A facelift is designed to improve visible signs of facial aging by addressing excess skin, jowling, and loss of definition along the lower face and jawline. Modern facelift techniques go beyond simple skin tightening to restore smoother, more youthful facial contours. Treatment is tailored to each patient’s anatomy, degree of aging, and aesthetic goals.

A deep plane facelift is a more advanced facelift technique often recommended for patients with more significant facial sagging, heavier jowling, or deeper facial folds. By releasing and repositioning deeper structural support layers, this approach can achieve more comprehensive correction while maintaining natural facial movement and expression. It is especially valuable when a traditional lift may not provide enough improvement or could create a less natural result.

A mini facelift is designed to address early facial aging by improving mild jowling and restoring definition along the jawline. It is best suited for patients with less advanced skin laxity who may not yet require a full facelift. For the right candidate, it can provide subtle, natural looking rejuvenation with meaningful improvement to the lower face.

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is designed to refresh the eyes by treating concerns affecting the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. Depending on your anatomy, treatment may address excess skin, puffiness, under eye bags, hollowness, or shadowing beneath the eyes. Advanced techniques may include fat repositioning or fat transfer to restore smoother, more youthful contours while preserving natural expression.

Upper eyelid surgery removes excess skin and tissue from the upper eyelids to improve hooding and restore a more open, refreshed appearance. In some patients, excess skin can even interfere with vision. Careful surgical planning helps improve eyelid definition while maintaining natural shape and function.

A neck lift addresses loose or crepey skin beneath the chin, prominent neck banding, and loss of definition between the jawline and neck. By tightening underlying support structures and refining excess tissue, the procedure creates a smoother, more elegant neckline. It is often combined with a facelift for balanced facial rejuvenation.

A mini neck lift is often recommended for patients with early signs of neck aging, including mild skin laxity and softening beneath the jawline. This procedure focuses on restoring definition to the jawline and upper neck before more significant laxity develops. For the right candidate, it can provide refined, natural looking improvement with less extensive correction than a full neck lift.

Facial fat grafting restores volume to areas that become hollow or deflated with age, including the cheeks, temples, under eyes, and lips. Using your own purified fat, this procedure softens facial contours and helps create a fuller, more refreshed appearance. Results can be long-lasting and are especially appealing to patients seeking natural volume restoration without fillers.

Chin surgery enhances facial harmony by improving chin projection, shape, and overall profile balance. A weak or recessed chin can soften the jawline and affect the proportions of the entire face. Chin enhancement can improve definition and create stronger balance between the chin, jaw, and nose.

Chin liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure designed to remove stubborn fat beneath the chin and refine the jawline for a slimmer, more defined profile. Even healthy, fit patients can struggle with fullness in this area that does not improve with diet or exercise. For patients with skin laxity in addition to excess fat, combining treatment with skin tightening may provide more comprehensive improvement.

Neck liposuction targets excess fullness beneath the jaw and through the upper neck to create a more defined neck contour. It is often ideal for patients with a heavier neck that softens jawline definition and affects overall facial balance. When skin laxity is also present, combining treatment with skin tightening may provide more comprehensive improvement.

FaceTite is a minimally invasive radiofrequency treatment used in combination with chin liposuction to tighten mild skin laxity beneath the chin and along the upper neck. By delivering controlled heat beneath the skin, it helps improve contour while stimulating collagen production for continued tightening over time. FaceTite is often ideal for patients with mild excess skin who are not ready for a neck lift.
