Facelift

Sound familiar?

When your face stops matching how you feel

Facial aging can show up slowly: a jawline that softens, jowls that change your profile, skin that feels heavier, or a neck that gives away more than you want. These are the moments when a consultation can bring clarity.

Sagging jowls
Lower-face fullness or drooping can change the shape of your face in photos and mirrors.
Softened jawline
The clean line between face and neck may feel less defined than it used to.
Loose lower-face skin
Skin laxity can make the face look heavier, tired, or older than you feel.
Neck aging
Loose neck skin or banding may be part of the same lower-face conversation.
The solution

A facelift should still look like you

Facelift surgery is designed to address visible aging in the lower face and often the neck, including jowls, loose skin, deeper folds, and loss of definition around the jawline.

The consultation is where the decision becomes personal. Your specialist can explain whether facelift, mini facelift, lower facelift, neck lift, or another option best fits your anatomy and goals.

Why patients choose it

What patients are usually hoping to change

A more defined jawline
For the right candidate, facelift planning can address lower-face heaviness that softens the jawline.
Less visible jowling
The goal is to improve the sagging that can make the face look tired, heavy, or older than you feel.
A refreshed lower face
Facelift is meant to support facial balance without making you look pulled or unlike yourself.
Clarity when fillers stop helping
When non-surgical treatments are no longer enough, a surgical consultation can explain realistic options.

Common questions

Everything you need to know

How do I know if I am ready for a facelift?

A consultation is the best first step. Many patients start when jowls, lower-face heaviness, or neck laxity become difficult to improve with non-surgical treatments.

Will a facelift make me look pulled?

That is a common concern. The goal of a thoughtful facelift plan is natural-looking refinement, not changing who you are. Your specialist can explain what is realistic for your face.

Is a mini facelift enough?

It depends on your anatomy, skin laxity, and goals. A consultation can help compare mini facelift, lower facelift, facelift, and neck lift options.

Can a facelift help jowls and jawline definition?

Facelift planning commonly focuses on the lower face, including jowls and jawline softness. Your specialist can explain whether your concerns fit that approach.

What does a surgical consultation cost?

The surgical consultation fee is $100, paid when scheduling. It is non-refundable and credited toward surgery. Quotes provided at your consultation are valid for six months.
