A facelift is one of the most comprehensive facial rejuvenation procedures, designed to restore youthful contours by lifting and repositioning the deeper tissues of the face. Over time, aging, gravity, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors can contribute to sagging skin, deep lines, jowls, and loss of midface volume. At Advanced Dermatology Care, our facelift techniques focus on natural-looking results by addressing the foundational layers of the face instead of simply tightening the skin.
Modern facelifts involve repositioning the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system)—the deeper layer responsible for facial structure. By lifting these tissues, we achieve longer-lasting and more natural results. This approach avoids the “pulled” appearance associated with older facelift methods. Our surgeons carefully tailor each procedure to the patient’s facial anatomy, creating a refreshed yet authentic appearance.
During the procedure, incisions are placed along the natural contours of the hairline and around the ears to ensure minimal visibility. Excess skin is trimmed only after the deeper tissues are repositioned, preventing unnatural tension. The result is smoother cheeks, a more defined jawline, and a rejuvenated overall appearance.
Recovery depends on the extent of the procedure but typically involves one to two weeks of swelling and bruising. Most patients can return to normal activities within two weeks, although strenuous activity should be avoided for several more weeks. Our team provides personalized recovery guidance to ensure optimal healing and results.
A facelift addresses the midface and lower face, including jowls and deep folds. For full facial rejuvenation, many patients combine their facelift with a neck lift, eyelid surgery, fat grafting, or skin resurfacing treatments. During your consultation, we will discuss the best combination of procedures to meet your goals.
At Advanced Dermatology Care, we believe that the best facelift results look natural, youthful, and refreshed—not overdone. Our refined surgical techniques ensure that you still look like yourself, only years younger.
