What is a Facelift?

A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is a comprehensive surgical procedure that lifts and tightens facial tissues to reduce visible signs of aging. The surgery addresses sagging skin in the mid-face and lower face, deep creases below the eyelids, jowls along the jawline, and loose skin and excess fat under the chin and neck. During the procedure, a surgeon makes incisions typically starting at the temples, continuing around the ear, and ending at the lower scalp. The underlying facial muscles and tissues are repositioned, excess fat may be sculpted or redistributed, and skin is re-draped over the newly repositioned contours. Modern facelift techniques produce remarkably natural results that can take 10-15 years off your appearance. The procedure typically costs $7,000-$15,000 and results last 7-10 years.

Why Preview Facelift Results Before Surgery?

A facelift is one of the most transformative facial procedures available, making pre-surgical visualization invaluable. Because the surgery involves significant recovery time, cost, and permanent changes to facial structure, seeing realistic results beforehand helps you set appropriate expectations. Our simulator shows you how lifting and tightening will restore youthful contours while maintaining your natural appearance, helping you avoid the "pulled" or "windswept" look that concerns many patients considering this procedure.

What Makes Our Facelift Simulator Accurate?

Common Facelift Questions

How much does a facelift cost?

A facelift typically costs $7,000-$15,000 depending on the surgeon, location, extent of the procedure, and whether it's combined with other treatments like eyelid surgery or neck lift.

How long does a facelift last?

Facelift results typically last 7-10 years. While aging continues, you'll always look younger than you would have without the procedure.

What is facelift recovery like?

Most patients take 2-4 weeks off work. Bruising and swelling peak in the first week and gradually subside. Strenuous activity should be avoided for 4-6 weeks.

At what age should I get a facelift?

Most facelift patients are between 40-70 years old, though candidacy depends on skin laxity rather than age alone. A consultation determines the best timing for your situation.
