The Facelift Procedure Customized for You

A facelift is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures, giving you the ability to undo years of facial aging in a single treatment. This procedure removes excess skin and tightens the skin on the face to smooth jowls, wrinkles, and folds. A facelift is one of the only surgeries that can produce such dramatic, beautiful results in one session. It also repositions underlying facial tissues for a more natural-looking lift, rather than simply pulling the skin tight.

Dr. Afrooz, a board-certified plastic surgeon recognized as one of Miami’s top facial specialists, uses his expertise and advanced techniques to deliver outstanding results, ensuring each facelift is customized for optimal, natural outcomes. Dr. Afrooz sets himself apart in the world of cosmetic facial surgery, thanks to an undying commitment to surgical excellence, reflected in the care he brings to each and every individual procedure.

Facelift Options

Mini Facelift

A mini facelift is similar to a traditional facelift, but it targets a smaller area of the face. A mini facelift addresses the cheeks and jowls and is a more “accelerated” version of a facelift, with shorter treatment time and a faster recovery. This procedure will leave some areas untreated, such as the forehead. It is an intricate procedure that must be performed with the highest level of precision and technical expertise.

Mid-Facelift

A mid-facelift is a surgical procedure that targets the area between the lower eyelids and the mouth. It addresses sagging cheeks, deep nasolabial folds, and other signs of aging in the midface area. This procedure is less invasive than a full facelift, but more extensive than a mini facelift. It involves lifting the soft tissues of the cheeks to restore volume and definition to the midface region. The procedure requires a high level of surgical skill and precision but typically results in a shorter recovery time than a full facelift.

Lower Facelift

A lower facelift tightens the jowls and eliminates the double chin, resulting in a defined jawline and a firmer, smoother neck. A lower facelift has multiple benefits, including less cost and invasiveness than a full facelift, minimal scarring, and the ability to reduce signs of aging, tighten the jowls and jawline, and enhance self-confidence.

Deep Plane Facelift

A deep plane facelift is a more comprehensive version of a traditional facelift, providing longer-lasting and more dramatic results. It involves repositioning not only the skin but also the deeper tissues and muscles of the face, leading to a more youthful appearance that can last for up to 10 years. Unlike a mini facelift, a deep plane facelift addresses the entire face, including the forehead, mid-face, and neck.

Revision Facelift

Also known as a secondary facelift, a revision facelift is a surgical procedure that corrects or revises the results of a previous facelift. A revision facelift is an extremely precise and delicate procedure that must be done by a revision facelift expert.

Male Facelift

Restore a youthful, defined jawline and masculine facial contours with a male facelift by facial rejuvenation specialist, Dr. Paul Afrooz. His surgical techniques help address jowls and sagging skin while preserving your authentic masculine features.

Dr. Afrooz's Signature 4D Lift Explained

A single-plane lift can only do so much, since facial aging happens in layers. Dr. Afrooz built his Signature 4D Lift around that reality, working through skin, muscle, fat, and volume in one coordinated procedure. The technique, featured by NewBeauty, grew out of his fellowship training in face and neck lift surgery. The four dimensions:

  1. Reducing skin laxity: Excess, crepey skin is removed and the rest redraped along the face's natural contours, without the stretched look older lift techniques can leave behind.
  2. Tightening the underlying musculature: The SMAS layer, the muscular support beneath the skin, is repositioned and secured. This structural support is what gives results their longevity.
  3. Eliminating fullness in the neck: Excess fat is removed and the platysma muscle tightened to sharpen the jawline and clean up the transition from jaw to neck.
  4. Reintroducing youthful volume: Fat transfer rebuilds areas that have thinned with age, so the face reads as refreshed rather than simply pulled tight.

Frequently Asked Questions Facelift

How long will my facelift results last?

The longevity of facelift results varies, but typically they can last up to 15 plus years, depending on individual factors and the specific techniques employed.

How can I reduce swelling after my facelift?

To minimize swelling after a facelift, following post-operative instructions such as keeping your head elevated, applying cold compresses, and taking prescribed medications as directed can be helpful.

Are there any risks with facelift surgery?

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks associated with facelift surgery, including but not limited to infection, bleeding, scarring, and temporary numbness.

What is the best age for facelift surgery?

The ideal age for facelift surgery can vary depending on individual circumstances, but it is generally recommended for individuals in their 40s to 70s who show signs of aging and desire facial rejuvenation.

What procedures can I combine with my facelift?

Facelift surgery can be combined with complementary procedures such as eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), brow lift, or facial fat transfer to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Will I have visible scars after facelift surgery?

In most cases, there will be some scarring, but a skilled surgeon will aim to place incisions in inconspicuous areas, such as behind the ears or within the hairline, to minimize their visibility.

Facelift Incisions

How can I prepare for my facelift?

To prepare for your facelift, follow your surgeon's pre-operative instructions, which may include quitting smoking, avoiding certain medications, and arranging for post-operative care and transportation. It's crucial to have a thorough discussion with your surgeon to ensure you're well-prepared.

Can a facelift help with issues like acne scars or sun damage?

A facelift primarily addresses sagging and aging-related concerns in the lower face and neck. While it can improve overall skin quality, it may not be the most effective solution for specific issues like acne scars or extensive sun damage, for which other treatments like laser therapy or chemical peels may be more appropriate.

How long is surgery for a facelift?

Facelift surgery generally takes between 3 to 5 hours, depending on the techniques used and the complexity of each case.

What anesthesia is used?

A facelift is typically performed under general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort throughout the procedure.

When can I go home after surgery?

Facelift patients spend the first night recovering in our private recovery apartment, on-site, under the constant monitoring of our talented nurses.

When can I return to work?

Those working from home may feel comfortable resuming duties within 1-2 weeks. For in-office roles, a 3-4 week period is generally recommended.

How is the pain after facelift surgery?

Discomfort is usually manageable with prescribed medication and should lessen significantly within the first week. Patients report initial tightness feeling due to immediate swelling, but that feeling subsides after a week.
