Techniques
Types of Facelifts
Facial anatomy, skin laxity, and the patient’s overall goals will determine the best facelift method. Every procedure is unique and individualized to the patient, considering factors like the type and exact location of the incision, depth of tissue layers, plane of elevation, and degree of impact. Our main facelift categories include:
-
Skin-Only Facelift: This minimally invasive option targets only the skin, offering subtle results with a shorter recovery time.
-
Traditional Facelift (SMAS): This method lifts and tightens the SMAS muscle layer, providing impressive and long-lasting results.
-
Deep Plane Lift: This technique reaches even deeper tissues for more dramatic rejuvenation and is ideal for severe sagging.
-
Mini Facelift: This option provides subtle, cost-effective enhancement with minimal invasiveness, including variations like the “Quicklift” or “Lifestyle Lift.”
The procedure
The Facelift Procedure
If approved for a facelift, it will take place under general anesthesia, most likely at our on-site, AAAASF-accredited surgery center in the heart of Fort Worth. Most facelift operations last between 3-4 hours. Your facelift surgeon will make an incision to adjust and tighten the skin and, if applicable, the underlying tissue. In almost all cases, these scars are well hidden as they fall just along the hairline and around the ears in the natural folds of the scalp.
Candidates
Am I a Good Candidate for a Facelift?
Ideal facelift patients are generally in good health, non-smokers, and realistic about their expectations. Those who experience visible sagging in the midface, deep folds around the nose and mouth, or a “jowled” appearance around the jawline will benefit most from this procedure. Patients should have some degree of skin elasticity to ensure optimal results.
Recovery
The Recovery Process
After surgery, patients will be somewhat bruised and swollen, and the face and neck will feel tight. These effects improve after a few days of recovery, though it can take several months for the final result to appear. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activity and to keep the head elevated to help with swelling.

Questions
Facelift FAQs
Are there nonsurgical alternatives to the facelift?
BOTOX®, injectable fillers, microdermabrasion, and chemical peels are some other options for smoothing mild to moderate wrinkles, enhancing volume, and improving skin tone. However, they only affect the skin’s surface. Patients with more pronounced sagging may need surgical intervention.
Will I look fake?
Working with skilled, reputable surgeons ensures a natural look, as they carefully consider the patient’s bone, skin, and muscle structures. In the days immediately following facelift surgery, patients will feel tight and pulled. These are temporary effects.
What is the best age for a facelift?
Most facelift patients are between 50 and 70 years old, though younger patients (40-50) tend to have longer-lasting results due to better skin elasticity. It is safe to say most patients will look 5-10 years younger following a facelift procedure.
