What to Expect During Consultation

A facelift restores definition to the lower two-thirds of the face and neck by addressing:

Sagging or loose skin
Jowls and heavy chin
Deep creases around the mouth and nose
Loss of youthful contour along the jawline and neck

Patients often find that a facelift not only enhances appearance but also restores confidence and self-image.

Different patients require different approaches. Our surgeons personalize each treatment plan to your needs:

Mini-Lift – Ideal for patients in their late 30s or 40s with early signs of aging; involves small incisions and minimal downtime.
Weekend Facelift – Uses liposuction and lasers to reduce fat under the chin and tighten jowls.
Traditional Facelift – Removes significant sagging skin with incisions around the hairline and ears.
Deep Plane Facelift – Releases deeper facial tissues for the most natural, long-lasting rejuvenation of the neck, jawline, and cheeks.

For men, incision placement is adjusted to respect natural beard lines.

Facelift Techniques We Offer

What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?

The deep plane facelift is the most advanced technique available. Unlike SMAS facelifts that only tighten connective tissue, the deep plane method releases underlying ligaments, allowing for a true repositioning of facial structure. This creates:

A tension-free lift
Improved cheek and jawline definition
Results that can last a decade or more

Enhanced muscle mass and strength
Smooths loose, crepe-like skin for firmer texture
