How is a facelift surgery performed at Face Works Plastic Surgery?
A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to address visible signs of facial aging by improving sagging skin, loose tissue, and changes in facial contours. Over time, natural aging, gravity, and changes in skin elasticity can contribute to wrinkles, folds, and reduced facial definition around the face and neck.
A facelift addresses concerns such as sagging cheeks, deep folds around the nose and mouth, jowling along the jawline, loose skin beneath the chin, and changes in facial contours. The procedure focuses on creating smoother facial contours while maintaining natural facial movement and balance.
Every facelift procedure is customized based on each person’s facial structure, skin condition, and aesthetic goals. At Face Works Plastic Surgery, our dedicated team evaluates individual concerns and develops a personalized approach for facial rejuvenation with natural-looking outcomes.
Facelift procedures vary based on the areas being treated and the level of facial aging being addressed. Common options include traditional facelifts, which focus on the lower face and jawline, and mini facelifts, which involve smaller incisions and address mild to moderate skin laxity.
Other facelift approaches include deep plane facelifts, which involve repositioning deeper facial tissues, and neck lift procedures that address loose skin and muscle changes in the neck area. Some clients combine facelift surgery with additional facial procedures to address concerns such as volume changes or areas around the eyes.
The appropriate facelift technique depends on facial anatomy, aging patterns, and aesthetic goals. At Face Works Plastic Surgery, our team reviews available facelift options and explains each approach during the consultation process.
A facelift procedure begins with a consultation where facial concerns, medical history, and aesthetic goals are reviewed. During this evaluation, a surgical plan is created based on the client’s facial features and the areas being treated.
During surgery, carefully placed incisions allow the surgeon to access and adjust underlying facial tissues, tighten supportive structures, and remove or reposition excess skin. The skin is then redraped to create smoother facial contours while maintaining a natural appearance.
After the procedure, clients receive recovery instructions and follow-up care guidance to monitor healing progress. At Face Works Plastic Surgery, our team provides detailed information throughout the facelift process, from preparation through recovery, for a well-informed surgical experience.
