Meet Our Talented SurgeonsThe term “facelift” can be misleading as the surgery does not treat the entire face. So, what is a facelift? It’s a cosmetic procedure that addresses changes due to aging or rapid weight loss (“Ozempic Face”) that effect the face from the cheeks to the chin and, in some cases, can treat skin laxity and banding in the neck.
Our plastic surgeons are skilled in multiple facelifting techniques, including:
Facelift surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure using general anesthesia. Depending on the facelift technique, your surgeon will make incisions behind the hairline near the temple, behind the ear, and under the chin (if necessary).
Your surgeon will remove excess skin and tighten sagging muscles and tissue. They will reposition the remaining skin to create a more youthful, lifted appearance with smoother and better-defined contours. We can usually complete your operation within 3 hours.
Our surgeons will monitor your healing during follow-up appointments and provide you with detailed postoperative instructions for your recovery. Individual healing rates will vary, but patients can typically expect the following:
Patients may choose to address the upper face by having a brow lift or eyelid surgery performed at the same time as their facelift. In addition, The Spa at SBPS offers numerous skin rejuvenation options to maximize your results and maintain them for longer.
Ideal candidates are typically nonsmokers in good health who have maintained a healthy BMI for at least 6 months and are concerned about jowls, nasolabial folds, and laxity on the lower face and neck. Your plastic surgeon will determine whether a facelift or another approach is best for you.
Preparation may include avoiding certain medications, quitting smoking, and arranging for someone to drive you home and assist you during the initial recovery period. Your surgeon will provide specific preoperative instructions tailored to your needs.
We aim to place incisions in inconspicuous locations, such as along the hairline and in the natural creases around the ear. While some scarring is inevitable, it typically fades over time and can be minimized with proper postoperative care and techniques like silicone gel or sheets.
