Understanding Facelift Surgery in Orange County

A facelift can help patients turn back the hands of time and restore a more youthful appearance. This popular procedure addresses common signs of aging such as wrinkles, jowls, and inelastic skin on the face and neck. Dr. Daniel C. Mills, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Laguna Beach, utilizes state-of-the-art techniques to rejuvenate facial aesthetics.

What is a Facelift?

Medically known as a rhytidectomy, a facelift is an aesthetic enhancement procedure designed to tighten underlying facial muscles, reduce excess skin, and create a firmer, smoother appearance in the middle to lower facial areas and neck.

Facelift Procedure Options

SMAS Facelift

The Sub-Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS) facelift is often the most effective technique for addressing jowling, facial wrinkles, and excess skin. Dr. Mills uses this method to lift and secure sagging skin and underlying muscle structures.

Midface Suspension Facelift

This technique repositions cheek fat pads and reduces prominent nasolabial folds. It can produce dramatic results by enhancing facial contours and restoring volume to the mid-face region.

Ideal Facelift Candidates

Individuals experiencing facial aging signs
Patients with moderate to severe skin laxity
Good overall health
Non-smokers

Recovery and Results

Most patients can resume normal activities within 10-14 days. Final results typically become apparent within three to six months, with patients often reporting looking approximately 10 years younger.
