Life-Changing Results

Facelift

Oftentimes, the effects of time and gravity leave patients dissatisfied with the face they see in the mirror, especially if they’re struggling with premature aging. A facelift can turn back the clock and rejuvenate your appearance by reducing sagging and wrinkles. At Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery, we strive to deliver the best facelift results Newport Beach has to offer.

What is a Facelift?

A facelift is a surgical procedure that can take years off of your appearance by addressing midface volume loss, jowls, sagging, wrinkles, and folds. As skin loses elasticity with time and age, it begins to droop. A facelift, known medically as rhytidectomy, can lift, smooth, and tighten facial tissues.

Facelift techniques continue to advance, and our board-certified surgeons have decades of combined experience helping patients achieve a refreshed, youthful appearance. They also offer a less-invasive facelift that they pioneered and perfected for lasting results, called the LiteLift®

The LiteLift® not only repositions and smooths your skin but also lifts the underlying layer of strong facial supporting tissue that covers the deeper structures of the face and neck. This technique produces more natural-looking and longer-lasting results than “skin-only” facelifts. With more advanced techniques and minimal scars, about 40% less than a traditional facelift, LiteLift® offers a faster recovery than conventional methods. 

The long-term results of a facelift or LiteLift® can save time and money compared to injectable and non-surgical treatments that require multiple sessions and provide temporary results. Our facelift procedures can rejuvenate your appearance for years, helping you look younger for longer. 

Depending on your specific cosmetic goals, our board-certified plastic surgeons may combine facelifts with other procedures like an eyelid lift, neck lift, brow lift, or nonsurgical treatments like Botox® and dermal fillers. Our experienced plastic surgeons can meet with you to discuss your options and develop a customized plan that’s best for you and your vision.

Learn More About Facelifts

Our surgeons perform facelifts with general or local anesthesia depending on your unique procedure and preference. Facelift surgery usually takes two to four hours. However, it may take longer if you decide to combine it with other procedures.

During your facelift procedure, your board-certified surgeon at Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery will carefully make well-hidden incisions along your hairline and around your ears. Next, they will reposition your facial tissues to a more lifted position. Finally, they will tighten the skin and remove any excess before expertly closing your incisions with sutures. 

After your rhytidectomy, our team will carefully monitor you in a recovery room. A friend or family member can drive you home the same day, and we recommend having someone stay with you for at least the first 24 hours after your procedure.

Downtime after a facelift typically lasts one to two weeks. You may experience general discomfort during your healing process, like swelling and bruising at your incision sites. Your surgeon will give you instructions on managing discomfort with pain medication.

You may need some help at home for at least a couple of days. Carefully follow your surgeon’s instructions for post-surgical care, and do not touch or pick at the incision sites. Avoid using makeup until directed otherwise. You also should avoid contact sports and other vigorous activities for about three weeks. Your surgeon will advise when you can resume your regular activities.

Most patients start feeling comfortable enough with their appearance to go out and resume regular activities after approximately two weeks. At this time, you’ll likely begin to notice natural-looking changes to your face. Once the swelling fades, you can enjoy a younger, rejuvenated appearance. 

The longevity of your results will depend on various factors like the technique used, genetics, and your body’s natural aging process. Generally, patients report looking ten years younger or more after their facelift procedure. Taking care of your skin and living a healthy lifestyle will help maximize and prolong the benefits of your facelift. 

If you want to look a decade younger and feel more comfortable in your skin, a facelift may be the right treatment for you. Ideal candidates for a facelift are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the procedure. During your consultation, one of our experienced surgeons will help you determine which procedure is right for you based on your signs of aging and your aesthetic goals. 

The cost of a facelift will vary depending on several factors, such as your geographic location and your provider’s experience. On average, a facelift costs $8,005 in the United States, but this doesn’t include all associated expenses, such as anesthesia and facility fees. 

Your actual cost will depend on your unique procedure and its complexity. Combining your facelift with other procedures like a neck lift may increase the price, while a modified facelift like LiteLift® may be less expensive. For an accurate estimate, we encourage you to consult with one of our board-certified surgeons at Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery. We also offer various financing options to help make your procedure more affordable.
