The Benefits of a Facelift
If you have a visible loss of skin elasticity, a facelift can produce a number of aesthetic benefits. Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeons perform facelifts to help our patients have younger, more energetic appearances that can last for years. The examples of facelift benefits include:
- Greater definition for the lower jawline
- A reduction in “jowling”
- Improvement in neck contour
- Decrease in deep wrinkles and facial creases
- Natural and youthful results

Real Patient Results
The Facelift Process Explained
The Consultation
The initial consultation is an important step in the process, allowing your surgeon to qualify you for surgery and discuss the details of your treatment plan. During the consultation, our surgeons will perform a physical examination and discuss your medical history to make sure a facelift will meet your goals.
What Should I Do in Preparation?
Your doctor will supply you with a list of any preparations you need to make. These may include pausing or changing certain medications and adjusting or starting a skincare routine.
What Is the Surgery Like?
Incisions will be made in areas where they can be easily concealed, including behind the ears and behind the hairline. Your doctor will work through these incisions, removing excess skin and tissue and repositioning the remaining tissue. You can anticipate being placed under anesthesia during the surgery to ensure your comfort.
What Should I Expect in Terms of Recovery?
You will experience some bruising and swelling after your facelift, which means that the final results may not be evident for multiple weeks. While some discomfort can be expected during your recovery, pain management options will be provided.
How Long Will My Results Last?
The goal of facial surgery is to provide you with aesthetic results that appear natural, not overly surgical. The results of a facelift can potentially last for a long time, particularly if you carefully follow aftercare instructions and maintain a healthy skincare routine.
