What Is a Facelift?
A facelift, or rhytidectomy, repositions sagging facial tissues and smooths lax skin to refine the lower face and neck. At Northside, our Natural Facelift focuses on lifting structural layers such as the SMAS and deeper facial planes before gently re-draping the skin. The result is a balanced, enduring rejuvenation with incisions placed discreetly along natural creases and hairlines.
Benefits of a Facelift
- Natural, balanced rejuvenation of the cheeks, jawline, and neck
- Sharper jawline and reduced jowling
- Smoother, firmer skin with softened folds and wrinkles
- Seamless integration with eyelid, brow, or neck rejuvenation
- Strategic incision placement for minimal visibility
- Long-lasting improvement that ages gracefully with you

Am I a Good Candidate for a Facelift?
A facelift may be right for you if you have visible jowling, neck laxity, or deep folds and are in good overall health with realistic goals. Non-smoking status, consistent skincare, and stable weight support optimal healing. Most candidates are in their 40s to 70s, though suitability depends on health and anatomy. During your consultation, we will evaluate skin elasticity, volume loss, and facial structure to personalize your treatment plan.

Your Consultation
Your visit includes a full medical review, facial analysis, and professional photography. We often use Vectra XT 3D imaging to visualize potential results and align expectations. You will leave with a personalized plan tailored to your anatomy, goals, and recovery preferences, ensuring every detail of your facelift journey is customized to you.
How Much Does It Cost?
Your facelift investment typically begins around $11,500, with exact pricing based on the technique, anesthesia, facility time, and any complementary procedures. You will receive a detailed, personalized estimate during your consultation.
What to Expect During a Facelift
Facelift surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure under IV sedation or general anesthesia. Incisions begin within the temporal hairline, curve along or just inside the ear, around the earlobe, and continue into the posterior hairline. Once the SMAS and platysma layers are tightened, the skin is gently re-draped to achieve symmetry and contour. If indicated, limited neck liposuction or platysma refinement enhances definition beneath the chin.
Facelift Recovery and Results
- Recovery is typically smoother than most patients expect, with mild discomfort managed by acetaminophen
- Swelling and bruising peak early, then fade noticeably within one to two weeks
- Many patients return to work or social activities after about ten days
- Light walking supports circulation and healing; wait for clearance before resuming strenuous activity
- As swelling resolves, contours become smoother, more defined, and naturally rejuvenated
- Ongoing skincare, sun protection, and healthy habits help maintain long-term results
Natural Facelift vs. Traditional Facelift
Traditional facelifts often depend on tightening the skin’s surface, which can create tension, visible scars, or an over-pulled appearance. The Natural Facelift works beneath the skin, lifting and securing the deeper SMAS and supporting structures before gently re-draping the surface. This deeper approach restores natural contours, minimizes scar tension, and produces smoother, longer-lasting results that age gracefully over time.
Complementary Procedures for Full-Face Harmony
- Neck Lift: Refines bands and fullness below the chin for a sharper jawline.
- Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): Brightens the eyes by removing excess skin and puffiness.
- Brow Lift: Lifts drooping brows and smooths forehead lines.
- Facial Fat Transfer: Restores natural volume to cheeks, temples, and jawline using your own fat.
- Injectables and Skin Treatments: BOTOX, Dysport, fillers such as Sculptra, medical-grade skincare, chemical peels, and Ultherapy to sustain long-term vibrancy.

Facelift FAQ
How young is too young for a facelift?
Candidates often begin exploring surgery in their 40s, though anatomy, genetics, and lifestyle matter more than age. For earlier signs of aging, non-surgical options or a mini facelift may be more appropriate.
How long do facelift results last?
A facelift can maintain improvement for many years, depending on genetics, skin quality, and ongoing care. Professional skincare and volume maintenance extend results significantly.
Will I look like myself afterward?
The Natural Facelift enhances your existing features by restoring balance and lift without altering your unique appearance.
When can I wear makeup or attend events?
Most patients are ready for light makeup after 10 to 14 days. We will provide personalized guidance based on your healing progress.
Is a mini facelift right for me?
Mini techniques are ideal for mild laxity and shorter recovery needs. During your consultation, we will compare mini, standard, and deep plane options to match your anatomy and goals.
What about scars?
Incisions follow natural creases and hairlines, often hidden around the tragus and behind the ear. Fine suturing, silicone therapy, and sun protection promote nearly invisible healing.
Are there non-surgical alternatives?
Ultherapy, Sculptra, and hyaluronic acid fillers can improve tone and contour but cannot replace surgical lifting. We can design a non-surgical plan if surgery is not yet the right option.
