    What is a Facelift?

    A Facelift, also called a rhytidectomy, surgically tightens the face and neck areas. While the goal of a Facelift is to achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance, some people may be hesitant due to concerns about unnatural-looking results. In the past, Facelift techniques were less refined, and the outcome could sometimes appear artificial. Images of abnormally stretched or strained facial features come to mind. However, significant advancements have been made in Facelift technology, allowing surgeons to achieve remarkably natural-looking results. Current technology has vastly improved how the process is done, doing away with the preconceptions that having a Facelift might have previously given.

    What are the Benefits of a Facelift?

    The Facelift procedure has been around for years and has been performed on countless patients to revitalize the appearance and reduce the most prominent aging symptoms on the face.

    Some of the benefits of a Facelift include:

    • A Facelift can address aesthetic issues caused by sagging skin
    • Deep wrinkles and creases in the mid face area can be softened
    • A Facelift can tighten the skin under the chin and on the neck
    • A youthful, refreshed appearance that looks natural when performed by a skilled surgeon

    What Areas Can a Facelift Address?

    The face is divided into three segments: the upper, mid, and lower face.

    • The upper face encompasses the forehead and the area above the eyebrows.
    • The mid-face includes the cheeks, the lower eyelids, and the nose.
    • The lower face extends from the base of the nose to the chin.

    A Facelift can help with different concerns depending on what you need. For instance, if you have wrinkles on your forehead, there are minimally invasive techniques that use small incisions hidden in your hairline to lift the tissue underneath without affecting the skin too much.

    If you're thinking about getting a Facelift in Beverly Hills, your first step is to have a consultation with one of our top facelift surgeons. During this meeting, you'll be able to talk about what you want to achieve with the surgery. The surgeon will look at your face and suggest the best techniques to help you reach your goals. This is also your chance to explain why you want a facelift and ask any questions you may have. We want to make sure you fully understand the procedure and feel comfortable. Your medical history and current health will also be carefully reviewed to make sure we create the best plan for you. This thorough approach ensures that the results will match exactly what you're looking for.

    Tailoring Your Rejuvenation

    Exploring Facelift Options

    While the traditional Facelift remains a powerful tool for facial rejuvenation, modern advancements offer a wider range of options to address each person’s individual concerns. At Plastic Surgery Institute, we use a personalized approach to achieve a refreshed and youthful appearance. Let's take a look at some of the alternative Facelift options available:

    Mini Facelift

    This targeted procedure focuses on the lower face and jawline, addressing concerns like jowls and loss of definition. It utilizes smaller incisions and offers a quicker recovery time compared to a full Facelift, making it ideal for those seeking a subtle improvement.

    Mid-Facelift

    This procedure focuses on the middle part of the face to help with issues like sagging cheeks and deep smile lines. It can be done on its own or along with other treatments like eyelid surgery for an overall more youthful look.

    Non-Surgical Facelifts

    If you want to improve your appearance without surgery, you might be interested in non-surgical facelifts. These treatments involve using injections like Botox and Dysport to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as dermal fillers to add volume to your face and smooth out wrinkles. Non-surgical facelifts can give you noticeable results without requiring a lot of downtime.

    A Facelift can reduce common symptoms of aging

    The Facelift procedure has been around for years and has been performed on countless patients to revitalize the appearance and reduce the most prominent aging symptoms on the face.

    Medical advancements have drastically changed the Facelift procedure, but the goal remains the same. Still, many people have misconceptions about what Facelifts can and cannot do. We are committed to making sure our patients fully understand what we do so they can make the best decision for themselves. Dr. Ritu Chopra and the team at Plastic Surgery Institute strive to provide the best Facelift Beverly Hills has to offer.

    Advances in Facelift Techniques

    Traditionally, Facelifts involved simply tightening the skin, often leading to an unnatural "windblown" appearance. This approach addressed the visible signs of aging, but not the underlying causes. Thankfully, advancements in surgical techniques and our understanding of facial anatomy have revolutionized Facelifts. Today's procedures address the deeper structures of the face, including muscle and tissue laxity. By lifting the face vertically, we can counteract the downward pull of gravity and time, restoring a more youthful and rested appearance. This new Facelift technique results in a more rested and youthful look.

    The SMAS Facelift

    Beverly Hills Facelift surgeons Dr. Chopra and Dr. Villanueva perform Facelifts using the SMAS technique. Typical Facelifts only lift the top layer of facial tissue, giving patients the too-tight, "worked-on" appearance. But the SMAS technique lifts three layers of facial tissue at once, resulting in a more cohesive lift.

