What Is a Facelift?
A facelift is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the face and neck by addressing the visible signs of aging. As the most comprehensive solution for treating facial wrinkles and sagging caused by gravity, fat loss, and changes in muscle and bone structure, a facelift effectively restores a more youthful appearance. The procedure removes excess skin, smooths wrinkles, and tightens the underlying muscles and tissues that support the facial structure, correcting issues such as mid-face sagging, jowls, and a double chin.
Our goal is to enhance your beauty by creating refined, natural results that celebrate your unique features with hidden scar techniques to ensure discreet results.

How Facelifts Address the Signs of Aging
Aging causes volume loss, skin laxity, deep folds, and fat accumulation in the lower face. Facelift surgery corrects these changes by lifting and tightening the skin and deeper layers. This restores youthful contours and a smooth jawline, addressing jowls, double chin, and nasolabial folds. Combining facelifts with other treatments can enhance results and promote natural-looking rejuvenation.
The Facelift Procedure and Our Personalized Approach
At MOY MD, we prioritize your comfort and relaxation while offering options that are safer than general anesthesia. These alternatives promote faster recovery, minimize bruising, and eliminate the need for surgical drains. Facelift procedures are typically performed using tumescent local anesthesia or twilight anesthesia.
Our approach to facelift surgery focuses on two key steps. First, the deeper facial tissues, including the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS), are lifted and tightened to reposition sagging areas and provide long-lasting support. Next, the skin is gently re-draped over the newly contoured structure, with any excess skin removed for a smooth and youthful result. In some cases, fat may be sculpted or redistributed from areas like the jowls or neck to enhance volume in the cheeks and mid-face, restoring natural proportions and youthful contours. Deep folds and wrinkles are also softened, creating a more defined jawline and chin. Incisions are carefully placed along the hairline and natural contours of the face and ears, ensuring they remain virtually undetectable.
Treating the Whole Face
During the facelift procedure, excess skin and fat are trimmed away and the underlying muscles are lifted and tightened. For a more comprehensive rejuvenation, facelift surgeries can be combined with additional procedures like a minimally invasive neck lift, helping to restore a youthful look to the entire face and neck. While a facelift is highly effective in rejuvenating sagging contours, it typically does not address issues like heavy eyelids or drooping brows. For patients with these concerns, we often recommend combining treatments to achieve the best results.
One of the most impactful additions is combining facelift surgery with laser resurfacing to address skin concerns such as fine lines, texture irregularities, or sun damage. Wrinkles around the mouth, crepey under-eye skin, and discoloration from sun exposure can be significantly improved with laser treatments, creating a more harmonious and refreshed appearance. When aging contours are corrected without addressing damaged skin, the contrast can sometimes appear unnatural. By addressing both concerns together, we aim to achieve balanced, natural-looking results. Our surgeons are dedicated to helping you look your best and will work with you to design a treatment plan tailored to your unique goals, including suggestions for additional treatments or skincare products to enhance your outcome.
