What is a Facelift (Rhytidectomy)?

A Facelift is also known as a Rhytidectomy literally meaning the removal of wrinkles. A facelift is typically performed to remove excess and/or loose, sagging skin from the face and neck. Facelifts target the common signs of aging and skin damage, including wrinkles, deep creases, and lost volume. Dr. Azouz strives for a natural look that restores facial volume, and tightens the skin to provide a more youthful and rested appearance. A facelift results in a younger, rejuvenated version of yourself. In some cases, a facelift can be combined with blepharoplasty, brow lift, fat grafting or eyelid surgery, for a more significant improvement. Dr. Azouz usually recommends staging laser skin resurfacing after a facelift. Dr. Azouz camouflages and hides the incisions of a facelift in the hair, behind the ear, and in the natural creases of the face.

Dr. Azouz is generally performs facelifts under local anesthesia with sedation, allowing you to be comfortable during the surgery while still protecting the nerves of facial animation. When needed, Dr. Azouz performs liposuction of the fat beneath the chin and neck. Dr. Azouz performs a “double layer” facelift in order to tighten the sagging muscles and connective tissues of the face (SMAS facelift). The objective of a facelift surgery is to provide a natural, younger, and more attractive appearance.

Recovery time varies for each patient. Healing is usually gradual, with final results appearing approximately one month after surgery. As with all surgical procedures, Dr. Azouz’s provides specific aftercare instructions and close follow-up to ensure a positive healing process, and to maintain facelift results.

Cost of A Facelift

The cost of a facelift varies according to the patients medical history, anatomic characteristics and is individualized to a patients needs. Patients often elect to combine a facelift with upper and lower lid blepharoplasty, as well as liposuction of the neck. Skin care and laser resurfacing can further enhance the results of a facelift.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best age for a facelift?

While most patients consider having a facelift in their 50s or 60s there is no specific age that a patient should be before having a facelift or eyelid surgery. Dr. Azouz has performed facelifts on patients in their 30s to patients in their 80s. Even some young patients may have excess skin, volume (fat) and bone loss, which causes their appearance to no longer reflect their chronologic age. Some patients may look older than other patients of the same age or feel much younger than their chronologic age, meaning the right time for a facelift in Dallas will be unique to their goals. It’s important to note that facelift surgery can make the face and neck look as much as ten to twenty years younger in the hands of a board certified plastic surgeon.
