genuine excess skin to remove, when the platysma has separated, or when the jowl hangs below the jaw line. Non-surgical treatment on that face produces heaviness, not lift — and each round of filler makes the next surgeon's job harder.
We don't perform surgery at Aeconic. That means we have nothing to gain by telling you that you need it, and we'll say so plainly when you do. If a plan here can get you 60 or 70 per cent of the way, we'll tell you that number honestly and let you decide whether it's worth it.
Pricing
What a lifting plan costs in Bali
Facelift care is priced as a plan, because it's a plan — built from the components below, in the combination your face actually needs. You get the whole figure in writing at consultation, not one appointment at a time.
We total the sessions your plan requires and confirm it before anything starts. Nothing is added mid-treatment, and you are never asked to commit to a package on a first visit.
Per area for the under-eye; full face from IDR 4,500,000. Ultrasound tightening is the most common first step and the least expensive way to begin.
Dermal filler from IDR 4,200,000 per syringe; collagen biostimulators from IDR 4,200,000; Botox from IDR 55,000 per unit. Most plans use two of the three.
Prices are in Indonesian Rupiah and confirmed before treatment starts. A plan is almost always less than the sum of its parts treated separately, because sequencing reduces how much of each component is needed. For an indicative figure before you travel, message us on WhatsApp with a photo and a description of what you'd like to change.
Who plans it
The sequence is the treatment
Every facelift care plan at Aeconic is assessed and delivered by our clinic doctor, Dr. Connie Calista Tham. Nothing is delegated to a therapist, and nothing is injected before an examination.
Anyone can list treatments. The judgement is in the order and the restraint — knowing that the jawline is a mid-face problem, that filling a jowl makes it heavier, that toxin in the platysma does more for a neck than another syringe under the chin, and that the fourth step often becomes unnecessary once the first three have settled.
That judgement also decides what we leave out. A plan that includes every component we sell is a plan built around the price list rather than your face. Most of ours use two or three.
If a plan here can't get you where you want to be, Dr. Connie will say so and explain what can. Sometimes that's a surgeon, and we'll tell you that even though it means the appointment ends there.

Duration & results
What happens, and when
Assessment and mapping
The doctor examines your face at rest and in movement, identifies which layer has actually changed, and writes the sequence with timings and the total cost.
Tighten first
Ultrasound lifting and, where indicated, the biostimulator. Minimal downtime — mild swelling, back to normal the same day or the next.
Build and refine
Collagen from the first steps has settled, so we can see what's genuinely still missing. Volume and toxin go in here, usually in smaller amounts than first estimated.
Hold it
A maintenance visit once or twice a year keeps the result rather than rebuilding it. Sun exposure is the single biggest factor in how fast it fades.
Timings are typical. Results build progressively rather than appearing on the day, and are reviewed at each stage before the next step is confirmed.
Before & aftercare
Protecting the result in a tropical climate
Because a plan combines several treatments, the aftercare is whichever rule is strictest on the day. Here that means planning around the sun and the water rather than assuming they'll wait.
Before each session
- Skip alcohol, caffeine and blood-thinning supplements — fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo — for 24 hours before injectable steps.
- Pause anti-inflammatories where your prescribing doctor allows it. Never stop prescribed medication without asking them first.
- No dental work in the week before or after lower-face work.
- Stop retinol, acids and scrubs for 3 days so the barrier is calm.
- Arrive hydrated, rested and having eaten, with clean skin and no heavy makeup.
- Tell us if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have an autoimmune condition, or have had filler, biostimulator or thread work in the same area before.
- Don't start a plan within a month of a wedding, shoot or flight home. This builds over months, not days.
After each session
- Mild swelling, redness or bruising is normal and settles within days. Some of what you see on day one is swelling, not result.
- Stay upright for 4 – 6 hours after injectable steps and avoid sleeping on the treated side for two nights.
- Don't press or massage the area unless we've specifically shown you how.
- No sauna, steam, hot yoga or heavy exercise for 48 hours.
- No sea, pool or surf for 48 hours after any injectable step.
- High-SPF sunscreen and a hat daily, without exception. UV degrades new collagen faster than anything else on this island.
- No facials, peels, RF or laser over the treated area for 2 weeks.
- Message the clinic directly if anything concerns you between sessions rather than waiting for your next appointment.
