Why Choose The Practice Plastic Surgery for a Facelift?
As we age, our skin loses elasticity, which can lead to concerns like sagging around the jawline and the formation of wrinkles. Facelift surgery, a tailored approach to address these signs of aging, can help you achieve a refreshed and more youthful look.
At The Practice Plastic Surgery, we understand the importance of feeling great about how you look. We offer consultations to discuss your goals and explore personalized surgical options that can enhance your natural beauty.

Facelift Before & Afters
From Tired to Terrific
What is a Facelift?
A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the face by addressing signs of aging. There's no one-size-fits-all approach to facelifts.
Full Facelift vs. Mini Facelift: Choosing the Right Approach
Looking to address signs of aging on your face? Understanding the differences between a facelift and a mini facelift can help you decide which procedure might be right for you.
- Full Facelift: Ideal for individuals with deeper wrinkles, significant loss of elasticity, and concerns across the entire face (including cheeks, jawline, and neck). This more extensive procedure addresses a wider range of aging concerns and delivers longer-lasting results.
- Our facial plastic surgery experts specialize in a variety of techniques, such as the deep plane facelift, which allows the skin and muscle attachments to remain intact by releasing four ligaments below the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system). This allows the entire SMAS to be lifted as a whole without placing tension on the skin or compromising facial movement. This approach prevents tension within the SMAS, allowing for an impeccably natural-looking rejuvenated appearance.
- Mini Facelift: Often referred to as a "weekend lift," this minimally invasive option targets early signs of aging, primarily in the lower face and jawline. It's a good choice for those who want a subtle rejuvenation with a shorter recovery time and lower cost. However, it is less effective for individuals with advanced signs of aging.
Dare to Face the Future
What is the Facelift procedure like?
Most facelifts are performed outpatient under general anesthesia. Your surgeon prioritizes minimizing scarring by strategically placing incisions within your hairline and natural folds of the face.
The procedure typically involves:
- Excess Tissue Removal: Gently removing excess skin and fat to create a smoother, more defined appearance.
- Tissue Repositioning: Carefully repositioning underlying tissues to restore a youthful structure.
- Customization: Different facelift techniques or additional procedures like liposuction or fat transfer might be recommended depending on your desired outcome.
Meticulous attention is paid to detail throughout the surgery, ensuring a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.
Inner Glow, Outer Lift
What conditions does a facelift address?
A facelift can target concerns like:
- Loose skin: Sagging in the cheeks, jowls, and jawline.
- Deep wrinkles: Lines and folds around the mouth and nose and creases on the cheeks.
- Loss of facial definition: A facelift can help restore a more sculpted and youthful appearance.
- Sagging Male Jawline: Aging can cause the jawline to sag, diminishing its sharp, masculine definition.
From Selfie to Self-Love
What are the benefits of a facelift?
Facelift surgery can address various signs of aging. While not a replacement for a healthy lifestyle and skincare routine, it offers noticeable improvements:
- Reduced Appearance of Lines and Wrinkles: Facelifts can smooth out deep creases around the mouth and nose, as well as lines on the cheeks.
- Enhanced Facial Definition: A facelift can help define the jawline and reduce the appearance of jowls by addressing sagging skin.
- Subtle Rejuvenation: The goal is to achieve a refreshed appearance, not a drastic change. When done well, a facelift can leave you looking more youthful without appearing "done."
- Sharp Masculine Jawline: With the loose skin removed, enhancing and revealing a more squared, masculine look.
- Confidence Boost: Feeling good about your appearance can positively impact your self-esteem and overall confidence.
Unmasking Your Best Self
Am I a candidate for a facelift?
If you desire a rejuvenated and more youthful appearance, facelift surgery could be a suitable choice. This procedure effectively targets concerns such as jowls, deep wrinkles, and loose skin, helping you achieve a revitalized look. Ideal candidates for facelift surgery are non-smokers in good overall health who have realistic expectations regarding the procedure's outcome.

With a remarkable patient satisfaction rate exceeding 98 percent, facelifts consistently deliver dramatic results that often surpass expectations. You can take several steps to prolong the benefits of your facelift and preserve your youthful appearance.
