What is a Facelift?
Benefits of Facelift Surgery
Simply put, a facelift is one of the top cosmetic surgery procedures for patients that are looking to correct facial aging, and it is one of its greatest benefits.
Some of the key benefits of facelift surgery include the following:
- It tightens and accentuates facial features and the facial structure.
- It smooths texture and dramatically reduces the appearance of deeper wrinkles and lines.
- It can carefully adjust facial musculature and surrounding tissues for the best results.
- It’s a more permanent, longer-lasting cosmetic solution than injectables.
- Scars are subtle and well-hidden in the natural contours of the face, hairline, and neck.
- The procedure can markedly reduce progressive facial aging.
- Combined with fat transfer, more natural facial architecture can be recreated.
The main goal is to restore the youth you one had in the face. It can address numerous signs of aging, including:
- Nasolabial folds
- Sag below the eyes
- Prominent jowling
- Changes in cheek fat distribution
- Facial dimpling
- Facial architecture
- Volume loss
Dr. Neavin achieves effective rejuvenation results by placing strategic incisions at specific points. He then elevates the skin to reveal the musculature and its surrounding tissues, the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS); a key factor in many facelifts.
Types of Facelift Procedures
There are several facelift techniques that can be used to achieve the best result depending on the patient’s request. A combination of any of the techniques with a brow lift is common to achieve the desired volume.
Mini Facelift
Neck Lift
SMAS Facelift
Traditional Facelift

Ideal Facelift Candidates
A facelift is done with general anesthesia, thus adults in their 40s, 50s, and 60s must be healthy and will benefit most from a facelift. Where patients have deeper lines, double chins, marionette lines, and prominent wrinkles, and there is severe skin laxity in the profile, a facelift can achieve dramatic, lasting results. As one of the most comprehensive ways to rejuvenate the face, face lifting is extremely popular for many reasons, including:
- Take blood-thinning medications/have a blood clotting disorder
- Are heavy smokers who would struggle with cessation
- Have a serious heart or lung condition
- Have hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Have poorly controlled diabetes
- Have unrealistic expectations of results

FACELIFT SURGERY FAQ
How natural will my face look after my procedure?
When performed by an experienced and skilled surgeon, the results will very natural looking. However, it’s important to have realistic expectations and understand that the outcome will depend on a variety of factors, including the patient’s age, skin quality, and individual anatomy.
How long after a facelift will I see results?
It’s normal to experience some swelling and bruising during the healing process after a facelift, which can take several weeks to subside. The initial results may be visible after a few weeks, but the outcome may take several months to fully develop as the tissues heal and settle into their new position.
Afer a facelift, what happens to my wrinkles?
A facelift can improve the appearance of wrinkles, but it may not eliminate them. The extent to which wrinkles are reduced will depend on a variety of factors, such as the depth and location of the wrinkles, the patient’s age, and the quality of their skin. In some cases, additional treatments such as fillers, Botox, or laser resurfacing may be recommended to further improve the appearance of wrinkles.
What risks are associated with facelifts?
In the world of aesthetic surgery, facelift procedures carry rare risks of infection and bleeding. These risks occur in less than 10% of cases. Occasionally, a fluid collection called hematoma may form beneath the skin flap. Fortunately, this can be resolved by draining the fluid with a needle in most cases. Reopening the incision for drainage is extremely uncommon. While complications are rare, it’s important to mention potential damage to nearby nerves responsible for facial expressions like smiling or raising eyebrows.

They understand how crucial it is to minimize risks while achieving optimal results. When considering a facelift procedure, patients often wonder about cost and recovery time.

Can a facelift effectively treat forehead lines and sagging eyebrows?
A facelift is primarily designed to rejuvenate the lower two-thirds of the face, including the cheeks, jawline, and neck. It typically does not address issues in the upper third of the face, such as forehead wrinkles and drooping eyebrows.
For forehead wrinkles and sagging eyebrows, procedures more specifically targeted to these areas are usually recommended. These include:
Forehead Lift or Brow Lift: This surgical procedure specifically targets the area above the eyes and the forehead. It aims to lift drooping eyebrows, reduce the appearance of forehead wrinkles, and improve frown lines. The procedure involves the removal or alteration of the muscles and skin that cause the furrows and lines in the forehead.
Botox Injections: For treating forehead wrinkles, Botox is a popular non-surgical option. It works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles, leading to a smoother appearance of the skin. However, Botox does not lift sagging eyebrows; it primarily addresses dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movements.
Dermal Fillers: These can be used to fill in deep forehead wrinkles, but like Botox, they do not address sagging eyebrows.
Laser Treatments and Chemical Peels: These procedures can improve the texture and appearance of the skin, reducing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead. However, they do not lift sagging skin.
Combination Approaches: Often, a combination of these treatments is used for a more comprehensive approach. For instance, a person might have a brow lift for sagging eyebrows and use Botox or fillers for forehead wrinkles.