You'll be given aftercare specific to each step on the day, since the components differ. Where two treatments are performed in one visit, the stricter set applies.
Results
Before and after, unretouched
Photographed in the same light, at the same angle, with patient consent. Lifting plans are documented across months, because that's how they work.
Want to see a case like yours?
We keep a fuller archive in clinic, photographed at each stage of the plan rather than only at the end. Ask to see cases matched to your face shape, your age and your concern during consultation — including the ones where we recommended surgery instead.
Ask on WhatsAppIndividual results vary. Photographs are of real patients treated at Aeconic and are published with consent. These results reflect combined non-surgical plans rather than a single treatment, and are not comparable to surgical facelift outcomes. No treatment outcome is guaranteed; suitability is confirmed at consultation.
The components
What each part actually does
A plan is only as good as the reasoning behind each choice. These are the three treatments that do most of the lifting, and what each is for.
Liftera 2 ultrasound lifting
Focused ultrasound that tightens and stimulates collagen at the SMAS layer with no injection at all. The usual first step, and the only component that works on the same layer a surgeon would.
Liftera 2 lifting →Collagen biostimulators
Rebuild structural support across a plane and hold 12 to 18 months, because the firmness becomes your own tissue. Not reversible, which is why they're dosed conservatively within a plan.
Collagen biostimulator →Dermal fillers & toxin
Filler restores volume that is genuinely gone; toxin releases the muscles pulling the lower face down. Both do more with less once the tightening and support steps have settled.
Dermal filler treatments →| Component | Layer treated | What it does | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liftera 2 ultrasound | SMAS & deep dermis | Tightens, stimulates collagen at depth | 9 – 12 months |
| Collagen biostimulator | Subcutaneous | Rebuilds structural support | 12 – 18 months |
| Dermal filler | Deep tissue | Restores lost volume and contour | 6 – 18 months |
| Botulinum toxin | Muscle | Releases downward pull, slims masseter | 3 – 6 months |
| Skin boosters | Dermis | Hydration, texture and surface quality | 4 – 6 months |
| Surgical facelift | SMAS & skin | Repositions tissue, removes excess skin | 5 – 10 years |
Duration figures are typical ranges for guidance, not guarantees. Surgical facelift is listed for comparison only — it is not performed at Aeconic. See also skin boosters and Botox.
Visiting Bali
Timing a plan around your trip
A large share of our patients are travellers and expats on the west coast. A lifting plan runs across months, so a two-week trip and a six-month stay call for different approaches.
Short trip? Tell us at booking. We'll build a version that front-loads what works as a single session — usually ultrasound and a biostimulator — and review the rest by photo. We won't start a four-step sequence you can't finish.
Two days out of the water after each injectable step. No sea, no pool, no surf. Book around your surf days, not into them.
Leave a month before anything that matters. Results build rather than appear, and some steps dip before they improve. A wedding three weeks after starting catches it at the worst possible point.
Living in Canggu? This is where a plan makes most sense, and where it's hardest to maintain. UV here breaks collagen down faster than anywhere temperate — sunscreen isn't aftercare, it's half the treatment.

Questions
Before you book
Anything not covered here, message us — we answer WhatsApp during clinic hours, Monday to Saturday.
Is this a surgical facelift?
No. Facelift care at Aeconic is a non-surgical lifting programme — a sequence of treatments that tighten, rebuild support and release downward muscle pull, with no incisions, no general anaesthetic and no scars. Surgery is not performed at our clinic.
That distinction matters, so we make it plainly: a surgical facelift repositions tissue and removes excess skin, and nothing non-surgical does that. What a plan like this does well is turn the clock back a few years and hold it there. If your face needs more than that, we'll tell you at consultation rather than sell you a course that can't reach the problem.
How much does a non-surgical facelift cost in Bali?
It's priced as a plan, because it is one. The components have published prices: Liftera 2 ultrasound from IDR 500,000 per area or IDR 4,500,000 for full face, dermal filler from IDR 4,200,000 per syringe, collagen biostimulators from IDR 4,200,000, and Botox from IDR 55,000 per unit.
Most plans use two or three of those across two to four months. We total your plan and confirm it in writing at consultation, before anything starts — and a sequenced plan is almost always less than treating the same face with filler alone, because each step reduces what the next one needs.
How do I know whether I need this or actual surgery?