    Because the SMAS layer has fibers connected to the other layers, lifting the SMAS layer also lifts the layers above it. This is essential for retaining your face's natural appearance, as it keeps the layers of tissue together as one cohesive unit. Another advantage to the SMAS Facelift is the direction of its pull. Typical Facelifts offer a backward pull, another contributor to the "worked-on" look. Although this approach did create a tighter-looking face, it disrupted the natural appearance of the skin. With a SMAS Facelift, the pull vector is vertical – opposite to gravity's pull – leading to a beautiful, natural lift.

    The Deep Plane Facelift

    At the Plastic Surgery Institute, Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Ritu Chopra offers deep plane Facelifts to provide our patients with the most effective plastic surgery techniques. Deep plane Facelifts lift the deep plane tissues beneath your facial skin, while keeping the skin and muscles above intact. Deep plane Facelifts do go deeper than other Facelifts, but when done by skilled professionals like Dr. Chopra, they can offer dynamic, long lasting results without additional recovery times. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Chopra today to learn more about this exciting and long-lasting procedure.

    Compared to traditional Facelifts, deep plane Facelifts offer:

    • More dynamic results
    • Greater flattening of the nasolabial folds
    • Longer lasting results
    • A more natural appearance
    • Comparable recovery times to other Facelifts
    • Reduced skin sagging in both the face and neck

    Facelift Results

    After their Facelift Beverly Hills patients at Plastic Surgery Institute will not only appear more youthful and refreshed, but also experience a renewed sense of self-confidence that radiates from the inside out.

    The results of your Facelift can last for five to ten years. Some decide to have another Facelift performed after several years, but most do not. The longevity of Facelift results is a notable advantage to this cosmetic procedure. While no procedure can halt the natural aging process entirely, a Facelift provides enduring benefits that can last for many years.

    Although a Facelift is designed to take years off your appearance, individual results will vary. Many factors play a role, including your lifestyle, facial structure, and genetic profile factor into the effectiveness of your Facelift.

    Facelift Recovery

    New facelift methods involve smaller incisions, which means less impact on the body and quicker healing. Surgeons are also using tissue glue along with stitches to make sure the wounds heal well. This reduces the risk of complications and makes it possible to recover without bandages. As a result, patients can get back to their normal routines in just a week, compared to the usual two to three weeks. Plus, the new techniques help minimize scarring, so any marks are hardly noticeable after the surgery.

    As with any surgical procedure, you need to thoughtfully take care of yourself and carefully follow any post-procedure instructions. Keep your head elevated and have someone who can help you nearby for at least the first day. When sleeping, do your best to avoid sleeping on your side. Instead, lie on your back and consider using two pillows. You may have some temporary bruising and swelling. After your Facelift Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Chopra will instruct you on how to deal with these. He may prescribe medication for pain and swelling. If not, you may use an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

    Facelift Patient Reviews

    “So happy I had a deep plane Facelift”

    “Dr Chopra is an incredibly talented surgeon who really cares about his patients, and it’s obvious he loves what he does. He’s there for you every step of the way and so are the staff, who are also very supportive and go out of their way to make sure you feel welcome. Everyone there is awesome. So happy I had the surgery, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.”

    “Kind, Compassionate, Trustworthy.”

    “I’ve done the research for you and saw 25 top tier surgeons before deciding on Dr. Chopra. Look no further — by far the most excellent and expertise plastic surgeon. He’s a fantastic surgical artist. No God complex. Professional. Comfortable. Kind. Compassionate. Trustworthy. 100% proven commitment to his clients. I’ve never known of a better doctor who could make vast changes to my face and neck that made me look younger and feel fabulous, and yet you would never have known I’ve had a Facelift. He is remarkable. Thank you, Dr. Chopra for changing my life. And, I got the greatest care by everyone in the Ordon/Chopra office. Thank you Mandy Bodrero. Your management and assistance is excellent and heartfelt, as well as Elizabeth and Whitney always warmly assisting me. Thank you for everyone who participated in my surgery — the scrub tech and thank you for your awesome help, Dr. Ordon, Rylan Reynolds’s and Dr. Nathanial Villanueva.”

    “What Dr. Chopra achieved for me far exceeded expectations.”

    “Dr. Chopra and his team get 5 stars all the way around, from beginning to end. Everyone really cared for my situation and helped me through the decision, procedure, and aftercare. I had lost a lot of weight, plus of course aging into my 60s, and I had some pretty loose jowls and a bad turkey neck. My procedures were a deep plane Facelift, neck lift, and fat transfer. I had an idea of what would be excellent results from these procedures, but what Dr. Chopra achieved for me far exceeded expectations. I’m super glad I went through with the procedures and that my Dr. was Dr. Chopra.”

    “I knew it was time for a Facelift.”

    “I've always looked younger than my age, but in the past year 1/2 I looked tired and old, my usual tight skin was so flaccid that when I looked in the mirror I couldn't believe my neck. I don't have many wrinkles, I'm 64 years old but still feel pretty young at heart and my energy just didn't match my face. So I knew it was time for a Facelift. This is the best decision I have made. I'm extremely happy with my results only 14 days after my procedure... I am so grateful to Dr. Chopra and his team for taking good care of me and giving me a younger version of myself.”

    “Dr. Chopra gave me back my youthful face!”

    “Dr. Chopra gave me back my youthful face, neck and jawline and did a breast implant replacement that I had put off for many years. The surgeon and staff are so friendly and helpful and so very pleased with the results. Chopra was 100% available after surgery for any issues but there were none. Highly recommended for any face neck or breast work.”

    Facelift Frequently Asked Questions

    Here are some other frequently asked questions many people have regarding obtaining a Facelift.

    How do I know a Facelift is right for me?

    Many people rely on non-invasive treatments or over-the-counter treatments to maintain the youthful vibrancy of their skin. When those measures lose their effectiveness and you are left with loose or sagging skin, it may be time to consider our Beverly Hills Facelift procedure.

    What's the best age to get a Facelift?

    Most of those who get a Facelift do so between their 40's and 60's. But some experience great results with Facelifts in their 70's and even in their 80's. The key is to be in good health with enough extra skin to make the procedure viable.

    As we get older, our skin can start to sag and we may notice some extra fat around our face and neck. This can be caused by things like spending too much time in the sun or gaining and losing weight. Taking good care of your skin and staying at a healthy weight can make a big difference in how you look. In some cases, people might consider a facelift surgery for more noticeable changes.

    Will my face look stretched back or otherwise strange?

    Your Facelift, when done correctly, will look natural. There will be a visible difference in your appearance. That is, after all, why you're undergoing the procedure. But your face will not look strained or stretched.

    How much pain will I experience in recovery?

    You may experience varying degrees of pain, depending on your specific procedure. You can also expect some numbness that may last for several weeks after your procedure. This is perfectly normal.

    Will others notice I've just had surgery?

    In the time immediately after their Facelift Beverly Hills patients will notice swelling and bruising. They may also experience stiffness. Under normal circumstances, these conditions will subside relatively quickly.

    Will I need to adjust my routine as I recover?

    You should refrain from strenuous activity for several weeks after your Facelift. We encourage you to discuss your specific concerns with us before scheduling your procedure.

    What do I need to know before getting a Facelift?

    During your consultation with Dr. Chopra, be sure to ask questions and become fully familiar with the facelift options, the areas that can be addressed, and the expected outcome. Effective communication with your surgeon is crucial for understanding your aesthetic goals and the potential results.

    What are the dos and don’ts after a Facelift?

    • Do thoroughly discuss your Facelift options and medical history during your consultation.
    • Do follow all of your doctor’s instructions for preparing for surgery.
    • Do become fully informed on exactly what your Facelift will address so you go into the procedure with realistic expectations.
    • Don’t worry if you don’t see immediate results. Notable improvement takes two to three weeks to appear.
    • Don’t overdo things or rush getting back to your normal routines after your procedure; take all the time you need with recovery.
    • Don’t skip follow-up appointments during recovery; make sure you are getting the support you need.

    How long will it take for my face to settle after a Facelift?

    While some initial swelling and bruising are common, noticeable improvement becomes evident within two to three weeks. However, it can take several months for your face to settle fully and achieve the final results.

    Can I combine a Facelift with other procedures for better results?

    Yes, combining a Facelift with other procedures like eyelid surgery, brow lift, or fat transfer can enhance your overall rejuvenation and achieve a more harmonious result. A consultation with Dr. Chopra can help determine what combination of procedures is right for you.

    No matter what brought you here, a visit with our doctors will bring out the best in you. Call us today to schedule your initial consultation, either in person or online.
