A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgery designed to reduce the signs of aging. This includes sagging or excess skin, wrinkles and fine lines, jowls, and deep folds.
It is done by lifting and tightening the facial tissue and can be combined with eyelid surgery or a brow lift to maximize youthful results.
This restorative surgery is designed to treat the signs of aging you already have, not prevent further aging.
If you’re seeking to reduce sagging, deep folds and wrinkles, and get rid of the all too familiar turkey neck, then choose a facelift as a solution that non-invasive techniques can’t provide.
This procedure will be pain free as you’re provided intravenous sedation or general anesthesia to minimize discomfort.
Your surgeon will work with you to determine which is best suited for your surgery. You can expect swelling and bruising post-surgery, as well as oral or topical medications to combat pain and risk of infection.
On average, patients are presentable within two weeks, but it will take upwards of two to three months for your face to fully heal. As the bruising and swelling subsides, you’ll begin to see the results of your facelift and enjoy your tightened, youthful skin.
Realistic expectations, overall good health, and a smoke-free lifestyle are the three top things that make you a suitable candidate.
Consult with your surgeon beforehand to determine if this is the correct surgery for you or if you’ll require alternative methods.

It is considered an advanced technique due to its comprehensive approach to the aging process. Unlike traditional facelifts, which are merely a superficial correction, the deep plane facelift goes deeper to reposition both skin and underlying facial muscles.
There are many advantages to this technique that you cannot find with other surgical methods:
