What a Face Lift Can Do
The effects of gravity, sun exposure, and daily life can create deep folds, jowls, and loose skin around the jawline and neck. A face lift repositions underlying tissues, removes excess fat, and smooths the skin to refresh your appearance. While it cannot stop aging, it can “set back the clock” and give you a more rested, confident look. A face lift may be combined with other procedures—such as eyelid surgery, a brow lift, or rhinoplasty—for more comprehensive results.
Am I a Candidate?
The best candidates for a facelift are healthy individuals who do not smoke and who have realistic expectations about recovery and results. Ideal candidates often notice sagging skin, deep creases around the mouth, or laxity along the jawline and neck. During your consultation, Dr. Becker will review your health history and goals to determine if a facelift—or a variation such as a mini face lift or lower face lift—is the right approach.
Your Procedure and Preparation
Every facelift is carefully planned around your anatomy and goals. Before surgery, you may be asked to adjust certain medications, stop smoking, and avoid aspirin or herbal supplements that increase bleeding risk. The procedure is performed in our AAAA–accredited surgical suite for the highest level of safety. Most facelifts involve discreet incisions placed along natural creases, allowing the skin and deeper tissues to be repositioned for a smoother, firmer result.
Recovery Timeline
Most patients find facelift recovery easier than expected. Discomfort is generally mild and well-controlled with medication. Dressings are removed within 3–5 days, and many patients resume social activities in about 1–2 weeks, using makeup or hairstyles to conceal minor bruising. While swelling subsides gradually, final results become more visible within a few months. Our team provides detailed instructions and close follow-up to support your recovery every step of the way.
Risks and Considerations
Complications are rare, but all surgeries carry some risk. Possible issues include bruising, bleeding, infection, temporary numbness, or minor asymmetry. These are carefully reviewed before your procedure so you can make an informed decision. With a board-certified surgeon and an accredited facility, safety protocols are in place to minimize these risks.
