A facelift lifts and tightens the lower face and neck to address sagging skin and loss of definition. My Advanced Facelift focuses on repositioning the SMAS layer and deep tissues to deliver natural, long-lasting results without the pulled look.

You’ll be awake but relaxed with oral Valium. Most patients find it surprisingly easy. Local anesthesia reduces risks and promotes quicker recovery.

Absolutely. My goal is to help you look refreshed and youthful—not different. Expect a smoother jawline, lifted neck, and comments that you look well-rested.

It’s a surgical procedure but takes only 90 minutes. Because it’s done under local anesthesia, recovery is faster and the experience is gentler than you’d expect.

Local anesthesia means faster recovery, less risk, no grogginess, and minimal bleeding. Most patients go home within hours and feel great post-op.

No—unless you choose to tell them. My incisions are hidden and results are subtle. You’ll look refreshed, not operated on.

Most patients return to light activity within 5–10 days. We provide a Medrol dose pack to reduce swelling and clear recovery instructions for a smooth return to life.

Local anesthesia, meticulous technique, extensive experience, and a fully accredited facility make this a very safe procedure with consistently excellent outcomes.

Typically 8 to 15 years. You’ll always look younger than you would have otherwise, and I’ll help you maintain results with non-surgical options as needed.

Swelling, bruising, temporary numbness, infection, or scarring are rare but possible. We review everything with you beforehand and guide you through recovery every step of the way.

I reposition and secure the SMAS layer, often releasing deeper attachments for more effective lifting. This deep support is what creates long-lasting, natural results.

I never pull the skin. By treating underlying structures and lifting with precision, the skin lays naturally and you look youthful, not stretched.

Mini-lifts typically only tighten skin. My Advanced Facelift addresses deeper tissues, producing more refined and longer-lasting results. It’s comprehensive and superior in both artistry and outcome.

We give you a calming oral sedative. Most patients feel so relaxed they nap during the procedure. Our entire environment is designed for peace and comfort.

Incisions follow natural creases around the ear and are very well hidden. They fade significantly over time, even for short-haired patients.

Yes. Day 1: Rest. Day 2–3: Bruising/swelling begins. Day 4–7: Peak swelling fades. Day 8–10: Sutures removed. Week 2+: Back to makeup and social life. We’re here for you every day.

We provide private scheduling, discreet entrances/exits, and strict confidentiality. Your privacy is fully respected throughout your journey.

By lifting and supporting the SMAS and releasing ligaments, we reset your facial foundation. This keeps results looking natural and lasting 9–15 years.

We evaluate health, healing ability, and goals. Most healthy adults are good candidates. If not, I’ll guide you to safer or more effective alternatives.

Most patients only need Tylenol. Soreness and tightness are typical, but not true pain. We guide you closely through icing, rest, and wound care to ensure comfort.

I use deep, absorbable sutures to secure the lifted SMAS in gravity-defying vectors. These dissolve gradually while natural scar tissue takes over for long-term support.

Local anesthesia reduces risk, bleeding, and recovery time. With just a Valium, patients are relaxed yet responsive. It’s safer, smoother, and preferred by nearly all my facelift patients.

Blood loss is typically less than 10cc due to epinephrine and precise technique. This minimizes swelling, bruising, and risk of complications like hematomas.

I address neck bands when needed through chin or behind-ear incisions. Platysmaplasty restores smooth neck contours but isn’t always required depending on your anatomy.

My incisions follow natural contours around the ear and avoid large neck incisions. I minimize visible scarring and avoid skin tension for smooth, discreet healing.

Absolutely. Every plan is personalized. We target areas like jowls with vector-specific lifts, and can enhance with fat grafting or fillers if needed.

Thin skin, prior surgeries, heavy tissues, or health conditions require customized strategies. I adapt my technique to each patient’s needs and anatomy.

Epinephrine reduces bleeding and prolongs anesthesia. It lowers post-op bruising and swelling, improving healing time and surgical visibility.

We offer discreet entry/exit, private scheduling, and strict confidentiality protocols. High-profile patients are treated with exceptional privacy and care.

Yes—during consultation, I’ll show you curated galleries of similar patients. We also have video journeys from real clients that offer even more insight into what to expect.
