Rediscover Youthful Confidence with a Facelift

Performed by a Featured Facelift Surgeon.

A facelift—technically called rhytidectomy—is one of the most effective ways to reverse visible signs of aging and rejuvenate your appearance. By tightening underlying facial muscles and repositioning skin, this transformative procedure restores a firmer, more youthful contour to your face and neck.

Whether you’re concerned about sagging cheeks, deep folds around the mouth, or loose skin along the jawline, a facelift can dramatically improve how you look – without changing who you are. Discover how today’s advanced techniques are delivering natural-looking results that turn back the clock, not your identity.

“A well-performed facelift doesn’t make you look different. It makes you look refreshed, rested, and confident.”

What Are the Types of Facelifts Available?

There are multiple approaches to facelift surgery depending on your goals and facial structure. These may include both surgical and non-surgical options:

Traditional Facelift

The most comprehensive lift to tighten skin and deeper tissues across the face and neck.

Mini Facelift

A lighter lift targeting early signs of aging in the lower face with smaller incisions.

Lower Face & Neck Lift

Refines the jawline and smooths the neck, ideal for jowls and loose skin under the chin.

SMAS Facelift

Lifts both muscle and skin layers for a more natural, longer-lasting result.

Deep Plane Facelift

An advanced technique that repositions deeper facial structures for maximum rejuvenation.

Mid-Facelift

Targets sagging cheeks and under-eye hollows without the need for a full facelift.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

Includes thread lifts, fillers, and lasers to subtly tighten and refresh the face with no downtime.

Traditional Facelift

Comprehensive facial rejuvenation for lasting results.

A traditional facelift targets deep wrinkles, sagging skin, and lax muscles throughout the lower two-thirds of the face and neck. It’s ideal for patients with moderate to advanced signs of aging looking for the most comprehensive results. This surgical technique delivers a dramatically younger look that can last 10 years or more.

Mini Facelift

A subtle lift with smaller incisions and faster recovery.

A mini facelift is a less invasive version of the full facelift, focusing on mild sagging around the cheeks and jawline. It’s perfect for patients in their 40s to early 50s seeking a subtle refresh with quicker recovery. The incisions are smaller, often hidden around the ears, with minimal downtime.

Lower Face & Neck Lift

Refine, Balance & Breathe Better.

This procedure specifically targets jowls, loose neck skin, and muscle banding beneath the chin. It’s an excellent option for those who feel their aging is most prominent below the cheeks. Results often include a cleaner jawline, smoother neck, and significantly improved profile.

SMAS Facelift

Dual-layer lift for more natural and longer-lasting results.

The SMAS facelift goes deeper than skin level, lifting both skin and the underlying muscular layer (the SMAS). This dual-layer lift results in longer-lasting, more natural-looking outcomes. It’s best for patients who want a refreshed appearance without any tight or “windblown” look.

Deep Plane Facelift

Advanced lifting technique for volume restoration.

A deep plane facelift repositions facial fat pads and lifts deeper tissues beneath the SMAS layer. This advanced technique offers superior results in the mid-face, cheeks, and jawline, particularly for patients with significant volume descent. It preserves natural movement and facial expression while restoring youthful fullness.

Mid-Facelift

Cheek and under-eye enhancement without a full lift.

The mid-facelift focuses on the area between the lower eyelids and upper mouth, elevating the cheeks and nasolabial folds. It’s great for patients with sagging cheeks or under-eye hollows who aren’t ready for a full facelift. This procedure can restore youthful volume and brighten the center of the face.

Non-Surgical Facelift Alternatives

Minimally invasive treatments for early aging and maintenance.

For those not ready for surgery, non-invasive options like thread lifts, dermal fillers, and energy-based skin tightening can offer subtle improvements. These treatments are best for early signs of aging or maintenance after surgery. While not permanent, they often involve little to no downtime and visible enhancement.
