What is a Facelift?

A facelift, also called rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that tightens and lifts facial skin and underlying tissues to create a more youthful, defined facial contour. It addresses sagging jowls, loose jawline definition, deep nasolabial folds, and loose neck skin—creating a refreshed, more vibrant appearance.

Unlike non-surgical treatments (which provide temporary results), a facelift offers lasting transformation by repositioning tissue and tightening skin. When done well, results look natural—not pulled or “over-lifted.”

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

An informed decision is a confident one

What Should You Know Before Facelift?

Facelift creates dramatic rejuvenation, and informed patients have the best experience. Here’s what to expect:

01

You’ll have scars

Incisions follow natural creases around the ears and hairline, making scars well- concealed. Scars fade significantly over 12-18 months.

02

Bruising and swelling are expected

Significant bruising and swelling peak at 3-5 days post-op. Most resolves by week 2-3, but mild swelling can persist longer.

03

Your face will feel tight

Temporary tightness and numbness are normal as your face adjusts to the new position. Sensation returns over weeks to months.

04

Results improve over months

Initial results appear around week 2-3, but final contouring develops over 3-6 months as swelling fully resolves.

05

You may combine with other procedure

Facelift pairs well with Blepharoplasty, Facial Fat Grafting, Skin Resurfacing, or Rhinoplasty for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

06

Results last many years

Most patients enjoy facelift results for 10+ years. Aging continues at a normal pace after that, but you’ll always look better than if you hadn’t had the procedure.

A refreshed you, naturally

Facelift

Address visible signs of facial aging with a personalized surgical approach. A facelift can help soften deep folds, improve sagging around the cheeks and jawline, and create a firmer, more defined facial contour while preserving your natural features.

A traditional facelift

A traditional facelift targets visible sagging in the midface, along the jawline, and in the lower face. Through carefully placed incisions, your surgeon repositions underlying tissues and removes excess skin to create a smoother, more defined appearance. The goal is to refresh your facial contours without making you look overdone. Your surgical plan is tailored to your anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals.

Personalized facial rejuvenation

Every face ages differently. Your consultation will focus on your concerns, facial structure, and desired outcome to determine the most appropriate approach. Depending on your needs, your surgeon may discuss a facelift alone or in combination with procedures such as a neck lift or eyelid surgery. Recovery varies, and your surgeon will explain the expected healing process, potential risks, and realistic results for your individual treatment plan.

Facelift Techniques

Your surgeon will recommend the technique based on your specific concerns:

Traditional Facelift (SMAS LIFT)

Tightens both skin and the deeper SMAS layer for comprehensive rejuvenation. Most versatile approach.

Mini Facelift

Addresses mild to moderate sagging with shorter incisions and shorter recovery. Less dramatic results for milder aging.

Extended Facelift

Addresses more extensive sagging, including upper face and eye area. More comprehensive than traditional facelift.

Neck Facelift

Specifically addresses loose, sagging neck skin and platysmal banding. Can be combined with facelift or done alone.
