What Is a Facelift?
A facelift, also known as a rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the lower face and neck by restoring youthful contours and definition. As we age, gravity, volume loss, and decreased skin elasticity lead to sagging skin, jowling, and loss of jawline and neck definition.
Facelift surgery addresses these concerns by repositioning the deeper facial tissues, removing excess skin, and tightening underlying structures to create a smoother, more refined appearance. A well-performed facelift provides natural-looking results that enhance—rather than change—your appearance.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Facelift?
You may be a strong candidate for facelift surgery if you are experiencing signs of facial aging such as:
Sagging skin in the lower face
Jowls along the jawline
Loss of jawline definition
Loose or excess skin in the neck (“turkey neck”)
Deep folds around the mouth and chin
These changes are caused by descent of the deeper soft tissues of the face, not just loose skin. Patients seeking long-lasting facial rejuvenation and improved facial contour often benefit most from a facelift procedure.
Deep Plane Facelift: Advanced Facial Rejuvenation Technique
I typically preference in the deep plane facelift, an advanced facelift technique that lifts and repositions the underlying facial muscles and connective tissue (SMAS layer) as a single unit. Unlike traditional facelifts that primarily tighten the skin, the deep plane facelift restores the natural position of facial structures for more comprehensive and longer-lasting results.
Benefits of a deep plane facelift include:
More natural, non-pulled appearance
Improved jawline contour and definition
Significant neck rejuvenation
Longer-lasting results compared to traditional techniques
By addressing the root cause of facial aging—soft tissue descent—the deep plane facelift provides a balanced, refreshed appearance while preserving your natural facial expression.
