What is A Facelift?
A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that aims to reduce visible signs of aging in the face and neck. It involves tightening the underlying facial tissues, removing excess skin, and repositioning or sculpting fat to restore a more youthful facial contour. Facelifts can address various concerns such as sagging skin, deep creases, jowls, and loose facial muscles. The procedure can provide a more refreshed and rejuvenated appearance, enhancing self-confidence and improving overall facial harmony. It is important to consult with Dr. Fadi Chahin, a qualified plastic surgeon, to determine if a facelift is the right option for you and to discuss the specific techniques and expected outcomes based on your individual needs and goals.
What is the process?
It involves making discreet incisions around the ears and hairline to lift and reposition underlying facial tissues, addressing sagging and restoring a more youthful appearance. Excess skin is trimmed, and deeper layers are tightened to achieve smoother results. Liposuction may be used to remove excess fat from the neck and jawline. The procedure is performed under anesthesia, and the incisions are carefully closed. Facelift surgery provides transformative results, helping individuals achieve a rejuvenated and more youthful look.
Benefits of Facelift
Rejuvenated Appearance
Facelift surgery can effectively address sagging skin, deep folds, jowls, and other signs of aging in the face and neck. By tightening the underlying tissues and removing excess skin, a facelift can provide a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Improved Facial Contours
Facelifts can restore definition to the jawline and neck, helping to eliminate the appearance of a “double chin” or a “turkey wattle.” The procedure can create a smoother and more contoured facial profile.
Boost in Self-Confidence
Many individuals who undergo a facelift report increased self-confidence and a positive impact on their overall well-being. The procedure can help individuals feel more comfortable and satisfied with their appearance, leading to improved self-esteem.
Long-lasting Results
While the natural aging process will continue, the results of a facelift are long-lasting. The effects of the surgery can endure for many years, allowing individuals to enjoy a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Customizable Approach
Facelift surgery can be tailored to address specific concerns and desired outcomes. The procedure can be combined with other facial rejuvenation techniques, such as eyelid surgery or fat grafting, to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation and harmonious results.
Procedure Timeline
CONSULTATION
During the initial consultation, you will meet with Dr. Chahin to discuss your concerns, goals, and medical history. Dr. Chahin will evaluate your facial features and skin condition to determine if a facelift is suitable for you.
PRE-OPERATIVE PREPARATION
Prior to the surgery, you will receive instructions on how to prepare. This may include avoiding certain medications or supplements, quitting smoking, and arranging for someone to drive you home after the procedure.

You may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medication and cold compresses. You will be given instructions on how to care for the incisions and what activities to avoid during the initial recovery period.
