Ideal Candidates
Ideal facelift candidates are individuals who are…
- Looking to reduce sagging or drooping skin around the face and neck.
- Unhappy with signs of aging, such as jowls or deep lines.
- Comfortable with undergoing a surgical procedure for long-lasting results.
It’s essential to be in good health and have realistic expectations.
A facelift can rejuvenate your appearance, but it will not stop the natural aging process.

- After surgery, we’ll make sure you have all aftercare resources and arrange follow-up appointments.
The Procedure
A facelift is designed to lift and tighten the face and neck, restoring a youthful and refreshed appearance.
This procedure offers more lasting results compared to non-surgical options, addressing deeper layers of tissue for a natural and long-term outcome.
The focus is on smoothing wrinkles, lifting sagging skin, and enhancing facial symmetry.
Different techniques can target specific areas, such as the mid-face, jawline, or neck.
If desired, we can customize the approach to achieve your ideal look.
Recovery
It’s normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and tightness in the face after surgery.
Most patients can return to work within 2–3 weeks, though it’s important to avoid strenuous activity for the first few weeks.
Final results typically become visible within 8–12 weeks, with full healing taking up to several months as swelling fully resolves.
Following the aftercare instructions is crucial for optimizing your results and minimizing complications. By adhering to the recovery plan, you can ensure a smoother healing process and the best outcome.
During the recovery period, regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled. These visits allow Dr. Greg to monitor your healing progress, answer any questions, and provide additional guidance.
Dr. Greg’s expertise and ongoing support will help you feel confident and delighted with your refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
