01
The Procedure

What is a Facelift?

A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgery that makes the face look more youthful. During this procedure, incisions are made near the hairline and ears to reposition and tighten the underlying skin and muscles. Excess skin is removed, and the remaining tissue is lifted. The average duration of a facelift is, depending on the extent of changes and techniques used.

Most of the time, our facelifts include a neck lift to address signs of aging in the neck area, such as excess fat, loose skin, and bands or cords in the neck muscles. During the surgery, incisions are made under the chin to tighten the muscles and remove excess tissue. This creates a smoother and more youthful neck profile.

Variants

Types of Facelift

Mini Facelift. A less invasive form aimed at reducing visible signs of aging in the lower face and neck. Small incisions are made around the ears and hairline, allowing the surgeon to tighten underlying muscles and tissues; excess skin is removed. Can create a fresher, more youthful appearance by reducing jowls, smoothing marionette lines, tightening loose neck skin, and defining the jawline. Results reviewed at consultation.

Mid-Facelift. Targets the middle third of the face to address moderate sagging and wrinkles, rejuvenating the cheeks, reducing nasolabial folds, and eliminating mild jowls. Incisions are made just above the ear and hairline so the surgeon can reposition and tighten facial and cheek tissue. Underlying fat pads may be redistributed or grafted to restore lost volume. Recovery is generally up to 2 weeks.
