What is a Facelift

A facelift, also known as a Rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the face by addressing signs of aging. It typically involves lifting and tightening the skin and underlying tissues of the face to create a more youthful appearance. During the procedure, excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is repositioned to reduce wrinkles, sagging, and other visible signs of aging.

While a facelift can provide significant improvements, it’s important to note that it doesn’t stop the aging process, and results can vary. Most patients often choose a facelift performed at Galanis Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills to achieve a more refreshed and youthful look.

Types of Facelift Procedures

Deep Plane Facelift

A deep plane facelift targets the area where soft tissue starts to sag. It involves releasing four ligaments, freeing connective tissue and muscles, resulting in a natural yet striking improvement in facial structure.

Mini Facelift

A mini facelift is a modified facelift procedure featuring a smaller incision and reduced cutting of underlying tissue.

Ponytail Facelift

A ponytail facelift refers to a minimally-invasive lift achieved through small incisions, aiming to replicate the appearance of the face when the hair is tightly pulled into a high ponytail.

Mid Facelift

Sometimes called a cheek lift, is a cosmetic procedure that tightens the skin from the upper mouth to eye area.

Liquid Facelift

A liquid facelift is a minimally invasive cosmetic surgery procedure that employs injectables or fillers to attain a more youthful appearance.

Nonsurgical Facelift

A nonsurgical facelift encompasses a range of minimally invasive procedures to revitalize the face. Options include injectables like dermal fillers or devices utilizing energy sources such as ultrasound.

Thread Facelift

A thread lift is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that elevates and firms the skin, promoting a more youthful appearance. It also stimulates the body’s collagen production, enhancing skin firmness that naturally decreases with age. With a swift recovery and minimal complications, a thread lift procedure is an efficient option.

Facelift Technique

The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. Small drains are frequently placed and are usually removed the day after surgery. Depending on the patient’s features, a variety of approaches and techniques are available to the surgeon.

Incisions are typically imperceptible and located in the scalp near the ear and underneath the chin. Goals are to tighten the underlying muscular layers, remove excess skin, and address any fat deposits.

May be combined with other procedures not limited to but including:

Brow Lift
Midface or chin augmentation
Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping)
Eyelid surgery
Fat grafting

Facelift Recovery

Following outpatient surgery, patients should be monitored overnight by a caregiver, with provisions often made for overnight stays in specialized facilities. Immediate results can be expected, though bruising and swelling may persist for 1-2 weeks. Pain levels vary, with oral pain medication possibly required for 5 to 7 days. Overnight head wrapping is followed by postoperative day one removal; a concealed chin strap is worn for at least 2 weeks. Drains are removed the day after surgery, and sutures are removed at 5-7 and 10-14 days.

No restrictions on daily activities, but patients are encouraged to walk. Showering is permitted 2 days after surgery, with no lifting over 10 pounds for 2 weeks. Driving is allowed when necessary, with no strenuous activity or heavy lifting for 6 weeks. Anticipate taking 2 weeks off work, contingent on job demands. Postoperative follow-up appointments are scheduled at 1 week, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and as needed.

Restore Your Youthful Beauty

Most people who have age-related concerns are good candidates for dermal injectables. If you are bothered by fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, and other visible signs of aging, a consultation with Dr. Galanis will be able to pinpoint the dermal injectable that is ideal for restoring the beauty of your youth. From your cheeks to your lips to your hands, dermal injectables are ideal for your moderate aging concerns.

Facelift FAQ

Can you use this treatment in multiple areas?

Yes, dermal injectables can be used in multiple facial areas simultaneously for comprehensive anti-aging effects. This approach, sometimes called a 'liquid facelift,' can refresh your entire appearance by addressing multiple concerns at once.

When will you see results?

Results are visible immediately due to the gel-like filler adding volume. Optimal results develop within 1-2 weeks as collagen production increases and the product integrates with your tissues.

How can you maintain results?

Regular maintenance treatments every 6-12 months (depending on the product) will sustain your results. Consistent appointments help maintain a refreshed appearance long-term.

What can you expect from treatment?

Treatments are quick (about 30 minutes) and comfortable with topical numbing. No major preparation is needed - just avoid blood thinners, alcohol, tobacco, and spicy foods 24 hours prior. These non-allergenic treatments require no downtime.

How long do results last?

Duration varies from 6 months to 2+ years depending on: the product used, treatment area (lips fade faster than mid-face), your metabolism, age (younger patients often retain longer), and lifestyle factors like activity level.
