How Much Does a Facelift Cost in Torrance & Los Angeles?

While we provide estimated price ranges on our Pricing page, we can only give you a precise quote after you have come in for a consultation. Your facelift is personalized to you, and your quote will reflect the specifics of your operation, including the technique your surgeon recommends, any complementary procedures, and how extensive the surgery will be to achieve your goals.

Your Facelift Consultation

Your facial rejuvenation journey begins with a private consultation with your chosen surgeon. During this time, you will get to learn more about your procedure options. Your surgeon will evaluate your degree of facial aging, listen to your concerns, and answer your questions before providing their honest treatment recommendations.

This unhurried appointment is an opportunity to build rapport and get the information you need to make a confident and informed decision about your next steps. Most patients are ready to book their surgery straightaway. Others may add complementary procedures to their treatment plan or decide that a nonsurgical alternative, such as a PDO thread lift, is better for them at this point.

What Are the Different Types of Facelifts at SBPS?

The 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:

  • Traditional Facelift – Addresses sagging skin, underlying musculature, and deep folds on the face and neck.
  • Mini Facelift – Focuses on the lower face and neck to correct mild skin laxity.
  • Mid-Face Lift – Targets the cheeks and mid-face area to restore youthful volume and shape.
  • Deep Plane Facelift – Is performed at a deeper tissue level and lifts the skin and musculature as one unit for more significant correction.
  • Endoscopic Facelift – Uses a small camera and tiny, hidden incisions to precisely adjust the tissues in the face and neck.

Your Facelift Procedure

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.

Facelift Recovery and Results

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:

Initial Experiences

  • Bruising – Peaks in the first week and gradually fades.
  • Swelling – Peaks in the first week but may take months to resolve fully.
  • Pain levels – Typically low and can be managed with prescribed or OTC medication; you may feel some numbness and tightness.

Shifts to Your Routine

  • Sleeping – Keep your head elevated for the first 2 weeks.
  • Exercise – Avoid strenuous activity that may put tension on your sutures or strain your healing tissue. We will advise when you can start easing into exercise.
  • Walking – Get up and about as soon as you feel able; taking slow, gentle walks helps improve your recovery outcomes.

Downtime

  • Physical Downtime – Patients usually feel more like themselves after a week.
  • Social Downtime – Patients usually feel comfortable being seen at work or in public after 2 to 3 weeks.

Results

  • First Visible – You can start to appreciate your initial results once the bruising and swelling have begun to subside.
  • Final Results – Your results will continue to develop and improve over time as the swelling dissipates and your facial tissues heal and settle.
  • Scarring – Generally not visible due to their placement; scars will fade and mature over time.
  • Long-Term Maintenance – A healthy lifestyle and good skincare habits can help you enjoy the results of your facelift for many years.

Complementary Procedures

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.

Facelift FAQ

Am I a good candidate for a facelift?

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.

How should I prepare for facelift surgery?

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.

Are there visible scars after a facelift?

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.