Roughly: if there is excess skin to remove, you need a surgeon. Non-surgical treatment works well for early to moderate laxity — a softening jawline, a flattened mid-face, a neck that has lost tone but not skin. It works poorly where the jowl hangs below the jaw line or the platysma has separated.
We don't perform surgery, so we have nothing to gain from telling you that you need it. If a plan here can get you 60 or 70 per cent of the way, we'll give you that number honestly and let you decide whether it's worth doing.
How long does it last?
Typically 12 to 18 months before a maintenance visit, depending on which components your plan used. Collagen biostimulators hold longest at 12 to 18 months, ultrasound tightening around 9 to 12, toxin 3 to 6, filler 6 to 18 depending on the area.
Maintenance is far cheaper than the initial plan, because you're holding a result rather than rebuilding one. Sun exposure is the single biggest factor in how fast it fades — daily high-SPF sunscreen genuinely changes the interval.
Is there downtime?
Minimal, and that's the main reason people choose this over surgery. Expect mild swelling, redness and occasional bruising for a few days after injectable steps; ultrasound lifting usually leaves nothing visible at all. Most patients are presentable the same evening.
The restrictions are short: stay upright for 4 to 6 hours after injectables, no sauna or heavy exercise for 48 hours, no sea or pool for 48 hours, and no facials, peels or laser over the area for two weeks.
How many sessions will I need?
Most plans run two to four appointments across two to four months. The first session tightens and stimulates; the later ones add only what's still genuinely missing once the earlier steps have settled — which is usually less than estimated at the start.
You'll get the full sequence, the spacing and the total at consultation. If your plan turns out to need less than we quoted, you pay less; we don't hold you to a package.
Can I do it while on holiday in Bali?
Partly. Tell us your dates at booking and we'll build a version that front-loads what works as a single session, usually ultrasound lifting and a biostimulator, then review the rest by photo. We won't start a four-step sequence you can't finish.
After each injectable step: no sea, pool or surf for 48 hours, no sauna or heavy exercise in the same window, and high-SPF sunscreen daily. Leave a clear month before a wedding or a shoot — this builds over time and some steps dip before they improve.
Where is Aeconic Clinic located and what are your opening hours?
Aeconic Clinic is at Jl. Subak Sari No. 30a, Tibubeneng, Kuta Utara, Badung, Bali 80361 — in the Canggu–Berawa area, a few minutes from Batu Bolong and Berawa Beach. We're open Monday to Saturday, 10:00 to 17:00, and closed on Sundays.
Appointments are booked through WhatsApp on +62 811 2503 3440, which is also the fastest way to check same-day availability. There's on-site parking for cars and scooters, and we accept all payment types — though cashless is faster at checkout.
Guide
Choosing a non-surgical facelift in Bali
"Facelift" is the most oversold word in aesthetics, and in Canggu it gets attached to everything from a facial to a thread lift. These are the questions worth asking before you spend anything.
Ask what's actually in the plan
A non-surgical facelift is not a treatment; it's a combination. Ask which specific treatments, in what order, at what spacing, and why each one. A clinic that answers "our signature lift" without naming the components is selling a brand, not a plan.
Ask what they'd leave out
The tell of a good plan is what isn't in it. If every component on the price list appears in your quote, the plan was built around the menu rather than your face. Most of ours use two or three.
Ask whether you actually need surgery
This is the question most clinics avoid, because the honest answer costs them the sale. A clinic that never recommends a surgeon is either seeing an extraordinarily young patient list or isn't telling you. Ask directly, and ask what percentage of the result a non-surgical plan can realistically deliver on your face.
Ask who performs it
In Indonesia, injectables are a medical act. Ask whether a doctor performs the assessment and the injections, or whether a therapist does it under nominal supervision. At Aeconic, Dr. Connie Calista Tham assesses and treats — there is no version of the visit where that changes.
Be careful with threads
Thread lifts are marketed heavily here as a non-surgical facelift. They can work in carefully selected cases, but they are frequently placed in faces that needed support rebuilt rather than tissue pulled, and the result fades within months while making later treatment harder. Ask what happens when they dissolve.
Ask what maintenance looks like
Every non-surgical result fades. The question isn't whether, it's what holding it costs each year and what happens if you stop. A clinic that only prices the first plan hasn't told you the real number.
