Facelift Techniques

Full Facelift

Ideal for patients showing advanced aging signs, involving comprehensive facial muscle tightening and skin repositioning. Often combined with additional procedures like eyelid or neck lifts.

Mid-Facelift

Targets droopy features around cheekbones and upper jaw, perfect for patients seeking improvements in the middle to lower facial regions.

Lower Facelift

Focuses on neck, chin, and jowl areas, which can be complemented by nonsurgical treatments like Kybella or laser skin tightening.

Mini Facelift

A subtle technique using small incisions near ears to elevate skin, creating natural enhancements for the mouth and jawline.

Candidate Considerations

Ideal candidates are individuals experiencing facial sagging, noticeable jowls, under-eye creases, or loose skin around the chin and jaw. Patients should be physically healthy, non-smokers, and maintain realistic expectations.

Recovery and Results

Recovery typically spans several weeks, with patients experiencing gradual improvement. Most individuals observe significant rejuvenation approximately one month post-procedure, revealing a smoother, more youthful facial appearance.
