Facelift
Turn Back Time with a Refreshed, Natural Look
A facelift is one of the most transformative procedures in facial aesthetics, designed to rejuvenate your appearance by lifting and tightening sagging skin, smoothing wrinkles, and redefining facial contours. Dr. Rhodes specializes in creating subtle, natural results that enhance your unique features without looking overdone. With advanced techniques and personalized care, we help you achieve a youthful, confident look that feels like you.
What is a Facelift?
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that addresses the visible signs of aging in the face and jawline. Over time, skin loses elasticity, and facial tissues may sag, leading to wrinkles, jowls, and a tired appearance. A facelift helps to:
Tighten sagging skin and muscles for a smoother, firmer appearance.
Remove or reposition excess fat to enhance facial contours.
Restore a youthful shape to the jawline and cheeks.
Dr. Rhodes employs cutting-edge techniques, such as the deep plane facelift, which focuses on lifting the deeper tissues of the face for long-lasting, natural-looking results. His precise approach provides a facelift that is personalized to each person’s goals and requests.
Your Facelift Journey: What to Expect
Personalized Consultation
During your consultation, Dr. Rhodes will discuss your concerns, evaluate your facial structure, and develop a customized plan tailored to your goals. Using advanced imaging, Dr. Rhodes provides a clear preview of your potential results. This is the time to ask any questions or discuss any concerns about your procedure.
The Procedure
Facelift surgery is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Dr. Rhodes carefully places incisions in discreet locations, such as along the hairline or behind the ears, to minimize visible scarring. The underlying facial tissues are lifted and repositioned, excess skin is removed, and the skin is re-draped for a natural, youthful appearance. There are many different approaches to this surgery, such as a mini facelift or facial fat grafting.
Recovery and Results
Recovery typically takes 2–3 weeks, with swelling and bruising subsiding over time. Most patients return to normal activities within 10–14 days. Dr. Rhodes provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results. Over the following months, you’ll enjoy a revitalized, youthful look that feels entirely natural.
