What Is a Facelift?

A facelift – or rhytidectomy – is a cosmetic surgery that tightens skin, smooths deep folds, and lifts sagging areas. It’s a popular choice for people who are self-conscious about wrinkles or sagging skin in their cheeks and jawline. Dr. Hanz and his team can contour these sites to enhance the face’s natural structure and reduce the signs of aging.

 

Facial Rejuvenation at Kevin R. Hanz, M.D. 

A time-honored technique in facial rejuvenation, the SMAS facelift (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System)—often performed using a Deep Plane facelift approach—targets the deeper layers of facial tissue to lift and reposition sagging skin. This advanced facial plastic surgery procedure is ideal for patients with moderate to severe facial aging, offering long-lasting facelift results and natural-looking facial rejuvenation by addressing both skin laxity and underlying structural support. By strategically releasing and elevating the SMAS layer along with deeper tissues, board-certified plastic surgeons can enhance facial contours, improve jawline definition, and restore youthful volume—while preserving natural expressions and maintaining the patient’s unique facial character for a truly refreshed and authentic appearance. 

  • Non-Surgical – Using technology and the addition of volume such as fat or filler. Dr. Hanz is able to reverse the early signs of aging without invasive surgery. 
  • Ace Lift – Ideal for individuals seeking early intervention, the Ace Lift offers a subtle yet significant rejuvenation with minimal downtime, addressing early signs of laxity with precision. 
  • Deep Plane “SMAS” FaceliftA gold-standard in facial rejuvenation, the Deep Plane “SMAS” facelift (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) is an advanced surgical technique that targets deeper facial structures to lift, tighten, and reposition sagging skin. Ideal for patients with moderate to advanced facial aging, the SMAS layer is carefully manipulated during surgery to provide long-lasting, natural-looking facelift results by enhancing facial contours and restoring youthful definition. This technique goes beyond traditional methods by releasing and lifting deeper facial tissues for a more transformative and enduring outcome. The Deep Plane “SMAS” facelift offers a comprehensive solution for facial saggingskin laxity, and age-related volume loss, delivering a refined yet authentic rejuvenation.

Different Types of Facelifts

Facelifts aren’t one-size-fits-all. There are several types to match different needs. Each type has unique benefits, and Dr. Hanz will help you understand which best fits your goals.

  • Full Facelift – Traditional facelifts address sagging skin and deep creases. They’re the most common and most thorough. We use these for men and women with visible signs of aggressive aging.
  • Mid-Facelift – If you’re seeking a minimally invasive option to enhance your cheeks and upper jaw, we may recommend a mid-facelift. It’s ideal for the lower two-thirds of your face.
  • Lower Facelift – This approach is for individuals who want to focus on their lower face and neck. It may also incorporate non-surgical injections.
  • Mini Facelift – This technique creates subtle, natural-looking enhancements of the mouth and jawline.

Understanding the Facelift Process

The first step of the facelift process is a consultation in Dallas, TX. We’ll discuss your medical history, facial structure, desired results, and more. During this time, you may ask questions and Dr. Hanz will let you know what to expect from your procedure. On surgery day, we will begin by administering anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Next, we’ll make precise incisions around your ears and hairline. This allows Dr. Hanz to lift and tighten underlying tissues. We’ll monitor you following surgery and then provide detailed instructions for post-operative care.

Facelift Recovery Timeline

Facelift recovery is a crucial phase of the process, requiring patience and care. Immediately after surgery, you may experience swelling and bruising. However, that should subside in a couple of weeks. Most patients return to work within 10 days but may need to take some precautions. We’ll provide comprehensive guidance regarding activities and skincare to enhance healing. While full recovery may take several months, the final results will gradually become evident.

Frequently Asked Questions

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A FACELIFT?

Ideal candidates for a facelift have visible lines and facial wrinkles on the entire face or on the upper, mid, or lower face. A facelift can address various sections, depending on your unique signs of aging and your overall goals. You should be physically healthy, refrain from smoking, and have realistic expectations.

While age doesn’t necessarily define the appropriate time to have cosmetic facial surgery, skin elasticity is one of the key elements in the decision-making process. The treatment chosen will vary for patients who are in their 30s vs. those who are older, such as 60 or 70 years old. Schedule a consultation to speak with Dr. Hanz, who can help determine the right technique for your goals.

How much will a facelift cost me?

The cost of your facelift will vary based on the technique used and areas being addressed. During your consultation, Dr. Hanz will create your treatment plan and then he can discuss estimates of fees.

To avoid unnatural-looking results, it’s better to concentrate on finding an experienced surgeon, like Dr. Hanz, instead of the lowest price. Kevin R. Hanz, MD Aesthetic Plastic Surgery can give you information on low-interest medical financing that can make your facelift more affordable.

Should I get a surgical or nonsurgical facelift?

Although there are several great noninvasive skin tightening procedures, these can usually only give you small improvements. If you have moderate to severe skin sagging, a surgical facelift is typically the best choice to improve your appearance. During your consultation, Dr. Hanz will discuss your options, including nonsurgical treatments, to help you decide what is best for your goals.

What about wrinkle fillers and relaxers over facelift surgery?

Wrinkle fillers and relaxers have become more popular to refresh the face. Sometimes known as a liquid facelift, injectable wrinkle treatments usually help with early signs of aging; however, the results won’t last more than 1 – 2 years. A surgical facelift can produce more significant improvements than injectables with results that last much longer. Ask Dr. Hanz about injectable treatments during your consultation, and he can help you make the right decisions based on your goals.

Will my results look natural?

Some patients worry that a facelift will make their skin look overly tight or like they live in a wind tunnel. Dr. Hanz focuses on giving you a natural-looking result so you look refreshed and not fake. Schedule a consultation to learn more.
