Benefits of a Facelift
Undergoing a facelift offers numerous advantages for those seeking to rejuvenate their facial appearance:
- Reduction of Wrinkles and Fine Lines: A facelift smooths out deep creases and wrinkles, giving your skin a smoother, more youthful look.
- Tightening of Sagging Skin: The procedure lifts and tightens loose skin on the face and neck, reducing sagging and drooping.
- Improved Facial Contours: By repositioning underlying tissues, a facelift enhances the contours of your face, defining the jawline and restoring volume where needed.
- Natural-Looking Results: Modern facelift techniques aim for results that are subtle and natural, avoiding an overly "pulled" appearance.
- Long-Lasting Effects: The results of a facelift can last for many years, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle and good skincare routine.
- Boosted Self-Confidence: Rejuvenating your appearance can enhance your self-esteem and confidence in both personal and professional settings.
- Minimal Scarring: Incisions are strategically placed to be as discreet as possible, often hidden within the hairline or natural contours of the face.
- Complementary to Other Procedures: A facelift can be combined with other treatments like eyelid surgery or dermal fillers for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
- Restoration of Youthful Appearance: The procedure turns back the clock on facial aging, helping you look as young as you feel.

Facelift FAQ
Would a facelift or some other jaw defining procedure be most effective to improve my overall appearance?
It is best to come in for a personalized consultation. Options would be facelift versus fillers and Botox. If you need to take your hands and push back your face and neck to achieve the results you are looking for, then a surgical facelift may be your best option. If you can point to specific areas where you want more fullness or slight lifting, then fillers may be sufficient. For RBF, a little Botox carefully placed in the muscles around your mouth can help turn a frown upside-down.
Are drains placed after a face and neck lift? And for how long?
Many patients have concerns about drains prior to having surgery. The thought of a drain can seem foreign or strange. However, drains serve an important purpose to remove any excess fluid which may accumulate under the skin. In procedures such as a neck/facelift or abdominoplasty, where areas of skin are lifted off the underlying muscles, a potential space is created where the skin and muscles have to adhere back together after the surgery. If fluid collects in this area, it can hinder healing and also affect the results. In many cases, we place temporary small drains under the skin for short periods of time. In the case of neck and facelift surgery, the drains are usually placed for less than 24 hours. In patients where we place drains, we remove them the next morning. The drains are very small and no extra incision or sutures are required—the drains come right out of the existing incision.
Looking for options related to sagging facial skin. No issues with wrinkles at this time, only sagging. Advice?
It's best to schedule an in-person consultation so we can review your situation. There are many options ranging from facelift to laser, but none are equivalent. So, it is not a matter of picking which procedure, but determining which procedure(s) are the best for your situation. Many possible options would be facelift, Ultherapy, laser, dermal fillers, fat grafting, and threads.
