When our outward appearance no longer matches how

When our outward appearance no longer matches how we feel on the inside it can be quite frustrating. The goal of facial rejuvenation surgery is to restore our self image and bring everything back in to balance.

Being in her 50s, Kathy’s goal was never to look different per se, just a more refreshed version of herself.

Now many months out from her preservation deep plane facelift, neck lift, and a subtle lip lift, she feels like the procedure made even a bigger difference than either of us expected. Proof that it’s not about age it’s about timing, confidence, and bringing out the best of You!

Facelift Incision Healing: What to Expect Over Tim

Facelift Incision Healing: What to Expect Over Time
(Scroll to see each stage )

1 week – 10 days
Incisions are fresh and may look pink or slightly raised. Mild swelling and bruising are normal at this stage. Sutures are typically removed, and we focus on keeping the area clean and protected while healing begins.

4 weeks
Incisions are healing well and becoming flatter. Redness may still be present, but swelling continues to improve. Makeup and hair styling can usually camouflage this phase easily.

3 months
Scars are much softer and lighter in color. Any firmness or tightness is resolving, and incisions are blending more naturally into the skin and hairline.

6 months
Incisions are faint and well-healed. At this stage, most patients find their scars difficult to notice, even with short hairstyles or pulled-back hair.

🔍 Why incision placement matters

Facelift incisions are thoughtfully placed in front of or behind the tragus (the small cartilage at the front of the ear) based on:
• Skin quality and thickness
• Gender and hairline considerations
• Natural facial contours
• The goal of keeping scars discreet and well-camouflaged

The priority is always a natural result with scars that heal invisibly over time.

Every face — and every healing process — is unique. This is why incision planning is one of the most important parts of facelift surgery.

I love getting selfies from my out of town patients! 🤩

This beautiful transformation is just 3 months out from comprehensive facial rejuvenation including deep plane facelift, neck lift with deep sculpting, temporal brow reset, upper and lower blepharoplasty, fat grafting, and CO2 laser resurfacing.

We’re both loving the crisp new jawline and how nicely her incisions are fading. Notice the natural shape and angle of her ear, as well as the tension-free appearance throughout her face.

She’s literally oozing confidence! 🤌🤌

Shari’s biggest takeaway about the healing journey

Shari’s biggest takeaway about the healing journey?

"Chill. Relax. Trust the process" because it takes time, and the beautiful results don't appear in "day one, day two, or even week two." But now 7 months out she's looking and feeling absolutely incredible!

Colleen had wanted this since she was a kid, not to look different, but to look like the best version of herself. I think she looks absolutely beautiful.

She’s six months into recovery (with plenty of refinement to go,) and it’s been super smooth. A little downtime early on, cast removal, and now letting the swelling settle naturally.

Her advice for anyone considering rhinoplasty:
✔️ Look for solid before/afters — early and long-term
✔️ Choose a surgeon who prioritizes natural results
✔️ Make sure you feel comfortable and never pressured

Jowls aren’t about fat or skin alone, they’re abou

Jowls aren’t about fat or skin alone, they’re about lost support. As the midface deflates and tissues loosen, everything shifts downward… except the fixation point along the jawline. That mismatch creates the classic hollow-and-bulge pattern.

A deep plane facelift is the only way to truly restore those fallen tissues to their original position for a natural, beautiful result. 👌
Grateful for patients who let us share this education and help others understand what really causes jowls and what actually fixes them.

Meet Donna! She's a little over 1 month out from surgery and she's decided to share her experience.😄

Hers was not the smoothest recovery so, in the spirit of full transparency, watch till the end to have an honest idea of facelift healing.

Appropriate expectations make all the difference! I'm excited with how well she's doing now and I'm thrilled with where I know she will be soon.

EARLY healing just 8 weeks after so you guys can have appropriate expectations for what incisions and swelling might look like at this point.

We did the following:
✅Preservation deep plane facelift and necklift with deep sculpting
✅Lower blepharoplasty
✅Temporal brow reset
✅Facial fat grafting
✅CO2 laser resurfacing

She still has tons of healing ahead but she's already off to a beautiful start!
