What Is a Facelift?
A facelift (rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that tightens and repositions facial tissues to reverse signs of aging. Unlike non-surgical treatments, a facelift provides long-lasting, transformative results by addressing both skin laxity and underlying muscle structures.
At Beautiful You, we tailor each facelift to your anatomy, age, and desired outcome. The result? A youthful, balanced, and natural look—never “pulled” or artificial.
Types of Facelifts We Offer
1. Mini Facelift
-
Best for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity.
-
Targets the lower face and jawline, improving early jowls and sagging.
-
Involves smaller incisions, shorter recovery time, and less downtime.
-
Often recommended for patients in their 40s and early 50s.
2. SMASplasty Facelift
-
Focuses on the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS)—the layer of tissue beneath the skin.
-
Repositions and tightens the SMAS for more natural, longer-lasting results than a skin-only lift.
-
Ideal for patients with moderate sagging, deeper wrinkles, and visible jowls.
-
Provides comprehensive rejuvenation of the mid-face, jawline, and lower face.
3. Deep Plane Facelift
-
The most advanced and powerful facelift technique.
-
Lifts and repositions deep facial structures, ligaments, and fat pads, rather than just pulling skin.
-
Creates the most natural, dramatic, and long-lasting results.
-
Particularly effective for patients with significant sagging, deep folds, and aging in the midface.
-
Results can last 10–15 years, making it ideal for patients seeking transformative change.
Recovery & Healing
-
-
-
-
Initial Downtime: Most patients return to light activities within 10–14 days.
-
Swelling & Bruising: Common in the first week, gradually resolving over 2–3 weeks.
-
Discomfort: Mild to moderate, managed with prescribed medications.
-
Final Results: As swelling subsides, you’ll notice a smoother, firmer, and more youthful facial contour that can last 7–15 years depending on technique.
