Facelift surgery is a surgical approach to restore midface support, tighten sagging skin, and rejuvenate the lower face and neck. Techniques vary from a mini-facelift to a full deep-plane lift, selected to preserve expression and natural movement.
At our practice, we tailor the plan to your anatomy and goals, using 3D imaging and AI-assisted facelift planning to choose incision patterns, tissue repositioning, and potential fat grafting that restore youthful contours while maintaining your unique look.

Good candidates are adults with realistic goals who notice loss of jawline definition, neck looseness, or sagging skin around the cheeks. A thorough medical evaluation ensures safety, and smokers or those with certain medical conditions may be advised to optimize before surgery.
Age is less important than skin quality, bone structure, and overall health. A detailed consultation helps determine whether a facelift, a mini-facelift, or a combination of non-surgical treatments best meets your goals.
We combine medical excellence with artistic refinement to preserve your natural expressions. Our team prioritizes patient safety, meticulous planning, and clear communication from the first consultation to the final postoperative visit.
The result is a tailored plan that respects your lifestyle, ensuring you look refreshed rather than appearances altered. Expect compassionate care and careful attention to incision placement and scar quality.
