When the visible effects of aging extend beyond what skincare or injectable treatments can address, a facelift may be the most effective option for restoring a refreshed, natural appearance. When performed with precision and expertise, facelift surgery rejuvenates the face and neck with results that are subtle, refined, and long-lasting.
A facelift is designed to correct age-related changes such as skin laxity, volume loss, and loss of jawline definition, helping patients look rested, confident, and timeless.

The Facelift Procedure
Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation focused on your goals, facial anatomy, and long-term aesthetic vision. This allows for thoughtful planning and the development of a personalized treatment approach.
Surgery: Depending on the extent of correction and whether additional procedures are performed, facelift surgery typically requires four to eight hours. When combined with other facial procedures, the facelift is generally performed first.
Outpatient Surgery: Facelift surgery is performed on an outpatient basis in our fully accredited, in-house surgical suite.
Post-Operative Care: Our clinical team provides detailed guidance throughout recovery, including swelling management and incision care. Patients may shower and shampoo after 48 hours, with visible sutures typically removed around day seven. Ultrasound therapy may be utilized to support healing when appropriate.
Recovery: Makeup may usually be applied after seven days. Most patients return to normal daily activities within two to three weeks.
Why Undergo A Facelift
- Aging Changes: Natural loss of skin elasticity and facial volume over time
- Jowls and Neck Laxity: Sagging along the jawline and neck, creating a tired or heavy appearance
- Sun Exposure: Cumulative sun damage contributes to wrinkles, discoloration, and loss of firmness
