What is a facelift?

A facelift (rhytidectomy) improves the visible signs of aging in the face and neck, providing the best results for those who are looking for an effective and long-lasting solution. At Regency, we offer a custom facelift and complementary cosmetic techniques for both men and women to restore confidence and quality of life.

Key benefits of a facelift

A facelift has the ability to:

Improve sagging in the mid-face
Soften deep creases under the lower eyelids
Slim jowls around the jawline
Smooth deep facial folds of the face and neck
Improve marionette lines
Tighten the muscles of your face
Address loose skin and excess fat under the chin
Remove loose skin under the chin and jaw
Create smoother facial contours
Successfully deliver a more youthful appearance

Full facelift vs. mini facelift

Full facelift: The full facelift is ideal for patients who want a significant improvement of mid-face descent and jowling, as well as the “turkey neck” that many patients have and want to remove. A full facelift results in prolonged improvement, and is very high in patient satisfaction.

Mini lift: The mini facelift is a great option for patients who have a combination of minimal sagging of the mid-face and jowls, and minimal neck deformity. The re-suspension of the mid-face at the deeper layers allows for skin tightening on the surface with minimal tension. A mini lift takes approximately two hours and achieves long-term results in correctly selected patients.

Finding the right surgeon

The first step to preparing for a facelift is to find the right surgeon. It’s of the utmost importance to select a board-certified facelift specialist with plenty of experience, expertise, and knowledge of the structure and anatomy of the face. Once you have found a surgeon you think you like, schedule a consultation with him or her. If you’re interested in receiving a facelift in Phoenix, Buckeye, Surprise, or the surrounding areas, our team at Regency offers some of the best plastic surgeons in Arizona. We would love to meet with you.

Types of Facelifts

Traditional facelift

The traditional facelift that most people know of targets the mid-face, neck, and jowls. The incision goes along the front and behind the ear. Excess skin and fat from the lower face and neck are removed, and the skin and underlying tissue is tightened. This procedure typically takes four hours and several weeks’ recovery time.

SMAS lift

A SMAS lift enhances the traditional facelift by elevating the skin as well as deeper tissues of the face and neck. The incision is made in front of the ear, through which the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) is raised and tightened. The skin is also tightened.

Pair with a neck lift

A neck lift is a procedure that can transform a weighty, aged profile into a more sculpted and youthful one. When there’s wrinkled or excess skin under the chin and around the jowls, it distracts from your features and can make you look much older or heavier than you actually are. A neck lift brings out the real you from underneath all that skin or those wrinkles.
