A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to give a more youthful facial appearance. By addressing the signs of aging, a facelift can reduce sagging skin on the face and neck, and tighten the underlying tissues. Our trusted plastic surgeons, Dr. Edward Park and Dr. Alex Cheah, specialize in various facelift techniques that cater to the specific needs of adults typically between the ages of 40 and 70.
At Face N Body Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, we offer various facelift options, including the Deep Plane Facelift, which repositions deeper structures to create a remarkably natural and long-lasting lift. The primary purpose is to refresh your appearance, smoothing wrinkles, tightening sagging skin, and redefining your jawline and neck for a harmonious and more youthful profile. Our surgeons meticulously tailor each approach to ensure results that look like you, only more vibrant.
Your cosmetic surgery journey at Face N Body begins long before the day of surgery, with thorough consultations to discuss your vision and prepare you for the process. On the day of your procedure, you'll arrive at our AAAHC-accredited on-site surgery center, where our dedicated and kind staff, along with our board-certified anesthesiologist with over 30 years of experience, will ensure your comfort and safety.
The procedure may be performed under twilight or general anesthesia and typically involves incisions strategically placed within the hairline and around the ears to minimize visible scarring. Dr. Park or Dr. Cheah will then carefully lift and reposition the deeper facial soft tissues and muscles, remove excess facial skin, and sculpt the face and neck contours as desired to achieve a naturally refreshed appearance.
The length of the surgery varies, depending on the technique or extent required, but our focus is always on precision and delivering beautiful, natural-looking results. After the procedure, you'll rest comfortably under our attentive care before being ready to go home.
At Face N Body, we design each facelift to reflect the uniqueness of each individual’s features and concerns, taking a nuanced and personalized approach to ensure treatment includes no more and no less than what’s needed to achieve the desired outcome. Each facelift may consist of a limited approach to prevent overtreatment or be expanded for patients seeking complete facial rejuvenation.
We often incorporate more minor facial rejuvenation procedures to ensure each area of concern is addressed with the care and precision it deserves. Depending on your aesthetic goals and treatment preferences, your facelift may include such procedures as a brow lift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), facial fat grafting, or a neck lift.
A youthful face resembles an inverted triangle, in which the upper face appears broader and the lower face tapers toward the chin. As aging occurs, facial volume begins to descend, creating a broader appearance in the lower face and essentially reversing the triangle structure.
A facelift is designed to effectively combat this change and address the most common and prominent signs of aging and restore a smoother and more defined facial structure. The procedure expertly addresses:
By targeting these areas comprehensively, a facelift effectively turns back the clock, giving you a refreshed and revitalized appearance.
A facelift primarily focuses on rejuvenating the mid-face, lower face, and neck, creating a more youthful and harmonious transition from your jawline to your décolletage.
A facelift offers profound benefits that extend far beyond simply looking younger; it's about feeling revitalized and confident in your own skin.
Unlike temporary solutions, a facelift provides significant and long-lasting improvements. By addressing the deeper structures of the face and neck, it delivers a natural-looking rejuvenation that can make you look years younger, creating a balanced and refreshed appearance that truly stands the test of time.
Many patients report a remarkable boost in self-esteem and confidence after a facelift. When your outer appearance aligns with how young and vibrant you feel on the inside, it can positively impact every aspect of your life, from social interactions to personal well-being. It’s about feeling truly comfortable and proud of your reflection.
A facelift doesn't just smooth wrinkles; it expertly redefines your jawline, lifts sagging jowls, and tightens loose skin on your neck. For patients with more advanced signs of aging in the neck, a neck lift can be incorporated into your procedure to achieve a more sculpted and elegant facial and neck contour, eliminating the "turkey neck," and restoring a clear, youthful demarcation between your face and neck.
Ideal candidates for facelift surgery are adults (typically those in their 50s and beyond) who exhibit moderate to severe signs of facial aging, such as sagging, deep wrinkles, jowls, and loose neck skin, and who still retain some skin elasticity.
