If you do not want to go through the invasive nature of surgical facelifts, you could consider the non-surgical option. This surgical technique uses a blend of minimally invasive and nonsurgical procedures. Unlike a surgical procedure, a nonsurgical facelift does not require anesthesia, large incisions, or hospitalization, and you can leave almost immediately after. It may include:
The procedure begins with anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Depending on the type of facelift and your specific needs, our surgeon may recommend general or local anesthesia with sedation.
The incisions are closed with fine sutures or skin adhesives to minimize scarring. Special care is taken to keep scars as discreet as possible.
The cat-eye brow lift, performed using an endoscopic technique, enhances the outer brow and eye area for a more lifted, almond-shaped look. Through small incisions hidden within the hairline, the surgeon uses a tiny camera and specialized instruments to reposition the outer brow and tighten the surrounding tissues. This minimally invasive approach reduces scarring and recovery time while delivering a dramatic yet natural enhancement to the eye area, making it a popular complement to facelift surgery.
A lip lift is a subtle yet impactful procedure that shortens the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose, creating a more youthful and balanced facial profile. Elevating the upper lip enhances lip definition and reveals more of the pink lip tissue without fillers. A lip lift can harmonize facial proportions and add softness to the rejuvenated lower face when performed alongside a facelift.
Facial fat transfer involves harvesting a patient’s own fat (typically from the abdomen or thighs), purifying it, and injecting it into areas of the face that have lost volume. Common target areas include the cheeks, under-eye hollows, and nasolabial folds. When combined with a facelift, fat transfer restores youthful contours and fullness, enhancing the overall outcome by addressing both sagging and volume loss.
A neck lift is often performed with a facelift to create a seamless, rejuvenated appearance from the face down to the décolletage. This procedure targets loose skin, vertical banding, and excess fat in the neck area. The neck lift restores a smooth, defined jawline and neck contour by tightening the underlying muscles and removing or redistributing fat, ensuring the lower face and neck appear equally refreshed.
You will return home the same day or after an overnight stay. Expect swelling, bruising, and tightness. Keep your head elevated and rest as much as possible. Pain medication will be provided to manage discomfort.
Swelling and bruising may peak. Bandages are typically removed within this period. You will have your first follow-up appointment with your surgeon to check the healing progress.
Most bruising begins to fade, and stitches (if non-dissolvable) may be removed. Light activities can be resumed, but strenuous exercise should still be avoided.
Swelling continues to decrease. Many patients feel comfortable returning to work and social activities, especially with makeup to conceal residual bruising.
Final results become more visible as the healing process continues. Numbness or tightness may persist but will gradually improve.
