Face Lift

A facelift addresses sagging in the lower face by lifting and repositioning deeper tissues and removing excess skin for a smoother, more youthful contour. It can improve jowls, soften deep creases, and restore jawline definition, often with a neck lift for more complete rejuvenation. Modern techniques aim for natural-looking results by restoring structure - not simply pulling the skin tight.

Candidates

Ideal candidates for a facelift are individuals experiencing facial sagging, jowling, or deep facial folds that cannot be adequately addressed with non-surgical treatments. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations. A facelift can be customized to address mild to advanced signs of aging and may be combined with other facial procedures for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Treatment Areas

A facelift primarily treats the midface, lower face, jawline, and often the neck. Depending on the technique used, it can improve the cheeks, nasolabial folds, jowls, marionette lines, and neck contour.

Procedure

Facelift techniques are tailored to each patient’s anatomy and goals. Modern approaches focus on repositioning the deeper facial support structures rather than simply tightening the skin.

  • SMAS Facelift: The SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) facelift addresses the underlying muscle and connective tissue layer of the face. By lifting and securing this deeper layer, the surgeon achieves a more natural, longer-lasting result while reducing tension on the skin.

  • Deep Plane Facelift: A deep plane facelift releases and repositions deeper facial tissues as a single unit, allowing for powerful rejuvenation of the midface, jawline, and nasolabial folds. This technique can provide dramatic yet natural results, particularly for patients with more advanced facial aging.

  • Mini Facelift: A mini facelift is a less invasive option for patients with early signs of aging, focusing primarily on mild jowling and jawline laxity. It typically involves shorter incisions, less dissection, and a quicker recovery, while still providing noticeable improvement.


​​​​​​​Incisions are carefully placed around the ears and hairline to remain discreet. The procedure is performed under anesthesia, and recovery is gradual as swelling resolves and results refine over time.
