Turning Back the Clock
A facelift (rhytidectomy) tightens the lower face and neck...
by removing excess skin and resuspending the support structures of the face to improve the jowls, nasolabial folds, downturned mouth, platysmal bands, and lax neck.
In the preoperative consultation, a cosmetic and medical evaluation is completed to ensure that elective surgery is safe. Medications that interfere with clotting (i.e., Aspirin, NSAIDs) are stopped, and tobacco use must be avoided for six weeks before and after surgery. The procedure takes between two to four hours, and an overnight stay for observation may be required, depending on preferences, health status, and intra-operative findings.

Revive Your Radiance
During a Mobile facelift at the Park & Rebowe Clinic, incisions are placed in subtle locations: around the ear and at or in the hairline in the temple and posterior scalp. The skin of the face and neck are then elevated to allow resuspension of the deeper structures of the face, the SMAS (submuscular aponeurotic system), and removal of excess skin. Deep support rather than skin tension avoids the excessively tight, “wind-swept” or “Joan Rivers” look, which was common in the past and frightens so many patients who desire facial rejuvenation. Technique variations are utilized in appropriate patients. These include:
Mini-Facelifts for minor facial rejuvenation where less change is needed and/or minimal recovery time is available.
Short scar facelifts such as the MACS lift (Minimal Access Cranial Suspension), which utilizes looped sutures to tighten the support structures of the face, and a composite facelift that leaves the skin attached to the underlying orbicularis.
SMAS, and platysma muscle, subperiosteal facelift, which elevates the face just above the bone.
Endoscopic Facelift, which uses smaller incisions to elevate the deep structures of the face when limited skin removal is necessary.
Heavily marketed terms include “Lunchtime lifts,” “Thread lifts,” and “Weekend Facelifts.” All of these are quite different from facelifts and have limited success. These techniques use sutures to elevate the skin without redraping, and the effects are short-lived, one to two years typically, but the problems with the sutures are permanent.
The traditional facelift will lift the jowls, neck, and cheek skin between the cheekbones and ears. It does not, however, lift the skin and tissues lying over the cheekbones themselves. With aging, the zygomatic ligaments that support the malar fat pad stretch, allowing descent, reducing the prominence of the cheek, and deepening the nasolabial fold. The mid-face is usually addressed as an addition to the standard facelift, but in patients with an acceptable neck and lower face, the mid-facelift may be done as an isolated procedure or in conjunction with operations to rejuvenate the lower eyelids.
A mid-facelift takes one to two hours and involves the suspension of the malar fat pad through the facelift incision, lower eyelid incision, intraoral incision, or endoscopic approach. This strengthens the cheekbone and improves the nasolabial fold, rejuvenating the face.
Post-Operative Care
The post-operative course is variable depending on patient variables and the combination of procedures performed, but in most of our Mobile facelift patients, a bulky dressing with or without a drainage tube is used for one to two days. Swelling and bruising will be significant for several days, and noticeable by others for several weeks.
Swelling persists for many months but is usually minor and rarely noticed by others. Temporary post-operative numbness is expected, and pain is usually easily controlled. There may be scattered areas of firmness as small collections of fluid and blood go through resorption and the normal healing process.
As the swelling resolves, the fine skin wrinkles will recur unless they have been separately treated with skin resurfacing, such as laser, peel, dermabrasion, or other modalities. Sutures are removed from the face within a week and from the hair within two weeks. Activity is limited for the first week and gradually increases over a month back to normal levels. Two weeks is the most common time frame before you can be in public uncovered without standing out, sooner with sunglasses and makeup. Over one to two months, as swelling subsides, the scars settle, and their redness fades so that the results can be appreciated.

The timing for a facelift varies from person to person and is not solely determined by age. Typically, individuals in their 40s to 60s consider facelifts, as this is when signs of aging, such as sagging skin and wrinkles, become more noticeable. However, the decision should be based on your unique concerns and goals, not just your age. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon is essential to determine if a facelift is the right option for you.
The results of a facelift are long-lasting but not entirely permanent. While a facelift can significantly turn back the clock on aging, it cannot stop the natural aging process. Over time, you may continue to age, but you'll likely look younger than if you hadn't had the procedure. The longevity of results can be influenced by factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices. To maintain your rejuvenated appearance, you should follow a good skincare regimen and protect your skin from sun damage. Periodic non-surgical treatments or touch-up procedures can also extend the benefits of your facelift.
Yes, we create a unique surgical plan for every patient, which can include multiple areas of concern in the neck, midface, upper face, eyes, lips, cheeks, brows, or elsewhere. These surgeries can be performed together for full facial rejuvenation or separated out based on safety considerations and your surgeon’s recommendations.
