REJUVENATE YOUR FACE & REWIND THE CLOCK WITH OUR FULL SUITE OF FACELIFT OPTIONS

Mini-Facelift
Mid-Facelift
Full Facelift

When wrinkles, blemishes, and sagging skin start to appear on your face, then it might be time to consider a facelift surgical procedure. Facelift technology and processes have been fine-tuned over the years from simple skin tightening to a more involved deeper plane lift for even more dramatic and lasting results.

DON'T LET GRAVITY HOLD YOUR SELF-CONFIDENCE DOWN

Facelift cosmetic surgery, also known as Rhytidectomy, is the gift of modern science that helps clients of all ages, gender, and skin type safely regain the healthy glow of youth.

Facelifts don’t just mask the inevitable signs of aging but give a lasting solution to a lackluster appearance. No longer reserved for any one group, facelifts are now commonly performed on patients looking for a mere mini-facelift, touch-up or full facelift to combat skin laxity deeper at its source.

THE BEAUTIFUL BENEFITS OF FACELIFTS

As we age and begin to notice our face loses some of the elasticity and glow it once had, it’s perfectly normal to become self-conscious.

Whether others notice it or not, when we don’t feel proud of our appearance, it can negatively impact our self-confidence. Fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and eyes, less volume in the cheeks, and a constant tired expression are just a few of the tell-tale signs. When injectables and fillers no longer do the trick, then it might be time for a MINI-FACELIFT as starting early has numerous benefits such as:

Faster healing
More affordable
Improved support
Higher average patient satisfaction

When sagging becomes more severe in your cheeks and face, then a MID-FACELIFT is often the best course of action. This minimally invasive procedure targets the fatty tissue that tends to droop between the nose and cheeks, leaving cheekbones with a more prominent and defined appearance.

If you notice slight jowls and excess skin below the chin, then a neck lift can be the perfect counter to eliminate fatty deposits, reposition deep tissue, and remove excess skin for a tighter, more attractive neck region.

If you want full facial rejuvenation with all the tools modern science has at its disposal, then nothing compares to a full facelift. This procedure wholly reinvigorates a face through targeted application of all our best tools that undo years of damage in just a few hours.

FACELIFT PROCEDURE DETAILS - SAFELY RESHAPE YOUR APPEARANCE

For a typical facelift procedure, Dr. Hochman makes precise incisions in front of and behind the ear at the natural crease as this reduces any noticeable aftereffects. Our surgical team then tightens underlying muscles, giving your face a firm, youthful appearance as we remove excess skin and reshape the tissue. The procedure ends with a gentle redraping of the skin around the face and neck, essentially lifting these areas so your beautiful features are more prominently displayed.

The details patients can expect from this procedure are:

Procedure
- Incisions made in front of and behind the ear before the skin is shaped
Procedure Length
- Dependent on procedure
Anesthesia
- Provided via local or IV Sedation
Recovery
- Minimum of two weeks

Patients can expect instant results and short recovery time, as you can return to your normal routine quickly with an extra boost of confidence and poise. Through every step of the procedure, our staff ensures a safe and sterile environment, and our state-of-the-art facilities can help further spur healthy recovery and reduce typical post-op effects such as swelling, bruising, and general discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a good candidate for a facelift?

Good candidates are generally in good health and bothered by sagging skin, jowls, or deep folds along the cheeks and jawline. During your consultation, Dr. Hochman will review your goals and skin condition to recommend a mini, mid, or full facelift.

What's the difference between a mini, mid, and full facelift?

A mini-facelift addresses early sagging and offers a faster recovery. A mid-facelift targets drooping fat between the nose and cheeks. A full facelift provides the most complete rejuvenation by tightening the underlying muscle and redraping skin across the face and neck.

How long is recovery after a facelift?

Most patients need a minimum of two weeks before returning to normal activities. Some swelling and bruising is normal in the first week or two as the area heals.

Will a facelift look natural?

Yes. The goal is a refreshed, natural appearance rather than a tight or ‘done’ look. Incisions are placed in front of and behind the ear along natural creases to minimize visible scarring.
