A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that lifts and tightens facial tissues to restore a more youthful appearance. The surgery:
-Lifts sagging facial tissues
-Improves jawline definition
-Addresses neck aging
-Restores natural facial contours
-Creates long-lasting results
A Deep Plane Facelift represents the most comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation by working beneath the SMAS (muscular) layer of the face. This advanced technique lifts and repositions both the skin and SMAS layer as a unified unit, achieving natural-looking, long-lasting results that avoid the traditional “pulled” appearance of older facelift methods.
Perfect for those with early signs of aging, a Mini Facelift uses shorter incisions to address mild to moderate sagging in the lower face and jawline. This less invasive option can be done under local anesthesia and offers subtle improvements with reduced recovery time, making it ideal for younger patients or those seeking moderate rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
The SMAS Facelift refers to any technique that addresses the muscular layer (SMAS) of the face during surgery. This versatile approach can be customized based on individual needs, from simple tightening to more extensive repositioning, with the specific technique chosen according to the patient’s aging patterns and desired outcomes.
While not technically a facelift, this term encompasses various minimally invasive rejuvenation techniques such as endolift laser tightening and thread lifts. These procedures offer subtle improvements without surgery, though results are typically less dramatic and may require periodic maintenance.
The Male Facelift employs specialized techniques that respect masculine facial features while addressing signs of aging. This approach considers the unique aspects of male facial anatomy, including thicker skin and distinct hairline patterns, focusing on maintaining a natural, masculine appearance while reducing signs of aging.
Yes, modern facelift techniques focus on natural-looking results. By repositioning deeper tissues rather than just pulling skin, we achieve results that don’t appear “operated.”
Results typically last 8-10 years, though aging continues naturally. Maintaining good skin care and healthy lifestyle habits helps prolong results.
Incisions are carefully placed within natural creases around the ears and hairline. Once healed, scars are typically well-concealed.
Most patients return to social activities within 2-3 weeks. Complete healing and final results develop over several months.