To undergo facelift surgery safely and successfully, candidates should be in good overall health, are non-smokers, and hold realistic expectations about the outcome. It's crucial to understand that a facelift enhances your natural features, rather than dramatically altering who you are.
During your consultation, Dr. Park or Dr. Cheah will take a personalized approach to assess your facial structure, skin condition, and aesthetic goals to determine the most appropriate facelift technique for you.
The recovery period following a facelift is a crucial part of your journey towards beautiful results, and our compassionate team at Face N Body will support you every step of the way. You'll typically experience some bruising, swelling, and mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medication. We'll provide detailed post-operative instructions, including how to care for your incisions, wear any necessary bandages or compression garments, and manage swelling.
Our team will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing process and ensure you achieve the best possible outcome. Patience is key during recovery, as your face continues to heal and reveal its refined contours.
The facelift recovery timeline varies by the type of facelift performed. Generally, patients can expect to return to normal activities within two weeks. Our team provides comprehensive guidance on how to care for your skin post-surgery to ensure a smooth and swift healing process.
While initial improvements are visible almost immediately after surgery, the true, refined results of your facelift will gradually emerge as swelling subsides over the weeks and months following your procedure. Most significant changes are apparent by the 3-6 month mark, with subtle enhancements continuing for up to a year.
The results of a facelift are remarkably long-lasting. While the aging process continues, a facelift effectively "sets back the clock" by approximately 10 years. With proper skincare and a healthy lifestyle, the rejuvenating effects can endure for 10 to 15 years or even longer. The benefit is a refreshed appearance that ages gracefully from your new, more youthful baseline. While a facelift does not stop future aging, appropriate skin care and maintenance can ensure you always look a decade younger than if you hadn’t had the procedure.
Facelift surgery can significantly reverse the signs of aging, restoring a youthful appearance. By repositioning skin and tightening tissues, Dr. Park's facelift techniques are incredibly natural and rejuvenate your beauty to a magnificent glow.

There's no single "ideal" age; it depends on individual signs of aging. Most patients considering a facelift are in their 50s, 60s, or 70s, but some may benefit earlier if they have significant skin laxity.
At Face N Body Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery, our surgeons, Dr. Park and Dr. Cheah, specialize in advanced techniques, such as the Deep Plane Facelift, which lifts underlying structures for a natural, refreshed look that avoids a "pulled" appearance. Our philosophy is "less is more," ensuring harmonious results.
Yes, a comprehensive facelift typically includes significant improvements to the neck area, addressing loose skin, muscle banding, and excess fat under the chin to create a smoother, more defined jawline and neck contour.
Most patients feel comfortable returning to light activities and non-strenuous work within 2 to 3 weeks, although individual healing times vary. Full social readiness often takes a bit longer, as swelling continues to resolve.
A traditional facelift provides comprehensive rejuvenation of the mid-face, lower face, and neck. A mini-facelift is a less invasive procedure that targets more isolated areas of sagging, typically the jawline and neck, with shorter incisions and less downtime. Your surgeon will recommend the best option for your goals.
Yes, facelift surgery is often combined with a neck lift for complete facial rejuvenation. At Face N Body, we offer a combined deep plane facelift and neck lift to ensure the highest quality outcomes.
A traditional facelift addresses outer facial tissues, while a deep plane facelift is a highly advanced technique that lifts underlying facial muscles and tissues for an impeccably rejuvenated appearance.
Yes, a facelift can be combined with other facial surgery treatments to address multiple concerns in a single surgical procedure. You may also choose to complement your facelift with non-surgical treatments, such as laser skin resurfacing, for enhanced results.
While a facelift is an excellent option for many patients, some conditions may contraindicate treatment. Patients who are current smokers or who have underlying health conditions, poor wound healing, reactions to anesthesia, or skin with poor elasticity may not be candidates for facelift surgery.
