Defy the Effects
of Time on Your Face
A facelift is a surgical procedure that gives the face a more youthful appearance. It involves lifting and tightening the underlying facial muscles to create a more aesthetically pleasing contour and rejuvenated structure. Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is draped smoothly over the newly repositioned contours. This procedure addresses signs of aging like sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and loss of muscle tone in the face and neck.
At Evolve Plastic Surgery, our board-certified plastic surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure natural-looking results with minimal scarring. A facelift can significantly enhance your appearance by reducing the visible effects of aging, leading to improved self-confidence and overall satisfaction with your look. Our experienced team tailors each procedure to meet individual needs, ensuring optimal outcomes for every patient.

Your Facelift Options
Full Facelift
A full facelift, also known as a traditional facelift, addresses significant signs of aging across the entire face and neck. This comprehensive procedure involves lifting and tightening the underlying facial muscles, removing excess skin, and smoothing deep wrinkles and creases. Ideal for those seeking dramatic and long-lasting results, a full facelift provides a youthful and rejuvenated appearance, enhancing overall facial harmony.
Mini Facelift
A mini facelift is a less invasive option that focuses on the lower face and jawline. This procedure targets early signs of aging, such as mild sagging and jowls. With smaller incisions and a shorter recovery time, a mini facelift is perfect for patients who want subtle improvements without the extensive downtime associated with a full facelift. The results are natural-looking and effectively refresh the facial appearance.
SMAS Facelift
The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) facelift is a specialized technique that addresses the deeper layers of facial tissue. By lifting and repositioning the SMAS layer, this procedure provides more substantial and longer-lasting results than a traditional skin-only facelift. The SMAS facelift effectively treats sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and jowls, offering a more youthful and contoured facial appearance for an extended period.

- Tightens sagging facial and neck skin
- Reduces deep creases and wrinkles

Your Facelift Journey:
Before, During, and After
Before Facelift
Before your facelift at Evolve Plastic Surgery, you’ll have a thorough consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeons to discuss your goals and evaluate your facial structure. This helps us tailor the procedure to your needs. You’ll receive detailed pre-operative instructions to follow, such as avoiding certain medications, stopping smoking, and arranging for post-surgery care. Our team makes sure you feel informed and confident about your procedure.
During Facelift
Your facelift at Evolve Plastic Surgery is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Our board-certified plastic surgeons make discreet incisions, typically around the hairline and ears. They lift and tighten the underlying facial muscles, remove excess skin, and reposition the remaining skin for a smoother, more youthful appearance. Depending on the extent of the work, the procedure can take several hours.
After Facelift
After your facelift at Evolve Plastic Surgery, you’ll experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which are normal side effects. Our team will provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions to manage these symptoms. You’ll need to take it easy for the first few weeks and avoid strenuous activities. Most patients return to normal activities within two to three weeks, but exercise should be avoided for four to six weeks.
Facelift FAQs
What is the Ideal Age for a Facelift?
There is no specific “ideal” age for a facelift, as it depends on individual factors such as skin condition, genetics, and aging signs. Most patients consider a facelift in their 40s to 60s when signs of aging become more pronounced. Our board-certified plastic surgeons can help determine the best timing for your procedure during your consultation.
How Long Do Facelift Results Last?
Facelift results can last between 7 to 10 years, depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and maintenance. While a facelift cannot stop the aging process, it can set the clock back, giving you a more youthful appearance for many years. Proper skincare, a healthy lifestyle, and avoiding excessive sun exposure can help prolong your results.
Will I Have Visible Scars After a Facelift?
Our surgeons at Evolve Plastic Surgery use advanced techniques to minimize scarring. Incisions are strategically placed around the hairline and ears, making them less noticeable. Over time, scars typically fade and become even less visible. Proper post-operative care, such as following wound care instructions, can also help minimize scar visibility.
How Long is the Recovery Period After a Facelift?
Recovery time varies among individuals, but most patients can return to normal activities within two to three weeks. Initial swelling and bruising subside within the first two weeks, and any residual effects continue to improve over the next few months. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to support your recovery.
Can a Facelift Be Combined With Other Procedures?
Yes, a facelift can be combined with other procedures such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), brow lift, or neck lift for a more comprehensive rejuvenation. Our board-certified plastic surgeons will discuss the best options for you based on your goals.
