Your goals. A considered approach.

A facelift addresses tissue descent and skin laxity in the face, often with attention to the jawline and neck. The plan considers structure, skin, and volume separately.

01 · Your options

Rejuvenation starts with understanding.

A thoughtful plan starts with your individual assessment. These are the details to explore together.

Lower face and jawline

Discuss changes in contour and tissue position.

Neck relationship

Assess whether the neck should be included in the surgical plan.

Volume and skin

Consider whether fat grafting or skin treatments would address separate concerns.

02 · Your consultation

A conversation comes first.

Bring your questions about facelift. Share your health history, medications, prior treatments, and what you hope to change. Your consultation is also a chance to discuss alternatives and whether treatment is right for you.

  1. Share your priorities

    Tell us what matters to you, including what you want to preserve. Reference photographs can help explain your preferences.

  2. Explore your options

    Review the recommended approach, realistic outcomes, limitations, and risks. Take the time you need to ask questions.

  3. Plan the practical details

    Discuss your quote, preparation, follow-up, and support at home. Leave with a clear understanding of the next steps.

03 · Recovery

Make room for your recovery.

Plan time for swelling, bruising, incision care, and follow-up. Ask about help at home and returning to social activities. Your surgeon will guide a gradual return to exertion.

04 · Important considerations

An informed choice is a personal one.

Risks include hematoma, infection, poor healing, nerve injury, sensation changes, and scarring. Discuss individual risk factors and the limits of what a facelift can address. Your consultation includes a fuller discussion of risks, alternatives, and your individual suitability.

Common questions

Let’s talk through it.

Does a facelift treat the eyes and forehead?

Those areas may need separate treatment. Your consultation can consider the face as a whole.

Will a facelift stop aging?

No. Aging continues after surgery, and future changes vary with skin, health, and lifestyle.

How much does facelift cost?

Your individual plan determines your quote. Ask what is included, which fees may be separate, and whether follow-up or future treatments have additional costs.

How do I get started?

Call our team or send a consultation request. We will help arrange a conversation about your goals, medical history, and next steps.
